Trim your resume for the fall – Swedish Dagbladet

Trim your resume for the fall – Swedish Dagbladet

– A classic mistake is to write for a general resume and then scattering it Anyway. You should really spend time on writing CVs that are targeted to the recipient, says Astrid Gauffin, leadership and career coach.

Before you begin , it is important to understand down and reflect on what direction you actually want to take. As for the purely technical should a resume be factual and concise, while application letters can be more expository and narrative. They should be easy to read with a simple and consistent layout.

If the image is requested by the employer, it is a must, otherwise you yourself feel after, say Gauffin.

– Have you a nice picture where professional looking, it’s perfectly okay. But it’ll be a good picture, not a picture from the bar.

She emphasizes how important it is to read thoroughly before sending their application, to avoid typos and incorrect contact information.

– And it should not be an overly chipper and honeyed tone but nice and accurate. Think of all the time on who the recipient is and how you want to be perceived.
