What is the best way to describe my skills on a job application? |
I am going for a job as a service advisor. I have to fill in a few sections that describe my skills relevant to the role. Communication. Planning & Organising, Team Working & Leadership. Where can I find good examples of what people have put previously on applications? The job is for a brewery in the U.K in the finance dept. Inputting & checking orders, customer queries. I do not want to copy, I just want to get an understanding of the best way to show my skills. I am educated to degree level, (Interactive Multimedia) Have waorked as a Senior Insurance Negotiator, 2 years, Claims & Underwriting experience. Sales & Lettings Manager 1.5 years. Quality Control Inspector. Personal hobbies. (in no order) Hill walking, camping, Angling (Carp), Squash, Tennis, Internet Gaming, Poker, Web Designing, Driving, Reading, Socialising. Hope you can point me in the right direction. Rules to show your skills in resume / job applications: 1. Give numbers / statistics to show your job scope Ex.: Negotiated 500+ claims annually 2. List accomplishments to show you are valuable Ex: Managed the highest sales in region (in $$$) 3. Choose right keywords Most big companies use computer to match resumes with job opening. So, read the job opening carefully and use the same keywords in your resume / application 4. Do not include hobbies (unless you know the hiring manager has the same hobbies with you). Hope this helps.... act like george kastanza from seinfeld. describe yourself as bald, uneducated, skillless, alcoholic, and living at home with your parents at 36 years of age. then when they laugh say "no seriously, i am bald, uneducated, skillless, alcoholic and i live at home with my parents. They'll hire you out of pity and because you are unique compared to other job applicants |
