Как составить резюме

Войдите на сайт hh.ru. Справа вы увидите окно входа — кликните по слову «Регистрация» над иконками социальных сетей.

После клика по слову «Регистрация» вам будет предложено два варианта регистрации: «Для соискателей» и «Для работодателей». Выберите пункт «Для соискателей».

После клика по словосочетанию «Для соискателей» откроется форма регистрации. Введите ваши имя, фамилию и e-mail или телефон. Нажмите кнопку «Зарегистрироваться».

Неправильно: [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected].
Правильно: [email protected].

После успешной регистрации на hh.ru на вашу почту придет подтверждающее письмо. Затем вы сможете создать резюме, ответив на вопросы анкеты. Кроме того, у вас есть возможность загрузить готовое резюме с компьютера или заказать его у наших экспертов.

После заполнения блока «Основная информация» переходите к блоку «Желаемая работа».

Если у вас есть опыт работы, расскажите о нем работодателю. Не забудьте указать желаемую должность, зарплату и специализации.

Опыт указывайте в обратном хронологическом порядке, начиная с самого последнего места работы. Не надо описывать много мест работы. Идеально — 3-4 самых значимых для будущей работы вашей мечты. Например:

Июнь 2010 — март 2014,
ООО «Помидорка» (плодоовощная база)
Должность: заместитель главного бухгалтера

Октябрь 2007 — декабрь 2009,
ООО «Рассвет» (продуктовый магазин)
Должность: бухгалтер

Если у вас еще нет опыта работы, объясните, почему его нет, выбрав одну из предложенных причин, либо напишите свой вариант ответа.

Важно! Если у вас отсутствует опыт, по умолчанию вам будет предложена должность «Начинающий специалист». При этом рекомендуем вам заменить ее на название должности, на которую вы хотите трудоустроиться, например: младший инженер, стажер отдела маркетинга, помощник бухгалтера и пр.

Что можно написать в резюме, если опыт отсутствует?
• Все проектные / курсовые / дипломные работы.
• Волонтерская деятельность.
• Организаторская деятельность.
• Стажировки / практики и т.д.

Неправильно:
• работал над увеличением продаж;
• принимал участие в проекте создания новой технологии;
• сокращал затраты на оборудование.

Правильно:
• увеличил объемы продаж на 30% за 6 месяцев;
• разработал и внедрил новую технологию в производство;

• сократил затраты на содержание оборудования на 40%.

Расскажите работодателю про ваше образование: укажите уровень образования и уточните детали. Затем выберите языки, которые вы знаете. По умолчанию в анкете уже стоит родной русский язык, но вы можете изменить его, выбрав другой, и добавить дополнительные языки.

В блоке «Дополнительно» вы можете указать детали, касающиеся вопросов переезда, разрешения на работу, графика работы, ближайшей станции метро и т.д. Некоторые ответы в пункте «Дополнительно» уже стоят по умолчанию. Вы можете изменить их, выбрав подходящие.

После заполнения анкеты для резюме вам будет предложено сохранить результаты и опубликовать резюме на hh.ru. Как только вы нажмете кнопку «Сохранить и опубликовать», ваше резюме будет сохранено и опубликовано на hh.ru.

Важно! Перед тем, как отправить отклик работодателю, убедитесь, что резюме заполнено аккуратно, и в нем нет орфографических ошибок.

После того, как ваше резюме будет сохранено и опубликовано, вы сможете найти его разделе «Мои резюме». В этом же разделе вы сможете добавить к резюме фото.

Важно! На фотографии для резюме вы должны выглядеть так, как если бы пришли на собеседование. Оптимально размещать фотографию в деловой одежде, выполненную профессиональным фотографом.

Удачи в поиске работы!

как составить и заставить его работать

Те, кто работает в сфере продаж, знают, как важно подготовить хорошее коммерческое предложение потенциальному клиенту. Резюме — такое же предложение для работодателей: если в нем в нем есть информация, которую готова «купить» компания, вы получите приглашение на собеседование.

В резюме есть три продающих части.

Работа в компании, о которой никто ничего не знает, отличается от опыта работы на известный бренд. Бренды — это не только крупные федеральные и транснациональные корпорации: на локальных рынках есть свои игроки, ключевые для каждого региона.

Работа на известное имя может придать дополнительный вес в глазах работодателя, ведь о компетентности кандидата судят, в том числе, и по развитию бизнес-процессов на его предыдущей работе и репутации этой компании на рынке.

Имя компании важно в дух ситуациях.

1. Работодатель покупает экспертизу.

Например, компания хочет внедрить категорийный менеджмент. Для этой цели она может привлечь специалиста с большим опытом управления категорией товаров для постановки этого бизнес-процесса внутри. В этом случае преимущество кандидата — опыт категорийного менеджмента внутри больших розничных сетей.

2. Работодатель ищет «своего».
В FMCG-компаниях для служб продаж есть одинаковые стандарты работы: шаги визита, технологии отбора, оценки, развития и обучения сотрудников. Нанимая кандидата из схожей системы, работодатель сможет сократить временные затраты на процесс адаптации новичка: это дополнительный плюс в выборе.

Иногда опыт работы на известный бренд, наоборот, становится минусом. Если потенциальный работодатель не может похвастаться выстроенными процессами внутри компании, будущему сотруднику придется многое делать самому, а не делегировать задачи профильным подразделениям. Для человека из большой корпорации это может быть стрессом. В этом случае при трудоустройстве будут смотреть на достижения и результаты, а не известность бренда. Также в корпорациях реже встречаются люди с предпринимательским складом ума, а на некоторые позиции в небольших компаниях ищут именно таких кандидатов.

На hh.ru общую экспертизу пишут в блоке «Обо мне». Здесь нужны четкие и веские доказательства компетентности:

Опыт работы в сфере логистики более 10 лет.
Опыт разработки и внедрения обучающих программ.
Знание законодательства в сфере бухгалтерского и налогового учета.
Знание принципов работы с федеральными и локальными сетями.
Умение работать в команде.
Развитые аналитические навыки.

Для того, чтобы грамотно описать экспертизу, необходимо выделить ваши сильные профессиональные стороны, учитывая потребности работодателя. Какие знания, умения, навыки и опыт он хочет видеть у идеального кандидата? Убедите его, что полностью соответствуете этому портрету.

Часто слышу от кандидатов фразу: «У меня нет никаких достижений». Это не так: у каждого сотрудника на любом рабочем месте есть конкретные результаты. О них надо просто уметь рассказать.

Разработал и реализовал проект.
Выполнил объем продаж на 120% и стал лучшим сотрудником отдела.
Восстановил бухгалтерский учет.

Чтобы легко вспомнить, каких результатов вы достигли, например, 7 лет назад, их лучше постоянно записывать — сразу в резюме на сайте, или хранить отдельно. Это может быть обычный документ с основными достижениями, желательно с цифровым их выражением. Такая информация пригодится при коррекции резюме в будущем.

Что же такое достижения? Достижения — ваш личный вклад в бизнес компании.Вы что-то предложили, ваше предложение было реализовано и дало компании дополнительную прибыль или помогло снизить затраты — экономические, временные и так далее. Вы развили новое направление работы. Вы открыли филиал и с нуля наладили его работу.

Иногда мы не считаем это достижениями, занося эту информацию в блок «Обязанности». Но достижения — это то, что мы делаем не каждый день. Достижения требуют он нас большей вовлеченности и больших трудозатрат. Делая на них акцент, мы презентуем себя как сотрудника, который готов к большей производительности.

На основе этих продающих блоков — опыта, экспертизы и достижений — можно подготовить грамотное коммерческое предложение будущему работодателю. Но если составить резюме так, чтобы вас хотелось «купить», не получается, обратитесь за помощью к экспертам сервиса «Готовое резюме».

Профессиональный HR-менеджер задаст правильные вопросы и выявит недостающую информацию: с вашей помощью он создаст резюме, которое выделит вас среди других кандидатов на рынке труда.

Сделайте свое резюме «продающим», и удачи в поиске!

Составляем резюме: наши советы соискателям

В этой статье мы собрали главные советы по составлению идеального резюме. Для простоты мы расположили материал по разделам, которые ждут вас при заполнении формы резюме на hh.ru.

Фотография в резюме всегда будет плюсом, даже если должность не предполагает общения с людьми. Фото сделает резюме персонализированным: ее легче заметить, а отклик с фото сложнее пропустить или удалить. Но выбирать портрет для резюме нужно критически: неудачное фото может все испортить. Лучше всего подойдет профессиональное портретное фото, деловое и нейтральное.

В разделе контакты обратите внимание на почтовый ящик — он должен соответствовать профессиональному статусу. Адрес [email protected] подчеркнет неделовой подход к работе. А вот [email protected] — уже лучше. Вообще есть целый ряд мелочей, которые способны испортить впечатление о резюме. Подробнее о них — здесь.

Некоторые соискатели указывают в резюме свой домашний адрес вплоть до конкретной квартиры. Достаточно указать город или ближайшее метро, например, «Мытищи» или «село Мансурово в Курской области».

Указывать желаемую зарплату в резюме необязательно, но, если вы это сделаете, работодатели не придут к вам с неуместными предложениями. Универсальный совет: написать сумму на 15–20% большую, чем та, которую вы зарабатываете сейчас. Это даст возможность торговаться без ущерба для собственных интересов. Подробнее о том, как определить желаемый доход, мы рассказывали в одной из статей.

Сверяйте свои ожидания со средней зарплатой по рынку: посмотрите на вакансии, на статистику по региону и профессиональной области. Завышенный на 40% и более оклад однозначно отпугнет рекрутера. Посмотрите, сколько предлагают в вакансиях вашего региона по вашей специальности и с вашим набором навыков.

Исключение — резюме топ-менеджеров. Зарплаты руководителей рассчитываются в разных компаниях по-разному, поэтому конкретные ожидания могут отпугнуть работодателей.

Если вы не начинающий специалист, то опыт — главная часть резюме. Подойдите к этому разделу с особой тщательностью.

1. Опыт должен выглядеть цельным, то есть без длительных перерывов в карьере. Если перерывы были, то они должны иметь объяснения: декретный отпуск, занятие бизнесом, фриланс и так далее. Подробнее о том, как писать о пробелах в опыте, мы рассказывали этой статье.
2. Если вы меняете место работы чаще раза в год, работодателя это насторожит. Вас повысили — напишите об этом в одном блоке.
3. Уделите внимание последним трем годам работы, это интересует работодателей в первую очередь. О начальных этапах карьеры и о том, что было больше 10 лет назад, можно рассказать совсем кратко.
4. Если компания неизвестна на рынке, укажите ее род деятельности. Не просто ООО «Ромашка», а «Черноморское отделение арбатовской конторы по заготовке ромашек». Деятельность компании можно кратко описать в скобках или в блоке обязанностей.
5. В названии резюме и заголовках пишите общепринятые на рынке названия должностей, не обязательно копировать то, что написано в трудовой книжке — главное суть. Например, «коммерческий директор» лучше, чем туманное «руководитель направления». «Руководитель проекта» выглядит универсальнее, чем «управляющий директор бизнес-единицы». Такое резюме работодатели быстрее найдут через поиск.
6. Никогда не копируйте список обязанностей из должностных инструкций. Выделите наиболее важные и запишите понятным языком, без канцеляризмов. Например, «оптимизация бизнес-процессов» вместо «реализация проектной деятельности по оптимизации бизнес-процессов». Пяти-десяти самых ключевых задач будет достаточно.
7. Помимо рабочих обязанностей, обязательно укажите ваши конкретные достижения и результаты деятельности (например, «совместно с ИТ-отделом разработал корпоративные стандарты контроля бизнес-процессов»).

Избегайте общих фраз вроде «был самым трудолюбивым работником отдела» — это мнение, которое невозможно проверить, поэтому оно не интересно работодателю. А вот «стал лучшим сотрудником отдела по итогам года» — полезная строчка.

Иногда соискатели описывают работу в той или иной компании, будто пишут главу из собственной биографии: «Здесь я начинал карьеру с низших должностей, усердно добиваясь повышения» или «При беглом знакомстве можно подумать, что работа давалась мне легко, но на самом деле было ровно наоборот». Эти примеры — эталон того, как не надо описывать опыт. Резюме сработало, если работодатель за несколько секунд разобрался в опыте и понял, что этот кандидат стоит более внимательного изучения. А продемонстрировать энтузиазм можно в сопроводительном письме.

Все указанные в резюме образовательные курсы должны относиться к профессиональной деятельности. Лучше упустить что-то, чем добавлять сомнительные сертификаты — например, о курсах по массажу, — если в работе эти знания не нужны.

О тернистом пути наверх всегда лучше рассказать на собеседовании. Поэтому можно опустить учебу в техникуме или ПТУ, если есть диплом о высшем образовании в той же сфере.

Многие соискатели полностью игнорируют этот раздел, а зря: часто именно сюда смотрит рекрутер после знакомства с опытом и образованием кандидата. Ключевые навыки — это специфические знания и умения, относящиеся непосредственно к рабочим процессам. Для юристов это могут быть «Арбитражные суды» и «Корпоративное право», для менеджера по логистике «Работа с таможенными органами» и «Инкотермс», для финансиста — «Статистический анализ» и «Бюджетирование», и так далее.

Система hh.ru сама подсказывает название того или иного навыка, предлагая наиболее короткий и унифицированный вариант — по возможности выбирайте именно его.

Избегайте очевидных вещей: не нужно писать, что вы знаете Windows, Internet Explorer и пользуетесь электронной почтой.

Часто соискатели путают навыки с личностными качествами. Так в навыках оказываются «Ответственность» или «Пунктуальность». Советуем написать об этих качествах в разделе «Обо мне» и избегать банальностей. Вместо «Ответственности» и «Пунктуальности» напишите «Добросовестно отношусь к выполнению задач» и «Всегда укладываюсь в обещанные сроки». Суть от этого не поменяется, но формулировка запомнится.

В некоторых случаях можно указать личностные качества, которые не относятся напрямую к профессии — это может быть хорошая физическая форма или спортивные достижения («КМС по лыжным гонкам»). Все то же самое относится и к достижениям в интеллектуальной сфере. Если вы чемпион города по шахматам или выиграли олимпиаду по программированию — это интересно. Если просто увлекаетесь чтением, то нет. Добавляйте только то, что поможет получить работу.

А вот хобби в большинстве случаев лучше совсем не указывать. Рекрутеру оно не интересно, а экзотические занятия (вроде эзотерики и даже йоги) и вовсе могут отпугнуть.

Итоговый текст резюме должен представлять собой выжимку, из которой убрано все, что в принципе можно убрать без потери смысла: вводные слова, эпитеты, причастные и деепричастные обороты, лишние отглагольные прилагательные и существительные.

Плохо: Занимался организацией проведения инвентаризаций в принадлежащих компании подразделениях. Осуществлял деятельность по организации тендеров, в частности, подготовку обширного пакета документов по этому вопросу.
Лучше: Проведение инвентаризаций в подразделениях компании. Подготовка пакета документов для проведения тендеров.

Чем короче и проще предложения, тем лучше.

Вставляйте в свое резюме слова-маркеры, по которым рекрутер сможет его отыскать через поиск. Например, если вы аудитор и работаете с оффшорными компаниями, то в вашем резюме обязательно должно встречаться слово «оффшоры».

Подумайте над тем, какие ключевые слова относятся к вашей профессии, представив, какие термины рекрутер будет использовать при поиске резюме. Используйте информацию из интересных вам вакансий.

В системе hh.ru знакомство рекрутера с вами всегда начинается с сопроводительного письма. Обычно оно начинается с приветственной фразы: «Здравствуйте! Меня зовут Кондратий Степанов и меня заинтересовала ваша вакансия городского посадника».

В новом абзаце кратко опишите свои достижения и основные навыки («руководил отделом», «участвовал в проектах» и так далее). Этот абзац не должен быть длиннее трех-четырех предложений.

Третий абзац — ключ к сердцу рекрутера. Напишите в нем, почему вы хотите работать в компании и почему вы считаете свою кандидатуру подходящей. Старайтесь избегать банальных фраз вроде «работу в вашей компании считаю возможностью для дальнейшего развития» — такие фразы заставят рекрутера подозревать, что вы копируете одно и то же сопроводительное письмо для разных вакансий.

Постарайтесь разыскать в интернете информацию о компании и указать факт знакомства с ней уже в сопроводительном письме. Хороший пример: «Меня особенно заинтересовали ваши проекты в телекоме: я 4 года работаю в b2b продажах и постоянно пересекаюсь с такими клиентами».

Заканчивать резюме принято фразой, подтверждающей вашу готовность подъехать на собеседование: «Благодарю за внимание и буду рад встретиться, чтобы ответить на ваши вопросы!».

Когда работа закончена, советуем два-три раза внимательно пройтись по тексту, исправляя ошибки и редактируя не слишком удачные фразы. Опечатки в заголовках, названиях компаний и должностей особенно насторожат работодателя.

Если хотите показать резюме кому-нибудь еще, выбирайте человека с опытом работы рекрутером — в ином случае гарантированно получите ворох ненужных советов. Если рассматриваете несколько разных должностей — например, «менеджер по продажам» и «руководитель отдела продаж», — составьте два разных резюме.

Помните: у каждой профессии есть свои особенности. Если от юристов ждут идеального резюме без единой ошибки, то, например, бухгалтерам важнее указывать конкретные счета и версии 1С, с которыми они работали. Различия между «субкультурами» разных профессий не позволяют сделать единственно верную инструкцию для всех. Мы собрали только общие советы, которые относятся ко всем соискателям.

Успехов в поиске работы!

Не уверены в формулировках?

Эксперты «Готового резюме» составят резюме за вас

Как составить резюме с нуля

Просто и понятно о том, как составить резюме, которое привлечёт работодателей — самая полная инструкция.

Составить хорошее резюме с первого раза сложно, но мы знаем как.

Должность

Или название резюме. Здесь нужно написать самое распространённое название желаемой должности. Например: менеджер по продажам, водитель, учитель английского языка, PHP-программист.

В названии резюме не нужно указывать специфику и уровень владения профессией. Например: менеджер по продажам стройматериалов, начинающий Java-программист, бухгалтер на удаленную работу.

В графе “Должность” нельзя указывать несколько профессий сразу. Например: Водитель\ Плиточник\ Логист.

Если вы планируете искать работу по разным специальностям — для каждой придётся составить отдельное резюме с соответствующими названием и навыками.

Образование

В резюме лучше указывать только профильное профессиональное образование — вузы и сузы, сертификаты и курсы, которые напрямую относятся к работе.

Данные о среднем образовании, музыкальной школе и прочем указывать не обязательно — это бесполезная для работодателя и утяжеляющая резюме информация.

Опыт

Важно помнить — перечисляя предыдущие места работы, рассказывайте только о релевантном опыте.

Например, при поиске работы журналистом: можно — писать об опыте в газетах, журналах, о копирайтинге на удалёнке, опыте работы pr- и smm-специалистом, и другой деятельности в близких сферах. Нельзя — упоминать об опыте работы администратором фитнес центра, продавцом-консультантом парфюмерии и другом трудовом стаже, не связанном с массмедиа.

Распространённая ошибка резюме — переписывать весь трудовой опыт из трудовой книжки, начиная с летней подработки курьером в 18 лет.

Работодателю интересно знать о схожем опыте работы и чем занимался кандидат последние 3 года — это главное.

Навыки

Не пишите про коммуникабельность и исполнительность.  Ответственные и пунктуальные кандидаты откровенно надоели hr-специалистам и не запоминаются.

Просто перечислите полезные профессиональные навыки в рамках резюме. Владение программами, методиками, профессиональные компетенции и знания.

Например: свободный английский язык, управление командой, HTML, JavaScript, PHP5, CSS, Yii, Atlassian Jira, MySQL — набор навыков разработчика.

Не забывайте, в резюме нельзя указывать ложную информацию. Обман обязательно раскроется и нанесёт серьёзный репутационный удар.

О себе

В резюме для поиска работы не нужно писать о хобби и подробно расписывать автобиографию.

Рассказ о себе не должен превышать 10-15 предложений и содержать нужную работодателю информацию: профессиональный уровень, количество успешно реализованных проектов, общая сумма закрытых сделок, профессиональные награды, рейтинги и достижения.

Также можно дополнить информацию о пройденных курсах,  рассказать подробнее о редких и полезных проф-навыках.

Зарплата

Кроме основной информации в резюме необходимо указать сумму желаемой зарплаты. С этим много проблем  — не хочется выставлять маленькую планку, но и не завышать зарплатные ожидания.

Чтобы адекватно оценить стоимость на рынке труда, придётся провести небольшое исследование: изучить статистику зарплат коллег как в среднем по России, так и в отдельном городе, понять свою практическую ценность и уровень навыков.

Единственный способ увеличить или удержать собственную ценность как специалиста — постоянно учиться.

Фотография

Фотография нужна. Мы давно поняли, что резюме с фотографиями нравятся больше и хорошо запоминаются. Для этого случая подойдёт портретное фото.

Фотографии из отпусков, рыбалки и модельные снимки в осенней листве оставьте для личного архива.

Оформление

Не забудьте о структуре. В среднем hr тратит 5-10 секунд на знакомство с анкетой кандидата. За это время специалист пробегает глазами по основным пунктам и делает выводы.

Красивая структура и подзаголовки помогут выделить основное и не позволят рекрутеру упустить важную информацию.

Язык резюме должен быть деловым и достаточно простым — без узкоспециализированной терминологии и профессионального жаргона.

If you do, make sure to mention it! 90114 90125 90002 90005 90002 90003 What NOT to Include in the Contact Info Section 90004 90005 90112 90113 90003 Date of Birth 90004 90023 (unless specifically required in the job ad) 90024 — The HR manager does not need to know how old you are .It’s not important for their decision-making, and at worst, it might lead to discrimination based on age. 90114 90113 90003 Unprofessional Email Address 90004 — 90003 Do 90004: [email protected] 90003 Do not 90004: [email protected] 90114 90113 90003 Headshot 90004 — The HR manager does not need to know what you look like in order to evaluate your application, so there’s no real need to include it. 90114 90125 90002 All clear? Good! Now, let’s examine what a successful example of the contact section looks like: 90005 90030 Resume Summary or Objective 90031 90002 It’s not a secret for anyone that first impressions matter, whether they’re in your personal life, or your career.90005 90002 If you leave a bad first impression, chances are, it’s there to stay. After all, it’s very hard to change someone’s opinion of you. 90005 90002 The same applies to your job search — the HR manager spends around 6 seconds scanning each resume. Yep, your carefully-worded, hand-crafted resume only gets 6 seconds of attention. Unless, of course, you manage to leave an amazing first impression. 90005 90002 The way you accomplish this is through either a good resume summary or objective.Both are placed at the top of your resume, right around the contact information section: 90005 90002 So, here’s what you need to know about the two: 90005 90030 What’s a Resume Summary & When to Use it 90031 90002 A resume summary is a 2 -3 sentence summary of your career. You should use a resume summary in basically any situation, unless you’re a recent university graduate or switching careers (in that case, you use a resume objective. More on that later!). 90005 90002 In your resume summary, you need to mention: 90005 90232 90113 Your job and years of experience.E.g .: 90023 Customer support representative with 5+ years of experience in the IT industry. 90024 90114 90113 1 or 2 top achievements (or core responsibilities). E.g .: 90023 Specialized in technical support, customer care, and user retention. 90024 90114 90113 Desired goal (generally, passion for working at a specific company). E.g .: 90023 Looking for new opportunities as a support lead for a SaaS company. 90024 90114 90245 90002 And here’s how the resume summary looks on a resume: 90005 90030 What’s a Resume Objective & When to Use it 90031 90002 A resume objective is, in a nutshell, the goal of your resume.It communicates your motivation for getting into a new field. As with a resume summary, a resume objective should be around 2-3 sentences. 90005 90002 As we’ve mentioned before, a resume objective is the go-to for anyone that either has no work experience or is going through a career change. 90005 90070 Formula to Create Your Resume Objective: 90071 90002 (1) 90257 [SKILL / EDUCATION / CERTIFICATION RELEVANT TO THE JOB WITH JOB TITLE] 90258. 90005 90002 Looking to apply my (2) [years / months of 90257 EXPERIENCE RELEVANT TO THE JOB DESCRIPTION] at [COMPANY YOU ARE APPLYING TO] 90258 90005 90002 to help (3) 90257 [TYPE OF RESPONSIBILITIES YOU WILL HELP OUT WITH SUCCESSFULLY] 90258.90005 90070 Examples of Resume Objectives 90071 90002 1) So, here’s how that would look like if you’re a student: 90005 90112 90113 90023 «Hard-working recent graduate with a B.A. in Graphic Design from New York State University seeking new opportunities. 3+ years of practical experience working with Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop, creating illustrations & designing UX / UI. Looking to grow as a designer, as well as perfect my art, at the XYZ Design Studio. » 90024 90114 90125 90002 2) Or, on the other hand, if you’re going through a career change: 90005 90112 90113 90023 «IT project manager with 5+ years of experience in software development.Managed a team of developers to create products for several industries, such as FinTech and HR tech. Looking to leverage my experience in managing outsourced products as a Product Owner at XYZ. » 90024 90114 90125 90030 Work Experience 90031 90002 The most important part of your resume is your 90003 work experience 90004. 90005 90002 This is where you really sell yourself, displaying your past accomplishments and responsibilities. 90005 90002 If you manage to master this section alone, you’ll know 80% + of all there is to know about how to make a resume.90005 90002 There are a lot of best practices for writing your work experience. Before we dive into all the nits and grits, though, let’s start with the basics … 90005 90002 90003 How to List Work Experience in a Resume 90004 90005 90002 The standard format for your work experience is as follows: 90005 90112 90113 90003 Job Title / Position 90004 — Your job title goes on top of each work experience entry. When the HR manager scans your resume, you want them to know, at a glance, that you have relevant work experience for the job.90114 90113 90003 Company Name / Location / Description 90004 — Then, you mention the name of the relevant employer, as well as the location of the office you work / have worked in. In some cases, you may also want to briefly describe the company, if the organization is not a famous household name. 90114 90113 90003 Achievements and Responsibilities 90004 — This is the core of each work experience entry. Depending on your field, you want to list either your achievements or responsibilities.We’ll get more into the how’s and why’s of this in a bit. 90114 90113 90003 Dates Employed 90004 — The timeframe of your employment in each company. Not sure about the exact dates you worked somewhere? Do not worry — you do not have to be accurate by the day, as long as it’s close. The standard format expected by recruiters and employers is 90003 mm / yyyy 90004 (this is especially important when your job application will be parsed by an Applicant Tracking System). 90114 90125 90002 Here’s a real-life example: 90005 90002 As you can see, the work experience listings should be mentioned in reverse-chronological order — starting with the most recent job, going all the way back into the past.90005 90002 Now that you know how to list your experience, we’re going to talk about 90003 how to write about your experience 90004 in such a way that you stand out from the competition. 90005 90002 90023 Are you a student with no work experience? We’ve got you covered. Check out our guide to writing an 90024 90023 internship resume here 90024 90023. 90024 90005 90002 90003 List Achievements When Possible 90004 90005 90002 One of the most common resume mistakes is listing only responsibilities in your work experience section.90005 90002 Here’s the thing — in most cases, the hiring manager knows what, exactly, your responsibilities were. Let’s say you’re a sales manager, for example. Your responsibilities would be: 90005 90112 90113 Reach out to potential clients over the phone or email. 90114 90113 Maintain relationships with existing company clients and upsell relevant products. 90114 90113 Tracking and reporting on leads in CRM. 90114 90125 90002 Coincidently, this is exactly the same list of responsibilities for every sales manager.90% of all other resumes probably mention just about the same thing. 90005 90002 So, to stand out, you want to focus on mentioning achievements in your resume instead. Or in simple terms, how exactly you helped the company grow, reach quarterly quotas, and so on. 90005 90070 Correct Examples 90071 90112 90113 Exceeded sales team KPIs by 30% + for 3 months straight. 90114 90113 Generated over $ 24,000 in sales in 1 month. 90114 90125 90070 Incorrect Examples 90071 90112 90113 Generated leads through cold-calling 90114 90113 Managed existing company clients 90114 90125 90002 Keep in mind, though, that in some fields, there are not that many achievements you can mention.Let’s say you work in a warehouse. Your day-to-day responsibilities probably involve: 90005 90112 90113 Loading, unloading and setting up equipment on a daily basis. 90114 90113 Package finished product and get it ready for shipping. 90114 90113 Assist in opening and closing the warehouse. 90114 90125 90002 In such fields, it’s pretty hard to distinguish yourself, so it’s totally OK to stick to responsibilities instead. 90005 90002 90003 Tailor Your Resume to the Job 90004 90005 90002 Did you know that over 70% of resumes submitted to job-boards are never read? 90005 90002 Yep, Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) keep your resume from being read by HR.An ATS (for resume) is software that helps companies filter through hundreds of resumes they receive per day. 90005 90002 So you’re probably wondering, 90023 «What gives ?! What’s the point of perfecting your resume, if a robot can just say «No» and single-handedly destroy all the effort you put in? » 90024 90005 90002 Well, do not worry — getting past the Application Tracking System is not hard, as long as you know how to do it. 90005 90002 The key here is to tailor your resume to each job you apply.To do this, you need to mention the right keywords from the job ad in your resume. 90005 90002 So, let’s cover a simple example on how to do this. Let’s say that after reading the following job ad for the position of a digital marketer, you discover that the most critical requirements for the job are: 90005 90112 90113 5+ years of experience in online marketing 90114 90113 Social media marketing experience, with good knowledge of Facebook advertising 90114 90113 BA in Marketing or Business Administration 90114 90113 Experience managing 20,000 USD monthly advertising budget on Facebook 90114 90125 90002 Now, to tailor your resume to these requirements, simply mention each in your resume, considering you have the relevant achievements and qualifications! 90005 90002 90003 How much work experience do you include in your resume? 90004 90005 90002 If you’ve got over a decade’s worth of work experience, you’re probably confused about how much of it you mention in your resume.After all, If you had to list 90003 everything 90004 you’ve ever done, you’d end up writing a mini-novella. 90005 90002 Or, on the other hand, if you’re a newcomer to the job market, you probably do not have ANY experience and are wondering what could you even mention. 90005 90002 Here’s how much information you’d mention in your resume depending on your level of experience: 90005 90112 90113 90003 Job hunters with no experience 90004 — If you do not have any experience, it might be a bit hard to fill in your work experience section.You can either keep it empty and focus on all the other sections, or fill it up with work experience in student organizations, non-profits, etc. 90114 90113 90003 Entry-level candidates 90004 — List all the work you’ve done up to now. 90114 90113 90003 Mid-level professionals 90004 — ONLY mention work experience relevant to the position you’re applying for. 90114 90113 90003 Senior professionals 90004 — List up to 15 years of relevant work experience MAX. If your recent experience is as a CEO, no one cares about how you started your career as a cashier in your teenage years.90114 90125 90030 How to List Education on Your Resume 90031 90002 The next section we’re going to cover is your Education. Let’s start with the basics — how to format the education section & what to mention there. Then, we’ll move on to tips & tricks that’ll help you stand out … 90005 90112 90113 90003 Program Name. 90004 E.g .: 90023 «B.A. in Business Administration «90024 90114 90113 90003 University Name. 90004 E.g .: 90023 «New York State University» 90024 90114 90113 90003 Years Attended.90004 E.g .: 90023 «08/2008 — 06/2012» 90024 90114 90113 90003 (Optional) GPA. 90004 E.g .: 90023 «3.9 GPA» 90024 90114 90113 90003 (Optional) Honors. 90004 E.g .: 90023 Cum Laude, Magna Cum Laude, Summa Cum Laude. 90024 90114 90113 90003 (Optional) 90004 90003 Academic achievements. 90004 Any interesting papers you’ve written, courses you’ve excelled in, etc. 90114 90113 90003 (Optional) Minor 90004. 90023 «Minor in Psychology» 90024 90114 90125 90002 Here’s an example: 90005 90070 Tips on perfecting your education section: 90071 90112 90113 If you do not have any work experience, mention your education section first.90114 90113 Mention your latest educational entry on top. 90114 90113 If you have a university degree, do not mention your high school at all. 90114 90113 ONLY mention GPA if you had a very impressive academic career (3.5 GPA plus). 90114 90125 90030 Emphasize Your Know-How with the Skills Section 90031 90002 Another must-have section in your resume is the 90003 90023 «Skills» 90024 90004 section. Here, you want to mention all your know-how that makes you the perfect candidate for the job.90005 90002 There are 2 types of skills you can include when writing your resume: 90005 90002 90003 Hard Skills 90004 (Measurable abilities). This can be anything from coding in Python to knowing how to cook Thai cuisine. 90005 90002 90003 Soft Skills 90004 (Personal skills). These are a mix of social skills, communication skills, personal traits, career attributes, and so on. Leadership, critical thinking, management, and communication, just to name a few. 90005 90002 A good resume should cover both.90005 90002 90003 How to List Skills in Your Resume 90004 90005 90002 When mentioning skills in your resume, there are 3 essential steps to follow: 90005 90002 90003 Step # 1 90004 — List Hard Skills with Experience Levels. For each hard skill you list, you want to mention your proficiency level: 90005 90002 As a rule of thumb, you can divide them by: 90005 90002 90003 Beginner 90004 — You have some experience with the skill, whether it’s from some entry-level practice or classroom education.90005 90002 90003 Intermediate 90004 — You’ve used the skill in a work environment with a good level of understanding. 90005 90002 90003 Advanced 90004 — You’re the go-to person for the skill in your office. You can coach other employees, and understand the skill on a high level. 90005 90002 90003 Expert 90004 — You’ve applied this skill in more than a handful of different projects & organizations. You’re the go-to person for advice about the skill, not just in your office, but even amongst some of the best professionals in your field.90005 90002 Make sure to 90003 NEVER 90004 lie about your skill levels. Otherwise, it’s going to be pretty awkward both for you and your employer. 90005 90002 Imagine your first task at work as an Illustrator — to create a graphic vector to go nicely with an article. If you end up delivering a hastily drawn stick figure colored with a paint bucket tool in Microsoft Paint, you’ll be out of the job before your probation period ends. 90005 90002 90003 Step # 2 90004 — 90003 Tailor Your Skills to the Job 90004.You might have some super rare, awesome skills, but they’re not always going to be useful. For example, it’s awesome that you know accounting, but would you really need it at your new job as a line cook? Exactly! 90005 90002 Take a look at the job ad and list 2-3 essential skills required for the job. 90005 90070 For example: 90071 90002 90003 Qualifications 90004 90005 90112 90113 University Degree 90114 90113 Tech-savy, with some background in CMS systems such as WordPress 90114 90113 Thrives in a stressful environment & manages to juggle multiple tasks and deadlines 90114 90113 Organizational and time management skills 90114 90113 Excellent communication skills 90114 90113 Self-reliant, with the ability to manage their own work 90114 90113 Can-do attitude and an outside-the-box thinker 90114 90125 90002 Systems: 90005 90112 90113 Proficient in Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator , Keynote and Pages 90114 90113 Basic understanding of Office software — Word, Excel, Powerpoint, and Outlook 90114 90125 90002 As you can see, the must-have skills here are Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator, Keynote and Pages.A good-to have is WordPress. You can also mention Word, Excel, Powerpoint, and Outlook, but it’s pretty much assumed that you know how to use them, as they’re required for most office jobs. 90005 90002 If you’re qualified, make sure to mention all relevant skills with respective proficiency levels in your «Skills» section. 90005 90002 90003 Step # 3 90004 — Include Some Universal Skills — «Universal Skills» are the type of skills useful for almost any job out there. These are both soft skills (leadership, teamwork, critical thinking, etc.) And hard skills (Excel, Powerpoint, Photoshop, writing, etc.).

Or better, multi-lingual? You should ALWAYS mention that on your resume! 90005 90002 Even if the position does not require you to know the specific language, it can still come in handy at some point. At the end of the day, it’s always better to know more languages ​​than less.90005 90002 To list languages ​​in your resume, simply write them down and assign them the appropriate level: 90005 90112 90113 Native 90114 90113 Fluent 90114 90113 Proficient (Enough knowledge to pass by in a professional environment) 90114 90113 Intermediate 90114 90113 Basic 90114 90125 90002 As a given, you should never lie about your language skills.

It leaves the impression that you’re a devoted, loyal employee.90005 90002 Several studies show that you can boost your chances of getting hired simply by listing your volunteering experience.

How about certifications from industry experts? 90005 90002 Whichever the case is, as long as it’s relevant for the position you’re applying for, feel free to add it to your resume.90005 90002 Let’s say, for example, you’re a Microsoft Cloud Engineer. Assuming you specialize in Microsoft Technologies, you’d definitely want to include all essential certifications, such as the Azure Solutions Architect Expert one. 90005 90002 90003 Publications 90004 90005 90002 Are you a freelance writer? Maybe a distinguished academic? 90005 90002 If you have any published works (online, or in an academic journal), you might want to include them in your resume.
