What the resume says about you
Is one hour enough to write a good resume? How accurate will it be? Perhaps this time is enough to list all the skills, knowledge, qualifications, achievements, interests and experience, or are you simply underestimating yourself?
Get a little distracted
Think about it a couple of minutes. You give these few sheets of paper to a complete stranger in the hope that they will help change your life. Of course, you fully understand everything written in the resume and know what you wanted to convey to its reader, but will the recruiter understand this?
Often people omit some important aspects or explanations to them, believing that the HR manager will understand everything. But this does not always happen.
Put your resume aside and think about what you wrote in it. Imagine that a stranger gave you your resume. What can you say about this person after reading? Give this resume to friends and family - what will they say? This is especially effective if people are far from the specifics of your profession. It happens that the recruiter is not 100% aware of it.
Divide the resume into parts
Put each part of the resume on a separate page and study separately. HR managers often focus more on individual parts than on the entire resume as a whole.
Another advantage of this approach is that you can better concentrate on individual parts, give each one more attention, without being distracted by the other.
Did you like what you read?
After reading your resume, as if it belongs to another person, answer honestly - did you like it? Would you hire this person to your team? If you are unsatisfied with something, then analyze each part point by point and improve it. Do this until you are completely satisfied.
It is important not just to create a resume and send it to vacancies. Work.ua recommends taking a look at yourself from the outside - this is a very important part of the job search.
