In this article I will give some tips on how to create a simple and objective curriculum. You can assemble your resume in Illustrator, Coreldraw or any other text editing or design program.
Here are the main sections that a curriculum should have:
CONTACT INFORMATION
Enter information where the company can contact you:
- Your name
- Address
- telephone
- And an up-to-date, beautiful and relaxed photo, do not go putting a photo where you’re in a ballad with friends, or smoking, drinking, etc … Place a discreet photo or leave without a photo.
GOAL
Make a short and impactful statement of your professional goals and the area in which you would like to act! 2 lines would be an ideal size!
Example:
„Front end developer, in which I can maximize my experience in systems development and management.“
This session would be below your name at the top of the document. After your name, this is the first section that a potential employer will read.
EXPERIENCE
In this section, you must indicate the name of the company and its highlighted function, besides the other information such as the period in which it worked and the location of the company, city, state and a brief description of the activities carried out in the company.
Ex:
digital agency Paraleloz
Web designer
– Development of websites in HTML, CSS, Jquery, JavaScript, PHP and WordPress
– Development of layouts for websites and systems in Illustrator and Photoshop
You can also include in your resume completed projects of clients as a freelancer. But first make sure you have permission from the client to include such projects.
The best way to do this is when you close a budget or a contract. Put a clause in your budget requesting permission to include the project in your portfolio. So from the initial moment of work you will know if you can disclose it or not.
EDUCATION
In Education if you attended a college or any other specialization courses you must provide the name of the institution, city, state and in which year it was formed, in addition to information such as the name of the course and projects undertaken during the course.
SKILLS
The skills section tells you what we know how to do, for example:
- HTML5
- CSS, LESS, SASS
- GIT, GITLAB
- WordPress
- PHP and JavaScript
- Illustrator
- Photoshop
- etc…
You may also be adding the languages you speak! which in this case is a super differential.
These sections are the main ones a resume should have, but if you want to further enhance your resume you can add sections like: Projects, achievements, diplomas and courses, honors and awards, publications and references.
But be careful not to fill your trash curriculum! the more objective he is the better his chances of being called for an interview.
SOCIAL NETWORKS
Your profile on social networks like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Linkedin end up being part of the professional screening, so you have to be careful with the messages you transmit.
If you do not want to be misunderstood, in the case of Facebook it is best to leave your profile in private mode.
Keep your Linkedin in line with your resume, which should always be up to date.
CONCLUSION
Before sending your resume to any company it is a good idea to show it to a friend. Ask for feedback! Check typos, so read and reread the document for typos and Portuguese. And good luck in your pursuit of dream job!
