How to write a design engineer resume?

The resume of a design engineer is specific, on the case, information that allows the employer to get the first impression of you as a future employee and subordinate in absentia. It reflects what the future employee owns and how he knows how to work. More complete information about the candidate for the position will be revealed in the cover letter and at the interview.

The resume from the applicant for the position of design engineer should contain basic information, listed point by point.

• Personal Information (Name, city of residence, date of birth). Possibly an indication of marital status. If you are a student, indicate the year of admission and the university, faculty where you study, specialty, form of study. Distance learning and free attendance for excellent studies is a reason for the employer to give you a chance to work with the employees of his company.
• Education. Indicate college, university, graduated from, specialty, years of study, faculty. The employer is informed about the specialization by additional courses you attended in your free time from your main studies (and additional work, if you worked part-time during these years). If you only have a school behind you, then without self-education and taking courses for the successful work you have chosen, you are unlikely to be accepted.
• Work experience. Indicate the length of service, periods of work (by years, it is possible to within a month) at previous jobs. Name the companies and positions you have held, briefly describe your job responsibilities at each of your past jobs. Do not withhold information about achievements, career advancement (if any).
• List your skills and personality traits... The list should be short but comprehensive. Only the essence, nothing more.
• If the employer asks for salary expectations, indicate the range of the amount per month for which you are willing to work.

It is also useful to take into account some of the features, without which a recruiter can send your resume to the basket, and not to the head of the company to approve your candidacy for an interview.

If you want to get the position of a leading design engineer, but suddenly found yourself gifted in two or more areas of activity, you do not need to spread, for example, that you have taken seamstress courses. But information about the passage of training on software packages 1C, xCAD (for example, AutoCAD), Compas 3D or similar, knowledge of which will definitely be required in the work of a design engineer, you must specify... This will increase your chances of being accepted for this position.

Don't list a hobby that runs counter to your main job if it doesn't complement it. Information about what you earn in your free time by "pumping" and selling accounts in online games will spoil the impression of you. However, if you create drawings and projects of household furniture, which did not exist before, are engaged in aeromodelling or something similar, then such information characterizes you as a potential designer-developer.

Don't hide the fact that high school internships, voluntary unpaid work in institutions and organizations contribute to deepening your knowledge and gaining new experience. Will be useful:

• information about summer work;
• assistance to specific teachers in your university;
• work as a private entrepreneur (even with varying success);
• temporary work in all kinds of projects during study;
• presentations of exhibition stands.

This is your work portfolio of successful specialty cases. It informs about your desire to work for a decent result. Your other points may include perfect command of English, possession of a driver's license for at least driving cars (B-category), won competitions, elective positions in the university (starting with the headman), academic performance above 4 points and various technical skills.
