& gt Xiao Zhang is an undergraduate who graduated in July last year. Graduation means that unemployment has been fully reflected in him. Since graduation, he has been a frequent visitor to major job fairs and recruitment websites. I submitted hundreds of resumes, but I received few responses, and all of them were jobs I didn't like.
& gt Xiaobai has been working for four years, during which he changed a lot of jobs. Recently, he has to change jobs again. The reason is that every time I want to change my job, it becomes difficult to find a job. In the end, I often have to find a job casually because of the pressure of life.
There are countless such cases. In fact, many friends have fallen into the misunderstanding of writing resumes. Not only did I waste my precious job-hunting time and cost, but I also missed many good job opportunities!
Three misunderstandings in resume writing
[Myth 1: Vocabulary Description]
:: Lack of quantitative expression and originality
In the column of self-evaluation, you can often see the words "lively and cheerful, outgoing and generous, hardworking". The stereotyped style can easily make your resume fall into the ranks of "unannounced interview". The failure to highlight your personality in the text is the key to the most failure of this resume.
Quantifying your achievements is one of the most effective methods. A successful resume always takes "the value brought to the employer" as the clue, and can emphasize its own value by quantifying the achievements in past practice. For friends who have worked for many years, you can list your past achievements.
Resumes are not like literary creation. The richer the vocabulary, the more favorable it will be. Resume is more like a math problem, which requires rational logical thinking. Clear thinking, prominent focus and sufficient arguments are several characteristics of a good resume, and the arguments at this time need to be expressed quantitatively. Quantitative arguments are rich, and resumes are naturally different!
[Myth 2: Exaggeration]
* There is too much water for your description.
A beautiful resume doesn't mean that you praise yourself unrealistically. As a result, many people's resumes in reality are too watery and lose their integrity scores. Especially some student friends, because they have no work experience, make a fuss about their performance during college. The director of the student union became the vice chairman of the student union, and he has worked as a tutor twice, with rich social practice.
The true performance of resume reflects a person's sincere quality, which is often the basic requirement of recruiters for job seekers. Playing in the self-evaluation column can really add a lot of color to yourself, but don't exaggerate. In addition, even self-praise should be targeted, and irrelevant parts can be deleted.
[Myth 3: Indirect]
* Apply for different positions with the same resume.
It's a world-wide practice for job seekers to make resumes. However, this is also the root of application failure. The same resume can't correspond to different companies and different positions. Even for the same position, resumes must be treated differently if they are not from the same company.
Resumes need to be targeted, and the so-called targeted is like this. Different companies or positions need different resumes to deal with, each resume has its own characteristics, and there will be text for specific companies and positions.
Special reminder: clearly indicate the job-seeking unit and job position on the cover of job application materials and the upper right corner of the cover letter, and strengthen the pertinence of job application in this form.
The hidden rules of sending resumes by e-mail
1. Never send your resume as an attachment.
Because many times, it is equivalent to giving yourself a discount on the success rate of job hunting. After the recruitment information of a position is sent out, the mailbox will be filled with a large number of application emails, which is a great test for the patience of recruiters. When he tried to open your email, he found that he had to open the attachment to see his resume. You know, it will take a long time to open the attachment. It is very likely that during this time, the recruiter finally got impatient and "deleted" with a click of the mouse.
2. When filling in the information on the recruitment website, add a short special self-report in the name column.
If it is sent by the recruitment website system, it is suggested that job seekers should add a short self-report in the name column when filling in the recruitment materials, because it can only be a short word because of the limitation of characters.
3. Send a job-hunting email with a clear theme in a private mailbox.
Indeed, there are a large number of application letters every day, and the word "application" is everywhere. In order to meet the recruiter for the first time, I suggest you do something on the subject of the email to highlight your application advantages. If the applicant is a marketing manager, the other party requires that it is best to have working experience in 4A advertising company, and you happen to have it, then write "5 years of marketing management experience in 4A advertising company" in the subject of the email. Of course, this kind of mail is sent by private mailbox. If it is sent directly through the system on the recruitment website, the other party can only receive the unified word "apply for * * *". Therefore, it is suggested that candidates, if they like the other company very much, might as well send their resumes with their own email.
Of course, besides a well-written resume, we also need to understand that if you want to get a good job, you don't have enough professional capital and clear career planning, you don't have to talk about anything! If some job seekers' personality types don't match the positions they are applying for, even if their resumes are beautifully written and successful, they will only hinder their future career path. Therefore, before writing your resume, you must first determine your career orientation, which is the foundation of your resume's success!
