Instructions
Step 1
Complete the first set of questions, which contains introductory information about you. Be sure to enter your contact information correctly. With a positive decision, the employer will definitely be able to contact you. If necessary, set the conditions for communication, for example, the preferred time of day.
Step 2
Fill in the block about previous jobs. List them starting with the most recent. If all the data is recorded in the work book, check with it. Please note that it is better if the previous places are on the subject as close as possible to the proposed vacancy. Do not be silent about work experience that is not indicated in the work book, but similar to a new place. Today employers are not so actively checking against the recorded data. They are more interested in the applicant's real work experience, especially if they have good references.
Step 3
Much attention is paid to questions about leaving the previous job. It is clear that in the resume you will indicate "of your own free will." But HR managers will be sure to take an interest in the real reasons for leaving. You shouldn't talk about the oppressive bosses with whom you disagree. The future employer calculates the situation in advance, how and what you will talk about him. It is better to say that in the previous company, unfortunately, at the moment there is no room for your career growth, and you are afraid of losing all your working potential.
Step 4
Answer questions about your personal goals honestly. Be sure to say that you want to have a stable good income and the possibility of increasing it. Many companies believe that this orientation of the employee is a good motivation for him. Also, do not forget to mention the realization of your business qualities and creativity.
Step 5
The question “Why did you choose our company?” Becomes difficult for the applicant. To answer it, study the history of the company in advance, the fields of activity and the prospects available for your specialty. Then the answer to this question will be obvious: because the company provides ample opportunities to work in my profile.
Step 6
When answering resume questions, be concise, precise, do not underestimate, but also do not seek to exaggerate your talents. Indicate the level of proficiency in programs, foreign languages in accordance with reality. At the interview, the employer can, for example, switch to the specified language. In case the level of proficiency in the resume was too high, you will find yourself in a disadvantageous situation.
Step 7
When answering a question about your strengths and weaknesses, be honest with your employer as well. At most, you are required to name three qualities in each category. Analyze the position for which you are applying. Name exactly the positive qualities characteristic of her. But present the negative points so that at this place they look like positive ones. When doing this, actively use synonyms. For example, excessive talkativeness is sociability, and curiosity is attention to detail.
