Tips for drawing up a resume of the estimator
A properly written resume will surely grab the employer's attention and increase the chances of hiring a particular candidate. There are no exact rules for drawing up this document, but a certain structure of a working business card has been established. The resume for the estimator, like the document for other positions, includes important points.
Key points
Regardless of what position the applicant is applying for, a business card must include certain points.
- Personal data and contacts. Here they indicate the following: full name of the applicant for the position, address of residence (country, city, region), telephone number, e-mail address and other contacts so that you can contact the applicant.
- Education... It is imperative to indicate the presence of education. This item includes the name of the educational institution (be it a higher education institution or another institution), faculty, specialty and years of study. You can also enter data on the completion of courses here.
- Work experience. The list is listed in the opposite order, starting with the most recent place of work. Having professional skills specific to the position for which a person is applying will be a big plus. Some companies only hire experienced workers. Here it will not be superfluous to outline the duties performed in the previous position.
The maximum number of past jobs recommended for indication in the document is 5. If there are more of them, you should choose the most significant or those that relate to a specific position. In the absence of formal experience, you can indicate work in an informal position or data on industrial practice.
- Personal qualities... These characteristics tell about the future employee as a person. The presence of certain qualities indicates what responsibilities the applicant will cope with. It is strongly discouraged to list many positive characteristics. It is better to choose the most basic ones and indicate them.
- Successes... Achievements from past vacancies indicate a high level of professionalism of the employee. At this point, you can designate diplomas, certificates, letters of thanks and other incentives. If the applicant has managed to increase the efficiency of the company or solve a serious problem, this should be described in the resume.
