How to make a good resume

The resume is your business card, so in general terms it is important:

* Assemble an organized layout.

* Make a concise and assertive text.

* Split all content into small blocks.

* Review the entire text. Do not even think about making a misspelling or grammar.

What to put on the resume

Some data is critical to any resume, regardless of whether you have professional experience or not. Milie Haji, R & S Project Manager at Civilian Talent Group comments: "The resume is the first impression a recruiter will get from you." Check out the tips:

Updated personal data: Full name, date of birth (if you put the age, you can not forget to update year after year), a city where you live, email and contact numbers (mainly cellular). If you are leaving a message, do not forget to tell your relative or friend. Ever wondered if your resume is chosen, the recruiter calls and hears from those who attend: "Ah! He is like that, always forget the cell phone! ". In this situation, we will combine, the candidate being eliminated in 3,2,1.

Professional Objective: Is this the most important field on your resume and why? It is where the recruiter hits the eye and finds out if he has the right resume in hand or still or if he can still direct it to other areas or people if that is the case. Write alone: Marketing does not help! You need to be clear if you are Trainee, Analyst, Manager, Marketing Director, for example.

Academic Background: Always place the most current course to the oldest course. If you did five colleges you also do not need to put them all together. Only the two most recent ones is enough.

Professional Experiences: Just like in the field "Academic Formation" from the most recent to the oldest and do not need to put all. Ever imagined a professional with 20 years of experience in various companies describing all this? It will stop being a curriculum and become a book. In addition, it is essential to put dates, position, responsibilities and most importantly: results! The facts and figures will show who you are, the achievements you've made, the goals you've achieved. If you have numeric data, put it. Example: responsible for a team of X employees; Participated in project X and achieved an X% increase in the number of customers.

Number of Pages: If you are a professional with less than 5 years of experience, a page is more than enough. For those who have more years of experience, it is important to select the most relevant information and search insert in two pages. After all, we'll leave your full story for an interview, will not we? It will be a more timely moment.

Tips for those who do not have much professional experience

When you have little or no professional experience, some information becomes relevant and can be your great differential over another candidate. Therefore, put in place of "professional experience" activities such as:

Voluntary work: It is an experience highly valued by companies.

Courses: They will show that you are a person who always seeks to learn and improve.

Group Activities: It is worth your performance in the Academic Center, in the Athletic, in Musical Bands, or even your experience as an athlete.

Course Conclusion Work: Yes, include the famous CBT. After all, he was part of his development and professional training. Comment on the theme developed the challenges and the end result.

Extra project: If by chance, you have written a book, have a YouTube channel, a blog or something, it is worth inserting into the curriculum, including the URL. This values the candidate and can be a great differential.

The layout of these elements in your resume will depend on your professional momentum. Later we offer models of curricula according to the professional experience of each one.

What to avoid in the curriculum

In this Akken Cloud infographic, you can visualize what to do and what to avoid in the curriculum. Generally speaking, to avoid a flurry that wipes out your resume as soon as the first second, avoid:

Put a photo: As beautiful as you are, do not even think about doing this, the resume is not a social network profile.

Lie: Remember the saying "lie has a short leg"? Yes, it is very valid for your resume. Never lie. Ever wondered if you do not have fluency in English and put in your resume that speaks fluently to give that valued. Then you are called to interview and the interviewer asks questions in the language that you have no idea how to respond. It's going to be very annoying, is not it?

Use a non- professional email: Let's agree that it is difficult for the recruiter to take seriously a candidate who has an email such as sodebaladas@email.com or gatinha2013@email.com.

Inform the documents: RG number, CPF, work card, voter's title need not be included in your resume.

Include personal details: Write about your appearance, kinship or other information from your personal life, are not relevant at the time you are applying for a job.

Salary history: You do not have to pay your last salary or your last salary. Only on the day of the interview do you discuss this with the recruiter, should he ask.

Do not put objective: Have you ever heard Lewis Carroll's phrase: "If you do not know where you want to go, anyway is good"? It is important that you put the position and the area in which you want to act. With some important recommendations: Do not flatter the company with superlative adjectives. One example: "I intend to work in the magnificent sales area of this extraordinary company". Be direct, okay? Another thing, your goal needs to be aligned with your professional experience or training. Nothing to use it as a stepping stone. There's no problem with you always acting as a stockbroker and wanting to be the CEO of the company, but have that as your goal, which does not need to be put into the curriculum's goal, okay?

Do not include start and end dates: This information is very important for the recruiter to have an idea of their time in a company. Always try to put them on.

Put an avalanche of courses: Those who do not have professional experience can and should enter the courses that did. But that does not mean that you will put the 200 courses you have done in the last year, from cutting and sewing to origami classes. Be concise, place only the most relevant courses, informing the name of the course, institution, month and year of completion.

Use fancy fonts: Remember it's a resume and not the folder of an amazing party. Use fonts that are enjoyable to read. What you need to call attention to is your competence and experience and not the source of the curriculum, right?

Include spreadsheets: Okay if you went through twenty companies in ten different countries, but the curriculum is not a school work. See how best to organize all information assertively, but do not even consider including a spreadsheet.

Subscribe: Do not give an "autograph" on your resume. Signing it is totally dispensable.

Do not review your resume: Review your resume and ask someone else to read it as well. Making grammatical or spelling mistakes can be unforgivable. After all it will show that, besides you not having mastery of your native language, it is still careless, as it has not reviewed your resume. The excuse of "typing error" has not gone long enough.
