Strong points and weak points

[kashif_nazeer]

:salam2:

I hope this post finds everyone in the best of health and iman inshaAllah.
I have a couple of questions,
1)When you mention strong points and weak points in your resume,do you mention professional or related to your character?
2)This might sound stupid...but isn't it like boasting about yourself and might open a gate for kibr ?

Assalaam walaikum,


Concerning your resume:

This is a brief introduction to you. It gives general information. You save the important stuff for the interview. You do not list you area of weakness on your resume. That is to be discussed during the interview.

You do not boast. You list your strengths or qualifications. Those are simply what you have accomplished thus far. Your qualifications are necessary to get the job.

You can not boast your way into a job.

Let resume speak for you, not boast about you.

Usually the resume's look similar is what I was told in college. And that, there are very few resume's which stand out, and even if they do it still takes a good litmus test to spot the right skills for a role. Stating one's ability in a matter of fact tone is not boasting. A boast gets busted at its weakest moment. So its good to assess yourself well and figure out how you can be of help in the Employer's halaal pursuit. For all the restlessness/anxiety an interview process creates, the employer too is in same boat, looking out for a suitable candidate, a helping hand who can shoulder their responsibilities and thereby fulfill personal aspirations. So, let resume reflect self positively.

Some might say that the world is competitive and superlative is the word, but frankly the world out there is co-operative even in the worst of times. Its the interview, that gives a 'good' interviewer a glimpse of your view and outlook. Its also the interview that gives you a good glimpse of the employer. Make it worthwhile, learning experience. It often takes months and years for a company to realize if the recruit was worthwhile or not.

Let your resume speak for you and let it not boast about you. Let it cover your Objective, goal, aspiration , education, experience and other information relevant to your job. Information about you, thats relevant to job in hand, should make into your resume with least words.

A outlook that's honest, humble and Holistic works. And never throw away the values... and never forget to thank Almighty Allah.

Step into your interview room being aware that your representative, Your Resume is already in the room waiting for you, after successfully representing you to the employer ...

I was under the impression that talking about your skills and achievements is like boasting.

Jazakallhu Khayr ,waBarakallah feek brother,
that was really helpful,it certainly cleared the nervousness some candidates hold that the interviewer might eat them up alive.I realised that in todays world hiring process involving interviews have been blown up and their relevance have been replaced by a feeling of anxiety and nervousness.I agree that life is about having experiences and what we really are and our connection with Allah and how it affects our character is the determining factor.
