A good résumé should never be boring in order to arouse the interest of HR professionals.
We show you how to formulate your work experience in an appealing way.
The résumé is the
most important part of the application documents
.
It is often the first document that recruiters or team leaders see from the applicant.
In order for you to have a real chance of the job among the often hundreds of applications, it must not be boring, but rather cast its spell with crisp formulations and the right details.

Always remember: The recruiter must be able to read from your résumé whether you are the right candidate for the job.
Therefore, always formulate your skills and professional experience
as meaningfully as possible
.
The following tips will help you:
Use important keywords:
Pay attention to the applicant requirements in the job advertisement and include these keywords in your résumé.
If, for example, “experience in online marketing” is required and you can already demonstrate work experience, please state this in the description of the relevant job position.
Give
details of your work experience:
Job titles alone (such as "Content Manager") are not meaningful enough to show relevant work experience. The requirements for such a position differ from company to company anyway. Even short job descriptions are often not enough. Therefore, state as many details of your professional experience as possible in order to convince
HR managers
, for example:
"Supervision of social media channels (Facebook, Instagram, TikTok), creation of five blog posts per week, assistance with campaign X for the introduction of the new product Y Instruction of two interns ... "
Advertise your strengths:
Especially with speculative applications, applicants often lack the clues and the corresponding keywords (see above) to which they can refer.
The experts at
Karriere.at
recommend that you focus on your own professional strengths: “What have you done particularly well in previous jobs?
What have you gained the most experience with? "
Important in the interview:
“What are your weaknesses?” This is how you answer this delicate application question without lying.
Don't be stingy with information that reveals your personality
With all the professional experience, your résumé should of course not neglect your own personality.
After all, that is also part of an applicant's self-presentation.
Make sure you show your personality in your CV: Name, for example, non-professional projects or
voluntary activities
that demonstrate your commitment.
With an appealing
application
photo, you will immediately arouse sympathy, even if this is no longer necessary.
Hobbies that reveal your personal preferences are also still very popular.
