Following up on the previous post. I was browsing hh [job site] at 1 AM today and thought: maybe my resume is really bad? If anyone has a recent resume, please share how you've written your "About Me" section? The "work experience" section is pretty standard and can even be taken from job descriptions. But the accompanying information at the end... what do you write there? Here's mine 👇 (photos in comments).
I'm a mom of two kids who get sick often, and it's heartbreaking to realize I can't find a job. I'm…

This is a really bad resume. You won't get hired with this resume

I can give you some advice if you're interested, I have experience from when I used to hire employees for a bank. I would select candidates directly for my office and it was quite successful.
It's very appealing when the 'About Me' section isn't generic but lively.
Write in your own words, without that generic, "I don't care" vibe.
This "stress resistance" thing is clearly written carelessly, just to put something down).
You need something extraordinary, unique, specific to you.
Without using cliché phrases, or replace them with something unusual and unique.

mariya Were you a sales manager? Business correspondence – and that's it. What results did you achieve in your previous job? Business correspondence – and so what? Many people can write a lot, but what's the point? Education?

Vasilisa Don't look at examples, share your specific experience and successful cases. For example, you exceeded sales targets, closed a major deal for a significant amount, or completed a large project. In other words, share concrete past experiences.

My old resume. Found it in my email :) It's written so confidently. Things are different now, of course. But it can serve as a basis.

Vasilisa I don't have that kind of experience 🤣 I'm an executor. I carry out what the sales manager gets. My role is clear. And my job doesn't involve meeting any targets or anything like that. So, should I lie?

mariya No, I'm not a sales manager. I'm an assistant sales manager. I'm an executor. I handle the sales manager's receipts. My duties are clearly defined. And my job doesn't involve meeting any targets or anything like that. So, why would I lie?

I've chosen something similar. But below in the summary, I've added my experience. I think it needs more work.

Elena I was hired twice with this resume: once as a secretary and once as a sales manager at a bank. I only changed my personal details based on the circumstances and added organizations as my experience grew.

Elena I understand. I was hired easily before maternity leave. I never looked for more than 2 weeks. But here, it's just one rejection after another.
