To “grab” the desired position, you need to provide your employer with a good quality resume written in short and clear. Today we’ll talk about how to draw up such a document for an IT specialist.
What to write in the main points?
The resume of an IT specialist in its composition is not much different from the resume of an ordinary employee, for example, a grocery store seller. Blocks in both cases are the same. Firstly, it’s your personal data that will simply show the employer that you are you and not someone else. Here you need to indicate your last name, first name, middle name, date of birth (in a format convenient for you, for example, 01.01.2001), contact information (mobile phone and / or e-mail).
Secondly, you need to tell the employer about your level of education, as well as previous jobs. As for the places of study, they are written in direct sequence, if there are several. Places of previous work are indicated in descending order, that is, first the place where you last worked, and at the end - the company with which you just started your journey.
Thirdly, many employers consider your accomplishments as well as recommendations from previous jobs to be the most important point. Agree, even if you yourself were a leader, you would like to see such an employee for whom other companies would fight and advise him. Speaking about achievements, it can include a lot of things, for example, you proposed an idea, thanks to which production increased three times. This is a very significant factor.
You can complete all this with a description of your main personal qualities, as well as a small amount of additional information that will be useful to your employer. Note that in personal qualities you need to write what will affect the work process, for example: stress resistance, composure, responsibility, but in no case kindness and the like.
Additional information, although it is considered a secondary item, however, has a great influence on the selection of a suitable candidate. These include PC skills, having rights and a personal car, other skills that will set you apart from the mass of other candidates.
Covering letter
Writing a resume is only half the story. Now it’s quite relevant to attach special cover letters with a resume. Abroad, such a practice is an integral part, and we only put it into circulation.
When writing a cover letter, you need to consider several features:
- the letter should be short and clear;
- The idea that you want to convey (for example, the desire to get the position of an IT specialist) should be clearly expressed;
- your work experience (1-3 sentences);
- contact details and some additional information about yourself (the first is necessary for communication, and additional information will help the employer to make a complete picture of you).
The purpose of such a letter is to make it clear to your employer in a short period of time that you are the specialist he needs.
Mistakes
Consider the main mistakes made by "newcomers" in the process of writing their first resume. Often these errors can be avoided if you know about them in advance.
- Detailing data. This is a fairly common mistake that most beginners make. The employer absolutely does not want to read a long water summary - he needs only specific facts about the applicant.
- Grammar. This point may turn out to be obvious, but it is precisely the grammatical errors that most often face the employer. There is no room for error - such resumes are immediately sent to the trash. It is better to re-read your resume several times or let it be examined by a trusted person.
- Fictional data. Do you really know all twelve foreign languages? Are you really traveled the whole globe? Is your salary always above one hundred thousand rubles? If your answer is relatively positive, then you should review your resume. Often the employer checks all the dubious facts about you, and if something is false there, then you can say goodbye to this place of work and get a bad recommendation.
- Invalid contact details. Carefully check all your contacts, as it will be very sad if you come up, but it will not work to contact you.
