If you’re looking for a job, then you should know that finding a job requires two main tasks: understanding yourself and understanding the job market.
First make sure that your resume/CV is complete and up-to-date. Here are some tips to consider when revising it:
- Be honest. Never lie. At some moment you’ll have to prove you have the skills you mentioned in your resume.
- Use active verbs.
- Proofread. Review your resume several times for grammatical or spelling errors.
Here is a list of some of the most important skills that the employers look for:
- Logical thinking and information handling
- Technological skills. You should know the basic principles of using a current technology, not necessarily be an expert
- Effective communication. Employers will value people who are capable to express their thoughts efficiently through verbal or writing communication
- Strong interpersonal skills. Employers will also value people who are capable to adapt to a certain environment or group
Keep in mind that your resume should be particularized to the job offering. Remove items which are less specific to the talents the job calls for.
