Job hunting starts with academic qualifications.
Many people may say that education is not important, but ability is the most important. Yes, I agree.
But the problem is that it is a stepping stone: the entrance to opportunity. I think the most in-depth explanation of this problem is the book Alien.
From the interviewer's point of view, he generally doesn't think that his 1 hour interview can fully see your ability, and the lasting accumulation factors: working years, last company and education may be more reliable, especially graduates.
Education, especially famous schools, will always have a halo, and we have to face this unfair reality.
I also want to express that if you don't have the advantages of a prestigious school, then you still have a chance to stay in a famous enterprise for several years. You don't need to be recognized unless you plan to start a business.
I once gave up everything and started my own business for three years. Later, I hit a funding bottleneck. After resigning and looking for a job again, I really realized the above problems. Although I think my project management level is very good, I can develop with five people alone. If our project is put in a general software company, it will take three times as many person-months, but others only look at my working years and education, and no one cares about my project.
How to write a resume?
Its fundamental starting point: what the interviewer thinks. Because most job seekers have no experience in screening resumes and interviewing others, it is difficult to put themselves in their shoes.
I'll just tell you the truth.
The interviewer usually decides whether it is worth reading carefully within two minutes; If this is passed, he will spend another 2-5 minutes to decide whether to invite this person for an interview. In other words, you must highlight the highlight of your resume: differentiation.
The first two minutes: working years, academic school, self-evaluation, etc.
The second two minutes: work experience, such as company, position (scan). Note, it's not the project experience, because this is too lengthy.
