What advice can you give to beginners and not-so-beginners on creating a resume?

Question

Windows

Good afternoon
From an early age I was fond of computers
In my school years I went to Sergis courses
After the 9th grade, I studied at Boncha College
After college, I entered the university (I could not graduate due to family circumstances, I’m going to re-enter in the near future
) work in the courts
At the time of my dismissal, I was a Consultant (and acting head of the department of informatization and statistics)
Managed a department (albeit a small one)
Did everything (computer repairs, minor repairs of MFPs, updating and configuring software on PCs and servers)
I got to the time of the formation of the IAC therefore, they tested a lot on
us and we had more freedom and access, unlike other courts
I learned a lot over the years of work there
Later I got a job at the plant as a “junior system administrator”
Later I became the head of the department
And as a result I am a TTZI Engineer
During my work, I raised domain, file servers Updated
and ruled 1s on servers
Pulled the network and, at the very least, set up microtics
Raised a video surveillance network on the tracer I figured out
and put in order the system of perco turnstiles and barriers
Later I was trained at perco (although in fact I already knew everything from what they taught by that time)
Worked with suppliers and managers
And in fact organized, albeit not ideal, but stable work at a single plant
If I don’t know something, I google / look for friends / technical support who can answer my questions
Yes, I have gaps in knowledge
I don’t hide it
I’m weak in the theoretical part and I understand this
In fact, I had to deal with many questions on the go
I I do not pretend to be a devops or anything like that
I realized for myself that I grew out of my work at this place and a salary of 30,000 even more desire to find something new
I tried to respond to the vacancies of junior system administrators, enikeys in large and medium-sized companies, but I get a rejection or just ignore
It doesn’t even get to interviews or some kind of communication in most cases
For that, they bombard me with proposals for the RFP, but I won’t be able to pull them because I work at the factory, and in a large company with a large staff and requests, these are slightly different things (and my education is not ZI)
Accordingly, I ask you to help with articles / explanations on how to correctly create a resume and how to present yourself
I will also be grateful if you poke me into good literature, courses that will allow me to improve my knowledge

Answer 1

From an early age I was fond of computers. During my school years, I went to Sergis courses. After the 9th grade, I studied at Bonch College. After college, I entered the university (I couldn’t graduate due to family circumstances, I’m going to reapply in the near future).

Nobody is interested. There is no IT experience.

With computers as an enikey system administrator began to work in the courts

For many, the concept of an enikey sysadmin is someone who changes the mouse and reinstalls the software. That is an advanced user.

At the time of his dismissal, he was a Consultant (and Acting Head of the Informatization and Statistics Department)
Managed a department (albeit a small one)

The tasks are incomprehensible, the size of the department is incomprehensible, it is not clear what the management was. Moreover, in budgetary organizations, the head of the department cannot particularly influence the salary or labor relations.

He was engaged in everything (computer repair, minor repairs of MFPs, updating and configuring software on PCs and servers)

Well. What is this repair?
I understand when under "repaired the MFP" you would write "changed the stove, soldered the capacitors on the boards." And so, the average enikey worker under the repair of printers and MFPs usually pulls out clogged paper and hands over the cartridges for recharging.

I was at the time of the formation of the IAC, so they tested a lot on
us And we had more freedom and access, unlike other courts
I learned a lot during the years of work there

What useful and understandable information.

Later I got a job at the plant as a "junior system administrator"
Later I became the head of the department
And as a result I am a VZI Engineer

What useful and understandable information.

During my work, I raised domain, file servers

Did you create your own domain from scratch, or what is a "domain server"?
What is a file server - did it just share a folder on a disk (now even a blonde can do it), or did it install Novell Netware?

Updated and ruled 1c on servers

What is included? Updated report templates? Did you write code? Or just updated according to the instructions? In many companies, the update is done either by the accountant himself or by a separate person. What you did is not clear.

Pulled the network and, at the very least, set up microtics
Raised the video surveillance network on the tracer Figured out
and put in order the system of perco turnstiles and barriers
Later I was trained in perco (although in fact I already knew everything by that time from what they taught)

Well, at least something specific. But again, Mikrotiks can be configured in different ways. The system of turnstiles and barriers - did you design it yourself or simply optimized the existing one? (Most likely there are very simple settings)

Worked with suppliers and managers

So all this is done in offices where you need to buy some kind of equipment.

And in fact, I organized, if not ideal, but stable work at a single plant
If I don’t know something, then I google / look for acquaintances / technical support who can answer my questions
Yes, I have gaps in knowledge
I do not hide this
I am weak in theory parts and I understand it
In fact, I had to deal with many issues on the go

First of all, the disadvantage is clearly expressed in the form of an inability to formulate one's thoughts and give specifics. And this is one of the most important requirements for any IT specialist.

I tried to apply for vacancies of junior system administrators, enikeys in large and medium-sized companies, but I get a refusal or just ignore

So do the requirements match the resume?

Accordingly, I ask you to help with articles / explanations on how to create a resume correctly and how to present yourself

Yes, you just need to be specific. Technology names. Task volumes. specific areas of responsibility.
For the whole question, except for the word "domain" and "Mikrotiki", there was not a single product name, not a single brand.
If you can’t even formulate even your existing experience into an understandable text, who will take the risk of hiring you and teaching you something that is required for a particular position?
After reading this, I have no idea if you can raise a domain from scratch. Can you set up Wi-Fi with a seamless connection in a private house so that it reaches 100-200m and does not let neighboring kiddy hackers into the local area. Can you at least set up corporate mail or organize some kind of monitoring. Are you good at scripting anything?
There is no information.

Answer 2

Based on my experience on both sides of the barricades:

• Be prepared to answer questions about each technology listed on your resume. If you can't answer, don't point it out.
  
• Do not flaunt too much, but do not be modest in any way. This also applies to salary expectations.
  
• "Knowledge of linux at the administrator level" and "installed openofis on ubuntu" are not the same thing.
  
• It makes sense to paint in detail one or two last places of work.
  
• What happened more than five years ago is not interesting to anyone.
  
• Do not paint your weaknesses, better pull them up.
  
• Remember that robots will search for resumes by keywords and parameters, and people will make decisions.
  

Answer 3

go to hh.ru
and look at the stack/oscop requirements for

vacancies of junior system administrators, enikeev

you write in your resume that you know it,
yes, well, you get acquainted, of course, you
send it out

Answer 4

I can't pull them

- but it's not for you to judge. Recruiters and employers know better. Wherever they call - there and go to interview. Settle down - there you will have colleagues who to consult.

Answer 5

The stream of consciousness did not read. CV would read, but here - not CV. The inability to accurately, concisely and succinctly express an idea comes through immediately (however, it is always the case in the courts, there is a "judicial clerk", a special kind of Russian clerical work ...)
It is not clear why you do not want to move further along the line of information security. If there is a tower and it is technical, then usually you don’t care about specialization, the tower still does not give specific experience in a specific job, it has a different purpose.
The resume should be no more than two printed sheets - no one will read a large resume. All key information should be on the first page - full name, contacts, salary expectations - do not complicate the work of a hack, if there are ten resumes for a vacancy, then five will go to the basket just because there are no contacts.
It makes sense to describe in detail only the last two or three places of work, the rest is brief.
In the ability to master the skill - do not lie, do not overestimate. "I speak Linux at the administrator level" will lead to a certain level of questions being asked at the interview, and "at the advanced user level" - other questions.

Answer 6

Now is the time to be professional in preparing for interviews.
Of course, I'm not a system administrator, but they can advise you to write out the topics that the employer needs and start preparing. And now you can't say anything about your skills. And it's just past.
