你想转行做一份和以前的行业完全无关的新工作。父亲说:“你永远都做不到。”母亲附和道:“枉费我们把所有的钱供你读书。”幸好,朋友们或其他对你影响重大的人都表示支持:“当然行,为什么不呢?”
Monster专家在此告诉你:“去吧,为之努力,不过别忘了对简历做些修改。”请谨记以下三个要点:
简历是推销自己的工具
别在简历中提到你过去的工作经验。先详细了解你想应聘的公司的情况。在简历中,要说明将来你能为他们做什么,而不是你曾经做过什么。这就像一次突如其来的电话销售,你就是待售的商品。
说明你的经历对公司有何帮助
人事经理一般花上七秒钟浏览一份简历,然后决定把你的简历留待考虑还是扔进废纸篓。别指望人家浪费这点宝贵的时间来费力地找出你为何适合该职位---这是你做的事!既然你已经对公司做了详细调查,就应该对公司的发展动向,需要何种技能和能力有所了解。把自己定位为这些领域的专家,别担心对其他方面所知甚少。
功能型简历更适合你
功能型简历最适合展现你的技能,而非工作经验,更具有前瞻性。简历上方的简介一栏相当于一篇评论,说明你具备哪些资历,如何符合工作要求。也能表明你的行事风格很符合公司的企业文化。
转行对事业发展和心理健康大有裨益。别向猎头公司求助,他们靠不住,他们会说你找不到工作。你应该和朋友们商量,尤其是你想转入的行业的业内人士。
How to Take Care of Weaknesses on Your Resume
Unrelated ExperienceSo you want to move to a different field entirely. Your father says, "Youhjteshufuhaoll 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 donhjteshufuhaot forget to give your resume a makeover." Here are three things to keep in mind:
A Resume Is a Marketing Document.Donhjteshufuhaot tell your career history in your resume. Do your homework by researching the organizations to which youhjteshufuhaore applying. In your resume, feature what you could do for them in the future, rather than what youhjteshufuhaove done in the past. This is a cold call, and youhjteshufuhaore 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. Donhjteshufuhaot ask this person to spend any of that precious time trying to figure out where youhjteshufuhaod fit in the organization -- thathjteshufuhaos up to you! Because youhjteshufuhaove done your research, youhjteshufuhaoll 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 donhjteshufuhaot 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; ithjteshufuhaos 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 donhjteshufuhaot ever ask headhunters to help you do it; it doesnhjteshufuhaot calculate for them, and theyhjteshufuhaoll tell you youhjteshufuhaore not marketable. You should talk to your friends about it, particularly those in the fields youhjteshufuhaod like to consider.
