Career counselors believe that the ultimate goal of resume is to let job seekers successfully pass the first round of screening by employers and enter the interview. If the information displayed on the resume basically meets the hardware requirements of the other party and can leave a good first impression on the recruiter, it is success. To this end, job seekers can use some skills to package themselves, such as avoiding the heavy, avoiding the real, and highlighting the advantages. As long as the resume enters the eyes of the employer, the real ability is left to the interview!
The so-called moderate packaging, this "degree" is not easy to grasp, and a little carelessness will spoil it. Just like walking the "balance beam" on your resume, you won't fall off if you are skilled.
When it comes to weaknesses, the vaguer the better. Many companies will refer to hardware standards when screening resumes, such as major, education, working years, age, residence and so on. When you don't meet the requirements, you can omit it or provide ambiguous information. The other party is not sure about your actual situation, but at the same time attracted by your other advantages, so you will not be eliminated prematurely.
For example, you have had three jobs, the first one is 1 month, the second one is 3 months, and the third one is more than two years. You don't want to give the impression that employers change jobs frequently. You can omit the work month and only write the year in your resume, so that the first two jobs don't have to appear at all. For example, the other party requires a formal undergraduate degree, and you got the undergraduate diploma through self-study. You just need to fill in "undergraduate" in the column of education, and don't make other explanations. As long as you can show no less ability than ordinary undergraduates in the interview stage, education is not a problem. There is another situation. There is a job that you can do well with your experience and skills, but your education is far from the requirements of the other party. Never mind, you can omit your education and highlight your work experience; Maybe I'm in a university, but it doesn't mean I've finished it. In this way, you may get valuable interview opportunities.
Some people, on the contrary, can't find a suitable job because of their high academic qualifications or qualifications. If you are willing to lower your expectations, you might as well hide your later education.
Dr. Tang, a "successful case", is currently studying in the School of Management of a famous university in Shanghai and wants to find a job after graduation. It's a pity that when people heard that he was a doctor from a prestigious school, they said that there was no room for the Great Bodhisattva in the small temple. In desperation, Dr. Tang only stated his bachelor's degree in technology and a period of work experience before studying for a master's degree on his resume, ignoring the master's degree and doctoral degree. It happens that the business owner needs a helper who knows both technology and management experience, and Dr. Tang's conditions are very consistent. The boss was overjoyed and hired him at a salary of 7000 yuan per month without saying anything. Later, when the boss learned that Tang Xiao was a doctor, he was surprised that he was so down-to-earth and didn't have the shelf of highly educated talents, and he was valued more and more.
Nowadays, many job seekers dig deep into the appearance of resumes and engage in many gimmicks. Some girls put their * * * photos on their resumes, and some spend hundreds of dollars to do video resumes for themselves. These resumes are expensive, but they may not be favored by recruiters. In fact, the highest level of resume appearance packaging is to see ingenuity in simplicity and impress people with details.
If you are good at calligraphy, you can attach a handwritten cover letter to your resume; If you have artistic skills, you might as well draw some beautiful patterns in the appropriate position of the envelope; If you have any experience in stamps, you can also stick one or two exquisite special or commemorative stamps on the envelope to form a visual contrast with the house full of eyes. Maybe the other person is a stamp collector! These details can make your resume stand out at first sight and leave a deep impression.
You can also use your head on the format of your resume. For example, learn from the arrangement of newspapers and use tools such as subheadings, horizontal columns, vertical columns and boxes. Give priority to visual effects, fully strengthen your personal advantages and dilute your disadvantages.
"Successful Case" 4A A famous advertising company gave a vigorous campus presentation in colleges and universities. After the meeting, resumes from college students piled up. Yang Hong has been eager to enter this advertising company, but looking at the piles of resumes, she really has no confidence in whether she can stand out. She is thinking about how to highlight the quality that an advertiser should have in his resume-creativity. Suddenly, she saw a small shop selling Christmas cards on campus and had an epiphany: why not write a resume with Christmas cards?
Xiao Yang immediately bought a beautiful music card, wrote his greetings to the recruiter with a beautiful pen on the front page, opened it and showed Xiao Yang's well-posted resume with beautiful music. When Xiao Yang personally sent this blessing resume to the recruiter, he saw obvious surprise and joy on his face. In this way, Xiao Yang entered the first round of interview.
When you mention your strengths and focus on your weaknesses, it is not easy to ignore your resume. Only when some abilities of job seekers attract employers deeply can you make them ignore those vague information. Therefore, how to highlight the advantages of rendering is another aspect of packaging.
If you don't have enough education, try to emphasize work experience or related skills. Try to concretize and digitize your own experience. If you were a project manager, don't mention it. For example, during your tenure as a project manager, it took you six months to develop a payroll application system, which saved the company a budget of XX yuan.
It is a fatal weakness that recent graduates generally have no work experience. You can list the internship experience related to the applied position, and the expression is the same as above. If you have some knowledge or skills directly related to your job, you should also write them in as much detail as possible and show how you will apply these knowledge and skills to your job. This can show that you are very good at learning new knowledge and winning impression points.
In addition, for some jobs that often need to work overtime and travel, even if they are unqualified, they can directly write "willing to work at night and weekends" and "able to adapt to frequent travel". When other candidates are unwilling to make sacrifices, you can take this opportunity.
