Cover letter for resume. Preparing a resume in Google

A person without higher education who is behind a short time worked his way up from an ordinary sales consultant to the head of the lending department at a bank. Once upon a time, it was a well-written resume that helped me build a dizzying career. I have not been employed for 9 years now, but I often have to deal with resumes, since now I myself act as an employer (IE).

There are many services that can help you create a resume. But such a resume will not always help you find a good one, high paying job. The trouble is that people write their resumes as carbon copies. On the one hand there is certain rules writing a resume, but on the other hand, it is important to have an individual handwriting.

Your resume needs to be written in such a way that you will be noticed among the general stream of competitors. In this article you will learn about the standard rules for writing a resume, I will also share with you my most killer tricks that will help you stand out from your competitors and show you typical mistakes that people make when writing a resume and subsequent contacts with a potential employer.

Summary(translated from French as “summary”) is a document that contains brief information(previous work experience, education, skills, contact information, etc.) about the applicant for employment. This information helps the employer choose a suitable candidate among the many applicants for a vacant position.

Why do you think a resume is the main tool when looking for a job? What do you usually write about on your resume?

Beginners at my seminars usually say that a resume is an attempt to declare themselves and their advantages. Then I ask them to list their advantages to what 90% people are given the following characteristics:

• responsibility;
• communication skills;
• diligence;
• creativity;
• perseverance, etc.

I'm sure you write something similar on your resume too.

Almost everyone lists the same benefits when drafting them. ATTENTION! These are all standard, cliched phrases that you need to get rid of if you want to stand out from your competitors.

But what and how to write about your advantages? Below I will show you some secret tricks, but first let me tell you one a little story:

He asked me to create an advertisement so that when people saw it, they would immediately want to buy everything.

I then listened to him with irony. And already in my office I imagined for a minute that if I knew how to write such advertisements, I would probably now live somewhere in the Maldives and enjoy life, having a huge amount of money in the bank.

But over the years I have rethought what I said. Maybe because I was young, I took it literally then. But later in life this phrase helped me a lot and continues to help me to this day.

Now, when I write a business proposal to someone, or create an advertisement, or even when I fill out my resume, I try to make it in such a way that when the employer looks at it, the employer will immediately want to hire me.

Still, I still have hope of learning how to write such advertisements.

The most important thing is to use this phrase to try to set yourself in the right mood. I noticed that when I sit down to fill out my resume and repeat this attitude to myself, my head begins to work differently. I end up with completely different phrases and sentences, the very essence of the summary changes somewhat, and the output is a completely different version than without this setting.

Conclusion: When you compose your resume, you need to write about your advantages not in standard, template phrases, but give arguments that, having studied them, your potential employer will immediately want to hire you.

Believe me, it works and this is being told to you by a person who has passed a rigorous selection process among dozens of candidates for positions such as the head of the lending department at a bank and the head of the sales department at a wholesale company.

Now try to answer, what, in your opinion, is the main task of a resume?

Here is what participants in one of my trainings answered this question:

A resume is a commercial proposal, the purpose of which is to sell you, or rather your knowledge, skills, and experience.

Inventory of your own advantages

In order to create a resume that would make an employer immediately want to hire you, you need to identify your key advantages. This can be done by answering next questions:

• How am I better than others?
• Why should I get this job?
• What do I do better than others?
• How am I different from my colleagues?
• What significant things have I done in my career?
• What are my life achievements?

If you answer these questions, then you will have something to fill out the most resume viewable area which you can learn about from the short video below:

Video: Most Viewed Resume Areas

Answering the questions above will help you make your resume more personal, rather than generic and generic like most job seekers. Always try to stand out among other candidates and focus on creating a sales resume, the key to which will be your advantages and achievements. With this, you can very gracefully switch the recruiter’s attention from your shortcomings to your strengths.

How to write the most important part of your resume

Below you will see a sample of my resume. This option worked great when I was looking for a job. I do not claim that this sample is the limit of perfection, that it is perfect solution, but I can say that this resume worked great and still works to this day.

Even now, when I am not employed, but developing my business, years later I receive calls from employers who have saved my resume and who invite me for interviews.

Important note: in the most important part of the resume, I do not write about what I have achieved in previous jobs. Here I write about significant things that have happened in my life outside of work, but that also relate to my professional skills:

Standard rules for writing a resume

So, how to write a resume standard rules, but using “selling” elements.

Step #1: Specify a name

Step #2: Position

We write what position we are applying for.

Step #3: Contact Information

Enter contact information. Indicate your phone number, or preferably two numbers, in case the first one is unavailable. As a second phone number, you can indicate the number of your wife, husband, or any other close relative or friend. Enter your email, these contact details are sufficient.

Step #4: The Best Part of Your Resume

The most delicious part of the resume that most often catches the eye of employers is the section that comes immediately after your contact information. This is usually the first half of the first page. And my main life achievements are posted there.

What people don’t put in there. Most often they write about the education received, which for me personally plays the last role, both for an applicant who has never had a higher education, but who managed to become a boss in a bank, and as for an employer who, when applying for a job, always looks not at the presence of certain crusts, but at real cases and facts.

So, if you look at my example, then immediately after contacts I have my main life achievements. This is the best part of the resume.

If you can interest the employer in this particular part, then the chances that he will look through your resume to the end will be much higher. And our goal is everyone available methods encourage him to look through your resume to the end, interest him so that he invites you for an interview.

Step #5: Previous Employment

We indicate previous places of work, and be sure to do so in reverse chronological order. That is, first of all, indicate your last place of work, then your penultimate one, and so on.

In this section you must indicate:

• place of work;
• from what date and until what date did you work there (you can specify the month and year);
• the name of your position;
• what were your responsibilities;
• what have you achieved and what made you stand out at this place of work.

Step #6: Education

After you have indicated your work experience, start adding information about your education. On job sites, the item about your education is sometimes earlier than your previous work experience. When you compose a resume in Word and plan to send it out yourself, then education should be placed higher if you graduated from some prestigious educational institution, or if your position is not considered without appropriate education.

Since at the time of employment I did not have a higher education, which was a disadvantage, I had to lower it lower in order to concentrate the attention of employers on more important points. However, if I were writing a resume now, I would still lower education below. In my opinion, work experience is much more important than the educational qualifications you receive.

Step #7: Additional education

Immediately after this, indicate the courses you have studied and training completed. Indicate everything that can be named additional education.

Step #8: Additional Skills

Please indicate which languages ​​you speak. If only one, then there is no need to write about it. Or, if you speak Russian and Tatar, then there is also no need to indicate this, unless you are employed in a company where everyone speaks Tatar.

Write how experienced a computer user you are. And also write what professional programs you own those that may be useful to you when doing your job.

if you have letters of recommendation from previous managers or there is an agreement that you can provide their contact information to provide your characteristics to an interested employer, then be sure to indicate this. And for the future, always try to have with your superiors a good relationship so that they can then “put in a good word for you.”

Step #10: Personal Qualities

Fill out the section with personal qualities and additional information. Here I am writing that I have my own car, category B license and I am ready to use it in my work. This is especially true if your work involves movement.

I provide additional information about myself, what I do in free time and what are my interests. I don’t smoke or drink, I consider these to be my advantages, so I definitely include them in my resume. The employer will know that you will not take smoking breaks, which means you will work more. He will understand that you will not come to work “with a hangover,” which means you will always be full of strength, of a sober mind and a solid memory.

I always write about studying professional literature. And I’m not writing this for the sake of words, I actually subscribe to specialized literature and spend a lot of time on business books, because I don’t want to sit still, but I want to grow professionally, constantly upgrade my knowledge and skills.

I definitely write about what sports I do. Pay attention to the line: “I get carried away team events sports...". The key word here is command. By this I emphasize that I can and love to work in a team. Thus, I killed two birds with one stone: And I talked about sports, once again emphasizing that I am a healthy, energetic person, and I used emphasis on the team, giving importance to my person.

My resume ends with duplicate contact information and a call to action. This way, we make the recruiter’s job easier; he won’t need to scroll to the top of your resume to find your phone number there. He's already in front of him and in capital letters we ask him to call right now!

This is another small detail that none of my competitors have that makes all the difference. It sets me apart from my competitors and increases my chances of getting a call from an employer.

How to get a recruiter to look at your resume

If you think that all recruiters carefully read all the resume options that come to them, then you are very mistaken.

Let's imagine one working day in the life of a real recruiter.

When a recruiter is given the task of finding a person for a vacancy, he has a specific list of tasks that is limited in time. It is very important. Surely, you are familiar with the lack of time, emergency situations, deadlines, and the like.

If a recruiter takes too long to find candidates, he will have problems. He can simply be punished for inaction. Moreover, this applies to both employees of recruitment agencies and employees of the personnel department, which are found in any large enterprise. Therefore, the recruiter’s task list looks something like this:

1. Create a vacancy announcement, including information about the vacancy, information about the company, requirements for the applicant, working conditions, etc.
2. Then you need to place an ad
3. After which, streams of resumes will begin to pour in at the coordinates indicated in the advertisement.
4. All these resumes need to be processed and unnecessary candidates weeded out.
5. Qualified candidates will need to be called and interviewed.
6. After that, from among those surveyed, some of the people will be filtered out again, and the other part will need to be called again and invited for an interview.
7. Then, interview all candidates and once again weed out unnecessary ones.
8. And send the remaining ones for an interview with the immediate manager of the department where the required employee is needed.

I remember well the case when I posted three vacancies on one of the job search sites. I posted job advertisements around 5:00 p.m. And the very next morning in my mailbox there was about 70(!) summary. Just imagine how much work needs to be done to study all the letters sent. By the evening of the same day, the number of resumes reached 200 pieces.

Therefore, your chances of remaining unnoticed are quite high. Your task is to increase the response rate from employers with the help of a well-written resume. By the way, I recommend that you watch the video master class Resume through the eyes of a recruiter. Has this ever happened to you when looking for a job, when there are vacancies, but there are practically no responses to your resume? Have you ever tried to look at your resume through the eyes of a recruiter?

Today you will have such an opportunity. I posted several advertisements for available vacancies on one of the job search sites. This was last night. And in the morning next day, I received about 70 incoming messages from candidates.

I did some research and identified 12 key mistakes that will reduce the effectiveness of your resume and significantly reduce your chances of being considered.

Right now, you have the opportunity to study these mistakes and learn a useful lesson that will help you avoid as many as 12 mistakes when submitting your resume for that coveted position.

Cases and reviews of readers' resumes

Readers regularly contact me with various questions about writing a resume. I try to help everyone, so please contact me. Below are the most interesting cases:

Case #1: What to write on your resume if you haven’t officially worked for a long time

Hello Roman, I liked your article about a resume that sells, one of these days I want to purchase training from you about “I want to find” Good work“, I need your help, please help. I’m writing a resume and I don’t know what to write in the resume in the “work experience” section, since I haven’t officially worked for the last 7 years, that is, before that I have experience, since during these 7 years I tried to work mainly on the Internet, where I mostly lost money and worked in network marketing, but in the end nothing worked out. Please help me write this gap as cleverly and concisely as possible. I plan to get a job as an engineer, either a manager or a motor transport engineer, I will look at the options. Best regards, Rustem. Thank you in advance.

Dear Rustem! I wouldn't take this as a 7 summer period your life as a “gap”. I am sure that during these 7 years you have acquired invaluable experience, which can and should be turned to your advantage.

Indicate that you have been an online entrepreneur for the past seven years. Next, highlight core competencies that you developed during this period. If you were involved in network marketing, then this contributed to the development of sales and communication skills. I myself was once involved in network marketing, I know firsthand that you have to leave your comfort zone and call different people, convince them, highlight and give some strong arguments in favor of this activity, work with objections, try to fulfill the sales plan, in general, think about your activity as a real business and take steps to develop it.

Don't be afraid to talk directly to your employer about this. What are most workers doing now? They want to do nothing and get paid for it, and shirk work. You can write in your resume that your entrepreneurial experience has helped you take a different look at the relationship between employer and employee and made you more responsible.

Alternatively, you can include in your resume or cover letter some suggestions from your most recent work that could help improve the profitability or efficiency of the business you are applying for.

Let’s say that over the past 9 years I’ve learned a lot of things on the Internet:

All this knowledge can be successfully applied in any business, since now you can’t live without the Internet.

You have indicated the specific positions for which you will apply. Here you need to start from the knowledge that you have gained over this seven-year period and how it can be applied in your industries. Maybe you, as a vehicle engineer, can offer some kind of online system for tracking vehicle traffic or for accounting for spare parts.

Perhaps your experience in network marketing will help improve the control room of the fleet in which you plan to work. Or you can build a new scheme for selling motor transport services. This, of course, does not apply to the position of an engineer. But maybe it's time for you to reconsider your career direction? Maybe it's time to change your field of activity?

Try to answer these questions and write down your proposals, and then put it all together in your resume (business proposal).

Roman, what can you answer the employer’s question when he asks: “Why exactly do you want to work for a company if you are engaged in business? After all, there more money and opportunities. Still 7 years great experience" What exactly needs to be answered to such a tricky question?

Tell it like it is. In your case, the truth is the best weapon. Tell me, I overestimated my strength, “bought” the promise of easy money, millions, but this is not there. More precisely, maybe there is, but I didn’t succeed. It took years to understand this.

Entrepreneurship is a slippery slope that is like a roller coaster. Today you can earn a lot, and tomorrow you can go into a serious minus. Not everyone can succeed in entrepreneurship. When I started, I thought it would be different. I don't regret my attempt, but now I realized that I want stability.

Conclusion

So, let's summarize and consolidate the knowledge gained:

• Play by the recruiters' rules;
• Spend a lot of time writing your resume and approach the writing process responsibly and seriously;
• Get yourself a decent email account (no need to use email like [email protected] and so on.);
• Make up cover letters;
• Do not use template phrases, try to tell about yourself and your advantages in simple and accessible words;
• Highlight key blocks a resume so that the employer will definitely pay attention to them;
• Keep your resume 1-2 pages long. Don't make your letters too long;
• After sending your resume, be sure to call the employer and find out whether your letter was received;
• Be sure to call the employer and find out the result of consideration of your candidacy.

I'm sure these simple tips will help you create a competent and interesting resume that will help you stand out among your competitors and increase your chances of successful employment.

P.S. By the way, if you want to receive feedback on your resume, compose it according to my instructions and send it to Email: . I will point out your mistakes and give advice on what you can improve.

Video for dessert: People's possibilities are limitless

Google needs specialists - that's a fact. And:

• It is a fact that the company has turnover (probably a little less than the market average).
• There are always open vacancies on the Google website (the company is constantly looking for the best specialists).
• Google regularly spends days in Russia open doors, where you can get freely.
• Sometimes Google holds “open” subbotniks, which you can also attend and chat about on any topic.
• Google holds numerous competitions and competitions among students, they have internships and various mentoring programs. You can start small.

In a word, they are looking for you and waiting for you.

On the Google website and on the official blog of Google in Russia, I found several notes on the topic “how to get into Google.” I will try to bring them together in this note.

Who does the company need?

We need talented, proactive and hardworking specialists. There are a number of other wishes for employees, but the above are the main ones.

Working hours at Google

The technology knowledge required is varied. This especially applies to newcomers, students and interns. For these groups of people, Google generously allows creative freedom.

Employment process

The employment process is complex and consists of 3 main steps:

• Submitting a resume. At this stage, the HR manager will evaluate you (or rather, your resume) and decide whether to call you and schedule your first interview.
• Telephone interview. Here they will evaluate your technical knowledge and professional experience and decide whether to call you for a face-to-face interview in the office.
• Interview in the office. Meeting with several engineers, conversations, tests, answers to questions. Then a collegial decision will be made (everyone must approve your candidacy).

If after the second interview there are still doubts, they may invite you to another one. One of my friends said that he had 3 interviews in Yandex. Therefore, here too you need to be patient.

How to write a resume

If you want to get into an open position, the speed of resume review will be higher. If you want a job matched to your skills, you'll probably have to wait.

Important aspects of a resume for Google

1. Please write your resume strictly in English.
2. Be sure to indicate your GPA on your diploma.
3. Indicate all certificates, victories in competitions, awards that are close to work or science (sports and military awards no need to list)
4. Tell us about your publications and scientific works
5. Focus on those projects that you were interested in very interesting(and not just those in which you were successful). Can you tell us about something that you have ever come up with and brought to life (for example, if you came up with a Soviet gas stove a timer that turns off the gas and brought to life, be sure to write about it)
6. Write about your hobby or your passions
7. Tell us what makes you stand out from the crowd and what makes you unique on this planet

And this is all in addition to a well-written resume. These 7 points are a task for the image maker (that is, for you!).

Nothing helps in work and career more than the awareness of your own greatness, confirmed by ironclad arguments, your confident behavior and impeccable appearance.

What else can help you find a job?

Decide why you like Google and why you want to work there.

I remember when I went for an interview at Megafon, they interviewed me there for a long time and persistently (there were 2 rounds) and after all the negotiations they agreed to hire me with the wording “suitable, but not enough motivation to work at Megafon.” Large companies they love to be loved perfectly and completely. It's in their blood.

Just for fun, to get a job at Megafon I was given a huge stack of documents (plus I had to do a fluorography and undergo a medical examination). They reasonably gave 2 weeks to fill it out. While I was filling out the passport numbers of my grandparents, another company made me an offer and I didn’t get into Megafon. Did not have time. There was really little motivation :)

Be knowledgeable about what products and services Google is currently creating. Study trends.

Subscribe to the official blog - Google in Russia. Happens often on the blog interesting information about conferences organized by the company, open days, community cleanups and other events. A personal meeting helps to collect valuable information about the company (and sometimes immediately agree on cooperation, even if it’s small).

You can see what Google offices look like in different countries.

You can also visit the Google Careers page, where you can find a lot of information about employment.

To create a beautiful, professional resume, you don't need to search the Internet for templates, manually format and select fonts - all this can be done in half the time using Google Docs.

The completely free online office is part of Google Drive - cloud file storage, and does not need to be downloaded to your computer, it works in the browser.

By writing your resume with it, you can focus entirely on your strengths instead of wasting time on formatting. The online office offers several ready-made templates for your resume, and it saves you a lot of time.

Sure, you can just open the WordPad that comes with Windows, format the text manually, and print, but why bother when Google Docs can do it automatically?

How to get started

Go to the "Template Gallery" section if you already have Google account. If not, you'll have to get one, but it won't take long, it's free, and you'll definitely need it in the future.

Different styles

Google Docs automatically creates a new document using the template and opens it. You fill out the form with the usual information that is usually included in a resume: personal data, education, work experience, etc.

By the way, while filling out you don’t have to worry about saving - as with all Google documents, all changes are saved automatically as you type.

If you need to add a cover letter to your resume, you can also find a template in the Template Gallery. Not only that, Google Docs offers resume and cover letter templates designed in uniform style. For example, below you see a resume and cover letter in the “Bold” style.

To make it easier to find templates specifically for resumes, mark “resumes and cover letters” in the menu and select the most suitable ones.

Download and print your resume

When yours is ready, you can print it or leave it in electronic form. If you need a paper version, you can print it directly in the editor by clicking “File” / “Print”. Don't use the browser's print function, or you'll end up printing an entire web page instead of a document.

If you want to send your resume by e-mail, you need to download it in DOCX or PDF format. Some companies have specific format requirements, but if they don't care, choose PDF.

When converting to a document, some formatting issues may arise. This is unlikely given how simple the resume template is, but it's still possible. Well, PDF looks the same on all computers, so you don’t have to worry about formatting problems.

To download a document in the selected format, click "File"/"Download As" and the desired format.

That's all - yours is ready, and if you need to send it to another company, you can easily find it in "My Drive", edit it and send it to the next employers.

If every applicant knew that he had only 3 minutes to “hook” the employer, then resumes would be compiled with higher quality, more responsibly and concisely. Your self-presentation should look so that the HR manager wants to meet with you and discuss the prospects for further cooperation.

What is a resume

Many candidates underestimate these career life sheets, but in vain, because the employer, without seeing you, can judge by your skills whether you are suitable for a particular job. A resume is a real document, so it must be compiled carefully, pedantically, and also include a number of mandatory points. An experienced recruiter will determine useful document in 2 minutes. How to write a resume so that you do not end up on the list of outsiders, but win the competition for the main prize - an in-person interview?

Rules for writing a resume

Start working with a document with your name, purpose, contact information, age and marital status. Clarify your key qualities, skills, work experience, education, achievements. Your intuition won’t tell you how to write a resume correctly—you need to follow certain business rules, the knowledge of which will also be assessed by the HR department or the head of the company.

What should a resume look like?

Visually, this document should look concise, strict, and business-like. Try not to experiment with fonts, text color, background, highlighting (underlining, bold letters, italics). The volume of self-presentation should not exceed 2 pages; ideally, the recruiter should have 1 sheet on his desk.

What to write about yourself

Visual perception document often stimulates the decision to call for an interview. Information needs to be structured correctly. How to write a resume and correctly fill out each of the blocks to make a favorable impression:

1. Last name, first name, patronymic, date of birth - according to the passport. Avoid nicknames, abbreviations, and false information.
2. Your goal is to apply for the position “...”.
3. “Contact” includes your current personal phone number, active email and address (if necessary).
4. Marital status must be indicated as a matter of fact. There are 3 possible options things to write on your resume: married, single, civil marriage.
5. Education – in chronological or functional order. It is advisable not to take into account seminars and “circles” that are of little significance for a given vacancy, so as not to visually overload the document and not waste the time of a recruiter. Focus on the main profession required by the vacancy.
6. Work experience is indicated in the order that will be of interest to a particular employer. If you worked as a chief accountant for 3 years, after which you got a job as a sales manager, and now you have decided to return to the financial sector, then more important experience will be located at the top. How to create a resume that is not overloaded with “extra” companies? The employer is interested in work experience over the last 10 years, maximum length of service in one company, and last place of employment. This paragraph should succinctly indicate the following data: time range, name of organization, position.
7. Achievements include functional information: “developed”, “trained”, “mastered”, “managed (number of people)”, “saved”, “developed”. This is how the recruiter will assess your potential usefulness, so it is important that he can quickly find your key skills in the document canvas.

Field of activity in a resume - what to write

The “Additional information” block is a section of your skills. Describe language skills, computer skills, additional level of knowledge in any area, personal qualities. What should you write about yourself in your resume to stand out among thousands of faceless self-presentations? A sample of a correctly drafted document is never replete with information about the applicant’s hobby, unless it is an addition to his professional skills. Think about how to present yourself correctly and interest the employer in your personality.

How to write a resume for a student

Immediately after graduating from university, your work experience is not diverse, and an adequate employer understands this. How to correctly write a resume so that it is short but meaningful? Students and graduates often omit the “Work Experience” block altogether, compensating for the “gap” with widespread information in the “Education” section. The knowledge acquired at conferences, international seminars, and courses is much more important for an organization than a month of working as a waiter in a cafe. You can also list your awards and honors and indicate the topic of the diploma.

How to fill out a resume if you are writing such a document for the first time? The easiest way is to use a sample from job search sites, but then you are unlikely to be able to claim individuality. The smart way out of the situation is to study the rules, find out more information about how to write a resume correctly, and follow it. If you are preparing a self-presentation for sending to a branch large company, and the key skill of an applicant for a vacancy is linguistic knowledge, it is better to prepare the document in 2 copies - in Russian and a foreign language.

Sample of a good resume for a job

Your checklist when drawing up a document will look like this:

• conciseness of presentation;
• rigor of design;
• lack of excesses in the form of a bright background, patterns, underlines;
• availability of all necessary blocks;
• competent, concise and meaningful presentation of the material.

For clarity, an example good resume:

1. What is a resume and what is it for?

If you still don’t quite understand what a resume is, I suggest giving it a definition:

Summary- This brief self-presentation in writing Your professional skills, achievements and personal qualities that you plan to successfully implement in your future job in order to receive compensation for them (for example, in the form of money or other type of compensation)

In the past, I myself had to write a resume when applying for a job. After all, without this, no employer will even know about you and your professional skills.

I remember when I first sat down to write my resume, it took me a lot of time to compose it correctly and format it according to all standards. And since I like to understand everything thoroughly, I studied the issue of correct spelling very deeply. To do this, I talked with professional specialists on personnel and studied a large number of articles on the topic.

Now I know how to write a resume correctly and will gladly share it with you.

I am sharing with you samples of my resumes, which I wrote for myself personally:

Thanks to my ability to write professional resumes, I never had any difficulty getting a job. Therefore my knowledge is reinforced practical experience and are not dry academic theory.

So what is the secret to writing a good resume? Read about it below.

2. How to write a resume correctly - 10 simple steps

Before we move on to the steps, I want you to remember 3 main rules for successful resume writing:

Rule #1. Write the truth, but not the whole truth

Emphasize your strengths and don't mention your weaknesses too much. You will be asked about them at the interview, be prepared for this.

Rule #2. Stick to a clear structure

The resume is written on 1-2 sheets, no more. Therefore, try to briefly and succinctly present everything in it. necessary information, even if there is a lot of it.

Take care of careful formatting of the resume text and its structured presentation. Because no one likes to read gobbledygook.

Rule #3. Be optimistic and cheerful

Positive people attract success. In your case, a new job.

So, let's move on to the structure of writing a resume.

Step 1. Resume Title

Here you must write the word “Resume” itself and indicate for whom it was compiled.

All this is written on one line.

For example: Resume of Ivanov Ivan Ivanovich

Then your potential employer will immediately understand who owns the resume. For example, you previously called a company you are interested in to find out if they still have this vacancy open. You were given a positive response and asked to send your resume.

At the end of the first step, your resume will look like this:

Step 2. Purpose of the resume

It is important to remember that your resume must have a purpose. It is correct to formulate it as follows (phrase):

The purpose of the resume is to apply for an accountant position

Since at this moment you are called that - an applicant, that is, a person job seeker, potentially claiming it.

At the end of the second step, your resume will look like this:

Step 3. Applicant and his data

In this paragraph you must write the following:

• date of birth;
• address;
• contact number;
• e-mail;
• Family status.

At the end of step three, your resume should look like this:

Step 4. Education

If you have several entities, then write them in order.

For example:

Moscow State University, 2005-2010,

Speciality: accountant (bachelor)

Moscow State University, 2007-2013,

Speciality: translator in the field of professional communication (bachelor's degree)

At this stage, your resume should look like this:

Step 5. Work experience

Please note that the “work experience” column is written in the resume starting from your most recent place of work, if it is not the only one, and begins from the period spent in this position.

For example:

Job title: chief accountant's assistant;

Job title: accountant

Now we have already written half of the resume, it should look like this:

Step 6. Job Responsibilities

This item in the resume is not always required if the vacancy for which you are applying is quite common, and you held a similar position at your previous place of work.

Sometimes this point can be included in the previous one by writing your own job responsibilities immediately after the post.

Step 7. Achievements at previous jobs

The “Achievements” item is one of the most important in a resume! It is much more important than education and even work experience.

Your potential employer wants to know what exactly they will pay you for wages. Therefore, it is very important to mention when writing a resume all significant achievements at previous jobs. At the same time, please note that it is correct to write in words that are so-called “markers” for personnel service employees reviewing your resume.

For example, the correct way to write:

• increased sales volumes by 30 percent in 6 months;
• developed and implemented new technology into production;
• reduced equipment maintenance costs by 40%.

It is incorrect to write:

• worked to increase sales;
• took part in a project to create a new technology;
• reduced equipment costs.

As you can see, it is also important to write specific numbers, since they very clearly reflect the essence of your achievements.

Now your resume looks something like this:

Step 8: Additional Information

Here you need to describe your strengths, professional knowledge and skills that will directly help you better and more efficiently perform the tasks assigned to you at your new place of work.

Usually the following is written here:

1. Proficiency in computers and special programs. This is relevant for office workers and employees whose direct work connected to PC. For example, for designers, accountants, programmers, office managers.
2. Knowledge of foreign languages. If your future work involves reading, translating or communicating in a foreign language and you speak it to a certain extent, be sure to write about it. For example: English spoken.
3. Availability of a car and driving skills. If your work involves business travel and you often have to drive a car, for example, while working as a sales representative, then you should indicate the presence of your car, as well as the category of driver’s license and experience.

Thus, in additional information along with computer skills and foreign language write: you have a personal car, category B, 5 years of experience.

Step 9. Personal qualities

There is no need to describe too many qualities here, especially if they do not apply to you. future work. You may be a kind and sympathetic person who loves children and respects your friends, but a potential employer will not be interested in reading about your “heartiness” and rich inner world.

For example, if you are applying for the position of an accountant, then it would be good to write here: composure, attentiveness, punctuality, efficiency, mathematical mind, ability to analyze.

If you are applying for a more creative profession, say, a designer or creator, then you should indicate here: a developed creative imagination, a sense of style, an unconventional view of a problem, healthy perfectionism.

It will be very cool if at the end of your resume you mention your full name. and positions of your former managers, and also indicate their contact numbers so that your potential employer or his representative can verify your professionalism by receiving feedback about you from your former immediate managers.

Even if your potential employer does not call your previous managers, the very fact of having contacts for recommendations will significantly increase his trust in you.

At the very end of your resume, you must indicate when you are ready to start work, and here you can also indicate your desired salary level.
