Что указать в резюме в дополнительной информации о себе

 

Всегда здравствуйте, дорогой друг!

Когда приступил к написанию этой  статьи, вспомнил фразу: «Вы можете молчать, иначе то, что вы будете говорить, может быть истолковано против вас». Кажется, так говорят полицейские в американских фильмах. Это изречение желательно помнить, когда решаете, что указать в резюме в дополнительной информации.

Это не означает, что не нужно писать ничего. В этой статье и поговорим о том, что стоит писать в это разделе, а что нет.

Давайте посмотрим структуру резюме на работном сайте.

Типичная структура резюме на работном сайте

Например, на Хедхантере:

1. Личные данные
2. Желаемая должность и зарплата
3. Образование
4. Опыт работы

• компании, период работы, должность, обязанности, функции, достижения
• ключевые навыки
• обо мне (ваше хобби, личные качества, любая дополнительная информация)
• рекомендации
• портфолио

 

Полагаю, не нужно быть семи пядей во лбу, чтобы понять, что в раздел дополнительная информация или “Обо мне”, как на Хедхантере, следует заносить то, что не входит в другие разделы. И напрямую не относиться не к ключевым навыкам, не профессиональным обязанностям и достижениям.

Раздел  расположен в самом подвале.  Это наводит на мысль, что он менее важен, чем другие разделы. Отчасти это так. Но если преподнести информацию с умом, можно извлечь максимум выгоды.

Что не нужно писать о себе

Типичные ошибки:

Некоторые люди “пуляют” свои наспех состряпанные резюме куда надо и куда не надо десятками.

Главная ошибка многих кандидатов — писать в дополнительной информации все, что в голову взбредет.

Например:  

• Различные хобби, которые вряд ли вас положительно  охарактеризуют с точки зрения вакансии и  работы, которую от вас ожидают.
• Не следует писать то, о чем вы напишете в сопроводительном письме. А именно, чем вас заинтересовала вакансия, чем вы конкретно будете полезны компании.
• Категорически не следует писать о причинах ухода с предыдущих мест и как-то это комментировать.
• Не рекомендую писать в этом разделе о профессиональных достижениях. Для них — раздел «опыт работы». Подробнее в этой статье.

Главное правило — в резюме не должно просматриваться никакого негатива. У вас есть проблемы и недостатки, как и у любого другого человека, но о них вы расскажете на собеседовании. Если спросят.

Цель Резюме — получить приглашение на собеседование. Все должно быть чисто, не надо “дразнить гусей”.

Не рекомендую писать о таких вещах как  жилищные условия, отсутствие каких-то документов, вероисповедание.

Избегайте того, что может быть воспринято неоднозначно и истолковано против вас.

Что следует писать в разделе «Обо мне»

Оговорюсь, — все пункты, которые мы рассмотрим ниже, писать не обязательно. Достаточно 2-3 пунктов, наиболее важных по вашему мнению.

1. Личные качества

Об этом мы подробно говорили  в статье Что и как нужно писать в резюме о себе?

Повторю, — не следует просто перечислять слова, набившие оскомину. Гораздо лучше придумать более содержательные формулировки.

Пример:

 

• Вместо коммуникабельность — стремлюсь выстраивать рабочие отношения  на основе доверия и взаимного уважения.
• Вместо «ответственность» — незамедлительно реагирую на возникающие в работе трудности. Самостоятельно принимаю меры к их устранению.
• Вместо «дисциплинированность» — принимаю и следую стандартам поведения, принятым в компании и коллективе.

Это скорее образец, лучше подобрать свои уникальные формулировки.

Важная деталь: если в описании вакансии есть требования или пожелания к личным качествам, формулировку в резюме включаем ту же, что и в описании.

Например, в описании вакансии пожелание к кандидату — коммуникабельность. Это ключевое слово. Его включаем в резюме. И пишем, как мы это понимаем. Смысл в том, что поиск резюме иногда рекрутер ведет по ключевым словам.

Если что-то непонятно — задайте вопрос в комментариях.

2. Привычки. На самом деле привычки и есть то, что делает нас такими, какие мы есть.

Привычка доводить дело до логического конца. Привычка воспринимать проблемы как вызовы. Привычка работать с качеством, превышающим ожидания.

Наиболее ценные привычки я даже рекомендую включать в раздел “ключевые навыки”, просто потому, что ему рекрутерами уделяется больше внимания.

На худой конец, если у вас нет вредных привычек — почему бы не написать об этом. Воспользуйтесь такой возможностью, иногда это важно.

3.  Деловые связи. Участие в профессиональных сообществах, другие полезные сети контактов. Волонтерские начинания, имеющие отношение к работе. Даже участие в родительском комитете школы может свидетельствовать о вашей активной позиции

5. Наличие прав, загранпаспорта и т.п. также будет не лишним при условии, если это может пригодиться в работе.

6. Хобби. Можно указать, если это как-то вас характеризует. Например, автор этих строк иногда писал: мастер спорта СССР по шахматам. Как-никак звание.  Многим людям и работодатели не исключение, это интересно. Был просто любителем шахмат, — не стал бы писать.

7. Опознавательный знак

Рекомендую найти запоминающуюся формулировку. Это может быть личное качество.

Например, автор этих строк одно время использовал такой пассаж “Бешенность к результату”. Подробнее можно посмотреть в этой статье.

Смысл в том, что очень важно обратить на себя внимание,  вызвать интерес, запомниться. Только не переусердствуйте, ваш опознавательный знак должен звучать оригинально, но корректно.

Такая “бешенность” выгодно выделит вас на фоне безликой массы “коммуникабельных”  и “работоспособных” кандидатов, не утруждающих себя хоть как-то пошевелить мозгами при составлении резюме. Заверяю вас, как рекрутер со стажем.

90000 Resume Writing: Additional Information and References 90001 90002 Lesson 8: Additional Information and References 90003 90004 / en / resumewriting / education-information / content / 90005 90006 Additional information and references 90007 90004 Resumes focus on your previous job experiences. However, there may be times when including a skill or accomplishment that was gained outside of your work history could greatly influence a hiring manager. For example, did you win 90009 City Volunteer of the Year 90010 for your work with a homeless shelter? Or perhaps you have a useful language skill, such as being 90009 fluent in Spanish 90010.There is a place for these types of things 90013 — 90013 as well as a spot to include references if you choose 90013 — 90013 on your resume. 90005 90004 In this lesson, you will 90009 determine what type of additional information is appropriate 90010 to include on your resume. 90005 90004 Watch the video below to learn what to include in the skills section of your resume. 90005 90004 90025 90026 90005 90002 Additional skills and information 90003 90004 Sometimes you may want to include additional information about yourself that comes from outside of your education and work history.For example, you may want to include your fluency in another language, a special community project you coordinated or managed, or maybe even your technology skills outside of what you included in your employment history. 90005 90004 So where do you include additional skills and information on your resume? Here are some options. 90005 90034 90035 Sometimes your work history will indicate your computer competency, but if it is not obvious you may want to list your 90009 computer skills 90010 separately.90009 90010 Many jobs require basic computer skills and knowledge of 90009 Microsoft Office 90010, so 90009 90043 90010 it may be important to let a hiring manager know you have these skills. Some positions require knowledge of 90009 industry-specific computer programs 90010. For example, a graphic artist may be expected to know 90009 Photoshop 90010 and 90009 Illustrator 90010, so they should list these skills on their resume. 90051 90052 90004 90005 90034 90035 Some positions require specific 90009 technical skills 90010 that are common in a particular industry.For example, a contractor would be expected to be able to read blueprints, prepare bid paperwork, operate construction equipment, and understand OSHA safety procedures. In this sample, 90009 technical skills are considered a priority 90010 and are listed with certifications and 90009 placed at the top of the resume 90010 under the summary. Where you place your additional information may depend on what priority your industry gives to knowing certain skills. 90051 90052 90034 90035 You may want to list any 90009 associations 90010 you are affiliated with, especially if they are a 90009 standard in your industry 90010.For example, most marketing professionals in the United States probably belong to the 90009 American Marketing Association 90010. Associations also indicate that 90009 you take your career pursuits seriously 90010 and that you are 90009 educated about the latest trends and standards 90010 that pertain to your industry and interests. 90051 90052 90034 90035 90009 Additional information 90010 may include 90009 civic activities 90010, 90009 awards and recognitions 90010, 90009 volunteering 90010, or 90009 cultural skills 90010 like language or travel 90009.90010 It may also include other interests or activities that may show 90009 leadership 90010, 90009 character 90010, or 90009 qualities you feel are beneficial to your career 90010. For example, if you are looking for a job in the health care industry, listing your 90009 yoga certification 90010 indicates that you are likely a health advocate and leader. You should use good judgment when including additional information on your resume. 90009 Information should be related to your career 90010 and should not be personal, religious, recreational, or political in nature.90051 90052 90002 References 90003 90004 If an employer is considering hiring you, he may ask you to supply a list of references. A 90009 reference 90010 is a person who, if asked, is willing to discuss your skills, abilities, job performance, and general character. Potential employers contact these references and ask questions about your skills, duties, dependability, and / or productivity. 90005 90004 In most of the United States, your previous managers and the human resources department can only confirm dates of employment, not talk about your performance, so your references should not include previous supervisors.90005 90004 Include their contact information, job title, and a brief description of how they are familiar with your work habits. Never include a family member as a reference unless you have worked with this person in a professional capacity. 90005 90004 It is always a good idea to make sure each of your references is aware that he may be called to discuss your skills and abilities. You may even want to provide references with a description of the job you are trying to get so each can talk about those specific skills and other requirements.90116 90005 90004 To improve your chances of getting a job, choose references who: 90005 90034 90035 Are educated 90051 90035 Are well-spoken 90051 90035 Are thoroughly familiar with your skills and abilities 90051 90035 Have a mutually respectful relationship with you 90051 90035 Will speak positively about your work performance or work 90051 90052.90000 25+ Information Technology (IT) Resume Examples for 2020 90001 90002 An information technology professional resume sample is just around the corner. 90003 90002 90003 90002 But first, think about this: 90003 90002 90003 90002 Diagnosing system malfunctions.

A second personal statement 90004 90005 90006 While some counselors argue that the Additional Info section is a GREAT place to put a whole essay, I side with those who feel like this section should be reserved for, well, additional information. The exception is those 50 to 100ish-word statements that add factual, succinct context or information (see tip # 7 above). 90007 90006 «When we see that a student has completed the additional information section, we surmise that the student has something to share that could not fit anywhere else in the application,» says Patricia Peek, Ph.D., Dean of Undergraduate Admission at Fordham. «If a student takes the time to complete this section, it should signal that the content is important. This is also a good place to share context about an element, or elements, of the submission that may need explanation (change in grades, extra activities not reflected or lack of activities, etc.). We do not ask for an extra essay, but even if we did we would not see this section as a place for that type of response. » 90007 90002 90003 2. Details that show you might be overly obsessed with academic perfection 90004 90005 90006 If you have straight As, or near straight As, and you got a B + in one class, do not explain that B +.Why? It may backfire, revealing qualities that are not super flattering. It’s like when you walk into someone’s house and it’s in immaculate condition (but it’s clear someone has cleaned the place recently) and they’re like, «Sorry the place is such a mess …» and you’re thinking, 90015 Come on, 90016 really? 90007 90002 90003 3. Excuses 90004 90005 90006 If something happened during high school that might raise a red flag on your application or transcript and it’s appropriate to take responsibility, do so! But do not make it sound like you’re whining.Make sure to confidently and matter-of-factly explain the problem. Example: 90007 90024 90006 90015 «Freshman year I was not ready for the rigorous course load of high school. Because of this, my grades during the first semester do not reflect my true potential. Second semester I worked hard to develop new study habits and became more disciplined. As a result, I brought my grades up. » 90016 90007 90029 90006 You can take responsibility in many ways — this is just one way. 90007 90006 If you can not give a good explanation for something (e.g., you got a bad grade in math because you did not like your teacher, you dropped football because you wanted to chill more during the summer), it may be better to not mention it at all. Will the reader wonder about that thing? Maybe. But if you really can not come up with a good reason, maybe do not write anything. 90007 90002 90003 4. An overly complex abstract from a scientific paper 90004 90005 90006 Telling the reader that you worked with metastatic malignant neoplasm involving the cervical region of the esophagus may not mean that much without context.If you’re going to share information that sounds like it might be from an abstract, consider offering a short explanation. 90007 90006 A small exception to this rule: you can use 90015 a little 90016 geeky language to explain the particulars, especially if applying to a highly specialized program. But just a little. 90007 90024 90006 90015 Example: I contributed to Dr. Li’s review article to give an overview of the types of skin diseases typically seen with IBD and their respective pathogenesis, proposed mechanisms, and treatments; my contributions were significant enough to earn me recognition as a second author.90016 90007 90029 90006 Notice how succinct, how factual. 90007 90002 90003 5. Pasting a resume that repeats everything you’ve already said in your Activities List 90004 90005 90006 Why is this bad? Because: 90007 90058 90059 90006 It’s redundant. 90007 90062 90059 90006 Admission readers are reading SO much and this wastes their time. 90007 90062 90059 90006 It looks insecure, like you’re saying, «See what I did? Wait, look again! » 90007 90062 90059 90006 It’s redundant. (That’s a joke, btw.) 90007 90062 90075 90006 Sometimes students will even paste a resume (or a link to a resume) instead of filling out the Activities List. Do not do this. 90007 90006 On that note, some students provide a link to information such as a scientific abstract or published work. The reader often will not get that information because they can not click the link or do not have time. Basically, assume the reader will not click it. Instead, write a short summary of what’s at the link. 90007 90006 90003 What if I feel like I’m struggling to come up with stuff to add? 90004 90007 90006 It’s your call, but if it starts to feel like you’re stretching to add random things, stop, take a breath, and remember what I said at the start: 90007 90006 90015 You do not have to use the Additional Info section.90016 90007 90006 That’s right: leave it blank! In fact, see if you can be really succinct and fit all your information into the areas provided in the Activities List descriptions. It’s possible! And your college reps will thank you. 90007.90000 How to List Education on a Resume: Section Examples & Tips 90001 90002 For most people, 90003 putting education on a resume 90004 is as easy as Tic Tac Toe. 90005 90002 90005 90002 Name of University, Degree, Graduation Year — Done. 90005 90002 90005 90002 But for others, figuring out how to put your education on a resume is harder than it looks. 90005 90002 90005 90002 For example, what should go first in a resume, education or experience?
