10 important resume points

Job title
In the resume, it is better to indicate only one position for which you are applying: the recruiter should immediately see which position you are interested in.
Exception: you can write in one resume two or three close professions (secretary, assistant manager).
If you are interested in several areas, then create one resume for each position (there is such an opportunity on Rabota.ru), describe in detail the experience, skills, achievements for each position that interests you. Send resumes to specific employers.

Achievements

Recruiters always (!) Pay attention to this item. Do not write streamlined phrases: "Participated in the organization of the exhibition." Give figures and facts: “I took an active part in organizing the exhibition: attracted 10 free information partners, 8 speakers, concluded a room lease agreement with a 12 percent discount ...”.
A sales manager may say: “Over the course of a year at Y, I managed to find 7 new wholesale customers. Due to this, the company's revenue increased by 18% "
The seller can write: “During my work in the store X I’ve been awarded three times for conscientious performance of my duties and a high level of customer service.”
Achievements speak of your professionalism.

work experience

Do not make a long resume. Ideally, it should be no more than 2 pages. Describe the last 10 years of experience or 3-4 previous jobs. All that was before, briefly mention (company name, position, results). Describe the experience, starting with the last - the last experience should top the list.

If in recent years you have had unofficial experience and it intersects with the functionality of the position that you are applying for today, then write about it in the resume. Unofficial experience can be confirmed by recommendations.

Wage level

Must comply with market conditions. Evaluate your experience, study similar resumes of candidates, vacancies. Choose the average wage.

To get more feedback, it’s better to be flexible and indicate your desired salary a few percent below average.

Contact and photo

Leave the correct phone numbers and email addresses. The latter should be made up of a combination of your first and last name. Frivolous variations on the theme (dracosha @ ..., yagodka @ ...) are also perceived accordingly.

Links to your pages on social networks can only be mentioned if they can demonstrate your professional skills: for example, when work is related to maintaining social networks, Internet promotion.

Complete the resume with a photograph, select a business-style image. It should be a “solo” portrait photo: only you, without friends, family, pets ... You should not choose a photo in a swimsuit, in the style of “nude” and so on. Such photos will cause misunderstanding of a serious employer.
Before publishing a resume, do not be lazy and check it for spelling errors, typos. A resume with errors spoils the impression of the applicant.

Duties

Do not copy them from job descriptions. Write simply and clearly what you did at your previous job.

Example: “As a sales manager, I was engaged in maintaining current customers and finding new ones. He was responsible for processing transactions. ”

Portfolio

Indicate the correct links to work that are associated with a future post.

Example: if you want to get a job in the editorial office of a medical publication, then give links to publications related to the topic of medicine and beauty, and not to your materials on urban improvement, seasonal discounts in clothing stores.

Further education and languages

Mentioning of completed courses and additional training is justified if your knowledge is related to future work.

Indicate in the resume only those foreign languages ​​that you know well. If your asset has only one foreign language and you speak it at a basic level, also mention this in your resume.

Qualities and Skills

Indicate only specific skills and qualities that are most in demand for the chosen profession.

Example. The driver can mention in the resume: accident-free driving experience, car repair skills, excellent knowledge of the Rules of the road and the city. If necessary - experience with the transportation of goods, accompanying documentation, invoices and, of course, stress resistance, non-conflict.

Hobby

Indicate hobbies that are related to your profession or emphasize business qualities.

Example: a financial analyst can write that he is fond of playing chess.
