1. Send your CV in English <\/strong><\/p>\n

In international companies you will increasingly encounter hiring managers who do not speak Polish. By sending your cv in English, you will show your readiness to work in a global environment and make the process of evaluating your qualifications easier for those who do not speak Polish. This is an important step to present yourself professionally at the start. If you decide to send a cv to PAYBACK, we will ask you for a cv in English.<\/p>\n

2. Professional profile <\/strong><\/p>\n

The professional profile is a brief introduction at the beginning of your resume that summarizes your key skills, past accomplishments and career goals. It’s the first place a recruiter will look, so it’s a good idea to make it clear what sets you apart and what career direction you’re interested in. A well-constructed professional profile, highlights your core competencies and experience, and clarifies what you are looking for in the job market.<\/p>\n

3. Responsibilities<\/strong><\/p>\n

When describing your work experience, list the responsibilities for each position in your cv. Try not to make it a generic, rather specific and factual, also include the necessary details. It is also worthwhile to present the results you have achieved. This way you show your skills and the value you brought to your previous jobs. Here are examples.<\/p>\n

4. Skills section <\/strong><\/p>\n

The skills section should focus on competencies that are relevant to the position you are applying for. Choose those that you actually possess practically, not theoretically, since you may be asked to provide specific examples of their application during the interview. Also remember to update this section as you acquire new skills or certifications that are key to your industry.<\/p>\n

5. Interests – enter those that set you apart<\/strong><\/p>\n

The interests section may seem insignificant, but it is an opportunity to showcase your personality and passions. Instead of typical hobbies such as \u201cbooks,\u201d \u201cmusic\u201d or \u201csports,\u201d try to stand out with something that will pique the recruiter’s curiosity. Examples: calligraphy , raising geckos, Charlie Chaplin’s filmography, arranging Rubik’s cubes. Such original interests can provide a talking point during the recruitment process and help you stand out from other candidates.<\/p>\n

If you don’t have a distinctive hobby, you can always write something that is real, personal and just about you, such as \u201cspending time with your son\/daughter on a bicycle.\u201d<\/p>\n
