It is a blog, created purely, for my peers on my personal happenings, events, memories, milestones,ups-downs and happy-sad moments.
Ever encountered problems when trying to pen down your profile, educational background and work experiences in a resume?
Ever told yourself that you will start writing resume once you have time, so that you can start to look a jobs but 'that time' never came?
I've experienced both the above and guess that I will still face the same problems whenever I need to switch jobs.
Came acrossthis article and though it may be great to share the few pointers to think through and strategize before writing your resume?
Self-Reflection before Resume Writing
What do I want in a job?
How would I describe my ideal job?
What has my career progression (or lack of) been like?
What have I learned from my experiences?
Who am I at work and where/how do I best succeed?
What are my marketable skill sets?
Why are these skills marketable?
To which companies would I be an asset and why?
What do I need to sidestep?
[Ready for the most important question?] What benefits do I offer employers over other QUALIFIED candidates? The set of questions are the usual questions that I asked my candidates during interviews, but strangely… when I posed the questions back to myself, I do not seem to have much answer for it.
Lastly, spotted this last sentence and totally agreed with it! "Employers and recruiters will connect with the person behind the resume, if you can show them there is one!" – Recruiters (like me) really enjoy reading good resumes and look forward to meeting the candidates for interview if we feel 'connected'.
