my career During my time, I found employment for hundreds of people, which made me very successful. So, to reward this success, I want to give you information on how I read resumes. First, consider how you will approach your own resume.
- Think about someone in your network who is not a loved one or close friend. This person could be a mentor, a business contact, or someone you know from your school or college years.
- Contact them and invite them for drinks.
- Give them a copy of your current resume and ask them to read it right then and there.
- Ask them to describe the person on your resume and ask if they would hire that person.
If they can’t provide a clear picture of who the person whose information is on the resume is, how hard they’ve struggled, how much they care about their job, and how much progress they’ve made, then something is wrong.
Long story short, your resume is not making the impact it should on the person reading it.
If I had to put it another way;
Restaurants have a lot in common. They offer things like a place to sit, staff to take your orders, meals to choose from, a restroom you can use, and so on.
In every city in the world, there are thousands of restaurants trying to attract your attention and want you to become their customer.
What matters here is what each restaurant does to grab your attention and keep you wanting more. We can also call it what the restaurant does to stand out from the rest.
The important thing here is not a 20-page menu that no one reads, a stylish decor or competitive prices (of course, it will be useful to offer all these to your customers).
The secret lies in all the intricate little details that keep the restaurant’s doors open and keep you coming back.
What will make your future employer want to hire you; These are the details you will include in your resume.
So what do I look for in a resume? I have 10 seconds.
- Professional experiences: I would like to see the impact you are making in your business as quickly as possible. Details such as the size of the company and the characteristics of the job however It is useful if it has something to do with the difference you make.
- Keywords: I match the words used in the resume with the words in the client’s job description.
- Photograph: The most effective photos are honest and simple ones where your personality is reflected in your facial expression, like in a passport photo. Adding photos isn’t mandatory, of course, but why not?
Be careful when preparing your CV These are what you need to do. That’s it.
What are the next steps after your resume has been reviewed by another person?
- Keep an up-to-date list of your professional accomplishments and competencies in the “Drafts” folder of your email messages. Update your resume regularly with these achievements and skills.
- Work with a good photographer or find a friend with a good camera. Create a small collection of carefully curated photos. Since your CV represents you and is the first point of contact with you, choose the photo that best represents you.
- Create your own clean document records. Show off your best features on your social media and other online profiles.
By doing these, you will be one step closer to becoming an interesting candidate.
What if your resume The ultimate test of knowing when to be ready?
The reader’s eyes will shine…
