How to write a CV? one of the first issues faced by job seekers, especially for those who first took on the job search. How to make the resume attractive to the employer is a separate topic, is interesting not only for beginners in employment, but applicants with experience. If you are not invited to interview, after sending a resume to a few companies, perhaps it is in your resume.In this article I want to talk about how to write a CV that will help you make a positive first impression, and will give you an additional opportunity to obtain a desired job.
The summary is a description of the career path of the person, containing information on the skills, experience, education, and other relevant information, Sometimes also meets the abbreviation CV, from lat. — Curriculum Vitae — «for life». Employment the submission of a resume is an essential element of modern business etiquette. And for the applicant’s resume is a good way to present yourself in the most favorable light, and to induce the employer to invite you for a personal meeting.
Consider the order of basic blocks summary.
Your name.
it would Seem that what to say here. But in this paragraph some summary mishaps occur — sometimes applicants do not write your name.
the Reasons why this happens is different, for example:
of Course, it is better if you will write your name on the passport. But if for some reason you are writing the summary fictitious initials will notify the interviewer at the first interview. This will help to avoid many problems in the future. For example, in my practice was the situation when the candidate had almost bought a plane ticket for the final interview in another city under the wrong name.
the Position for which you are applying.
How many on this topic words said and written recommendations, and the errors are the same. If you are considering a different specialty, then for each of them write a separate summary. One of the most important aspects of the selection of candidates is the motivation and your lack of confidence in terms of the desired position, it can be very undermining. The candidate, who in the desired positions separated by commas are, for example, representative and regional Manager, most likely, will not work neither on the first nor on the second. For a managerial position candidate, apparently, not yet Mature enough, and seems to doubt their abilities, but as the representative of developed and, most likely, will not linger on it for a long time.
Biographical information.
do Not need to write a different age. Still Your deception will be revealed when accessing the database, which many companies for many years, or when the registration of a new company. And, despite a great impression on all stages of the selection process, the company is likely to turn you down because of fraud.
Contact information.
Grant all contacts for which You can be contacted: phone, e-mail, skype. If the employer is unable to contact you within 2 days, your application will automatically be removed from the competition due to lack of motivation.
Education.
Enter your basic education, with dates, in reverse order. Specify additional benefits: honors diploma, degree, publications, self-development, etc.
If you have additional education related to the position for which you are applying, and also note it. But if you are looking for a job in a Bank, provide training in art or music school is not necessary. It is better to specify here the corporate training that you were at your last job or independently (trainings, webinars, etc.)
Experience.
as Well as in education indicate all affiliations with dates in reverse chronological order. Make sure you check the company name, position, responsibilities and achievements.
responsibilities. after Reading this paragraph, the employer must understand the direction in which you worked, what problems have you decided what you did with whom they interact.
One of the mistakes that can often be found in summary: too long a list of functional responsibilities, difficult to read. It happens that in this paragraph include the whole extract from the official instructions on a half-sheet. The other extreme, when no point of the duties performed, they say, tell all the details during the interview. But don’t forget, at the interview, you still have to get there, and will invite you or not, just depends on your resume.
Achievement perhaps, this item causes the most questions when drafting your resume. What can be considered an achievement? Remember, the employer takes you to work to solve their problems and the problems associated with the absence of an employee on a specific vacant position. So mark, what have you done for the company and what it has achieved. For example, «learned, acquired skill, gained experience» is your personal achievements, but has increased the turnover, has successfully developed a new direction, has partnered with new key customers, organized a regional conference, etc. » is already your achievements, which were important for the company.
Another error, which occurs when the achievements of the applicants indicate that obligation, and is not something outstanding. For example, «regular execution plan, timely reporting, etc.»
Employers appreciate the specifics, so do not skimp in this paragraph on the numbers, percentages, figures sales (in units, packages, sums), etc.
Additional information:
Here it is necessary to specify the skills and knowledge necessary to perform you this: the level of proficiency in PC and certain computer programs, knowledge of foreign languages, driving license and driving experience of the car, ready to travel, etc.
Professional knowledge and skills:
Here you can briefly summarize your professional skills that can be useful to you for future work.
for Example, the experience of managing staff, experience of sales management, deep knowledge in any field, experience of cooperation with various organizations, etc.
Personality:
of Course, celebrate those that correspond to the desired position, but it’s important not to overdo it, not to look overly selfish.
Before sending a resume please carefully check it. Grammatical and punctuation mistakes or typographical errors can negate all your efforts. Again critically evaluate it: whether it a logic, whether it is easy resume is read, does not overloaded with unnecessary information or, on the contrary, it is possible to add something. You may draw the attention of the employer unusual design or custom wording in the text, but should not be too original, if you send your resume for a position that does not require a very creative and creative employees.
Note, read the summary usually takes no more than 3 minutes, and the art of writing resume is to make it as informative as possible and at the same time concise. Selectively approach the information for the summary, on the basis of the position for which you are applying, and be prepared to give evidence at the interview all the data. Don’t change your personality for an interview, where you may be asked to demonstrate in practice specified in the summary of the knowledge, abilities and skills. Learn impresentable improve its ability to present itself not only on paper. This is a difficult science, but practice makes perfect!
good luck to you!!!
