Resume. This has been one of the most commented words of the last days, but not precisely for looking for work, but for the media stir that has caused the now former deputy and ex -secretary of mobilization and digital challenge of the PP Noelia Núñez by resigning from all its organic and institutional positions after having recognized that the degree of law and legal sciences of the Public Administrations of the UNED that appeared in its profile of the UNED. The deputies. “The error is recognized, apologies are requested and resigned,” he wrote on his social networks.
However, Núñez has not been the only policy indicated these days to make up his resume. A reality, to inflate academic training or professional career, which experts in job guidance such as Julio García Gómez cross out “Tendency not to tell the whole truth”. “Sometimes it happens that we have studied and we want to give the impression that we have finished these studies. The logical thing in those cases is to put that I studied until second, the course that is … that would be ideal, always tell the truth and not want to be, in quotes, chest. You have to tell the truth, we must value what one has and sell,” Garcia adds.
It is not for less, and more if we take into account that recruiters, in Garcia’s words, find it easy to detect when one lies in their resume. “People who dedicate ourselves to the selection of personnel can perceive if there is no truth in a degree that is accompanied or in a professional career because we deepen, we look at verbal and gestural language and ask specific data from which we obtain some evidence that there is no truth. The problem of putting on the curriculum is that, then, one has to demonstrate their training and experience,” says the Casaverde Foundation.
How to make an effective curriculum?
Although we all know what a resumedraw attention how much it costs us to elaborate one effectively. “In the last courses of the degrees, of the career, it should be taught to do a resume as well as a job search strategy, “says García, not without making it clear that a resume It is like “the cover of a newspaper” that must have “headlines that mean the most important of our trajectory and our studies.”
“Contrary to what one imagines, The first thing to put, apart from personal data, contact data … is the professional career. In which companies we have worked, what tasks we have developed, even what functions we have performed if it is to opt for a managerial position. Next, we should put the academic datawhich are not only degrees, degrees, masters or any course we do, also all the languages and the computer science must be put there. In the end, we must not forget to incorporate a section that would be of objectives. What do we intend with this job? How are we going to adapt to group work? We should condense all that on a page and we can add an annex without limit of space in which to detail in depth all the experience we have had“, recommends Garcia, who recognizes that the resume It is “important” to get a job, but not “fundamental.” “The fundamental thing is to overcome a job interview by transmitting what we can contribute, make clear our goals and know how to sell ourselves. That’s where we have to give everything,” he says.
