The following is a bit long about the mistakes that are easy to make in your resume. I hope it will help you:
The resumes of fresh graduates can not effectively highlight their competitiveness, and the resumes are a failure. Mainly in the following aspects:
Spatial length
Problem: Most resumes are too long. Less than 4% of resumes are limited to one page, and the rest are very thick, including awards and certificates. And are these heavy contents needed by enterprises?
The unique career counselor suggested that the resumes of recent graduates should be kept within one page and not more than two pages at most, mainly including personal information, study situation, main courses, mastered technology, social practice, campus activities, personality characteristics, English computing certificate, etc. It is enough to make a list of certificates and awards. You don't have to copy everything and put it at the back of your resume. As thick as this book, the recruiter is unwilling and has no time to read it.
The focus is not prominent.
Problem: Almost 100% resumes have no focus, which is the biggest problem of college students' resumes. You can't show your competitiveness in the limited space of your resume and attract the attention of corporate recruiters. On the contrary, some information unrelated to the application takes up most of your resume space.
Unique career counselor's suggestion: The employer is most concerned about the learning situation, learning ability, mastered technology, students' personality values and temperament of a fresh graduate. And the comprehensive ability, quality and potential reflected in the class campus activities and social practice work experience. Therefore, the resumes of college students should focus on these factors, and every internship should reflect every job undertaken in the internship and how it was completed, not just a word, when and what position was undertaken in what company.
Too many subjective descriptions
Problem: There are too many compliments, such as I am smart, lively, friendly and generous, fluent in spoken English, etc., and even take up a lot of space. 65,438+0,000% resumes describe themselves as excellent in all aspects, but they are all subjective descriptions, and those who screen resumes and recruiters will not believe these descriptions too much.
Unique career counselors suggest minimizing or even deleting subjective self-boasting descriptions. Because these descriptions can not only make recruiters sit up and take notice of you, but also make you suspected of bragging. Every candidate will say this and that in his resume, but how many can convince the interviewer? If you want the recruiter to know your ability, just list all the practices you have engaged in and the achievements you have made in practice. The recruiter can make his own judgment without describing it yourself. For example, it is better to say that you are fluent in spoken English than to say that you have won any prize in any oral contest. But never lie.
Format application
Problem: The resume format is similar, which is not only not creative, but also unable to highlight your own advantages.
Unique career counselors suggest that the design of resumes should be different from person to person, and don't stick to the format. Typesetting focuses on your performance and your competitiveness. For example, fresh graduates who have no work experience can generally start with academic achievements, academic qualifications, social practice and specialties, and give some examples to prove that they must not simply sum up what they have done like job seekers with rich work experience. And some resumes of advertising planning, copywriting, art design and other majors, it is best to attach some works that you are proud of after introducing yourself. I can't say that my resume should be simple. I'll just use a piece of paper. Especially for job seekers majoring in art design, it is best to design a unique resume to show their creativity and imagination.
Positive information and negative information
Problem: There is no favorable information on the resume, but there is too much negative information.
Unique career counselor's suggestion: favorable information must be written completely, and negative information should be avoided as much as possible. Information such as age, gender, contact information and expected working place can help job seekers find suitable jobs smoothly. Especially the contact number must be written. If you simply write your email address or dormitory number and can't be there often, you will miss many opportunities. On the other hand, some unfavorable factors should be avoided as far as possible, such as appearance is not your advantage or even disadvantage, then you don't need to post photos. Of course, if your image is very suitable for the position you are applying for, then photos become very beneficial information. For another example, if the position you want to apply for is not in your city, then your address is best not to appear, and if possible, it is best to change it to the phone number of the city where the position is applied for. There is also the cover problem. If you are not from a prestigious school, don't put the logo of your alma mater on the cover, which will only tell others that you are a fresh graduate, thus increasing the difficulty of finding a job. Others, such as salary requirements, blood type, marital status, etc. If the employer has no special requirements, there is no need to list them one by one.
In fact, it is not difficult to design a successful resume. It is important to know your job-hunting goals, your strengths and weaknesses, and proceed from your actual situation, and success is just around the corner.
