The Resume
Résumé
is a summary of education, work experience, and qualification. There are two
terms which exist in parallel: C.V. (UK.) or a curriculum vita which comes from
Latin and means autobiography, and résumé (Am. En.) which is
borrowed from French and means a summary. There is no much difference between
them except that a résumé is usually shorter (one page long) and
written by those applicants who have little work experience.
A
résumé is very important in job searching. It is your visit card
purposed to arise interest to the prospective employer. There are three main
formats of a résumé: chronological, functional and hybrid.
The most
popular among the beginners is a chronological résumé. In a chronological résumé a
list of education and work experience is presented in a reverse chronological
order. This is followed by a statement explaining job responsibilities.
In the functional résumé
experience and skills are given under the job title, without dates or places of
an employment.
Hybrid - this is the most suitable for graduates as it
combines the best features of the chronological and functional styles.
Targeted resume emphasizes capabilities and
accomplishments relating to the specific job applied for. Work experience is briefly
listed in a separate section.
Your
résumé also serves as a self-assessment tool, an opportunity to
complete a self-inventory and see where you’ve been and where you’d like to go
The Requirements for a Resume
A resume should show an applicant’s
qualification for a specific job. It should include your name, address, and
telephone number; an employment objective; educational and training data: a
list of previous work experience. The list should start with your present or
with your last job that shows qualifications for the work you want now.
All this data should be listed in an
easy-to-read form. If possible, all of the information should be on one page.
Type your resume on standard size business stationery.
The interviewer usually sees the resume before
he sees the applicant. The resume gives the first impression of the applicant
to the employer. It should be neat and well organized.
2. To strengthen your
resume you may use action verbs like (try to learn them by heart):
Analyzed – аналізував
Administered, managed – вів справи, керував
Completed – проводив (роботу)
Created – створював
Evaluated – визначав (кількість, вартість); підраховував
Implemented – впроваджував
Improved – удосконалював
Investigated – дослідив, вивчив
Organized – організував
Participated – брав участь
Performed – виконав
Planned – планував
Proposed – запропонував
Provided – забезпечив
Researched – досліджував
Solved – вирішив (проблему, задачу)
Streamlined – модернізував
Supervised – завідував
Supported – підтримував
3. Knowing what to exclude from
your resume is as important as knowing what to include. Here is a list of details to exclude from your resume:
·
Height, weight, hair or eye colour;
·
Comments about your family, spouse, or children;
·
Your photograph (unless you are applying for
modeling or acting job);
·
Travel restrictions;
·
Preferences for work
schedule, days off, or overtime;
·
Salary demands or
expectations.
Some special
suggestions will help
you write a perfect resume:
1.
Adapt your resume to
the information you have gathered about the employer and the
job you want.
2.
Use action verbs, they will bring your resume to life.
3.
Avoid the pronoun
“I”. Describe your skills and capabilities by using as many specific words as
possible.
4.
Highlight your
accomplishments and achievements.
5.
Keep it simple and
clear: two pages at most.
6.
Be truthful, don't
exaggerate or misrepresent yourself. Remember that employers check the information.
7.
Don't mention salary.
8.
Avoid long sentences.
Use the minimum number of words and phrases but avoid abbreviations.
9.
The resume should be
typed with plenty of white space and wide
margins. Place headings at the left side of the page, and
the details relating to them on the right side.
10.
Make sure there are
no errors in spelling, punctuation, or typing.
11.
Don't sign or date
the resume.
12.
Always send an
original of your resume. Don't send a photocopy.
13.
Keep copies of
resumes on file for future reference. Once you have a job, update your resume on a regular basis.
4.
Look through the sample of a CV and a resume. Write your own resume.
