Don't "package" your resume too much.
A good resume, but the words "intangible capital" are impressively printed on the cover; In order to attract people's attention, married people write "to be determined" ... Recently, I learned from the Shanghai Talent Service Center that some job seekers in Shanghai have a strong sense of packaging and frequently publish "smelly" resumes. Relevant experts pointed out that the effect of doing so may be counterproductive.
"I came all the way here not to look for a job, but to keep us packing." A staff member of the center said that Mr. Wang, who was looking for a job a few days ago, made him laugh and cry. Mr. Wang not only renamed a thick resume as "intangible capital", but even every column on his resume was titled "capital". Biology, geography and physics are all called material capital, biological capital and so on. As for the specific proficiency, Intangible Capital boasts that it is an "expert" level.
Coincidentally, in order to attract the attention of the employer, Ms. Lu, who is married, actually filled in the word "to be determined" in the column of whether she is married or not. Ms. Lu said: When looking for a job, the resume naturally "jumps". On another resume, a job seeker even changed his face photo and "grafted" it on a poker monster to show that his computer art skills are really accomplished.
According to many talents in Shanghai, apart from fresh graduates who are keen on creating all kinds of "strange" resumes, other job seekers have gradually begun to advocate some "demon" resumes, thinking that the more "eye-catching" resumes are, the greater their job search hopes will be.
In this regard, some intermediaries who often deal with recruiting units have different views. Yao, a teacher from China Shanghai Talent Market, said that it is difficult to find a job at present, and the resume should be broken down according to the major, which can save the time cost of the employer on the one hand and reflect the personal characteristics on the other, and can be tolerated as long as it is moderate.
Miss Shi said that from the feedback of many foreign companies, most personnel directors prefer a relatively simple resume, three or four sheets of paper, as long as personal information is clearly written, which is too flashy and ineffective.
[Resolution] Who "alienated" the resume?
The original function of resume is to briefly introduce your experience, specialties and requirements. It is only a tool for job hunting. However, the current resume is constantly being "alienated" and full of "strange smell". Not long ago, a female job seeker in a domestic province even posted a low-cut photo on her resume to attract attention with "hue"; Another freshman boy wrote an inscription for job hunting and even "growing a beard" ...
Who alienated the resume? There is a common sense in economics that where there is demand, there will be market. The almost distorted recruitment standards of individual units have caused the obsolescence of resumes to some extent. Not long ago, this newspaper reported that a 35-year-old female talent was rejected by the employer because she was single. Some units actually said no smoking, no drinking, no; You're not going to take a bath, are you? No, some foreign media have also reported that flirting with the boss has become a criterion for selecting talents.
The ultimate victims are job seekers and employers who really want talents. Therefore, in order to restore the true colors of resumes, they are just a means and a tool. Maxima can be used to find racecourses and Bole can be used to find good talents. Besides, it should not add too many additional functions.
