Resume
An excellent resume may help you get the job of your dreams and a poor
resume may mean a lost opportunity.
Since this is the first piece of information a company will receive about
you, it is critically important that your resume be well-written.
It should be presented at the beginning of any interview that you have with
a company. Ideally, resume should not be longer than one page.
Although resumes are personal documents there are some basic areas of
information that most resumes include:
1. Personal information;
2. Job objective;
3. Education;
4. Experience;
5. Activities and/or professional affiliations;
6. Special interests and skills;
7. References.
The resume begins with PERSONAL INFORMATION, name, address,
telephone number centered at the top page.
After your address, a statement of intent or JOB OBJECTIVE should be
written. This objective should be well thought out from the very beginning since
it will influence the way you will write the rest of the resume. It should not be
too general, eg: “To obtain a managerial position in a western company.”
Think about your job search and career goals carefully, write them down in
a way that shows you have given them much thought.
For example: “Objective: To obtain a position in telecommunication that
will allow me to use my knowledge of engineering and take advantage of my
desire to work in sales”.
Never include your desire to have a well-paid job in this statement. A focus
on money in your resume’s first sentence will not make the best impression
anywhere in the world, not just in Russia.
After the statement of intent, describe your EDUCATION.
List the universities, institutes and colleges you have attended in reverse
chronological order.
