A resume is an indispensable document when looking for a qualified job. As a rule, the employer spends no more than 3-5 minutes studying the information provided. A well-written and well-designed resume will save time and get a head start in front of other applicants for a good position.
Instructions
Step 1
Write your personal information: name, patronymic, surname, address, phone number (indicate city code).
Step 2
State your goal in 3-5 lines. Briefly describe what position you are applying for.
Step 3
Record your work experience in descending chronological order, starting with your last job. When specifying the start and end dates of work, you can omit the details and leave only information about the years. Write the name of the organization, the position held (or positions, if there were several), define the key job responsibilities. Do not forget to mention the achievements using the expressions "developed", "saved", "increased".
Step 4
Indicate basic and additional education. Give the full name of the higher, secondary or vocational educational institution, the name of the specialty. List refresher courses (if any), awards and diplomas received.
Step 5
Fill in the "Additional Information" block. Write about the level of proficiency in foreign languages and a personal computer, list computer programs in which you can work. Indicate that you have a driver's license and health record. If you are a member of a trade union, do not forget to mention this. Describe your personality traits. Never use the pronoun "I", avoid passive forms, write as briefly and specifically as possible. Try to focus on your accomplishments and positive qualities, but don't exaggerate your capabilities.
Step 6
If possible, provide recommendations from competent people, attach testimonials from previous places of work.
Step 7
Check your resume carefully for grammatical errors. If this procedure causes you difficulties, be sure to seek help from a competent person. For decoration, choose thick high-quality paper in beige or white. Make sure your resume is consistent and easy to read: do not use small print, highlight paragraphs, and maintain acceptable line spacing. Try to fit all the information on one sheet. Be prepared to document all the items identified.
