Text for topic: HOW TO WRITE A RESUME – Як написати резюме

No matter what method of job hunting you use, inevitably somebody will ask you for a resume. Most companies require a resume before seriously considering a job candidate from the outside. Resumes are sometimes also required in order to receive a job transfer within a company. The purpose of a resume is to help you obtain a job interview, not a job. Very few people are hired without a personal interview. Effective resumes are straightforward, factual presentations of a person’s experience and accomplishments. They are neither overdetailed nor too sketchy. A general rule is that two or three pages in length is best. One page seems too superficial; a four-page (or longer) resume may irritate an impatient employment official. Some writers suggest that a chronological (the standard-type) resume be used; others argue for an accomplishment resume. A useful resume should include both your experiences and key accomplishments. When sent to a prospective employer, a resume should be professionally reproduced, with particular attention to misspellings, typographical errors, and careful spacing. To attract attention, some job seekers print resumes on tinted paper, in a menu-like folder, or on unusual-sized paper. If done in a way to attract positive attention to yourself, these approaches have merit.

Як написати резюме

Незалежно від того, яким способом ви шукаєте роботу, вас неодмінно хто-небудь попросить написати резюме. Більшість компаній вимагає резюме перед тим, як серйозно розглянути якусь нову для компанії кандидатуру на посаду. Резюме іноді також потрібні для того, щоб перевести людину на нову роботу в межах компанії. Мета резюме — допомогти вам зустрітися для розмови з приводу роботи, а не одержати саму роботу. Дуже мало людей беруть на роботу без особистої бесіди. Ефективні резюме мають бути простими, вони фактично є представленням досвіду кандидата і його досягнень. Їх не перевантажують подробицями, але й дуже схематичними вони теж не повинні бути. Загальне правило — найкраще дві або три сторінки. Резюме, з однієї сторінки здається дуже поверховим, з чотирьох сторінок (або більше) може роздратувати нетерплячого представника відділу кадрів. Деякі автори пропонують писати резюме в хронологічному порядку (стандартний тип); інші наводять докази на користь резюме

досягнень. Придатне резюме Мусить включати як ваш досвід, так і ключові досягнення. Відправляючи резюме до майбутнього роботодавця, його” потрібно професіонально оформити, звернувши особливу увагу на орфографічні помилки, друкарські помилки і на правильне розташування тексту. Щоб привернути увагу, деякі шукачі роботи друкують резюме на тоновому кольоровому папері, або в папці для меню, або на незвичайному за величиною папері. Якщо це зроблено, щоб привернути позитивну увагу до себе, такі підходи заслуговують на схвалення.
