1 Wrong format

One of the most common electrical design portfolio and resume mistakes is using the wrong format. Depending on your target audience, you may need to use different formats for your portfolio and resume. For example, if you are applying for a job in a traditional company, you may need to use a PDF format for both your portfolio and resume, as it is more professional and secure. However, if you are applying for a freelance project or a job in a creative agency, you may need to use a web-based format for your portfolio and resume, as it is more interactive and dynamic. You should also consider the device and platform that your potential employer or client will use to view your portfolio and resume, and make sure that they are compatible and responsive.

L’une des erreurs de conception électrique et de CV les plus courantes consiste à utiliser le mauvais format. Selon votre public cible, vous devrez peut-être utiliser différents formats pour votre portfolio et votre CV. Par exemple, si vous postulez pour un emploi dans une entreprise traditionnelle, vous devrez peut-être utiliser un format PDF pour votre portfolio et votre CV, car il est plus professionnel et sécurisé. Cependant, si vous postulez pour un projet indépendant ou un emploi dans une agence de création, vous devrez peut-être utiliser un format Web pour votre portfolio et votre CV, car il est plus interactif et dynamique.

2 Too much or too little information

Another common mistake is providing too much or too little information in your portfolio and resume. You want to strike a balance between showcasing your best work and being concise and relevant. You should avoid including irrelevant or outdated projects, skills, or achievements that do not match the requirements or expectations of your target audience. You should also avoid including too many details or technical jargon that may confuse or bore your audience. Instead, you should focus on highlighting your most relevant and impressive projects, skills, and achievements that demonstrate your value and potential as an electrical designer. You should also use clear and simple language that communicates your main points effectively.

Brevity is king. Resume's serve to highlight skills and accomplishments, so it doesn't need to be like an essay. Having the right keywords and a format easy on the eye will make someone pause and read.

fournir trop ou trop peu d’informations dans votre portfolio et votre CV. Vous voulez trouver un équilibre entre la présentation de votre meilleur travail et la concision et la pertinence. Vous devez éviter d’inclure des projets, des compétences ou des réalisations non pertinents ou obsolètes qui ne correspondent pas aux exigences ou aux attentes de votre public cible. Vous devez également éviter d’inclure trop de détails ou de jargon technique qui pourraient confondre ou ennuyer votre public. Au lieu de cela, vous devriez vous concentrer sur la mise en évidence de vos projets, compétences et réalisations les plus pertinents et les plus impressionnants qui démontrent votre valeur et votre potentiel en tant que concepteur électrique.

3 No context or results

A third common mistake is not providing enough context or results for your portfolio and resume. You should not just list your projects, skills, or achievements without explaining how they relate to your electrical design goals, challenges, or solutions. You should also not just describe what you did, but also why you did it, how you did it, and what impact or outcome it had. You should use the STAR method (Situation, Task, Action, Result) to structure your portfolio and resume entries, and provide quantifiable and verifiable evidence of your results. For example, you can use numbers, percentages, testimonials, awards, or recognition to show how your electrical design work improved efficiency, performance, quality, safety, or customer satisfaction.

ne pas fournir suffisamment de contexte ou de résultats pour votre portfolio et votre CV. Vous ne devriez pas simplement énumérer vos projets, compétences ou réalisations sans expliquer comment ils se rapportent à vos objectifs, défis ou solutions de conception électrique. Vous ne devez pas seulement décrire ce que vous avez fait, mais aussi pourquoi vous l’avez fait, comment vous l’avez fait et quel impact ou résultat cela a eu. Vous devez utiliser la méthode STAR (Situation, tache, action, résultat) pour structurer votre portfolio et vos entrées de CV, et fournir des preuves quantifiables et vérifiables de vos résultats. Par exemple, vous pouvez utiliser des chiffres, des pourcentages, des témoignages, des récompenses

4 No personalization or differentiation

A fourth common mistake is not personalizing or differentiating your portfolio and resume. You should not use a generic or template-based portfolio or resume that does not reflect your unique personality, style, or value proposition as an electrical designer. You should also not copy or mimic other electrical designers' portfolios or resumes, as that may make you look unoriginal or dishonest. Instead, you should customize your portfolio and resume according to your target audience, industry, niche, or project. You should also use your portfolio and resume to showcase your unique selling points, such as your creativity, innovation, problem-solving, or collaboration skills. You should also use your portfolio and resume to tell your story, such as your passion, motivation, or vision for electrical design.

Une erreur courante est de ne pas personnaliser ou différencier votre portfolio et votre CV. Vous ne devez pas utiliser un portfolio ou un CV générique ou basé sur un modèle qui ne reflète pas votre personnalité, votre style ou votre proposition de valeur unique en tant que concepteur électrique. Vous ne devez pas non plus copier ou imiter les portfolios ou les CV d’autres concepteurs électriques, car cela pourrait vous faire para?tre peu original ou malhonnête. Au lieu de cela, vous devez personnaliser votre portfolio et votre CV en fonction de votre public cible, de votre industrie, de votre créneau ou de votre projet.

5 No proofreading or feedback

A fifth common mistake is not proofreading or getting feedback on your portfolio and resume. You should not submit your portfolio and resume without checking them for errors, inconsistencies, or gaps in your electrical design work. You should also not rely on your own judgment or opinion, as you may be biased or overlook some issues. Instead, you should proofread your portfolio and resume multiple times, using tools like Grammarly, Hemingway, or ProWritingAid to check your spelling, grammar, punctuation, readability, and tone. You should also get feedback from other electrical designers, mentors, peers, or friends, who can offer you constructive criticism, suggestions, or compliments on your portfolio and resume.

Before sending out your portfolio and resume, kindly request for the assistance of a senior colleague in the field with the same experience to help to review. Peer review is very essential.

Une erreur courante est de ne pas relire ou obtenir des commentaires sur votre portfolio et votre CV. Vous ne devriez pas soumettre votre portfolio et votre CV sans les vérifier pour les erreurs, les incohérences ou les lacunes dans votre travail de conception électrique. Vous ne devriez pas non plus vous fier à votre propre jugement ou opinion, car vous pourriez être partial ou négliger certaines questions. Au lieu de cela, vous devriez relire votre portfolio et le reprendre plusieurs fois, en utilisant des outils tels que Grammarly, Hemingway ou ProWritingAid pour vérifier votre orthographe, votre grammaire, votre ponctuation, votre lisibilité et votre ton.

6 No update or follow-up

A sixth common mistake is not updating or following up on your portfolio and resume. You should not assume that your portfolio and resume are static or final documents that you can create once and forget about. You should also not assume that your portfolio and resume will automatically get you hired or contracted without any further action. Instead, you should update your portfolio and resume regularly, adding new projects, skills, or achievements that reflect your current electrical design work and goals. You should also follow up on your portfolio and resume submissions, sending polite and professional emails or messages to your potential employers or clients, expressing your interest, enthusiasm, and availability for electrical design work.
