Q & A

What personal information should be excluded from a resume according to Adriana?

Adriana advises against including personal details such as CPF, RG, CNH, full address, and date of birth. These are no longer necessary and can be seen as outdated or even risky in terms of privacy.

Should salary expectations be included in a resume?

No, unless the job posting specifically requests it. If included, it should be a precise number or state 'negotiable'. Adriana emphasizes that it's not necessary to include salary expectations unless required by the employer.

What should be included in the 'Objective' section of a resume?

Instead of vague statements like 'open to any job', Adriana recommends clearly stating the specific role you're applying for. This will help strengthen the match between the resume and the employer’s requirements, particularly with the use of job-specific keywords.

What is the significance of a 'Professional Summary' on a resume?

A professional summary highlights your most valuable skills, competencies, and experiences. It should be strategic, focusing on what sets you apart and using industry-specific keywords. Adriana suggests this section is vital for catching the employer’s attention right away.

How should the 'Experience' section be structured?

The experience section should prioritize your key responsibilities and achievements, using concise bullet points. Adriana advises against listing minor tasks and instead suggests focusing on impactful outcomes, ideally quantifying those results (e.g., cost savings, process improvements).

Is it important to include certifications and courses on a resume?

Yes, but they should be relevant to the job you are applying for. Adriana notes that certifications are especially important for certain fields, like technology or engineering, while other courses can be included under 'Complementary Education'.

What is the recommended format for listing education on a resume?

Education should be listed in reverse chronological order, with the most recent qualification at the top. Adriana suggests that if you have substantial work experience, education can be placed towards the end, but for those early in their career, it might be better to emphasize educational qualifications.

How does Adriana suggest improving the appearance and formatting of a resume?

Adriana recommends using a professional, clean format with easy-to-read fonts like Calibri. She advises against excessive space, images, or complex designs. The resume should be clear, concise, and focus on content rather than decoration. A well-formatted resume can be presented in one page.

Why is using keywords from the job description important in your resume?

Using relevant keywords from the job description improves the chances of your resume passing through Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS). Adriana highlights that these systems scan resumes for specific terms related to the role, and including them makes your resume more likely to be noticed.

What’s the difference between 'quantitative' and 'qualitative' results in the experience section?

Quantitative results are measurable, like specific percentages or numbers (e.g., increased sales by 20%). Qualitative results, on the other hand, focus on the impact of your work in non-numeric terms, such as improved efficiency or reduced errors. Adriana advises using both types to showcase the full scope of your achievements.
