If you want to succeed in job hunting, you must have a good resume. How long is your resume? What are the common mistakes in writing resumes? With little work experience, what can I write on my resume? Brother Cai will tell you one by one ~
1. You should know the hidden rules of resume screening.
How long does it take a recruiter to read a resume? 1-2 minutes!
They have to read hundreds of resumes a day, and they don't have much time to study your every word and sentence carefully. In this 1-2 minutes, they have decided whether to invite this person for an interview.
So your resume should highlight the key points and show the highlights.
2.99% of resumes will have errors.
Human resources departments and hiring managers receive piles of resumes every day. What resumes did they miss, skip or discard? They say this:
@paul (HR director of a Fortune 500 company): Lack of targeted resume.
Many people are holding the mentality of "seeking all jobs in the world with one resume". The resume made under the standard template is not targeted. Generally speaking, smart HR can understand at a glance, and naturally it can't enter our eyes.
@ Zhang (HR supervisor of a well-known domestic enterprise): Resume with insufficient information expression.
When describing their work experience, many people's resumes only list their work contents and pay attention to what they have done, but few people can tell how they did it. For example, a salesman who has worked for 2 years only writes a few simple words "engaged in real estate sales". Salespeople don't have to talk to numbers. How can the company understand your ability? It is the most important thing to sum up your own value from past work experience.
Describe your job in detail in order to attract HR.
@ Jingjing Jingjing (HR Director of a Fortune 500 company): Submit a resume that does not match the position and experience.
Enterprises recruit network engineers, graphic designers and job seekers also join in the fun. Naturally, it can't pass. Some people want to change careers through job hopping, but they can't clearly express their potential in their resumes. Enterprises are looking for talents who create value, not interns who have to learn to adapt slowly after joining the company.
@ Dong Zi Ge Zheng Two Cups (Lecturer in a human resources training center in Guangzhou): Resume with obviously confusing information.
Sentences are unreasonable, typos are repeated, expressions are confusing, and I don't know what to say. I once saw someone write such a self-evaluation: "I am a very emotional person, which is quite suitable for the position of career planner in your company." I don't know how you feel about me ... "It really makes me laugh and cry. Don't write anything unnecessary on your resume except experiences and information that are helpful for job hunting.
@ 京京京京 (an expert in human resource management in a university in Guangzhou): The resume is not suitable for photos.
These photos are very unsuitable for your resume: cute and funny Q-version headshots, posing for selfies, and "cheating" with too obvious retouching. A resume with good photos can get extra points, while an inappropriate photo will directly eliminate you.
3.HR teaches you how to write a resume skillfully.
The first part: Write the basic personal information clearly.
The second part: educational experience, clearly write the educational experience and training experience with the highest academic qualifications, so that HR can know at a glance what year you graduated, what major you have, how many years of work experience you have and what skills you have.
Have some work experience, how to describe your previous work?
Work content, please use nouns and verbs to describe your work content and list your achievements.
Focus! Add work summary: what exercise does this job give you; What skills, knowledge and abilities have been learned; What soft power has been improved, such as understanding an industry and learning to communicate with people.
When writing a summary, you can do some articles according to the post, requirements and company background, which is biased and increases the job matching.
Resume is a window for recruitment companies to know about job seekers, so the previous work content must be written well. Try not to use ambiguous words such as "assist" and "try", and write more specific content.
For example:
Don't use → "Do a good job in a fast-paced environment";
Instead, use → "I will register emergency patients around 120 every day";
Do not use → "excellent written expression and communication skills";
Instead, use → "wrote a technical terminology guide for 1 1000 users".
How can fresh graduates write resumes without work experience?
For fresh graduates with no work experience, we can start from two aspects: on-campus experience and holiday internship.
School experience, such as joining the school league, contributing to the school magazine, proofreading, etc., should be written clearly. The experience you choose is best related to the position you are applying for.
Social practice, such as internship in a certain unit, what team I worked in and what I learned. These must be written clearly, so that HR can know who you have been with, what you have learned and whether you have practical ability. However, when introducing what the team has done, especially before you have the ability to operate independently, it is best not to ignore the strength of the team and emphasize yourself blindly.
Plus other bonus skills, such as playing PS, playing musical instruments, drawing, where you have been, what books you like to read, what activities you have organized, where you have published articles, or how many articles you have written, etc. And be specific.
Knock on the blackboard! Don't say you love traveling. Is there anyone who doesn't like traveling? Don't say you love reading, because many people regard reading magazines as reading, and don't say you love writing. Three or five unwritten short sentences are nothing. Say specific examples!
How to write a resume if you don't have a high education?
Strictly speaking, you should write down your current highest education, and you can also explain your current study and training in the self-evaluation section.
Education only shows what education you have received and what learning ability you have, but personal comprehensive ability and the degree of matching with the post are the most critical factors. When choosing, HR will choose more suitable people, not people with higher education. Ability is more important than education! So in your resume, you need to reflect the reason why you applied for this position and what your advantages are.
How to write a resume when job-hopping is frequent?
Netizen "Mumuxue":
I often jump ship, and each job is only a few months, with gaps in the middle. In order to shorten the blank period, I removed some unimportant experiences and extended my previous working time from half a year to 1 year. Then the problem comes, the working hours are long enough, but the work performance is still only a little bit, which is naturally rejected by HR.
It is not advisable to lengthen working hours, fabricate positions and work achievements, and "water injection" in these resumes. If you defend yourself in the interview, you are shooting yourself in the foot. Telling the truth is better, and it is easier to be recognized by the interviewer.
If you change jobs frequently, the interviewer will think that you are an employee with unclear career direction and lack of stability.
When filling in your resume, you should choose outstanding work experience and achievements, such as taking on some core jobs, and make a key statement; Other short-term work experience should be as brief as possible, such as less than 3 months' work experience, which can be omitted from your resume.
Note: If you only have the resignation certificate from your last job, even if it is short, you should write it on your resume. Otherwise, the company will doubt your integrity when you hand in your resignation certificate.
4. The best time to send your resume
The sending time of resumes is also very particular. HR suggests that you send your resume at the following time points:
(1) Most emails are read within 1 hour. If it takes more than 4 hours, your mailbox may never be opened by the other party.
(2) Don't send your resume on weekends, it may be flooded by Monday;
(3) The best time to send resumes is: 9: 30 am to afternoon 1 1, and 2 pm to 3 pm.
(4) The reading rate of resumes sent at 5 pm (that is, the eve of work) is very low, because HR is summing up the work of the day.
