- What is a résumé?
When you apply for a job it is customary to send a résumé with our application. It is important to prepare your résumé carefully because it can greatly impact the application’s progress.
The typical résumé contains personal information, such as a name, a social security number, an address, an e-mail address and a telephone number. Some people also include information about marital status and number of children. It is also important to include information about education, such as the names of schools, degrees, fields and years of study. It is also well-advised to shortly describe the studies or main projects. It can also be good to specify courses. If the person has little experience the emphasis is usually put on education. It’s the opposite if experience is the main feature that separates you from other applicants. Next comes information about your career. The main information to include is: Work place, time of employment and job title. It is good to write a few words about your main projects and responsibilities. It is recommended to start by listing the last job you had/your current position. If you have little experience it is wise to emphasize your education.
The typical résumé also includes information about language skills, computer skills and other things that might be useful for the position. Many include a short personal presentation of goals or interests.
Information about references can be useful. You can name a few references where you specify names, job titles and telephone numbers/e-mail addresses.
