Tóm tắt lại - Deepstash

Tóm tắt lại

  • Be unduly modest. You are selling yourself, period.
  • Wing it. Real preparation and homework is required – no matter how lucky you’ve been in the past.
  • Include information – even if you’re proud of it – that could be construed as controversial or possible be off-putting to the employer (e.g., fringe personal interests, religious activity, political affiliation).
  • List everything you’ve ever done. It’s better to leave an employer a little curious and more apt to interview you.
  • Include salary information. It is appropriate for you to provide this information only when asked.
  • Mention reasons for leaving jobs. You can have tactful, professional reasons ready for interviews.
  • Include references. Provide them when requested, and be sure your references know that an inquiry is on the way.
  • Try to be funny or cute – no matter how great your personality, these things don’t translate on paper.
  • Include every single piece of information about yourself – this is not your resume’s job. If the employer wants to know more about you, they’ll ask you for an interview.
  • Get wordy. Don’t use three examples when one will suffice.
  • Be hyperbolic. Don’t use more than one power word or adjective in one sentence.
  • Underestimate the power of reading the job posting carefully and doing all of your homework. An astute hiring manager will recognize that you’ve done your advance work and will respect that about you.
