Task 2.8 Translate from Russian into English a short passage about writing a not-standard Resume.

Нестандартное резюме

Если Вы решили написать нестандартное резюме, имейте ввиду - такая стратегия хороша не во всех случаях. Как руководство к действию она может быть принята представителями творческих профессий, которым " позволено" отходить от стандарта. Что же касается специалистов других (не творческих) профессий - инженеров, водителей, бухгалтеров, и т.п., - то здесь предпочтительнее соискателям оставаться в рамках официально утвержденных норм. Это связано, прежде всего, с тем, что от специалистов данного профиля требуется точность, скрупулезность и обязательное соблюдение должностных инструкций.

Следует учитывать, что кадровые агентства, как правило, используют присланные им резюме как источник получения необходимой информации о соискателе, поэтому она в " сухом" виде переводится в стандартный бланк резюме, в котором " творческие вольности" аннулируются. Если вы присылаете нестандартное резюме непосредственно работодателю, тогда есть шанс, что ваш творческий подход будет по достоинству оценен тем, кому он, собственно и предназначался [9].
