In the workplace, there are not a few job-hoppers who want to change careers or industries. It is difficult to change careers, and it is even more difficult to write a resume. If the job intention on your resume is very different from your previous accumulated work experience, the interviewer will look confused and often "fire" you within 30 seconds, resulting in your resume often sinking into the sea. Many job seekers are very upset about this: how to write a resume if they want to change careers or jump ship?
The excellent resume here is an example of successful job transfer. Maybe you can learn a trick or two from these two resumes.
Example 1:
Mr. Jin, 10 years working experience, has worked in manufacturing, electronics and service industries, and has been engaged in training, consulting and project management. Although he has worked in different jobs, Mr. Jin has always been interested in human resource management. Not long ago, he handed in his resume, hoping to get a position as HR manager or manager of organizational development department.
Characteristics of resume writing:
At first glance, Mr. Kim's resume breaks the traditional writing format. He simplified the description of past experience, but focused on the understanding of the position and his own experience, which looked like a combination of resume and cover letter. His resume looks like this:
The first part is the introduction of personal basic information;
The second part immediately writes to the HR manager of "Job Intention". He expounded his interest in human resource management, his long-term experience, and the experience gained in other positions of several human resource incidents. In addition, Mr. Jin participated in interview recruitment activities when he was engaged in project management, so he also highlighted his experience and experience in talent selection.
In the third part, Mr. Jin summed up what measures he would take if he could engage in HR work and what effect he hoped to achieve.
The fourth part briefly lists the previous 10 years' work experience. Since most of these experiences have nothing to do with HR, let's briefly describe them.
The fifth part lists some personality traits that conform to HR work, such as patience, meticulous, good at listening, good at cooperating with various departments and strong learning ability.
After such a resume is submitted, it is easy to attract the attention of HR and get an interview opportunity because of its unique writing format and clear job hunting intention.
Example 2:
Mr. Xie, with a college degree, has worked in the electronics industry for nearly 65,438+00 years. He has worked as an electronic technical engineer, senior engineer, project manager and factory director of component procurement and production. He was sent to Canada by the company for 3 years, engaged in electronic engineering and process management, and fluent in English.
After returning to China this time, Mr. Xie feels that he has been engaged in the electronic industry from technology to project management, and it is difficult to make a greater breakthrough. Attracted by the golden income and high social status of consulting industry, Mr. Xie hopes to become a "consultant" and engage in consulting work. However, he realized that even if his 10 years of technical work experience could fill three pages, none of his experience was related to consulting. How can such a resume be favored by HR? Besides, I only have a junior college degree, and the consultant gives people the impression that he is a highly educated person. Can I realize my wish? Mr. Xie is very upset about this.
Characteristics of resume writing:
After the guidance of experts, Mr. Xie realized that the consulting work was not unattainable. Although Mr. Xie has never been engaged in real consulting work, his years of experience in the electronics industry is essential for consulting work in the electronics industry. Teacher Xie has a technical background, production experience, familiar with the workflow, familiar with the production and sales departments of electronic enterprises, foreign training and work experience, and fluent English, all of which are the capital for job transfer. Moreover, his work in the next few years has gradually acted as an "internal consultant".
Inspired by experts, Mr. Xie's idea of job-hopping suddenly became clear. So he used some "skills" in his resume writing and changed the narrative angle. When listing many years of work experience, he weakened the specific work of technology and highlighted the work experience of technical support and technical consultation; Weaken technological advantages, but focus on the advantages of being familiar with enterprise operation, understanding enterprise operation process, understanding the work of various departments, and often participating in process management and problem solving of various departments; Finally, I emphasize my love for consulting work, list some consulting training and courses I have participated in abroad, and show my work style in line with the consulting industry, such as being willing to work under high pressure, finding solutions to problems, enjoying challenging work and having good communication skills.
Summarizing the above examples and writing a career change resume is actually catching the candidate's heart and getting to know himself. Please do the following:
Write clearly what you can do for the company.
You should carefully study the job requirements of job advertisements, modify your resume purposefully, and understand what you can do for them, instead of just emphasizing what you have done before. In this way, you will hopefully sell yourself as a "good product". In short, what you should try to do is to convince the employer that your work experience in other industries will help them, so that the company will be willing to hire you.
Second, prepare a functional resume.
Now that you have studied the company, you should have a basic understanding of the company's development direction, what kind of talents and skills are needed and so on. So you might as well try to prepare a functional resume for yourself. A functional resume can help you show your skills, not your work experience. It is called a "forward-looking" resume. This resume usually begins with a simple self-description and personal job search intention. A decent resume also gives you an opportunity to show your personal style and make it conform to the corporate culture of the company.
Third, make full use of your social network.
We want to remind job seekers that although people who dare to jump ship are relatively more creative, more active and more willing to take risks, many companies are always biased against people who jump ship too much when recruiting. In this case, we suggest that you should make more use of your social connections for cross-industry job hunting. Ideally, you know that a company has a job vacancy, but you don't advertise it, so you can avoid competing with a large number of candidates with job qualifications in that industry.
Fourth, let friends bring you valuable information.
Finally, what an excellent resume wants to say is that going to another industry is a challenge, an adjustment and a contribution to your career development. Of course, before you decide, you should talk about your decision with your parents and other elders as little as possible, because there is no need to make them worry about you. However, you should discuss it with your friends, especially those who work in the industry you are interested in. They can often bring you the truest and most valuable information.
