How to write a resume to be answered

You said to yourself: “They probably didn’t see him,” or: “Maybe I just don’t fit this job.” But most likely, your resume just did not impress the employer. HR managers receive dozens, sometimes hundreds of resumes for one open vacancy. Often, HR managers spend a few seconds to consider each resume, you may be ideally suited for work, but if your resume has at least one typo, if it is poorly formatted, or you use the wrong font, - it can easily be ignored. Business Insider before There are some tips for writing a resume:

1. Do not write the purpose of applying for a resume If you have applied to your employer, it is already obvious that you want to get this job. Nevertheless, if you are in a unique situation, for example, when you change the scope of work completely, it may be useful to include in the resume.

2. Cut out all unnecessary work experience. Yes, you may already have been the “king of cocktails” in the restaurant, you worked at the school. But, if you plan to do this further, it is better to get rid of all that is superfluous so that there is no mess in the resume.

3. Do not include personal information. Marital status, religion, or social security number are standards of the past. The employer may ask you this at the interview. 4. Do not paint your hobbies. If this is not related to the work you are applying for, then this is a waste of company time.

5. Do not indicate your age if you do not want to be discriminated against by the employer.

6. Do not include links. The employer will ask you if he will be interested.

7. Do not use personal pronouns. Your resume should not contain the words “I,” “me,” “she,” or “mine,” etc.

8. Don't include frivolous email names in your resume. If you are still using an email address such as BeerLover123@gmail.com or CuteChick4life@yahoo.com, create a new email address.

9. Do not write “phone”, or “email address” You do not need to write words in front of the phone number, in front of the mail address, and so it’s clear what it is.

10. Do not indicate current job contacts

11. Do not indicate wage levels

12. Text font matters. Do not use Times New Roman and serif fonts, as they are old-fashioned. Use a standard, sans-serif font, such as Arial.

13. Do not use the annoying words “I think outside the box”, “Synergy” and other words annoy HR. Employers would like to see brief words such as: “achieved”, “succeeded”, “resolved”, and “launched”, but they should also be used in moderation.

14. Do not indicate your academic performance at school / university 15. Do not include your photo in the resume

7 steps to writing a resume

Step 1: form It all starts with the form. I mean with a certain template, structure, skeleton, if you want. Once I read that using Internet templates is not comme il faut, and supposedly it even speaks of your Vordov insolvency. Actually, to be honest, this is bullshit. Believe me, in the 21st century, nobody cares exactly where exactly you take the form, if you can bring it into a divine form with your brains. Of such cool examples that made me smile (but in no case doubt the candidate), there were forms of banks with a lot of personal information, such as passport data and a residence address, there were resume templates for some Minsk IT companies with their standard questions and logo, were ... there were resumes even in iksel :-) I myself take one of the standard Word templates: file-> create-> resume. Further, Ms Word offers 3 folders: standard, job specific resume, situation specific resume. Absolutely not sure, but it seems that I myself chose a resume programmer, we...

12 principles of a winning resume

Each applicant seeks to ensure that his resume falls into the hands of a recruitment manager among a huge variety of others. How to create a resume that will attract attention, but at the same time will not be too embellished? A resume that will help you get your dream job should include: 1. Specific figures Use statistics to make the impression you need. For example, the phrase “worked with many clients” is better replaced by the phrase “worked with 8 clients per day on a cyclic schedule.” 2. Simplicity and concreteness There is no need to overload the personnel officer with excessive attention to details and use jargon, and the structure of the resume should not be too complicated. Instead, focus on truly relevant and up-to-date information. Achievements are undoubtedly an important part of the resume, but try to limit yourself to 3-5 achievements for each position held earlier. You must choose the most significant of them, and make sure that they exactly match the vacancy t...
