Surest way to get an interview call that

Surest way to get an interview call is to put relevent experience in
your resume.

All your experiences need not be in your resume, nor does it require
all your projects listed.

You don't want to put the HR executive selecting your resume to sleep!

Your 2 years of online tutor experience might come handy when you are
applying for a tutur job but don't mention it in gas turbine aero
engine engineering related job.

Your competing and getting big incentives at a call center is not an
achievement to flaunt for a job that requires aerospace engineers!
Save that for a sales job.

Highlighting your technical projects and skills that you acquired in
those projects is what you need to provide.

And not all jobs are made for you. So skip the once that do not cross
your profile.

Be relevant and get the interview call your are waiting for.

How to Send your Resume?

You see an job advert. You then search your email or hard disk for your resume. You modify the dates, mobile number and experience field and send the resume. Well those days when you did that are over.

No longer are the days when your generic all purpose resume can fetch you an interview call? Gone are the days when just by sending your resume, you will guarantee an interview call. Gone are the days when few scribbles in a word document with your name on it was getting you interview calls.

Everybody is sending resume and sending a resume like that takes 5 mins and that fact alone makes that the HR at the other end will get 100’s of resumes. So stop yourself and make sure your resume highlights answers to the following  questions before you hit the send button.

  • Why you are an excellent match for the job?
  • What skills you bring to the organization?
  • Your capacity for doing the work better than other candidates
  • Your ability to solve company or industry problems

If the HR doesn’t see this in your resume in the first two pages, your resume will end up in the recycle bin!!

So before sending your resume, take some time and craft a resume?

Excellence

Read this awesome quote and wanted to share with you all.


Asked how long it took to achieve Excellence, IBM's legendary boss
Tom Watson is said to have answered more or less as follows: "A
minute. You 'achieve' Excellence* by promising yourself right now
that you'll never again knowingly do anything that's not Excellent
—regardless of any pressure to do otherwise by any boss or
situation."


Hope you make that promise and shine in all your work!!

What tools to learn in avionics stream?

A recent mail from the reader of this blog has this question.

"I am in section B and have avionics branch, so what extra course i
can do which is helpful for my career!"

I guess I talk about catia, solidworks, ansys, ungraphics, fluent,
hypermesh etc but I rarly talk about anything realated to this stream
that many in AeSI take.

Before I lay my two thoughts on this subject here, I would like you to
point you to find the old articles in this blog that might help you.

You can find them by clicking this link http://my-aesi.blogspot.com/search?q=avionics


Well that being said, I would like to add that first and foremost take
up c language and start learning it from now starting today. Don't
worry about when and where just resolve that this is one language you
want to master while still pursuing this stream.

And second thing, search for some good blogs or websites that talks
about this subject. Subscribe to them. Read them everyday. You might
not understand everything written in that. That's ok. Just be a part
of the team. Join avionics groups in yahoo, google and linkedin.

Do this two things consistently and do it with a sense of mastering
them, you will require no additional advice from anyone to have a
great start to your career!!

Hope this helps and don't forget to tell me how it goes.

And better still start a blog about your adventures in this stream!! I
would love to hear your experiences.

Good luck!!
