It is precisely because of the importance of resume that the operation of water injection is also a tacit behavior in the eyes of many job seekers. An organization once conducted a survey and found that 34% of job seekers had filled their resumes with water. This behavior of job seekers is mainly based on their lack of confidence in their abilities, hoping to make themselves more "excellent" through "water injection".
Common resume water injection can be divided into three categories, one is deliberate exaggeration, the other is deliberate concealment, and the other is out of thin air. For example, (1) exaggerates personal ability \ position.
Obviously, he is only a participant in the project, but he just said that he is a leader; Obviously, he is just an ordinary officer of a society, but he says he is the president of the student union; Obviously, computer operation is only the level of typing and chatting, but he says he is proficient in Word \ Excel \ PPT.
(2) deliberately concealing key information. Recruitment and job hunting are two-way choices. Both sides have their own requirements and bottom lines, and once touched, they are likely to lose this opportunity. For example, concealing education, marriage, health status, work experience, etc. , and apply by deception.
(3) The content is pure fabrication. Obviously, the things you haven't done are not good at writing, and it is not easy to explain a work experience deliberately, but the achievements you haven't done are all on your own head.
Some people call "water injection" "optimization" in order to reassure themselves. Just like selfie PS, they don't even know who they are. In fact, for HR, many resumes will show flaws in the interview. Even if you get the job through the interview, once you find out later, you may still be fired, because it involves personal quality and integrity, which many employers can't tolerate.
Resume, as a tool for job hunting, is not to write yourself perfectly, but to highlight the knowledge, ability and quality related to the position you are applying for, foster strengths and avoid weaknesses, and show your own highlights and characteristics. Don't cheat on some hard requirements, or you will hit the gun and lose more than you gain.
