Congratulations, you’ve made it through college! You are completely fluent in the use of injectables and cosmetic lasers. You can now start thinking about sending out resumes to prospective employers. Here are six tips for crafting a resume, along with the information you should leave out.
Intimate details
It bears repeating, but this is a résumé, not your autobiography. Don’t give too much personal information away, such as your age, race, wealth, hobbies, etc. Nothing here is required to demonstrate your competence for a position in the medical aesthetics industry.
Needed Compensation
Do not put your desired salary on your resume if you are applying for a position as a medical esthetician, even if you have some idea. It’s something to discuss at the interview or when offered the job. If you state your prerequisites, the employer may believe you’re too picky and pass you over for an interview, even though they may have generous bonuses and commission structures that you were unaware of.
Waste of time
If you are applying for a position as a medical esthetic, it is important that you only mention relevant work and experiences on your resume. Remember when you spent your 10th-grade service project at an animal shelter? That is probably not something you want to include. It’s fine if you have no background in medical esthetic practice. You might highlight your previous work experience and explain how it prepares you for a career in medical esthetics by detailing your duties and responsibilities.
GPA
A student’s grade point average is also not relevant to a CV. A transcript is something you should expect to be asked for by any potential employer who has any interest in learning more about your educational background or grades. If they need to know, your transcript will have the answer for them.
Why I’m Leaving
You shouldn’t explain why you left each of your previous employment on your CV. Don’t waste space on your resume telling the hiring manager this information they can get from you in an interview.
Demands
Regular hours? Your own desk? A supply of K-cups for your Keurig per month? Don’t act like a spoiled diva and don’t put it on your medical esthetic resume if you want to be hired. First impressions matter, and you don’t want to give the wrong one. Instead, compile a list of questions you may ask the interviewer about the organization. How is the atmosphere at this company? How many hours per week does the average worker put in? This can demonstrate your enthusiasm for the organization and your want to learn more about working there.
