Do you want to get your profile just right? We have put together 6 essential tips on how to write a killer international profile and get noticed by recruiters.
1 – Know the Job Market
Find out which vacancies are in demand in your area, how the market identifies your position, and what are the main requirements of the vacancy that you are looking for
2 – Talk about your professional experience
Make sure to describe your activities, challenges, and accomplishments. Don’t just provide a list of your tasks and daily routine; focus on describing your projects.
3 – Adapt the STAR method for your profile
This will help you present a complete description of your expertise and show your potential value to employers. Learn more about the STAR method.
4 – Use Powerful Verbs
It’s time to get more creative and do your resume justice. How do you do it? You replace the boring with exciting, powerful action verbs to make your profile awesome.
5 – Add Keywords to Match the Job Description
If you are experienced in “several Javascript frameworks”, make sure you name them all. If you are comfortable working with “different databases”, name them all, and so on.
6 – List Self-Employment & Freelance Work
