A resume is a kind of calling card of a person who is applying for a certain position. From it, the employer must find out all the necessary information about the candidate. What is the best way to present yourself so that you are distinguished from a large number of competitors applying for a similar position? According to statistics, one of the important factors that influence the choice of an employee are the personal qualities indicated in the resume.
What should be indicated in the "about myself" clause? What qualities are required?
In addition to the basic standard information about age, education and other things, you need to tell about yourself in your resume. This paragraph should indicate your personal qualities.
Of how well and correctly you will be able to present yourself using a resume, depends on the likelihood of the decision of the head to take you to work. The better you present, the higher the percentage.
Most people, when writing their resume, find it difficult to answer this question, what to write about, so they often just recklessly skip this point. This is not worth doing, since it is information about your personal qualities that can play a rather important and even decisive role.

- responsibility;
- discipline;
- high efficiency;
- communication skills;
- diligence.
Important are personal qualities such as adequate attitude to criticism and the ability to compromise.
Keep in mind, however, that when writing a resume, you should not point out all the positive qualities that can come to mind. It is necessary to highlight only a few main ones. At the same time, your task is to disclose information about yourself in your resume so that the employer will distinguish you from the general mass of potential employees. If you wish, you can present your positive qualities in a more original form. However, it is important not to overdo it here.
Indicate only those personality traits that correspond to you in reality. If you cannot ascribe any of the qualities to yourself, it is better to keep silent about it. Otherwise, the employer will be able to reproach you for the fact that the information you provided is not true.
