For this reason, it is so important that you present a clear candidacy through your Curriculum vitae. The main key to doing it is synthesize the informationthat is, present it briefly so that the CV does not extend much.

Regarding the length of the resume, the one we most recommend for an intern is that it be one page long. . On the other hand, no matter how much trust you have with whoever will be in charge of internal promotion, you should always use professional languageremember that you are participating in a formal process.

An important characteristic of the CV is its format, our recommendation is that you choose the mixed or combined. In it you have the opportunity to focus on your experience, but also on your skills. If you use this format, the structure to follow is 👇

Do not assume that the recruiter will know who you are as soon as they start reading the content of your CV, remember that several colleagues may be involved in this selection process. So don’t stop add your full name in the header of your resume.

In addition to your full name, write your address, email and mobile numberThese are the ways in which the recruiter will contact you. Of course, these are not the only contact details that you can include in your CV. Nowadays, links to profiles on professional websites or other platforms where you publicize your professional life are often used.

An element that cannot be missing from your resume is a title in which you specify what your profession is and briefly describe one of your strengths. The title takes up one line and once you write it, the header should look like this 👍

Explain why you are a good choice for a promotion

When you send your resume to the same company you are working for in order to be a candidate for a promotion, write a professional profile. Ideally, what you write on it focus on what you have done in office What are you currently occupying?

In addition to achievements, in the professional profile it is possible to write about your skills, these must demonstrate your progress and adapt to the position which you want to access. No matter what you spend writing in the section, keep it concise and all in a paragraph of no more than five lines.

When you write this paragraph, don’t praise the company too muchas this makes the language unprofessional. Do not appeal to the fact that you have been working in the company for several years either. to generate a sense of obligation to promote yourself. This has a negative effect as it causes the recruiter to discard your resume.

So that you fully understand what is the correct way to write the professional profile, we leave you the following example 👍

CORRECT

Warehouse worker with 4 years of experience. My work in the logistics area made me interested in it, so I decided to specialize by studying Logistics and Transportation Engineering. This career in conjunction with my work as a warehouse clerk allowed me to acquire knowledge in package flow management, personnel coordination, and appropriate malnutrition of containers.

Take a tour of the career path within the company

Perhaps the recruiter does not know your performance in the company, so you have to make it clear in the “Experience” section. The goal is for him to notice all the ways in which you have helped the company and that determines how you will continue to contribute if you are chosen to fill the vacancy.

Not only can you write about your work in the company, it is also allowed to include your experiences in other companies if you have them. Nevertheless, give maximum focus to the position you occupy. In each job you must include the following information 👇

Position occupied.
Exact name of the company.
Month and year in which you joined and date of departure. In the case of your current employment, instead of the end date, write “Current.”

now use bullet points to make a list with your achievements most outstanding, to talk about them, write a sentence of one or even a line and a half. Each sentence must begin with an action verb that shows that you actively participated in the procedure that led to the achievement of that achievement.

Let’s see the example corresponding to this section 👇

Junior Systems Engineer
MP Engineering, Cáceres, Spain
August 2021 – Present

I participated in projects to install systems in 9 companies.
I identified the conflicts in the network of 3 companies and made the corrections.
I migrated the servers of 5 companies to the Cloud.
I reduced the failures generated in the internal system by 85%.

📌 “How many achievements can I list in the work experience section?” The ideal number of achievements is between 3 and 5.

Remember or update the data about your education

Even when it is an internal promotion, the recruiter continues to value your academic training, especially if you have studied another degree after being hired. When you write about your studies, you not only mention the name of the university degree or title received, you need to be a little more specific.

After writing the name of the formation, indicate what was the university where you studied and the dates. The latter, similar to the data in the experience section, corresponds to the date on which you began the degree and the date of its conclusion.

Don’t forget to include any studies that suit the position and that you have completed while you have been working at the company. Because the level of experience you have when applying to an internal recruitment process, we do not consider it necessary to make a list of academic achievements.

Once explained how to write this section, we leave you the example that corresponds to it 👇

Degree in Labor Relations and Human Resources
Complutense University of Madrid
April 2013 – June 2017

Specify what skills make you a great candidate

The “Skills” section gives you the opportunity to increase the value your application has acquired so far. In it you write both the competencies that are closely related to the position available as personal skills that help you fulfill the functions in an enjoyable way.

The technical skills to mention depend entirely on the job title, so you should know the job well to know which ones are best to name. As for the soft skillsthese are the ones that allow you to be more efficient at work, have better relationships with your colleagues, lead teams and more.

The section is made up of a list in which you only name, do not describe, between five and eight abilities.

Write a direct additional section

Is there a professional aspect that you would like to mention because it meets the expectations of the recruiter, but you haven’t had a chance to do it? Is it a course or a specific skill like speaking a language? If your answers were affirmative, make another section in your CV that is titled “Additional information”.

When you apply for an internal promotion, the Additional data that contributes the most to you standing out are 👇

Languages.
digital skills.
Complementary studies.
Participation in conferences.
Publications in magazines and other media.

The information of this class is placed in a list in which you do not have to explain what each piece of information consists of. Rather, as in “Skills” you only mention them.

Next, we give you some tips that will help you stand out when you participate in a process of this type 👇
