Jobs
I am not talking of Steve Jobs. Though he is worth writing about. He has a movie on him too...
But I am writing about jobs, as in a career.
For beginners....
I would suggest a single page of resume.
One page would be a covering letter. Short and to the point and depending on the role, why you think you are fit for that job.
The resume starts with your name and then if necessary, objectives that you have set yourself.
First of all it is important to know and accept that as much as you need the job, the employer is looking for somebody who can fit the role best. As much as you need the job and the money the employer needs to make money too.
So it is not always about your wants but your employer's wants.
So your resume or bio data should be designed to that purpose.
Name the file with your name and position applied for. Make it easy for them to search.
In a country like India or elsewhere, there are a number of applications for a single job. So what will make you stand out.
Simplicity is the key.
Give all the details required. As a beginner you have a chance to highlight your accomplishments in school and college.
So after your education you can fill it with highlights. One or up to 5 should do.
Remember highlights are just that. HIGHLIGHTS.
If you don't have any, no worries. Move on to professional level.
Here you can mention your internship, part time jobs, etc. Anything that will be of interest to your employer.
After this be sure to add technical skills that you may have acquired. It can be as simple as MS Word! Or MS Office.
You can add your personal details in the end.
Joining Date. Remuneration that you are comfortable with. (preferable: Negotiable). Whether you are comfortable working in shifts. References.
Contact details.
Remember, if you are serious about getting the job, you better be serious!
Apply to those jobs that you are qualified for and not every job!
The rule is that sooner or later you will land the job.
The more desperate you are, the more specific you will have to be.
It might take time. But don't lose hope.
You will be honest and tell the truth. Never mind if you lose out a few.
Sometimes, more often than not, it is not your talent but your attitude that will get you the job.
That is, your sense of loyalty, dedication, obligations, et al.
So follow your dreams but keep them close to reality.
And voila. You are ready
