Resume do not cheat, resume do not fault!
Make a false resume, anyway also can’t check out, never have this kind of idea! It’s okay to polish your resume, but you should never fake it, and you should never put yourself in a position where your credibility is questionable just to get an interview!
Don’t forget to write a resume just because your previous career wasn’t good enough or doesn’t have anything to do with the industry you want to work in. Your resume is your asset, whether it’s positive or negative. The mark of maturity of a young man is that he can accept his own, but also willing to take responsibility of their own!
HR has seen so many resumes with gaps in their resumes that they know there are gaps! Unless you have something that impreses HR that she wants to talk to you about what you’ve been doing for the last few years, Pass!
2. Talk to someone who’s already in the job and ask what the company’s core needs are for that position.
I see a lot of big V teach people to write career resume is the first from xx channel XX website to find JD, JD analysis, I feel a little ridiculous, can only say that this is a very idealized logic!
JD has never been the trump card of recruitment. Smaller companies need to recruit dozens of positions in a quarter, while larger companies need to recruit hundreds of positions. Is JD written by employing departments one by one? Most of them are the departments of choose and employ persons to inform the core needs, HR to find someone else’s JD to change it will be sent to the recruitment website, and sometimes even change not to change, so there will often be a company’s recruitment JD to write in line with the values of another company this copy operation does not change the name of the overturned event!
What’s the point of your THOROUGH JD analysis?! Can you get a good chance by applying your past experience to your target position JD? It’s pure fantasy! HR is not stupid. No matter how many keywords you have on your resume, your work experience doesn’t prepare you for the problem solving skills of your target position. Why should I hire you? It’s like when I hire a ballerina, I want someone who has ballet skills, not someone who dresses up like a ballerina.
What is the core demand that the enterprise recruits this post, what problem needs him to solve, this is the key! Since you want to switch careers to this position, why don’t you talk to someone who’s already in this position? Doesn’t the person in this position know their job responsibilities better than HR or JD? When you know the job’s responsibilities, isn’t it more realistic to prepare yourself for a career change?
3. Explain why you changed your career and what you did to prepare for it.
Change industry is not terrible, terrible is change industry without planning! Most professions pay attention to practice makes perfect, most of the people who have competitiveness in the market are in a certain field accumulated over a long period of time to precipitate out of their own methodology and eventually become a person!
For enterprises, people without long career development are not worthy of trust and cultivation! You’ll win more interviews by showing why you made the change, what you plan to do, and what you did to prepare for it.
With past achievements to highlight their soft quality, with soft quality to prove their potential!
The requirements of each position can be divided into two aspects: on the one hand, hard strength refers to professional skills, such as the coding ability of programmers and the lecturing ability of trainers; On the other hand is the soft quality, is to do most of the work to have the common skills, but also transferable skills, such as do a good job in sales necessary diligent persistence, do a good job in skilled workers necessary to bear hardships and stand hard work.
What makes career changers most risky for companies is hard strength, because “experience cannot be reused” and “trial and error costs are high”. At the same time, the enterprise is willing to give the opportunity to the person who changes career often because this person has the soft quality to let the enterprise not stick to one pattern and healthy talent place!
So when you want to step into a new industry, the hard skills of the target position is not comprehensive enough, when writing a resume might as well work hard on the soft quality! Write clearly about your past achievements, highlighting soft qualities that have enabled you to excel, such as logic, industry awareness, attitude, drive, execution, and teamwork. Make sure the reader recognizes your track record and your potential in a new field!
Note: flatly saying you have a certain ability is unilateral boasting and gives the impression that you feel good about yourself or that you have a very high opinion of yourself! It is best to add data to the description to support the words, increase the convincing force. For example, if you say you have strong sales ability and are good at customer communication, you can say that the per capita annual sales of your previous company is 100 million yuan, and my personal annual sales is 10 million yuan, ranking first in the branch company and third in the head office. At the same time, because OF my unremitting efforts to win the company has been unable to get 5 KA customers, the company awarded me the “Annual Most Potential New Talent award”.
5. Expect a modest salary reduction
In the face of any discerning people seem to be losing money when the business, the enterprise is always particularly sober, recruit people who change careers is also so! The enterprise hires a person who changes profession, pays salary every month but not necessarily can get corresponding return, may just give this person practice, this is the risk that the enterprise should assume. Career changers accept discounted salaries to get into new industries. That’s the price of career change!
The choice is two-way, the risk is also two-way, each other to assume a part of the risk, is not conducive to clinch a deal? So instead of letting your resume fall on deaf ears, lower your salary expectations to get more interviews!
Real cases:
I am to do Java development, after graduation in technical post take office for a year and a half, after come out alone start a business for 3 years, start a business after failure come back to find a job afresh, I this kind of experience apply for technical post can be very adverse? How to break through this dilemma? Would it be better for me to make products in this situation? What I am worried about now is that many companies do not recognize my previous work experience, or they prefer to recognize that my work experience after graduation has been in technical development until now.
Analysis:
1. Selection of functions
Choose a job based on what you like to do and what you are good at doing. Choosing a technical role or a product role depends on what you are interested in, as well as your skills and responsibilities in entrepreneurship.
The dilemma you will encounter when you choose technical functions is that you cannot prove your ability after the hasty transition from executive post to management post, and you choose product functions to face the problem that you have to change industries after the transition, the latter is more difficult to solve than the former! Don’t make a mistake about the difficulties you may face and switch functions, this kind of imprudence will only bring more trouble!
2. Job selection
From the description, your inner function is technology first and product second best. My suggestion is to choose technical post, and it is basic technical management post. Can’t really find the right technology management post opportunity, then consider the front-line development post.
3, resume matters needing attention
Concerns companies may have when they see your resume:
(1) Technical post for a year and a half, which is far from the time for a developer to lay a solid foundation. The company’s requirements for front-line technical posts are generally good, so it must be “more recognized after graduation has been doing technology development to continue until now”! Companies are worried about whether your basic skills are not solid.
(2) grassroots entrepreneurs in the process of entrepreneurship due to limited investment capital usually a person with many corners, will you do things too complicated and lead to the accumulation of technology is not deep enough?
One and a half years of career experience, belong to the very young entrepreneurs. To put it another way, you don’t have enough experience in the workplace as a front-line employee, and you’ve been in the boss’s role for three years. Will you be out of the front-line? Return to the front line can put a flat mentality, obey management?
In the resume to write clearly their own business to do what projects, exercise what ability, entrepreneurial review and perception, return to the workplace what planning, guide the enterprise from the experience and growth of the perspective to look at your resume, to dispel the enterprise you have no progress for three years of concern, improve your odds of reversing the wind!
Be sure to avoid expressing anxiety and negativity in your resume wording! Don’t worry about all that, unless you really didn’t do anything technical during your startup! Don’t use your opinion as a yardstick for hiring, or you won’t be looking for a job at all! Strike yourself, is always their prejudices and pessimistic assumptions!
Finally, I wish every career change can be plain sailing, early to reach the goal!
I am the queen of headhunting, welcome to pay attention to.
