Haloha,
This night the sky so beautiful with the stars shinning..
And I would share some tips to write resume which i took from this web..
When applying for a job or career in a well-established company, you can rest assure that your CV will be one of many that recruiters or company will have to go through. To create a positive impression of your CV, it is extremely important that it is structured clearly, with your best selling points presented in a logical manner and the most relevant information readily identifiable.
There are many ways to write and present your CV professionally, and I believe that there is no right or wrong way. However, please allow me to share with you, how should you structure your CV so that it will increase your chances of going through the next round of recruitment.
Short Description
I like a CV that started with a short description of the candidate. A summary of the incumbent's professional or career life. Good CV's are logical, clear, concise and simple with sentences including short, to the point key words and statements. It is best to leave out words, such as, 'and' and 'I' as much as you can and make each sentence as meaningful as possible. An effective CV needs to focus the readers' attention on the criteria that they are looking for, highlighting important information that can be accessed and interpreted easily. Try to match yourself with the criteria they are looking for.
Sample :
International marketing manager with proven experience in portfolio strategy, brand building, new product development, packaging, advertising, promotion and media. Strong analytical thinking, strategic orientation, communication, influence and leadership skills with high achievement orientation. Practical experience also includes extensive exposure to market research, trade marketing, pricing, sales and distribution aimed at achieving sustainable competitive advantage for long term business growth. Fluent in English and Indonesian.
Contents :
- Professional CV should have the followings as the content.
- Personal Detail : Name, Date of Birth, Contact Details, Nationality - Work Permit if relevant.
- Education and Qualifications : The full title of your degree and university and any significant exam results. High School is relevant as well, but not a necessity.
- Work Experience : List the companies that you have worked for, the dates that you worked at them and a brief description of your role. It is important that they are relevant and detailed in short, bullet-pointed statements. Make clear what your individual contribution was using positive language and include your responsibilities and achievements. Back everything up with quantifiable facts, such as size of budgets and results achieved, to make your skills tangible.
- Achievements : Think carefully about which examples you include in this section, as employers may deduce a lot from your choice about your motivations and what you regard as important. Employers are only interested in your most recent achievements.
- Extra-Curricural Activities : This section on hobbies and interests should be kept short and include information, such as, membership of and positions of responsibility in sports teams, drama societies etc. Any information should have a purpose, showing skills relevant to the role you are applying for and saying something of interest about yourself.
- References : Unless requested, references need not be given at the initial application stage and a simple "references available on request" should suffice. Employers will ask for references if and when they need them.
Your resume is your most important document when job seeking. The purpose of a resume is not only to showcase all of your credentials and achievements, but also to pass the first step in the job search – getting an interview. Human Resources gets maybe hundreds or even thousands of applications for positions, and it is very important that your resume stand out above the rest.
Here are some key tips in crafting a good resume:
1. Focusing on the Employer’s needs
When applying to a job, you need to know what the employer wants, and tailor your resume to fit this. For example if a job ad wants sales experience, point out on your resume what kind of prior sales work you have done. By specifically focusing on some of the key requirements of the employer, your resume can look much more attractive – connect what you have done to what the employer is looking for
2. Show what you bring to the workplace
Your resume should highlight what value you will add to the business. Why should they hire you over all other applicants? It could be anything from your innovative ideas to your ability to lead a developing company. Identify your key achievements in your resume, and any other proficiency that you think will be useful to the company. Employers want to hire employees that will contribute value to the business and give them an edge over the competition.
3. Work Experience
Work experience should take up the largest part of your resume. Each experience should be listed with date and title, and short bullet points describing the nature of your work. You should tailor this depending on the job you are applying for, focusing on some of your key tasks which were similar in your previous work with the job description.
4.Use a summary section
Not many candidates include a summary section at the top of their resume – you should. A summary allows you to quickly list all of the biggest achievements that you want your prospective employer to see, as well as showing them your career objectives and goals. Often Human Resources will not read the whole resume, but will skim over quickly to see if the candidate has required proficiencies – a summary will let them very quickly view your key accomplishments.
5. Chronological Order
Structure your resume chronologically – this means that everything should be in order of latest first. For example, the education section should list (where applicable) your Masters Degree, your Bachelors Degree, your High school, etc., in downward order. This applies for work experience and other key achievements as well. Also, these points should all be short and bullet pointed – try not to use long paragraphs in your resume
6. Concentrate on making it only one page
Some candidates like to use very long resumes over 3-4 pages – this is not advised unless you are a senior candidate. As a fresh graduate, your resume should be direct and concise, and with a length of no more than one page. Make sure it is uniform and consistent in font size, margins, and other layout. It should be visually appealing without the use of graphics or pictures – think of it as a formal advertisement.
7. Focus on Strengths, Downplay Weaknesses
Your entire resume should be aimed at making you look good. Emphasize what you do well, and downplay or don’t mention your weaknesses. For example, if you set up a high school debate team that wasn’t very successful, mention your proactive efforts at establishing an organization, but don’t mention that it didn’t win any major competitions.
So, what about your CV now? ;)
