Informaics

As an interviewer, it is good to hire people who have some knowledge of informatics. It is good to hire people who can:
  • Connect PCs with printers and other devices,
  • Install and uninstall software,
  • Master basic software and those needed in the job,
  • Have done some informatics projects.
It is not enough to put the following only in this section:

Informatics:

Word, Excel & Windows Movie Maker.

Instead, it is always better to show what you can do with that software, especially when you do not master or know any of the “professional” one. The example I shall illustrate here is the Microsoft Office.
In many resumes, I see “Microsoft Office” without a single explanation from the candidate of what they can do with it.
A resume can look better if the candidate puts it this way:

Informatics:

Microsoft Office:
Excel:
  • Billing,
  • Stock Management.
Here, the candidate should have worked on an example and bring it either in a USB or can even bring her laptop with him… or tablet.
He can ask for the interviewer’s permission to show her the project, and this can be much better and concrete that the candidate has done something in the past and can adapt it to the needs of the company. A candidate who gives concrete examples is always seen as more experienced than someone who just promises to do something special or highlights his past experiences…
Let us see more!!

Informatics:

Microsoft Office:
Excel:
  • Employees’ vacation management,
  • Stock Management,
  • Field Service Scheduling.
PowerPoint:
  • Presentations,
  • Explaining procedures.
If you would like to add that you can fix the basic errors occurring on PCs, that would be a plus. If you have a certificate in any software, please mention it on your resume or verbally. The more you prove that you are skillful, the more your chances to get the job are.
Remember! You always have the right to ask a question and to clarify what is on your CV. You do not need to wait for the interviewer to ask you what you all the questions for which you have prepared answers.

Layout

Remember that it is a resume. It is not a Da Vinci picture. It is not a painted board. It is just a resume. It is not harmful to use a color in the main sections; blue, for example. But please avoid using colors like gray, yellow or any color which has no utility. One color to highlights the main sections and the main skills is enough. You need to keep it professional and to take the following into consideration: Simple template: Sometimes some candidates choose very complex resume templates. The HR manager finds it so hard to extract the information they are looking for. If you like to complicate things for people, please make your resume the least complex ever. Remember:  choosing a very misleading or complex template does not mean you have a good resume. Size: 14 for the main sections and 12 for details is enough. Please avoid using more than two. All the fonts on Word: Using all the fonts in Word is not professional. It makes a document hard to focus on and som

External Links

You can add some external links to your resume, but you need to pay attention. Your carefulness needs to be at its top, because if you do not pay much attention to your  personal branding , whoever googles you will get wrong or incomplete information about who you are. Linked In : Your Linked In profile must be identical to your resume. Otherwise, HR will think you are not sure of what you are doing. You need to update both of them whenever you learn a new skill or get a new certificate or diploma. Facebook : Avoiding Facebook profile is always better. If you are professional, you can put a link to your Facebook page. When you are famous enough to have a   verified Facebook account , try to make sure you have no friend on your list who is working in the company you are applying for a job in. Always clean your account and make sure what you post does not scratch your image. Also, make sure you do not take part in “bad” groups. YouTube : When I submitted my CV to  Marrake
