Jika kita mulai membicarakan “Summary of Experience “ maka sudah 6 secrets of successful resume to get an interview sebagai bagian dalam front page or page 1. Summary of Experience harus diperlakukan sama pentingnya dengan  Career Objective dan Profile yang termasuk dalam Part 1 of Six Secret of Successful Resume That Get an Interview article.

Bagian ini akan mendapatkan perhatian yang cukup serius dari calon boss anda juga dan juga merupakan alat untuk menambah  value kualifikasi anda sebelum pembaca beralih ke halaman 2 resume anda.

Pertanyaannya sekarang, jika kandidatnya tidak mempunyai pengalaman kerja di industri Oil & Gas terus apa yang dapat dimasukkan dalam Summary Of Experience ?

Saya setuju dengan pertanyaan anda ini, jadi sekarang anda perlu mengeksplore diri lebih lanjut, caranya  coba tanya ke diri anda sekarang seperti ?

1. Do I have any significant exceptional achievements in my school or in my last or present job ?

2. Do I have significant knowledge ?

3. Do I have unique skills ?

4. Do I have outstanding personality traits ?

Jika anda tidak mempunyai sama sekali jawaban pertanyaan pertanyaan diatas, maaf saya juga tidak dapat menolong anda lebih lanjut, tetapi saya ragu apakah anda telah benar benar menggali potensi dalam diri anda , coba luangkan waktu untuk merenungkannya sekali lagi atau anda tidak sepenuhnya mengerti dengan pertanyaan diatas ?

Coba saya jelaskan secara ringkas mengenai statement diatas

Significant exceptional achievements tidak selalu dari pengalaman kerja dapat juga anda menyebutkan prestasi akademis atau prestasi waktu menjadi ketua organisasi mahasiswa yang melebihi dari rata rata orang atau istimewa .

Misalnya anda dapat menyelesaikan tugas atau proyek enam bulan lebih cepat dari yang dijadwalkan dan masih dibawah anggaran sebesar 20 juta dollar, tanpa kecelakaan dan tidak mengurangi kwalitasnya.

Knowledge apa saja dan seberapa luas keahlian anda untuk menyelesaikan suatu tugas dalam waktu yang tepat, efisien, dan efektif.  Misalnya anda jago sekali dalam project management, or financial management, or HR management.

Skills seberapa bagus kemampuan anda guna menyelesaikan suatu tugas atau pekerjaan dengan baik dan benar.  Misalnya  good negotiation skill, good communication skill, strong analytical skill, dan excellent problem solving skill.

Personality traits merupakan istilah yang sedang populer masa sekarang yang dapat diartikan sebagai ukuran kepribadian yang dipergunakan untuk menjelaskan sifat dan karakter seseorang.  Kata kata sifat dibawah ini dapat anda pergunakan guna mennerangkan bakat dan sifat anda dalam penulisan resume.

Accurate                          Energetic                        Tactful

Assertive                          Enthusiastic                      Thorough

Creative                            Motivated                          Discreet

Innovative                         Outgoing                           Proactive

Competent                        Productive                  Consciousness

Ada tiga persyaratan untuk membuat Summary Experience yang menawan, seperti

1. Tuliskan minimum tiga experience/exceptional achievement/knowledge/unique skills/personality traits.

2. Harus relevan atau konsisten dengan apa yang anda tulis dalam Career Objective sebelumnya

3. Jangan asal tulis atau nyontek dari teman bahkan berbohong, karena pasti akan ketahuan waktu interview dan ini akan mencoreng kredibilitas anda dalam mencari pekerjaan selanjutnya dan dilain tempat.

Karena resume harus berbahasa Inggris maka sebaiknya kita mulai pembahasan dalam bahasa Inggris.

Here is, sample of bad summary of experience and how to correct it

Summary of Experience

• 
  
• Familiar with computer
  
• Very good in English
  
• Very good team player
  
• Have had 5 years in project cost control
  

This summary will surely raise lots questions

1. Which computer skill does a candidate have ? hardware or software, or MS Office, or even SAP ?

2. Which level of English ? oral or written or even both ?

3. How a candidate can claim he/she very good team player , please clarify !

4. Which types of project in project cost control he/she experienced ? what did /heshe do ?

This summary is to respond one of advertisement, for example, as follows

One of leading PSC in indonesia working with BPMIGAS , seeking for the following talented candidates to work in project department as a member of gas plant project management team

Let us analyze this ad requirements vs candidate fullfilments, in order to see a better picture and not missed anything.
