How to create a resume: our advice to applicants



Photos and contacts - business
Photography in the resume will always be a plus, even if the position does not involve communication with people. The photo will make the resume personalized: it is easier to notice, and the response from the photo is more difficult to miss or delete. But you need to critically choose a portrait for your resume: a bad photo can ruin everything. A professional portrait photo, business and neutral, is best suited.

In the contacts section, pay attention to the mailbox - it must correspond to professional status. The address kisulya1987@mail.ru will emphasize the non-business approach to work. But angelina.vavilonova@gmail.com is already better.

Some applicants indicate in the resume their home address up to a specific apartment. It is enough to indicate the city or the nearest metro, for example, “Mytishchi” or “the village of Mansurovo in the Kursk region”.

Check salary with the market
It is not necessary to indicate the desired salary in the CV, but if you do, employers will not come to you with inappropriate offers. Universal tip: write an amount 15-20% more than what you are earning now. This will provide an opportunity to bargain without prejudice to their own interests. We talked in more detail about how to determine the desired income in one of the articles.

Compare your expectations with the average salary for the market: look at the vacancies, the statistics for the region and professional area. Overpriced by 40% or more, the salary will definitely scare off the recruiter. You can find out the average salary by market for your city and your professional area with the help of Skolkoyatelnitsa.
