Resume regardless of high or low, not only age, seniority, education, status, contribution theory, as long as your personal characteristics are completely, fully, accurately and vividly conveyed, so that a person who doesn't know you or know you will unequivocally put you in the position that suits your major and you like best at the first time. This is the effect of an excellent resume.
The human resources department receives 300 ~ 1000 resumes every day. Facing the massive resumes day after day, it is not an easy task for experienced and familiar recruiters. In the three key nodes of job hunting: resume screening, interview and probation assessment, the probability of being shortlisted with a strange resume is the smallest and the most difficult level in job hunting. 5% ~ 10% of the total resumes received by HR can enter the written test and interview, and only resumes that are attractive enough and meet the position can be matched. Whether your resume is attractive or not depends on yourself, because the creator of your resume is the job seeker himself!
From my personal professional experience, a large number of resumes need to be improved in content, format and writing skills.
The standard of excellent resume is: the statement and self-evaluation are completely in line with the facts; At the same time, the artistic conception is higher than the fact, which fully shows its own value and gives readers a strong shock and deep impression.
First, the content is the soul of resume and the main point of recruitment.
Frequently asked questions include:
1. The focus is not prominent. It seems that I can do everything, but I can't see the professional knowledge. At present, the recruitment requirements of posts are becoming more and more professional and refined. All-round candidates who have been exposed to everything but are not proficient are only favored under certain conditions, such as private small enterprises, which have no big development plans. Find someone who knows something about finance, administration, personnel and sales, and do a lot of things alone to save costs. However, there is little chance that such a candidate will be seen by a large company with precise and professional positions.
Many people attribute the work of the whole department to their own work experience, which is not true at first glance.
For example, the resumes of employees in the finance department include cashier, cost, accounting, budget and final accounts, investment and financing. If you are an ordinary employee, you can't do all the work by yourself. If you are a department head, you don't usually do so much specific work. So when it comes to your position, what are your responsibilities? What's your specialty? I can't tell from my resume.
2. No personal characteristics, deja vu, no impression after reading it. Many resumes are unremarkable, and the harvest, accumulation, progress, contribution to the enterprise, the role played at the critical moment, and the difference from other competitors are not shown. Job seekers should think from the perspective of recruiters. Why should I choose this person instead of others? What is his' fit' with this position? What he can bring when he comes. Hundreds of people apply for a position, and your difference from others is the key to success. If the employer realizes that only you are the most suitable, you will succeed, provided that you see your characteristics and highlights, which should first be seen by recruiters on their resumes.
3. Time is discontinuous. Recruiters attach great importance to the continuity of work experience and don't like people whose time and related work are interrupted. For example, a professional woman who goes home full-time to take care of her children a few years after childbirth must have a process of readjustment before going to work; Or R&D engineers went abroad to study languages for several years, and then returned to their original jobs. These people are not as competitive as those who have been in this position for several years. Because of the interruption of work, their professional awareness and skills can't keep up with the development of the times, and it is inevitable that they will be aging and outdated.
A resume with a vague description in time may be caused by the job seeker's lack of rigor in thinking and doing things, or it may be because the parties are embarrassed to write clearly. For example, some people don't have a fixed job for a year or two, and they don't want to write it to the recruiter, and they dare not make a fake, so they have to write it in general.
The hiring manager is very concerned about whether the applicant's experience in recent years meets the job requirements. For example, to recruit a government relations manager, it is best for him to have customer resources and post experience such as the National Development and Reform Commission and the municipal government. People who have been engaged in this position in the last three years are definitely more suitable for this position than those who have been engaged in this position three years ago and have changed careers, and will make better contributions to this position in the future. The study and work experience on your resume should be written from near to far. The experience of three years ago can only be written as a bright spot, and the outdated experience with little effect at present is not worth mentioning.
When it comes to work background, the introduction of the company and its position in the industry can deepen readers' understanding and impression and better understand the owner of the resume. This part of the content is often ignored by job seekers.
Second, the format is the face of the resume, leaving readers with the first perceptual impression.
Common problems are: thousands of people fill in the blanks in the unified format provided by major recruitment websites, which is monotonous and lifeless. Readers are like eating the same pattern of food every day, and it is easy to feel tired.
In order to attract the attention of recruiters, you might as well create a template yourself, the more different the better, and show your personal characteristics concisely. Often headhunters are eager to meet me after seeing my resume, because my resume format is different, the wording is novel and accurate, and the narrative is complete and clear.
My resume format is as follows: personal brief information; Past company/position/time period; Detailed introduction of work in each company: including core and unique work content, performance, company background introduction and entry background; Personal characteristics: including work, personal character, lifestyle, etc. Personal career development goals. An overly simple resume is not sincere and serious enough. Tabular format is not recommended. This resume template contains only words and phrases. How can you vividly describe a stranger to countless recruiters?
An editor, whose resume is only over half a page. At first glance, the major he graduated did not match our job requirements, and his resume was filtered out by the department. But I took a fancy to some of his work background and invited an interview.
What's your major in Peking University? I asked him.
Chinese department.
Job seekers should think from the perspective of the recruiter, why should I choose this person instead of others, and where does he fit in with this position? What he can bring when he comes. Hundreds of people apply for a position, and your difference from others is the key to success.
Then why not put it on your resume?
I wrote my research direction.
I can't help telling this honest man that the Chinese Department of Peking University is a famous brand department, and it is suitable for a wide range of work. In the stage of resume screening, the hiring manager is interested in the basic personal qualities, and the famous schools have advantages, but your research direction is too narrow. You change your major to Chinese department, then expand your half-page resume into two pages, add the start and end time of your work, post content and process, and then describe your professional ability in detail. This revised resume will be very helpful to you. Otherwise, what you can express in a simple format now is too limited.
Oh, his eyes are glowing. Why didn't I meet you earlier? I have been looking for a job for half a year, and I think some jobs are quite suitable for me. Why didn't I even give an interview? It turns out that my resume was written wrong.
Third, good writing skills are the crowning touch of your resume.
Like the role of Chanel flawless powder, cover up the defects properly and help yourself seize the opportunity as much as possible.
1. Write your highlights on your resume. Highlights are not exactly equal to advantages, but are different from other people's characteristics and more suitable for their posts. The purpose is to show your sword and give yourself extra points. In addition, pay attention to the writing skills of some key nodes, such as: write the highest degree, if the junior college continues the undergraduate course, write the degree directly under the undergraduate course, not the junior college. Now, graduating from college is the bottom line for a good employer. If you write about a junior college, you will basically lose the interview opportunity. As long as there is an interview opportunity, there will be light in the dark. For another example, it's best to write your job position and major at the top of your resume, clearly point out the key points, and write that the R&D engineer of the famous central enterprise communication core network has applied for the project manager of the R&D department for three years, and the MBA of Guanghua School of Management of Peking University is now the head of the investment department of a famous enterprise in Hong Kong to apply for the position of the manager of the financing department.
2. According to the different job requirements of different candidates, write the corresponding resume version, not the same. Many people write the email address of the recruitment director of each company into the recipient column at the same time; Or change the sent resume to the recipient's address and forward it repeatedly. The recipient will see a lot in front of each line of text.
