MirSovetov already told earlier. Now it is worthwhile to devote a separate publication to how this document should not be drawn up, or rather, to tell about possible mistakes using examples.
Hundreds of responses are received for every vacancy. And it takes an employer or HR specialist a maximum of three minutes to get acquainted with one resume. According to the testimony of recruiters, job seekers too often make mistakes, the cost of which is wasted time, the resume ends up in the basket.
Sample resume # 1
Suppose a certain Natalya Petrova (all coincidences of names and names with real people and enterprises are accidental), after graduating from a university in the Volga region, moved to Moscow. First, she was in charge of the household chemicals section in a store in the near Moscow region, then she moved to a wholesale and retail company selling household chemicals throughout the country, where she oversaw sales not only in Moscow, but also in the regions.She becomes cramped within the framework of her current position, but the company cannot offer options for promotion. Natalia starts looking new job and is applying for the vacancy of a deputy head of the sales department in another company that also sells household chemicals. Requirements for the candidate: experience in the field wholesale trade household chemicals, management of people, interaction with regional offices.
Despite Natalia's compliance with all the requirements, the employer, having received her resume, did not get in touch.

The first and very, according to the testimony of recruiters, a common mistake - File name... The number of responses for each vacancy goes to hundreds, and the resume of candidates who will be of interest to the employer are usually saved in one folder. Moreover, each file is named "Summary". Even if these will be different versions of the name (for example, “rezume”, “resume”, “resume”, “My-resume”, etc.), it is easier to distinguish between them by the names of the applicants. Therefore, there is a very high risk that the recruiter's acquaintance with the candidate will end by reading the name of the attached file.From one of the latest vacancy announcements on the job search site: "Files named" Resume "or" My resume "will not open. Please use your surname for this. "
It is not accepted to use the word “summary” in a document with such a title. And it is so clear that this is it.
Personal data... The surname, name and patronymic of the candidate must be indicated in full and in order: first name, patronymic, surname. There can be an exception only if you apply directly to a company about which you know for sure that appeals by patronymic are not accepted there. This is mainly characteristic of foreign companies.
Contacts should go immediately after the name. MirSovetov recommends to highlight both the name and contact information in a larger font. This will make it easier for the employer to read your resume. However, you cannot use a font larger than 14. At the same time, too small text is inconvenient for reading, so the best option: name and contacts - 14 font, the rest of the text - 12th.
There is no need to indicate nationality in the resume - if this moment is important for the employer (and according to the law it should not), the surname will tell him everything.
There is no consensus on whether to write about marital status, so, probably, it is up to everyone to decide. But it's certainly not worth informing about the divorce. If asked, you will have to answer, but on your own initiative - to nothing.
Target... The wording “getting a decent job” can only tell the employer that the applicant is dissatisfied with the current one. At the stage of reading the resume, this information does not present the candidate in the best way.
It is also unclear for what position and in what area a person is applying. In Natalia's case, the optimal wording would be: "Getting the position of deputy head of the sales department in the field of trade."
V real resumes sometimes there are formulations in the spirit of "looking for a job of some director or deputy, watchman, cleaning lady and any other that does not require higher education."Education... The section is out of place. It makes sense to start with it if the candidate has no work experience. Natalia has quite solid experience, and it is he who interests the employer in the first place.
In her case, the situation is aggravated by the fact that she graduated from, most likely, a university that is little known to the employer. If he, until he gets to the place of study, managed to become interested in work experience, he may not attach any importance to this. But a university that is dubious from the point of view of the employer can lead to the fact that it will not come to work experience.
The chauvinism of the lion's share of Moscow employers in relation to regional universities is no secret to anyone. Even in the regions, graduates of local universities with a good reputation are often preferred over candidates educated in other regions. An exception is the educational giants of the rank of Moscow State University, Baumanka or Plekhanovka.
In the Altai Republic, there are frequent postscripts to job advertisements: “graduates of GASU (Gorno-Altai State University, "The main university" of the republic - Ed.), Please do not worry. "In Natalia's situation, it is better to split this section into two parts: basic education (higher) and additional. First, the university, then - all the courses and trainings.
And a graduate of a Ukrainian university who has worked in Moscow for more than 10 years and has long had Russian citizenship, the recruiter, after reading the resume, first of all specified whether he had a Russian passport, since the position was offered only to citizens of the Russian Federation. The recruiter's doubts arose after the "Education" section of the resume. Since then, this candidate has indicated citizenship in his personal data.
When describing a university, it is necessary to indicate the years of study, and not only graduation, faculty, educational specialty or qualification awarded.
Courses and trainings follow. They are listed, as well as places of work, in reverse chronological order (in Natalia's - in direct order). Be sure to include the full name of the institution and course or training. In our example, this is especially important in the case of "sales training": there are many of them, and it is difficult to understand which one is meant.
Well, the place of this section in the resume of an experienced candidate, I repeat, after work experience or professional skills.
work experience... Natalia has the experience necessary for a current position, but, unfortunately, all this is not visible from her resume. It is easy to save the situation - to reveal the terms of reference for each of the positions held and the profile of each company. After all, in itself it may not talk about anything.
For example, at least two companies in Moscow are called LLC "Twins". One of them specializes in logistics, the other in retail trade in consumer goods.
Additional Information... The name of the level of English proficiency, accepted in language schools, does not mean anything to the employer. This even applies to some recruiters. Russian representations foreign firms. So it is better to report on your real skills: can you read without a dictionary or with a dictionary, speak, how well you understand oral speech, what topics can you explain. If you have an international certificate confirming your language proficiency, it may be worth mentioning this, but it is better not to limit yourself to this. “Fluent” will always make a better impression than being fluent or having a higher TOEFL score. But on condition that you are really fluent. The wording "advanced PC user" can also raise doubts. Everyone has the right to put his own meaning into this concept. Optimal: list general and special programs with which you are "friendly".
But the presence of a driver's license, category, real driving experience is worth mentioning, especially if the proposed position assumes mobility.
And finally, a hobby. Their mention is sometimes welcomed in the West, but in Russia it can cause irritation if the hobby has nothing to do with the future profession or corporate culture of the future employer.
There is a known case when an applicant, knowing that the company cultivates a love of tennis, mentioned that an avid tennis player himself knows about this fact. He was credited with such a manifestation of interest in a future employer. True, he mentioned his hobby not in his resume, but in.Registration... The use of graphic effects is of great importance. In this example, they are ignored - and in vain. Better to highlight the section titles in bold. And the subsections "Responsibilities" and "Achievements" in the description of each job are in italics.
Jobseeker applying for a job in a network of salons cellular, indicated in his resume that he is a Tolkienist. A similar hobby happened to the HR manager, and this decided the case in the candidate's favor. But he then refused the offered position himself: the salary did not suit him.
The main requirement for a resume is that it should not only accurately inform about the most important skills and qualities of the candidate for the employer, but also present this information in a convenient form.
A few simple tricks. If the subsection and the information in it go on one line (for example, "Date of birth: dd.mm.yyyy.") It is better to separate them from each other with a tab. However, the information in the following sections should start at the same level. The helpers here are tabulator and space.
For example:
Looks better and feels more comfortable than:
Date of birth: dd.mm.yyyy.
Place of residence: Moscow
Marital status: Married
Before submitting your resume, you should view it from the monitor and, if possible, print it out. This will allow you to assess how convenient it will be to read it, whether the most significant information is striking. If something is wrong, you will have to redo it.
Instead of age, it is better to indicate the date of birth: you never know how life will turn out. Maybe you will work for another year or two in the same company in the same position and with the same range of responsibilities, and then send your resume with an outdated figure.
Employers usually perceive any inaccuracy in such a document as a manifestation of neglect and laziness. That does not add to their desire to communicate with the candidate noticed in this.
The same applies for grammatical and punctuation errors. Their presence in the resume often becomes a sufficient reason to put an end to the candidate. This happens even if he does not apply for the position of editor, proofreader, translator, typesetter or secretary, where one hundred percent literacy is required. At a minimum, when writing your resume, use the spell check option in your text editor. If you are filling out an online form, it is safer to type in the editor first and then copy. An important point: in all sections where there is a listing (responsibilities, achievements, additional information, personal qualities), after each item you need to put a semicolon. After the last - a point. This error is usually not recognized by the speller, but it matters. If achievements or responsibilities are exhausted by one point, a full stop is placed after it.
Variants from the series "I will search the work of a secretary-rifirend" or "I will be an ideal worker" - one hundred percent guarantee that the resume will go to the trash.

Work on bugs
The structure of the resume is generally correct, but it is better to indicate contact information immediately after the name. Experts also advise to highlight the name and contacts in a larger font - for ease of perception by the employer. Target... You need to indicate a specific position - as in the job description. In the case of Ivan Ivanov, this is especially important, since he works in a managerial position and also claims to be a managerial one. In this case, the applicant's willingness to consider lower-ranked positions will raise unnecessary doubts on the part of the employer.
Salary requirements should not be listed in this section.
There is no consensus on whether to indicate salary requirements in the resume, but many believe that it is better to save the topic of earnings until the interview, and in no case should it be the first to touch on it there.MirSovetov does not recommend to indicate in the resume everyday job titles, like "sysadmin". Better official, in in this case- "System Administrator".
work experience... Big problems are created by the position held at the last place of work and the range of responsibilities. The impression is that the applicant has either held two positions at the same time (which is unlikely), or rather have added something about their leadership experience.
If there is career growth within the company, MirSovetov recommends differentiating between the positions held by time and scope of responsibilities:
The impression on the one who will read the resume is completely different. It can be seen that the candidate quickly received a promotion in the company, which is an absolute plus.
When describing a managerial position, it is of great importance how many people were subordinate to the applicant. It is imperative to reflect this information.If during the work the applicant has developed some important for the organization of the program, this should be devoted to a separate sub-chapter "Achievements".
The candidate's description of responsibilities in the first place of work is not entirely correct. The fact that the intranet was created from scratch is better to devote a separate sub-chapter "Achievements":
Responsibilities:
- creation and support of an intranet
- control of the state of computers in the office and their software, prevention, if necessary
- diagnostics and technology and software.
Achievements:
- creation of an intranet from scratch and ensuring its smooth functioning.
MirSovetov recommends talking about the achievements within each of the positions held and not being modest. But the specifics are important here. The best impression on the employer will be made by the words “increased sales by 10%” than “significantly increased sales”.
After each place of work, it is advisable to indicate the city in parentheses.
An important point is that work experience does not always need to be fully described. The resume should take no more than an A4 page. This is the limiting volume, the shorter the better. Excess is fraught with sending the resume to the basket.
Work experience, on the other hand, can drag on to a much larger volume. MirSovetov recommends that candidates with extensive experience limit themselves to job descriptions for the last five to seven, maximum ten years.
If this experience does not sufficiently reflect some of the skills of the applicant that are in demand in the proposed position, they can be listed in the section on professional skills. Careful reading of the job description will help in this, especially the terms of reference for the proposed position.
Skills... There is no need to list everything, but focus on the relevant ones for the proposed position. Since the terms of reference of the manager presupposes, first of all, the setting of tasks for the performers and quality control of their work, in this example it is necessary to focus on this.
The skills should be listed in order from most significant to least. In this case, you need to start, of course, with the skills of a leader. If the candidate really wants to emphasize that he has not forgotten how to do the work of his subordinates himself and, if necessary, is ready to take on it himself, it is better to bring these skills at the end. 
Personal qualities... There is no consensus among recruiters regarding this section. However, many consider it pointless, since this is just a candidate, whose loyalty is often subject to verification only in the process.
Language proficiency does not belong to personal qualities, but is an additional and important skill that deserves a separate section or subsection in the "Additional Information" section, which is not in this example. Be sure to also indicate the level of language proficiency.
In any case, if you mention personal qualities, then list them not in one sentence, but one by one in a column, in a list format using bullet points (a bold point in front of each item on the list) - this is more convenient for perception.
The absence and willingness to travel will most likely be perceived as advantages, but a place for these qualities in the section on personal qualities or additional information.
The names and contacts of the referees do not need to be indicated in the resume. For the first acquaintance, the phrase in "Recommendations are provided upon request" is enough. But when it comes to recommendations, the employer should have an idea of where and in what position each referee works. If he changed jobs or takes another position, it must be emphasized at what time you worked under his leadership.

What we have in the bottom line. There is no only acceptable form of resume in nature, and the examples given cannot claim this role. There is also no consensus among recruiters about certain details: what should be included in a resume, and what should not be. And it is impossible to guess what views on this subject are held by the person who is going to read your resume. But what all employers and personnel officers have in common is that the resume should contain a clear answer whether the applicant is the specialist who is looking for a specific vacancy. And not take too much time looking for this answer.
In other words, a resume should at first glance inform about what you know how, where and how you honed your professional experience, what you have achieved. And be sure to be easy to read.
If it meets these requirements, they will not attach importance to some unprincipled things. For example, what you first reported about your education (but if the university you graduated from is credible), and then about your work experience or told about your personal qualities, which a particular recruiter considers superfluous. But, for example, grammatical errors or carelessness in the design (which, however, in itself reduces the ease of reading) is already a matter of principle.
The ability to write your resume correctly allows you to quickly get a job that would completely and completely suit you. Now a resume is an essential attribute of any applicant for a prestigious job. A well-written resume elevates you in the eyes of an employer and gives you a lot of advantages over other candidates for a vacant position.
Today we'll talk about how to write a resume correctly. However, in order not to waste time writing your own resume, you can contact a recruiting agency, to professionals, but this service is not free.
What is a resume for?
Dear Job Seekers, remember that a well-written resume is one of the most productive job search tools. When writing a resume, there are 3 main facts to keep in mind:
- You have only one chance to hook the employer at the moment when your resume is read. This usually takes no more than a few minutes. If it was not possible to attract the attention of the employer, then the resume did not work;
- When writing your resume, be creative. Include only information that is relevant to your position and the position you are applying for. In other words, a resume should be written for each employer.
For example, if you were a consultant in a large organization and at the same time engaged in scientific work, then you should not describe your scientific work and your labors. Rather, list the knowledge and skills you gained while doing counseling.
Getting your resume right gives you a good chance of getting the job you want.
- A successful resume can prompt an employer to meet with you in person and you may be invited for an interview. Therefore, you must present information about yourself in such a way that the employer wants to meet with you in person.
And if you are nervous before the interview, then our tips:
help you get rid of your fear.
How to write a resume correctly
How to write a resume for a job? Most of the applicants are concerned about this issue.
Each resume should consist of several blocks:
Contact Information
- Full name
- phone number
- your residential address
- marital status.
What to write in the resume goal
In this block, you should explain in 2-3 lines why you want to work in this particular organization and in this position.
What to write in work experience
In this block of resume your work experience in previous companies is written, starting from the last place of work. Write down consistently all the organizations where you have ever worked, indicating the year you entered the position and the year you left. For each job, briefly describe your responsibilities and accomplishments.
When describing your achievements, try to use verbs such as "saved", "increased", "reduced", "developed".
What to write in resume skills
In this block, you should describe in detail your professional skills and knowledge.
For example, if you are applying for the position of a sales manager, write that you have knowledge of various sales technologies and know how to attract new customers, also do not forget to indicate your level of personal computer skills.
If you are getting a job as a programmer, then indicate in this block a list of programs with which you had to work.
What to write in the "Education" block
Do not focus your employer's attention too much on education. The more time has passed after graduation, the less this block should be on your resume.
For example, students or graduates, this block should be placed in front of the previous one, since new graduates, even if they have work experience, is not significant.
When describing your education, you can mention the disciplines studied that are relevant to your goal or report the awards received.
What to write in the "Additional information" block
In the block "Additional information" you should write, for example:
- about knowledge of foreign languages, computer
- mention the presence of a driver's license
- you can write about your hobby, but only if it is related to the desired job.
What font to write a resume
In our century modern technologies, all resumes are printed on a computer, so the question arises as to what font to write the resume in.
Of course, you can distinguish yourself and print your resume with some designer handwritten typeface. However, many of these fonts are difficult to read, and the employer will not solve puzzles.
By using extravagant fonts in your resume, you will ensure that your resume will not be read to the end, which means you will not be able to interest the employer.
The most suitable fonts for writing a resume are Arial and Times New Roman.
What should be a resume
The most important resume should be short, specific, active. Avoid using the verbs "participated", "helped". By doing this, you confirm that you provided only one-time services. Also, avoid using the pronoun "I".
You should not use phrases in your resume:
- "I quickly learn new knowledge"
- "Helped to reduce errors"
- "Was engaged in training"
but you should write:
- "Reduced mistakes"
- "Trained two employees"
- "I mastered new technologies."

1. What is a resume and what is it for?
If you still do not quite understand what a resume is, I suggest defining it:
Summary- this is brief self-presentation in writing of your professional skills, achievements and personal qualities that you plan to successfully implement at your future job in order to receive compensation for them (for example, in the form of money or other type of compensation)
In the past, I myself had to write a resume when applying for a job. Indeed, without this, no employer will even know about you and your professional skills.
I remember when I sat down to write my resume for the first time, it took me a lot of time to competently draw up and arrange it according to all standards. And since I like to understand everything thoroughly, I studied the question of its correct spelling very deeply. To do this, I talked with professional HR specialists and studied a large number of articles on the topic.
Now I know how to write a resume correctly and will gladly share it with you.
I share with you samples of my resumes, which I myself wrote for myself:

So what is the secret of writing good resume? Read about it below.
2. How to write a resume correctly - 10 easy steps
Before moving on to the steps, I want you to remember 3 main rules for successful resume writing:
Rule # 1. Write the truth, but not the whole
Emphasize your strengths and don't mention your weaknesses too much. You will be asked about them at an interview, be prepared for this.
Rule # 2. Maintain a clear structure
The resume is written on 1-2 sheets, no more. Therefore, try to briefly and succinctly state all the necessary information in it, even if there is a lot of it.
Take care of the neat formatting of the resume text and its structured presentation. Since no one is pleased to read gibberish.
Rule # 3. Be optimistic and cheerful
Positive people attract success. In your case, a new job.
So, now let's move on to the structure of writing a resume.
Step 1. Title of the resume
Here you must write the word "Summary" and indicate who it was written for.
All this is written on one line.
For example: Resume of Ivanov Ivan Ivanovich
Then your potential employer will immediately understand who owns the resume. For example, you have previously called a company of interest to you in order to find out if they still have this vacancy open. You were given a positive answer and offered to send your resume.
At the end of the first step, your resume will look like this:
Step 2. The purpose of the resume
It must be remembered that your resume must have a purpose. Correctly formulate it as follows (phrase):
The purpose of the resume is to apply for the position of an accountant
Since at this moment you are called that - a job seeker, that is, a person looking for a job, potentially applying for it.
At the end of the second step, your resume will look like this:
Step 3. Applicant and his data
At this point, you must write the following:
- date of birth;
- address;
- contact number;
- e-mail;
- marital status.
At the end of step three, your resume should look like this:
Step 4. Education
If you have several entities, write them in order.
For example:
Moscow State University, 2005-2010,
Speciality: accountant (bachelor)
Moscow State University, 2007-2013,
Speciality: translator and interpreter in the field of professional communication (bachelor's degree)
At this stage, your resume should look like this:
Step 5. Work experience
Please note that the column "work experience" is written in the resume starting from the very last place of your work, if it is not the only one, and begins with the period spent in this position.
For example:
Position: chief accountant's assistant;
Position: accountant
So we have already written half of the resume, it should look like this:
Step 6. Job responsibilities
This item in the resume is not always required if the vacancy for which you are applying is quite widespread, and you held a similar position at a previous place of work.
Sometimes this item can be included in the previous one by writing your own job duties immediately after the post.
Step 7. Achievements in previous jobs
The item "Achievements" is one of the most important in the resume! It is much more important than education and even work experience.
Your potential employer wants to know what exactly he will pay you wages for. Therefore, it is very important to mention when writing a resume about all significant achievements in previous jobs. At the same time, please note that it is correct to write with words that are so-called "markers" for HR personnel considering your resume.
For example, it is correct to write:
- increased sales volumes by 30 percent in 6 months;
- developed and implemented new technology into production;
- cut equipment maintenance costs by 40%.
Wrong to write:
- worked on increasing sales;
- took part in a project to create a new technology;
- reduced equipment costs.
As you can see, it is also important to write specific numbers, as they very clearly reflect the essence of your achievements.
Your resume now looks something like this:
Step 8. Additional information
Here you need to describe your strengths, professional knowledge and skills that will directly help to better and better perform the tasks assigned to you at your new place of work.
Usually they write the following here:
- Computer skills and special programs. This is true for office workers and employees whose direct work is related to the PC. For example, for designers, accountants, programmers, office managers.
- Knowledge of foreign languages. If your future job involves reading, translating or communicating in a foreign language and you know it to a certain extent, be sure to write about it. For example: English spoken.
- Car and driving skills. If your work involves business trips and you often have to drive a car, for example, working as a sales representative, then you should indicate the presence of your car, as well as the category of driver's license and experience.
Thus, in the additional information, along with knowledge of a computer and a foreign language, write: there is a personal car, category B, 5 years of experience.
Step 9. Personal qualities
There is no need to describe too many qualities here, especially if they do not apply to your future work. You can be a kind and sympathetic person, loving children and respecting your friends, but a potential employer will not be interested in reading about your “cordiality” and a rich inner world.
For example, if you are applying for the position of an accountant, it would be good to write here: composure, attentiveness, punctuality, efficiency, mathematical mindset, ability to analyze.
If you are applying for a more creative profession, say, a designer or creator, then here you should indicate: a developed creative imagination, a sense of style, a non-standard view of the problem, healthy perfectionism.
It will be great if you mention your full name at the end of your resume. and the positions of your previous managers, as well as indicate their contact numbers so that your potential employer or his representative could ascertain your professionalism, having received feedback about you from your previous direct managers.
Even if your potential employer will not call your former managers, the very fact of having contacts for recommendations will significantly increase his trust in you.
At the very end of the resume, you must indicate at what time you are ready to start work, here you can also indicate the desired level of remuneration.
