We start to look for a job?what to do if you want to get into a particular company? How to make so that you have noticed among hundreds of contestants?
Recently in the vacancy announcement, in addition to the stated requirements to the candidate, read the following: «If You send us a standard blunt summary, it will go in the trash unread».
In this case, the revenue will come non-standard, vivid summary. Based on personal experience with the staff, I can say that I saw a lot of non-standard summaries in the form of graphs, in the form of a portfolio, presentations, summaries, printed on a t-shirt candidate.
typically, this is true for creative professionals whose work involves imagination and creative approach to business. Such occupations may include, for example, copywriter, graphic designer, Illustrator, animator, specialist advertising. On the Internet, especially in social networks, we often see a picture or description custom summary, looking at which the employer will immediately understand that it is a creative, outside the box thinking man.
And here is a vivid example of how we need to do:
«Professional skills:
[scratching his head] I’m clever, devilishly handsome, have refined manners, good fences. The crown estates and capital I, alas, did not get, so I am also very hardworking. Well I drive a car. Skillfully drink the brandy. Filigree eat. And impeccably sleep. The voice of the blood speaks to me that I was born to rule over countries, to hug the most beautiful of women, drink fine wine and put to fire and sword the rebellious Nations. However the place at court as head of the IT Department also will fit, Yes. I close my eyes and see: throw on their mighty shoulders Bukhara Bathrobe and under the sound of the zurna, accompanied by whirling dervishes, Gulyamov, bodyguards, Skorokhodov and crazy interpreters of dreams are entrusted to my room, throwing in a bunch of candied fruit and patting his sides.
Experience:
Circling around the room, cheerfully laughing, enthusiastically singing and making the entire body a variety of fun, mundstock. Foul language used, I defy subjects in awe, and they are harder to work for the Glory of Empire. According to my heart I bring to myself and my clowns filling their mouth with halva. At balls hosted by the Palace, I easy movements, helpful, and squandering compliments court ladies. And, Yes. Definitely white Persian cat, which I absently stroking sending unruly into a pit of Scorpions.»
Creativity in fashion now. But the main thing is not to get involved. There is a certain kind of profession, which is contraindicated in this direction. For example, it would be strange to see a summary of the accountant, which describes creative moments in accounting, or a lawyer who dance defended the interests of the defendant.
now, imagine that your custom resume ready, it reflects all Your positive qualities and cleverly hide the negative.
To send a resume like this:
Who would not send a resume like this:
In any case, it is very important not to cross that fine line where creativity borders on stupidity. Even the brightest and most beautiful resume will look ridiculous if it’s written with grammatical errors. Even the most non-standard summary seems fresh, if all the information for your resume You produced, for example, in social networks, in the group of «Cool status».
If You are worried or not sure that we are able to create really interesting summary, I would advise you to seek professional help. But in this case, you need to think whether it makes sense to try myself in a company that expects employees of the permanent flight of fancy?
