Doubt 1: Beautiful cover, do you need it?
Do you need a cover for your resume? Xiao Xu, who graduated from a university in Guangzhou, has not found the exact answer to this question. At the beginning, his first resume, like other students, downloaded the school logo and made a resume cover, which was very beautiful after color printing. However, in the process of applying for a job, Xiao Xu found that the cover of the resume didn't have much effect, and sometimes it was even a burden. Later, he simply gave up the cover.
Comments: Setting a cover for a resume is less and less recognized by HR. This kind of "well-intentioned" production in the eyes of job seekers is redundant in the eyes of HR, which wastes both HR time and paper. But things are not absolute. If you study design, a well-designed cover will often become the "trump card" of your resume.
Question 2: "One-page resume", is that enough?
Xiao Liang graduated from the School of Journalism, and his job hunting goal is the news media. Different from others, his resume is never a page, but a book. In addition to personal basic information, practical experience, honors and other routine items, I will also attach my own works published during my internship in the newspaper office. Because there are more than one hundred works, his resume is like the thickest book. Xiao Liang thinks that a thick resume can reflect his achievements and attitude towards things.
Comments: A HR view may be more representative: they all like a concise "one page" (1 page) resume, which is also the general view of recruiters in most well-known enterprises. But for some industries that pay attention to practical experience and express creativity, you can also attach your own works.
Question 3: salary, how much should I say?
One day in September this year, the reporter saw this scene in the southern talent market: an undergraduate from an architectural college in Wuhan was applying for a small real estate company in Zhaoqing. "What is your expected salary when you come to our company?" "Four thousand!" "You know, that's the number of middle-level staff in our company, and the number of newly recruited college students does not exceed 1700 yuan ..." Finally, HR sent the college student away with "Welcome to apply again next time".
Comments: Salary is a dilemma for college job seekers. If the answer is too high, HR may think that your requirements are too high; If the answer is too low, HR may also think that you are too "insignificant" to be qualified for this job. It is wise to know the salary level of this industry in advance.
Doubt 4: Does a resume cover the whole world?
Xiao Lai is a graduate student majoring in pharmacy. His career goal is to choose higher vocational teachers first, then college counselors, and finally scientific researchers in pharmaceutical companies. To this end, she designed three resumes. The resumes of teachers in higher vocational colleges highlight scientific research achievements, the resumes of college counselors highlight students' work experience, and the resumes of R&D personnel in pharmaceutical companies highlight experimental operations. She believes that three resumes are sent to different positions in order to be targeted.
Comments: HR experts pointed out that never use the same resume to post all positions, but pay attention to pertinence and make different resumes for each company and position. Focus on the information related to the company and position you are applying for in your resume, and weaken the content that the other party doesn't pay attention to, so it is easy to stand out.
Take a look at the following resume, which may give you some inspiration:
Cheng Yuhui, who graduated from a university majoring in journalism last year, got an employment notice from a well-known real estate company through his "plain code and real price" resume. Her resume puts a "clear price tag" on her abilities and shortcomings. At first glance it looks like a "price list". She smiled and said, "This move helped me work hard all the way and found a job that I am very satisfied with now!"
Change your resume to a quotation
Basic value: 65,438+0, 800 yuan —— As a graduate of a key university directly under the State, parents have spent a lot of money and feelings on training, and need sufficient material support to repay their families and provide basic expenses for their personal life, and to pay for the further development of their work skills.
Skill value: -300 yuan-I know that as a journalism major, I lack "one skill" and what I can do is irreplaceable, but after a period of tempering in a certain unit, I can give full play to it. In order to thank your company for this opportunity, I think 300 yuan's monthly salary should be reduced.
Personality value: 300 yuan-cheerful, lively and humorous personality, can mobilize the morale of a group to the maximum in a pleasant atmosphere and maintain high efficiency.
Experience value: -500 yuan is well aware of his lack of experience and has never independently completed a complete academic research or organized large-scale social activities, but as a newcomer with solid professional knowledge and high comprehensive quality, he can quickly complete the transition from a student to a staff member.
Compared with other graduates' resumes, Cheng Yuhui's resume is more like a quotation. She made a concrete and objective evaluation of her various qualities, totaling 10, giving positive or negative values respectively. In the end, she evaluated herself with a market value of 2000 yuan.
Cheng said happily: "Because of the novel format, almost all the companies that submit my resume will let me go for an interview."
Winning still requires real talent and learning.
Manager Wan of Cheng's department said, "Cheng's resume left us a good first impression." This is also in line with their requirements for marketing planning talents. However, Manager Wan said that her outstanding performance in the later written test and interview was the real reason for her successful application.
It is understood that there are many kinds of resumes for graduates now. Manager Wan said that good self-quality and excellent professional skills are the magic weapon for successful job hunting. Trying to apply for a job by fancy resume will only be self-defeating and not worth the candle.
First of all, of course, your major and your position.
Second, write down your qualifications.
The third is your views on the industry.
The fourth is what do you want to do?
Fifth, be modest, modest and not too arrogant.
