Education

May inform about awards, underline those studied disciplines, which correspond to candidate's purpose, participation in scientific-research work. Outlined in reverse chronological order, i.e., beginning with the last place of study.

Additional information

  • proficiency in foreign languages ("fluent", "fluent", "read and translate with a dictionary"; however, the latter is not welcome), nowadays young employees must be proficient in a foreign language.

Purpose

Specify the exact title of the position you wish to apply for. It should be exactly as stated. Some people write "I would like to get an interesting job that matches my education and work experience and could benefit your company and further its successful development" instead of the position. This kind of wording causes bewilderment in the employer and does not find support. It is clear that the person himself has no idea what exactly he could do and offers the employer to solve the crossword puzzle - to carefully examine the resume and find the right answer, putting it in the "position" column.

Don't list more than one position at once. This will reduce your chances. The employer needs a specialist for a particular position.
