We have compiled a memo on what to do to prevent the resume from ending up in the trash bin.\u00a0Many novices make mistakes in their resumes because they don\u2019t clearly understand their goals. Moreover, they usually don\u2019t know what companies want to see in their candidates and how to correctly present their skills. We\u2019ll help you to avoid common mistakes and achieve the best results while looking for a job.Table of ContentsToggleResume StructureContactsObjective & SummarySkillsExperienceEducationAdditional informationThe PhotoLiteracyVolumeWhat Is Next?Resume StructureThe good news is that there are no strict rules when writing a resume. You set the accents based on what points you want to draw the employer’s attention to.When writing a resume, you should adhere to the following logic:Name and last nameContactsObjectiveSummarySkillsExperienceEducationAdditional information.ContactsIn addition to the city of residence, email address, phone number, and Skype contact, it is considered good practice to add links to profiles on social networks: Linkedin, Github, and Facebook. Even if you don’t, recruiters will still find them through search engines.Objective & SummaryWhy are you writing a resume? To get a specific job in a specific area and in a specific company. This is the goal. Make it up in one sentence and without senseless statements.SkillsSo much has been written on this topic. But let’s once again look at the options that juniors should indicate in the Skills section.Junior PMclear measurable achievements that you already have;knowledge of Agile project management methodologies;an understanding of the software development process;experience in organizing people and projects. Junior developerprogramming languages \u200b\u200bthat you know and have used in practice; share links to personal developments;API\/Frameworks;Database;OS: Windows is great for .NET developers, but your knowledge of Linux and mobile operating systems is an advantage. Junior QAbug tracking system – better, if not one, and not only in theory;knowledge of databases;experience with HTML\/CSS;understanding of the basics of testing, the software development process.ExperienceIt is customary to write work experience in reverse order. However, in 5 out of 10 resumes, candidates forget about this rule. Therefore, we remind you once again.For this part of your resume, also stick to this structure:Years.Company.Position.Role description.Project description.Tools and technologies.EducationName of educational institution, faculty, specialty, degree received, years of study.Additional informationIn this section you should provide:the level of possessing foreign languages;marital status;interesting hobbies;what is important for an employer to find out in the context of a specific vacancy.You won’t get a second chance to make a first impression, so it is important not only what you write, but also how you present it.The PhotoOf course, the recruiter will only smile at your photo in shorts and without a T-shirt against the background of the sea. Try to keep the photograph inviting and friendly, but not like in an ID. If there is no suitable photograph, then it is better to take an appropriate one.LiteracyCheck your resume several times for errors and punctuation, or better – give it to a competent friend for proofreading.Volume1-2 pages are enough. Did you get carried away and it turned out more? See what you can remove:Structure and add lists.Was the word \u201cResume\u201d written in the form of a heading in 18 font? Delete it!\u00a0\u00a0Name and surname are written in 22 font? You flatter yourself. Use a font with a size of +2 from the main one for the title.The font size for the main text should be easy to read, so as not to screw up your eyes, and not to zoom out. 11 point size will be just right.Never write personal qualities in a resume, especially that you are sociable, responsible, decent – HRs will find this out at the interview.What Is Next?Planning and control in your job search are essential. Monitor the labor market and make a list of companies with suitable vacancies. Write a cover letter template. 3-5 sentences with answers to 2 questions \u201cWhy do I want to work in this particular company?\u201d and \u201cWhy exactly am I suitable for this position?\u201d Remember, it is important to correct the text for each job\/company. Every employer is unique. Give them a pleasure to feel it.\u00a0Remind HRs about yourself if you do not receive a response within 3-5 days. This is a great incentive for recruiters to adhere to the rule of responding to all emails without exception. And you will show your interest in the vacancy."}
