For many people, the process of putting together a resume is painful and dragging. It would seem that making up two sheets of your career is easy. But that’s often a misconception.
This guide-article will be universal and is aimed more at non-IT specialists. In the article, I’ll cover all the intricacies of putting together, promoting your resume.
Major mistakes when writing and posting a resume
The first and fundamentally important mistake a jobseeker makes is trying to create a fancy resume in an elaborate template. One seeks out and sneaks peeks at various in-form perversions, turning the business document into a smear. From tabular style, to coloring in all the colors of the rainbow, using and cluttering icons and status bars. The ideal is in front of you. You just enter your data and download it in doc/pdf format. This is the classic, easy to read and clear in structure.
The second mistake, is to “”bloat”” the resume. Many people think that the more I write, the more spectacular it will be for the employer. No. I’ll tell you, as a person who has reread tens of thousands of resumes – the average recruiter/HR does not read beyond 1-2 pages thoughtfully. It’s not because he’s so obnoxious, it’s just that he can have up to a hundred of these masterpieces a day. Eyes cling to the important points – work experience, skills.
Posting and promoting your resume
Here everything is trivial. If you don’t have anyone you know who can reach out and take you “”on board””, then the best place to look for a job (there’s more about developers, peace of mind) are job sites. Storming social networks, telegram channels, and various groups. Each area works for a different specialty. For line professionals and job openings are good facebook groups, job fairs. For middling and top specialists – linkedin, telegram groups.
If the search drags on
It often happens that after posting a resume, months pass. And things do not go well. This is influenced by many factors. Maybe it is not the season, the crisis in the country, the nuances of your resume, the banal bad luck. You should be wary if you are not employed for 2-3 months.
Don’t be discouraged. During your job search, try to maintain your knowledge so that you don’t actually lose your qualifications.
