not yet? Even said that there are very few opportunities to get interviews?

Then, you should probably take a good look at your resume!

[Liaoge] I have worked in human resources for 15 years and have seen countless resumes, including excellent resumes and problem resumes.

Here, share with you:

Taboos of resume making, and taboos of resume filling:

[1] Taboos in resume making:

It is said that a resume is a stepping stone to a job search, which is not false at all.

Without a suitable resume for the job position, you can't get an interview unless you "have someone on it"!

Therefore, the production of resumes is particularly important. How to make resumes has already been shared in a Q&A in the past.

Here, we only speak of taboos:

> > Taboo 1: Avoid incomplete basic information >

I have participated in on-site job fairs many times and have encountered such situations many times:

The resume of the job seeker is very in line with the job requirements, but due to the negligence of the recruiter, the contact information has not been confirmed with the job seeker, and the contact number or email address cannot be found on the resume...

It is a pity that due to the "disconnection" of these job seekers, I was not able to meet them.

Therefore, don't forget to leave contact information on your resume.

Of course, there are other basic information such as:

Gender, we often encounter, the gender is not reflected in the resume, we can only guess from the name;

Education, perhaps some job seekers are too low-key, omitting education and colleges, you know, this is important information;

……

In short, the basic information must be complete, name, gender, age (date of birth), place of origin, education, marital status, contact information (including telephone, email, address, etc.)…

> > Taboo 2: Avoid photos that are too lifelike >

For most companies, recruiting is a serious matter that requires job seekers to treat them with rigor.

Posting your life photos on your resume seems a bit arbitrary, unless you're applying for art, performance, outreach, etc.

In the past, I have often received resumes like this:

The photo of the job applicant is too blurry to see who it is;

The people in the photo are either wearing sunglasses or pulling down the brim of their hats, making it difficult to see the five views; (Is this playing a mystery?)

……

In fact, we only need a half-length close-up photo that can clearly see what the job seeker looks like.

> > Taboo 3: Avoid long speeches >

Resume Resume, the most expensive is "simple".

Many times, the resumes we receive are like a magazine or an e-book.

You know, HR needs to screen N resumes and may not have time to read books!

If your resume is not focused and you need HR to find the key points in your vast sea of ​​words, then you will lose a lot of interview opportunities.

Therefore, whether it is a paper version of a resume or an electronic version of the resume, we must pursue "simplification".

Maybe you have a lot of works, you might as well share them with HR in the form of links or thumbnails!

> > Taboo 4: Avoid exaggerating >

It is undeniable that personal resumes need to be packaged.

However, in the description of resumes, achievements, and successful cases, do not exaggerate.

When your resume doesn't match the facts, even if you get an interview, it may be ripped off during an interview.

Exaggeration, sometimes it's just "exaggeration", and sometimes it's suspected of "fake".

Therefore, the resume content needs to respect and conform to objective facts.

> > Taboo 5: Avoid being too fancy >

A resume can be expressed in a variety of forms, such as: a simple PPT, a mind map, a creative design of an image...

However, that doesn't mean your resume can be run wild.

A resume that is too fancy will bring visual interference and is not conducive to HR reading.

When HR is focusing on your background image or the decoration of your resume, rather than the content of your resume, perhaps, you have lost the opportunity to interview again.

Therefore, before submitting your resume, please check whether you have committed the above taboos.

We may not be able to make our resumes stand out, but we also can't dig holes in our resumes.

[2] Taboos for filling in resumes:

Most employers require job seekers to fill in an application form during the interview. Here, we also talk about the taboos of filling in the application form.

> > Taboo 1: Avoid flying dragons and phoenixes >

A person's handwriting is cultivated from childhood, at least, in a long period of time.

So, not everyone's handwriting is so beautiful.

Having seen too many strange handwritings of job applicants, HR has basically come to an understanding of some ugly handwritings.

After all, now is the era of mobile Internet and electronic office, and there are many fewer opportunities to write.

However, when filling out your resume, you must not be in a hurry.

I have seen some job seekers who wrote a lot of words that HR could not understand. When I checked with the TA, I didn't even understand myself.

The handwriting is not good-looking, but during the filling process, you must let HR see your attitude.

> > Taboo 2: Avoid chaotic layout >

Table space is limited after all.

Many job seekers do not think ahead when filling out their resumes. When filling in some content, they cannot do it just right, resulting in a chaotic layout, sometimes loose and sometimes crowded.

Such an application form is obviously to be deducted by the interviewer.

> > Taboo 3: Don't change it at will >

Arbitrary corrections can only show that you did not think well when filling in, or that you are unable to understand your resume.

Too many corrections can easily make HR disgusted.

If you have filled in the wrong form due to negligence, you may wish to get a new form from HR and fill it out again.

> > Taboo 4: Avoid inconsistency with the delivery of resumes >

There are often such job seekers who fill in an application form that does not match the resume information delivered online.

The most common is that the tenure in the original unit does not match.

Inconsistency is a taboo when applying for jobs.

> > Taboo 5: Avoid incomplete filling >

Too often, job seekers think:

I have already submitted the electronic version of my resume, or I have brought my resume, and filling out the application form is unnecessary;

I am applying for an executive, why do I have to fill out such a low application form?

……

What needs to be explained here is that unless you have particularly proud capital, unless you have an indifferent attitude towards this job search, you may need to respect the employer's recruitment rules.

Filling out the application form completely is also a kind of respect.

Maybe you think that some of the contents in the application form involve personal privacy and are unwilling to fill in, then, please fill in the other parts completely!

A resume, an application form, all reflect a job seeker's style, attitude, person, way of thinking...

So, don't overlook the importance of resumes and application forms!

Have you dug yourself a hole in your resume in your job search?
