Raising awareness based on resume

It is not just the current situation that may make us look for work. If we desire something again, something different, a different medium, we think that perhaps our current position is not the most ideal. There may be several reasons behind this, but if the idea is ripe in us, or the compulsion brings us to the point where we have to look for a new job, we will reach for our CV, motivation letter.

More routine job seekers will probably have an existing resume who does not yet have a resume, they will probably want to make it as showy as possible in order to have a greater interest in each job applied for.

A resume is a reading of our lives, and even if we can’t find out everything, but it outlines some pictures of our background, professional knowledge, and experience. Content is what matters, that is, the qualifications, schools, skills and abilities that we have and that are also included in the resume. But a photo can also be very eloquent. It is no accident that many employers ask for photo resumes. With a good photo, we can make a deeper impression than what is described in the CV. And if our competence together with the photo shows a good overall picture, there is a much better chance that if our CV gets into the hands of the employer, our name will also grab much faster. The importance of the image cannot therefore be underestimated. What will be appealing will not be the artistic, exaggerated autobiographical photo, but the natural but formal image.

Our resume should be prepared with relevant content. It may contain a lot of nice and extra information, but if it doesn’t cover the reality, the employer may soon realize the shortcoming. Even during the recruitment interview, during the interview, the employer may realize that we have pinned the resume full of false facts. It is even more inconvenient if the employer encounters a lack of competencies after starting work.

All important stages of professional experience should be mentioned in the CV, but we should refrain from burdening the CV with too much and useless information. This also means that too much and inappropriate information, which is annoying to the job advertiser as well, will deter you from choosing. The aesthetics of the resume should also be considered. Be transparent, airy. Refrain from using a wide variety of colors, from congestion.

The CV gives a picture of us, but in the cover letter we can already express why we want to get the job. It should also be a concise, yet reflective, letter of motivation that stays throughout the topic of why we are best placed to fill that particular job, as we could strengthen the team, all without commonplaces and self-polishing.
