What did Microsofts absatzwirtschaft Manager learn from Enhancv677Hi Andr, can you tell us a bit about yourself?Hey, I am Andr and Im originally from Lisbon. I have lived in Poland and in the UK during the last 10 years. I have a Masters Degree in Strategic Marketing and I love everything about growth/startup marketing. At the moment, I work as a Marketing Manager at Microsoft where I am focusing on taking the best of Windows 10 to the education target segment.Outside of my professional bubble, I am an extreme sports junky. I love surfing, skiing, wakeboarding, you name it. It helps me have a higher sense of reality and taught me that fear is actually a good thing to have. I am also a big fan of football. I was a captain of a football team Estoril Praia in Portugal and we won a National Championship together great timesWhat was the reason you created your resume?I wasnt looking for a job. But I like to keep my resume up to date in case something worth applying for appears and Id ne ed one right away. Up to this point, my resume looked like the basic university template with no flair. It was just too average, and I dont like averageOne day I was browsing through my LinkedIn wall and stumbled upon a post with Marissa Mayers resume. As a marketer, the amount of likes/shares it had impressed me but not only that. I instantly thought I need something like that. So I went to the website and signed up. Im very happy with my resume now. It simply ticks all the boxes visual yet professional, great sections, easy to use and creative.What do you like about Enhancv? Did you learn anything from it?The main thing I love about Enhancv is that its super easy to use and I can set up a resume in literally a few minutes. If I need to make any changes, I just go to my profile and add/delete whats necessary within a few clicks.And what did I learn from Enhancv? I learned that we dont always need to listen to what all university career departments say. Just go with something fresh that catches the eye. And by that I dont only mean the layout. The sections Enhancv offers such as the Most Proud Of one are great. This lets you show your personality and qualities employers look for nowadays.Related articlesWhat Game of Thrones needs an HR departmentHow to make your resume stand out according to three recruiters3 strengths you can develop only by switching jobsCreate your human-centric resume with Enhancv nowI also got a positive feedback from many of my friends and colleagues at Microsoft. As its an unusual resume, I wanted to see what they thought and sent it to them. And they all loved it They thought the resume was easy to read, and they appreciated the fact that you can tailor the colors of the resume to the colors of the company youre applying for (like red for Vodafone). Oh, and all of them would hire me, which is greatWhat message would you send to other job seekers out there?To find your dream job is a huge challenge.
