Whoever you are, a man or a woman, a builder or an accountant, an ordinary employee or a big boss, no one is safe from the need to look for a new job. Moreover, often, managers have to think much more carefully about each step in the job search process, starting with the traditional stage - writing a resume.
Instructions
Step 1
Start your resume with general information (name, age, marital status). Also, do not forget to indicate the position for which you are applying. Post your photo or not - decide for yourself (here a lot depends on your photogenicity and confidence in your charm).
Step 2
Describe your work experience. Start from the last place, as your final years of employment will be of paramount importance to potential employers.
Step 3
Follow the three-question rule for each job: what you did, what you accomplished, and how.
State your job responsibilities clearly, succinctly, but not using templates from a job qualification reference book. For example, the phrase "led the department entrusted to me" at best will not set a potential employer against you, and at worst - your resume will be sent to the trash can. If you were in charge of a department (department, branch), then you must reflect your organizational, strategic and cognitive abilities. For example: organized the work of the unit from "0", developed a system of employee motivation, etc. State the results of your activities (achievements, statistics). Of course, we are not talking about the disclosure of their own inventions or trade secrets.
Step 4
Pay special attention for each place of work to the number of personnel you supervised and the hierarchy of reporting (who reported directly to you and how you delegated authority, and to whom you personally reported).
Step 5
If the work experience is very rich, then you should not describe in detail the first professional steps. It is enough just to list the places of work with the indication of the time limits.
Step 6
If you owned, or continue to own your own business, do not forget to indicate these data (you can even add an additional item, since for some employers this will be a plus, while others will think about your interest in working as an employee).
Step 7
List people who can provide recommendations. Nobody asks you to give phone numbers in your resume. It is enough just to point out that the recommendations will be provided on demand, this is not the level whose phones should be replicated.
Step 8
Additional points may be your wishes regarding subordination (for some, subordination directly to the general director is paramount), readiness for business trips, etc.
Step 9
Your entire professional resume should ideally be 3-4 pages long. More volume can play against you, because An abundance of information can tire a prospective employer and characterize you as someone who does not know how to express your thoughts in a structured way.
