Working at Nooteboom
5 tips for your resume
Are you looking for your dream job? Maybe working at Nooteboom is exactly the opportunity you are looking for! From engineering vacancies and jobs in mechanical engineering to mechanic vacancies and jobs as a repair technician: with us you will certainly find the job that suits you. A job application naturally involves a lot of uncertainty. Because how do you talk to your (possibly) future employer? How do you best express your personality? And how do you introduce yourself during a job interview? These are all frequently asked questions surrounding the application process. However, you have to start at the beginning: a good resume. In this blog we give you 5 tips for your professional resume. This way you ensure that your resume stands out if you want to work at the Royal Nooteboom group!
Distinctive capacity
One of the most important parts of a resume is to differentiate yourself from your competition. There may be dozens of interested people responding to the vacancies you have your eye on. So make it clear in your CV why you are different from all the others. For example, do you have an interesting hobby, a unique talent or can you show on your CV that you have a lot of experience in your field? Write that down!
Include your volunteer work on your CV
Speaking of experience, don’t be afraid to make it clear how much experience you have! This certainly does not have to be just professional experience. For example, do you do volunteer work? That is of course also extremely valuable! Especially if you want to work at Nooteboom. We are a family business full of ambitious employees. And ambition outside your job says a lot about your personality!
Ensure a clear layout
Although you are of course the best candidate for this position, you should not forget that there are other applicants as well. The recruiter may well have to work through dozens of resumes. If the layout of your resume is not clear, he or she may quickly move on to the next one. Choose a clear chronological order to show what you have done. A CV template can help you enormously with this. A template is a document that has been designed in advance by someone else. This will help you enormously to create a clear layout!
Keep it concise
To build on the previous point: keep your resume short and concise. Employers generally only look at your resume briefly, especially if they have many other applicants. It is therefore advisable to limit all information to one A4 sheet. You can always switch to two, especially if you have a lot of relevant experience, but that is really the max.
Create a tailor-made CV
Last, but not least, make sure you tailor your resume. It is important that you post relevant information that matches the vacancies you are applying for. If you want to work at Nooteboom and you have a mechanical engineer vacancy in mind, you should send a completely different CV with your application than if you want to work as a workshop mechanic. So make sure you tailor a resume.
With these 5 tips for your CV, you can certainly expect an email with an invitation to your first interview. Will you become one of our new colleagues? Join #teamnooteboom and come work at Nooteboom!
