To Submit


Now that your resume looks professional, the next step is to submit it. How? Good question.
There are several ways to submit your resume to either a job agency or directly to the employer.
1 – Submitting your resume directly:
It is the best way to look for a job. Sending resumes only when there is a job vacancy on a website is not always the best choice all over the world. This is because not all the vacancies appear online. Sometimes knocking the doors pays.
In the Technopolis of Rabat, Morocco, there is a recruitment office, in which you can submit your resume. This is because only employees have access to the place. The office there is in the position of job agencies. To submit your resume directly is always a preferred choice.
On the other hand, you can print tens of resumes and deliver them yourself. if you can teach something and visit a district where there are several schools and institutes, it is a good idea.
I remember when I was looking for a job, I used to print tens of resumes looking for a job as:
  • Teacher of French, Arabic and English,
  • Multilingual receptionist,
  • Salesman.
It did serve me to meet a lot of people and increase the number of professionals I know. It also helped me to take some interviews and be more at ease with the stress of being in an interview.
I kept in a notebook all the information about my visits:
  • Companies visited,
  • Responses of the people I met,
  • The pieces of advice I received from HR,
  • The suggestions to improve my resume.
I would like to encourage you, here, to try visiting companies yourself. It is better than staying at home and sending resumes via email only.
2- Sending your resume via email:
If you wish to look for a job this way, you need to:
  • Know that this method DOES work,
  • Create a file on your PC with your updated resume and a cover letter,
  • Create a file for every job you wish to try,
  • Add the information of the companies,
  • Keep track so that you do not contact the same company twice or miss one.
3 – Faxing your resume:
This can be done through some job agencies, but remember that your resume might not be received in a good printing quality.
The most important thing is to be the one who applies not asking anyone else to do the job for you.

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

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
