你想轉(zhuǎn)行做一份和以前的行業(yè)完全無關(guān)的新工作。父親說:“你永遠都做不到!蹦赣H附和道:“枉費我們把所有的錢供你讀書!毙液茫笥褌兓蚱渌麑δ阌绊懼卮蟮娜硕急硎局С郑骸爱斎恍,為什么不呢?”
Monster專家在此告訴你:“去吧,為之努力,不過別忘了對簡歷做些修改。”請謹記以下三個要點:
簡歷是推銷自己的工具
別在簡歷中提到你過去的工作經(jīng)驗。先詳細了解你想應聘的公司的情況。在簡歷中,要說明將來你能為他們做什么,而不是你曾經(jīng)做過什么。這就像一次突如其來的電話銷售,你就是待售的商品。
說明你的經(jīng)歷對公司有何幫助
人事經(jīng)理一般花上七秒鐘瀏覽一份簡歷,然后決定把你的簡歷留待考慮還是扔進廢紙簍。別指望人家浪費這點寶貴的時間來費力地找出你為何適合該職位---這是你做的事!既然你已經(jīng)對公司做了詳細調(diào)查,就應該對公司的發(fā)展動向,需要何種技能和能力有所了解。把自己定位為這些領(lǐng)域的專家,別擔心對其他方面所知甚少。
功能型簡歷更適合你
功能型簡歷最適合展現(xiàn)你的技能,而非工作經(jīng)驗,更具有前瞻性。簡歷上方的簡介一欄相當于一篇評論,說明你具備哪些資歷,如何符合工作要求。也能表明你的行事風格很符合公司的企業(yè)文化。
轉(zhuǎn)行對事業(yè)發(fā)展和心理健康大有裨益。別向獵頭公司求助,他們靠不住,他們會說你找不到工作。你應該和朋友們商量,尤其是你想轉(zhuǎn)入的行業(yè)的業(yè)內(nèi)人士。
How to Take Care of Weaknesses on Your Resume
Unrelated ExperienceSo you want to move to a different field entirely. Your father says, "You'll never be able to do it." Your mother rails, "After we spent all that money on your degree?" Fortunately, your friends or significant other say, "Sure, why not?"
We here at Monster say, "Go for it, but don't forget to give your resume a makeover." Here are three things to keep in mind:
A Resume Is a Marketing Document.Don't tell your career history in your resume. Do your homework by researching the organizations to which you're applying. In your resume, feature what you could do for them in the future, rather than what you've done in the past. This is a cold call, and you're the product.
Show How Your Experience Will Benefit Them.The average person spends seven seconds scanning a resume before deciding whether to put it in the maybe pile or the circular file. Don't ask this person to spend any of that precious time trying to figure out where you'd fit in the organization -- that's up to you! Because you've done your research, you'll have some idea of where the company is going, and what skills and competencies it will need. Pitch yourself as an expert in those areas, and don't worry about downplaying or leaving out the rest.
You May Be Better Off with a Functional Resume.A functional resume offers you the best opportunity to showcase skills rather than job experience; it's more of a forward-looking resume. The highlights or profile section at the top serves as a sort of editorial page where you can show the relationship between the kind of person you are and the jobs demands. It also offers a chance to show that your style will fit with the company culture.
Changing fields is one of the best things you can do for your career and your mental health. Just don't ever ask headhunters to help you do it; it doesn't calculate for them, and they'll tell you you're not marketable. You should talk to your friends about it, particularly those in the fields you'd like to consider.
