When one goes for an interview, the potential employer has no idea of who the applicant is. In some cases, the person applied to the ad while others used a headhunter or job site on the internet and matched their credentials for the position.

First Impression:

The first impression employers always look at is one’s resume. Given the many that apply, this usually takes about 30 seconds and so with the limited words, one must be sure that the resume is well written and grammatically correct.

The resume must say almost everything about the person. This should always start with pertinent information such as the person’s name, age, address, contact number and social security number. The details here are needed so if one is considered to be a potential employer, it will be easy for the company to get in touch with the applicant and be scheduled for an interview.

Career Objective:

Next is the career objective which is the reason why the applicant wants to apply for the position. By putting a strong goal in mind and not a general one, the employer will see that this person has a direction which is why that person wants to work for the company.

Relevant Skills and Knowledge:

The next section should include the relevant skills and knowledge one has had in the current and previous jobs as well as highlighting one’s major accomplishments. By putting in detail the things one has done in that position and experiences learned from it, that information is already basis for the employer to see the potential the applicant has for that position. It shows the qualities one possesses and the benefits one can contribute to the further growth of the company.

Educational Background:

After that, the resume should show one’s educational background. Some companies prefer someone with a degree in a certain field, a licensed professional to do the job or one who possesses a master’s degree. By showing one’s credentials, it is a good indicator of the type of training one has possessed in school and the accomplishments one has achieved in the course of one’s career.

Last but Not the Least:

The latter section should provide details such as hobbies, interests and character references. Employers look at potential applicants who not only have the qualifications for the job but also those who also those who are well rounded. Being active in a certain organization and be seen as a leader in a group shows one’s social skills with others. Character references do the same and give people an idea how one performed working with that person.

Note: References Should Not Be – Family Members or Relatives.

There is no ideal resume. It depends on the job. It is an important step one must pass before being called for that first interview.

Being a HR Consultant, throughout these years, I have seen quite number of job seekers leaving their present high paying job, some return to their previous employers even they are paid lower and for some willing to relocate and some prefer to stay in their own country.

Well, for this matter, I did a survey on my own and summarize it.

What Type of Company Is For You?

When choosing the company you are going to work for, an element you have to keep in mind the relational culture of it.

This is extremely important; because of this many people with good jobs have given up their job for another similar one with less financial advantages but better people and professionalism.

Trying to write strict and limited compartmental prescriptions for the employees seems a little too pushy. And it because this type of prescriptions simply don’t exist!

This s type of analysis has the purpose to refrain the classification of the relational culture to only two types, to identify their characteristics, forms and the members that generate them.

From here, everyone can build their own compartmental model that can help them perform as good as possible in the company. This model can presume anything, from changing the perception over work to leaving the company whose values inflict with personal values.

In a company there can coexist, in a determinant relationship, two relational culture levels.

The Visible Level: determined by:

• The physic products of the company (building, offices, furniture, uniform, cars) for the personnel
• Verbal products (way of speaking). This element belongs t o each company and through them there can be speculated affirmations regarding the value of the company.
• Compartmental products – rituals and ceremonies whose existence permits the company to show its identity, offering to all the employees the sensation of belonging to the group.

The Invisible Level – is given by the values, the capacities, the knowledge, motivation and satisfaction of every employee of the firm.

If we go from the criteria of efficiency, the relational and organizational culture can be divided in:

Relational Culture of Progress: the personnel of the firm is able to achieve purposes in a short time, values of the employees are linked as: action, change, development.

It can exist in two forms: Democratic or Dictatorial.

Relational Culture of Regress: personnel values tend to make them work less and less. This goes especially to over-centralized, state organizations.

Employees take chances because the boss wants to, without being aware of the necessity for that specific chance. they will continue working just like before, only that now a new manner would be asked for, so they will continue working badly, with poor results.
