So what does a good resume look like? According to your recent 10 years' experience in resume agency and hr manager recruitment, I think a good resume has the following characteristics:
1. Concise: I don't recommend a lengthy resume. For candidates with a little shallow work experience, there is actually nothing to write. In this case, a resume of about 2 pages is enough.
For executives with 10 working experience or even more than 20 years, a 2-4-page resume is actually enough. The recent experience can be written in detail, and the early experience can be left aside. I have met many executives who earn millions of dollars a year. I have only written two pages (one side) for more than 20 years of work experience. For such a well-known candidate in the industry, the resume is too detailed, but it is self-deprecating.
2. Clear organization: It is not recommended to write your resume too fancy. In fact, it is boring for HR to process dozens of resumes every day, so the time spent on a single resume is generally 1-2 minutes.
Therefore, a clear and concise resume can facilitate them to browse quickly. On the other hand, if they can't stand it, they are likely to be eliminated.
3. Focus: Focus on the job you are applying for and highlight the corresponding knowledge, skills and experience that the job seeker has mastered. Let HR make a choice as soon as he sees the resume.
If HR knows enough about the job requirements, if he can't make a judgment after reading a resume for 2-3 minutes, then the resume is likely to be shelved and then forgotten or passed.
4. Simple style: I don't recommend a resume with gorgeous style. Ordinary A4 paper, printed in black and white, in song style is enough. After all, most occupations are serious. In the case of resume aesthetic fatigue, even if it is specially designed, it is difficult to attract the attention of HR. On the contrary, such a resume will make HR feel that the candidate is vain. Unless the position you are applying for will have some special requirements for personality or aesthetics, such as related positions.
In short, a good resume can not only reflect the advantages of job seekers, but also enable employers to make a preliminary judgment quickly.
