Each time we write a resume, we face the same problem - filling out the “positive and negative qualities” item. Often we pay insufficient attention to him, as a result of which we are not hired. The fact is that for the leader it is important not only education and work experience, but also the positive qualities of a person.
Oh, how hard it is sometimes to remember at least one of your good quality! Not at all because they are not there! Just at the most crucial moment, as luck would have it, nothing comes to mind. Moreover, not all positive and
negative qualities of a person should be taken into account in each resume. If you apply for one position - it should be one list, another - another. Of course, many qualities will appear in that and in another resume, but it is worth understanding that not all of them are important for a specific activity.
First, let's talk about what positive qualities of a person are always important. Of course, these are:
- a desire to work;
- punctuality;
- attentiveness;
- politeness;
- responsibility;
- honesty;
- determination.
Any employer will appreciate such personality traits in an employee. However, remember that cheating is not the best way to get a job. Therefore, everything that you wrote in your resume should be true. All these traits should be brought up in any person from birth, therefore, most likely, you will not have to deceive.
We go further. What positive
qualities of a person allow you to apply for a certain position? Everything here is also quite simple. If the vacancy that you want to take involves working with people, then you (ideally) should have:
- self-control;
- sociability;
- cheerfulness;
- sociability;
- stress resistance;
- the ability to find a common language with customers.
For the secretary or office manager, attraction will not be superfluous. You must admit that such a person is the face of the company, and customers should like it. If the position involves working in a team, then the ability to act in concert with other employees will not interfere. Work related to business trips and trips will require energy and the ability to quickly adapt to new circumstances.
But it is worth noting that not all positive qualities of a person remain so in all cases. For example, if a candidate for a programmer’s position will be distinguished by sociability, then the manager might think that he will devote more time to communicating with colleagues rather than work. A cheerful employee of the ritual service is unlikely to tolerate customers.
What specific qualities should be noted in the resume? Again, it depends on the vacancy. If the position involves preliminary training, indicate “learnability”, creative work - tell us about creative thinking and creativity. Skills in preparing certain documents, shorthand, self-criticism - all these qualities should be indicated only in individual cases.
In general, filling out a resume (and even one paragraph) is a serious matter. Tense your memory, remember the existing qualities of a person. Positive and suitable traits for this position will not be difficult to choose from them.
