Hello everyone, it's a pleasure that you are here again, if you opened this post is because for sure you have had some doubts at the time of preparing your resume, you stayed eternally waiting for the call of some desired job and never came, or are in a highly competitive employment branch such as the hotel industry.
Destacar siempre ha sido una situación difícil. Sobre todo, porque hay muchísimas personas formándose en el mismo oficio, cocineros, bartender, mesoneros, baristas; Y aunado a esto actualmente existen menos vacantes laborales debido a la situación del Covid. Por lo que es necesario asegurar un buen currículo que garantice la codiciada llamada para una entrevista.
Standing out has always been a difficult situation. Above all, because there are many people being trained in the same occupation, cooks, bartenders, waiters, baristas; and added to this there are currently fewer job vacancies due to the situation of the Covid. So it is necessary to ensure a good resumé that guarantees the coveted call for an interview.
Los ejemplos que voy a dar a continuación, son del ámbito de hotelería en su mayoría, pero ilustran perfectamente los errores más comunes que se deben corregir. Antes de avanzar debo decir que mi madre es Licenciada en relaciones industriales, desde hace más de 30 años de forma continua, y gracias a ella aprendí muchos de los puntos importantes que se evalúa en una empresa, al momento de seleccionar a su personal, y son estrategias que yo he usado también para seleccionar a las personas que trabajan conmigo.
The examples I am going to give below are mostly from the hotel industry, but they perfectly illustrate the most common mistakes that need to be corrected. Before going any further I must say that my mother has been a graduate in human resources, for over 30 years on a continuous basis, and thanks to her I learned many of the important points that are evaluated in a company when selecting its personnel, and they are strategies that I have also used to select the people who work with me.
Ahora sí, sin más demora empecemos
El modelo puede ser sencillo, van a conseguir muchos estilos por internet, lo importante es que permita mostrar su información de forma ordenada y clara. El inicio de todo currículo debe contener su información básica de contacto y su foto.
Now, without further ado, let's get started
The model can be simple, you will get many styles on the internet, the important thing is that it allows you to show your information in an orderly and clear way. The beginning of every resume should contain your basic contact information and your photo.
Ejemplo 1: Encabezado de currículo / Example 1: Curriculum Header
This is a quick example of a simple curriculum model, the first thing that stands out is the full name, marital status, address and phone numbers. In this section you will see that in addition to my number, I keep an additional number to contact my mother, in case you cannot reach me. This is important because it shows that I am interested, I want to be contacted, it can also be a home number, a number of your wife or husband in case you live in marriage.
He visto casos de personas que no colocan ningún número telefónico, porque les robaron el teléfono, o simplemente no tienen, porque no les gusta, y esto es un gran punto negativo. La empresa para la que trabajes va a necesitar comunicarse contigo, y si tienes una profesión de servicio sabes que es necesario en muchas ocasiones ir a trabajar en horarios especiales, o por situaciones exclusivas de cada profesión. Así que no tener teléfono, ni de un vecino para que se comuniquen contigo, muestra un total desinterés por ser encontrado.
I have seen cases of people who don't put in any phone numbers, because their phone was stolen, or they just don't have one, because they don't like it, and this is a big mistake. The company you work for will need to communicate with you, and if you have a service profession you know that it is necessary in many occasions to go to work in special schedules, or for exclusive situations of each profession. So not having a phone, or a neighbor to communicate with you, shows a total lack of interest in being found.
Otro punto muy importante es la Fotografía, esto transmite mucho a la persona que está revisando tu información. En el caso de la hotelería las damas deben tener el cabello siempre recogido, sin escotes profundos, con un maquillaje suave y zarcillos discretos. Y para los caballeros el cabello debe estar corto, sin pendientes, y deben estar rasurados. (En el caso particular de la hotelería estos son estándares básicos, y demostrar que usted ya los domina, y respeta es muy importante para la empresa. Un rostro despejado transmite confianza, limpieza, y da seguridad).
Un tip interesante, es buscar la empresa por goole , esto te puede dar una idea de que tipo de imagen buscan proyectar.
Another very important point is the Photography, this transmits a lot to the person who is reviewing your information. In the case of hotels, ladies should always have their hair tied back, without deep necklines, with soft make-up and discreet earrings. And for men the hair must be short, without earrings, and they must be shaved. (In the particular case of the hotel industry these are basic standards, and showing that you already master them, and respect them is very important for the company. A clear face conveys confidence, cleanliness, and gives security).
An interesting tip, is to search the company by google, this can give you an idea of what kind of image they are looking to convey.
Ejemplo 2: Encabezado de currículo con foto recortada, falta información de contacto. / Example 2: Resume header with cut-out photo, missing contact information.
An important point about the photo is that it should be a formal photo, it should be noted that it was taken for the job search occasion, and not a photo that I cut out from somewhere, the photo should also be as recent as possible in order to represent you today. A photo cut out from anywhere, or too small to distinguish your face, is almost as bad as no photo at all.
Ejemplo 3. Encabezado de currículo, foto difícil de distinguir, falta información de Contacto. / Example 3. Curriculum headline, photo difficult to distinguish, Contact information missing.
I have seen and received resumes without photos, it is very difficult to call those numbers, it generates some distrust, and with 80 candidates with photos it is evident who will be called first. I have also had cases of people using photos from 15 years ago. If the person who is reviewing their resume sees that the age does not correspond with the photograph it will look like a hoax. Imagine that you are called for an interview and it turns out that the photo you sent is from when you were 20 and an athlete, and at the moment you are 50 and you have left the exercise a long time ago, you will already see the negative impact this has on the interviewer.
Esto es todo, por esta primera parte de como hacer un excelente currículo, que te garantice sobresalir entre los demás candidatos, espero les haya gustado y les sea muy útil esta información, pronto subiré la siguiente parte con mas consejos, cualquier duda la pueden dejar en los comentarios. Les deseo un feliz día. 😃
This is all, for this first part of how to make an excellent resume, which guarantees you stand out among other candidates, I hope you like it and you will find this information very useful, soon I will upload the next part with more tips, if you have any questions you can leave it in the comments. I wish you a happy day. 😃
