How to write a resume?

Whether you want to advance in your chosen field or you’re making a drastic career change, a resume is a job search necessity. It provides an overview of your experience and skills, and a great resume will help you get an interview for that job you really want. Spend the time to make your resume as good as it can be and you’re making a truly worthwhile investment.

Step 1: Before You Write Your Resume.

Before you begin constructing a resume, take the time to think about your experience and what type of job you’re looking for:

If you’re re-entering the workforce, you may pick a different format than someone who’s been working continuously.

A recent college graduate will focus more on educational background than an experienced worker.

If you’re changing careers, you may opt for a different format than someone who is remaining in his current field.

Take a look at some sample resumes online. Boston College, the Wall Street Journal, Vault.com and the University of Florida have some good examples. Also we advise you to do research in your industry, because:

The type of job you’re applying for will also influence the type of resume you write.

If there’s a style of resume often used in your desired field, consider using it yourself.

Look at sample resumes from other people in your industry. Is there a section or format they’re using? You might want to include it too!

Step 2: Use these Resume Writing Tips

Here are a few tips to keep in mind as you write or update your resume:

Be honest:

It is better to address any gaps in employment than try to hide them.

Lying on your resume may get you into an interview, but you still have to go through a background and references check to land the job.

If you state you can perform a task or operate a program you actually don’ know, your lie will be exposed.

Be professional:

If your email address is funny but unprofessional, it may turn off potential employers.

If necessary, create a new email address solely for resumes (and don’t forget to check it for responses!).

Be concise:

Write out everything you want to include on your resume. You can trim it down to one page later.

Use easy-to-read fonts and a clear design to make your resume more appealing.

Step 4: Choose a Resume Style

There are several types of resumes: chronological, functional, combination/combined and video.

You should think about your situation and create the best resume for your experience and desired job.

Most recruiters want your resume to show your career progression. Therefore chronological or combination resumes (resumes that list your work history in chronological order, starting with your most recent job) are the most common types.

If you have no work history or have worked multiple jobs over a short period of time, an unconventional format may show you in a better light.

Pick the type of resume that is best suited to you and your goals.

If you’re unsure what type that is, try writing your resume in two or more formats, then ask for feedback from friends or relatives. An objective eye may tell you which format is best for you!

Most resumes should fit on one page. However, if the information is truly important and necessary, two pages is acceptable.

In conclusion we want to wish you successful job hunting and good luck!

 

Как написать резюме?

Если вы хотите преуспеть в выбранной области или кардинально поменять карьеру, то резюме необходимо для поиска работы. В нем представлен обзор вашего опыта и навыков, а отличное резюме поможет вам пройти собеседование на ту работу, которую вы действительно хотите. Потратьте время на то, чтобы составить свое резюме как можно лучше, и вы сделаете действительно стоящие инвестиции.

Шаг 1. Прежде чем писать резюме.

Прежде чем приступить к составлению резюме, подумайте о своем опыте и о том, какую работу вы ищете:

A. Если вы снова попадаете в штат, вы можете выбрать другой формат, нежели тот, кто работал постоянно.

Б. Недавний выпускник колледжа больше сосредоточится на образовании, чем на опыте.

C. Если вы меняете профессию, вы можете выбрать другой формат, нежели тот, кто остается в своей текущей области.

Взгляните на несколько образцов резюме в Интернете. Бостонский колледж, Wall Street Journal, Vault.com и Университет Флориды приводят несколько хороших примеров. Также мы советуем вам провести исследование в вашей отрасли, потому что:

A. Тип работы, на которую вы претендуете, также будет влиять на тип написанного вами резюме.

Б. Если есть стиль резюме, который часто используется в желаемой области, подумайте о том, чтобы использовать его самостоятельно.

C. Посмотрите образцы резюме от других людей в вашей отрасли. Есть ли раздел или формат, который они используют? Возможно, вы тоже захотите включить его!

Шаг 2. Используйте эти советы по написанию резюме

Вот несколько советов, которые следует помнить при написании или обновлении резюме:

Будьте честны:

А. Лучше устранить любые пробелы в образовании, чем пытаться их скрыть.

Б. Неправда в своем резюме может привести вас на собеседование, но вам все равно придется пройти проверку биографических данных и рекомендаций, чтобы получить работу.

C. Если вы заявите, что можете выполнить задание или использовать программу, о которой вы на самом деле не знаете, ваша ложь будет разоблачена.

Будьте профессионалом:

A. Если ваш адрес электронной почты интересный, но непрофессиональный, это может отпугнуть потенциальных работодателей.

Б. При необходимости создайте новый адрес электронной почты исключительно для резюме (и не забудьте проверить его на наличие ответов!).

Будьте краткими:

A. Напишите все, что вы хотите включить в свое резюме. Вы можете сократить его до одной страницы позже.

Б. Используйте легко читаемые шрифты и понятный дизайн, чтобы ваше резюме было более привлекательным.

Шаг 4. Выберите стиль резюме

Существует несколько типов резюме: хронологическое, функциональное, комбинированное и видео.

Вы должны подумать о своей ситуации и составить лучшее резюме, соответствующее вашему опыту и желаемой работе.

Большинство рекрутеров хотят, чтобы ваше резюме демонстрировало ваш карьерный рост. Поэтому хронологические или комбинированные резюме (резюме, в которых история вашей работы перечислены в хронологическом порядке, начиная с вашей последней работы) являются наиболее распространенными типами.

Если у вас нет опыта работы или вы работали на нескольких работах в течение короткого периода времени, нетрадиционный формат может показать вас в лучшем свете.

Выберите тип резюме, наиболее подходящий вам и вашим целям.

Если вы не уверены, что это за тип, попробуйте написать свое резюме в двух или более форматах, а затем попросите отзывов у друзей или родственников. Объективный взгляд может сказать вам, какой формат лучше всего подходит для вас!

Большинство резюме должно умещаться на одной странице. Однако, если информация действительно важна и необходима, можно использовать две страницы.

В заключение хотим пожелать успехов в поиске работы и удачи!
