It's no secret that every day, when applying for a job, employers put forward more and more new requirements. Interviews, filling out questionnaires and creating a resume - the only way you can count on getting a good position. The first two points are more or less clear. To answer the questions of the questionnaire, it is enough to carefully fill in the necessary data. At the interview, the situation is more complicated, but most people have an idea of how and what will happen there. The main thing here is not to get confused and like the employer.
But how to write a resume, which key skills in the resume are the main ones, it is difficult to understand right away. The word "summary" is translated from French as "the course of life" or simply "about life." Not everyone is capable of compiling a logically complete and informative story about their own work experience, labor skills and knowledge. Human psychology is such that it is easier for him to answer a specific question than to compose any story. To do this, we list a few points that are mandatory for compiling a resume.
Information that must be contained in the resume
- The position claimed by the candidate. Accurate job posting increases the chances of your resume being noticed. This indicates the presence of a clearly defined goal. In no case should you write instead of a specific post: an interesting job or something like that. It is also not recommended to indicate several posts at once, this reduces the candidate's chances. One vacancy - one resume. Key skills - only related to future work
- The purpose of a shift or job search.
- Surname, name, patronymic of the candidate.
- Experience. When describing work experience, one should not only list the positions held by the candidate, but also describe the tasks performed.
- Phone number.
- Email address
- Candidate’s date of birth.
- Knowledge of foreign languages.
- Information about education (place of study). It is worth explaining here that it is necessary to indicate specialized key skills. In the resume of the manager it is not necessary to indicate a music school in the column "Education".
- Technical skills that the candidate is fluent in.
- The presence of awards in competitions related to the selected position.
After the above points are completed, once again pay attention to how professional key skills are highlighted. In the summary, this part is one of the most important. In addition to the required items, there is data that does not matter when applying for a job.
Extra or unnecessary information
In no case should the following information be included in the summary:
- Description of the financial situation of the candidate.
- Amount of children.
- A hobby, unless it reflects the character traits of a candidate that may be of interest to a potential employer.
- The physical data of the candidate.
- Reasons for previous layoffs.
Classic Resume Mistakes
- Borrowing someone else's resume.
- The presence of spelling, syntactic and stylistic errors. If there are any, then the employer most likely will not even consider this resume.
- Unclearly stated goals. The main emphasis is not on key skills in the resume, but on secondary, minor details.
Another important point: the resume should be easy to read. To do this, it should be divided into paragraphs, semantic paragraphs. At the same time, you must adhere to a business style. It is better to choose one type of font. To highlight important information, use the same bold font and, of course, avoid colorful paragraphs. Key skills in the resume can be separated by an empty line or underlined.
Only truthful information should be used. Often, applicants when writing a resume use false facts in the description of education, awards or work experience, but all this is easily verified. Therefore, trust and affection for such a person does not arise. Candidates with an honest resume find themselves in a better position at the interview.
