Importance of a resume?

A good resume is one of the most effective job search tools.

Remember three key points:

1. Your only chance of succeeding with a resume is the first time it is read. As a rule, it takes no more than 2-3 minutes to view a resume. If it was not possible to attract attention, then the resume did not work.

2. When writing a resume, follow the principle of selectivity. Information for a resume should be selected based on its goals. In other words, your resume should include a description of exactly those aspects of your experience that are significant for the position you are applying for. For example, if you were doing research and consulting at the same time, a resume aimed at getting a job in the field of commerce should not describe your scientific achievements and list your scientific works. It is better to list those specific skills and knowledge that you have received in the course of consulting activities.

3. A successful resume can be an interview reason, i.e. a personal meeting with the employer or his representative, but does not yet guarantee a job. Your goal is to get the reader to want to meet you in person.

I have a good resume and really big experience in IT, but the job search was quite long and complicated. Now I've found a job on the site with DevOps engineer jobs with relocation, in addition, I received the company's support for relocation. Thus, I managed to unify both work in a new company and the move, which I had long dreamed of.
