Job markets have changed more than ever in recent years.
As the pandemic has triggered a great ‘working from home’ experiment and allowed more remote positions to open, we are now entering a new era of globalization.
Businesses are unlocking global talent by removing proximity and visa barriers. Technology, systems, and management styles that enable remote or work-from-home jobs are constantly evolving.
Global employment enables global social mobility not only for employees in the world’s richest countries with large and rich employers hiring for the most lucrative jobs but also for employees in developing & poorer nations.
I have compiled a list of actionable tips for writing a resume for the global job market in 2022 here:
👨💻 As we go global readers will be both humans and machines so build ATS-compliant resumes.
👨💻 Skills will be the focus over qualification and experience, use a skill-based functional hybrid resume format.
👨💻 Gaps will become more common & Gig workers will be preferred so don’t worry about covering up career gaps.
👨💻 Personalization will be key, highlighting your niche specialization and what sets you apart will be key.
👨💻 Update your professional social media profiles so that any recruiter googling you will get a synchronized and apt response.
👨💻 Highlight even the slightest remote work accomplishments on your resume.
👨💻 Highlight all cross-global communication or coordination handled by you.
👨💻 Add links to a GitHub profile, Behance, or any other online portfolio.
👨💻 Use country-specific resume formats, the link to my posts on this is in the comments.
👨💻 Include language skills and any international experience, even if it’s an overseas study group.
👨💻 Highlight your experience of engaging with different cultures and people from different backgrounds.
