Want more interviews? Job searches in tough times like now demand polished resumes more than ever. If you are attempting to write your own resume, these seven tips are important to follow: |
希望有更多的面試機(jī)會? 在當(dāng)今這樣經(jīng)濟(jì)困難的時期，求職者比以往更需要精良的簡歷。如果你打算親自動手寫簡歷，下面是七個重要的建議： |
|
1. Select the best format. |
1.選擇最佳格式 |
| While most resumes are written in a history chronological format, often a better technique is to evenly balance between skill-set description, achievements, and employment. |
多數(shù)簡歷是按照時間順序?qū)懙模墒峭ǔ８玫刈龇ㄊ钦莆蘸?/span>“技能描述”、“業(yè)績”和“工作情況”之間的平衡。 |
| 2. Make certain your document is error free. |
2.確保簡歷文字準(zhǔn)確無誤 |
| Since you are familiar with your own writing, you will "see" what you were thinking and not what is actually on the page. Do not rely on yourself to proofread your work and do not rely on spell-check. Find a friend who has strong grammar skills to check your work. |
因?yàn)槿藗兪煜ぷ约旱奈淖郑?/span>“看到的”是自己所想的，而不是實(shí)際寫在紙上的。不要自己來檢查，不要靠拼寫工具檢查。請一位語法很強(qiáng)的朋友來檢查你制作好的簡歷。 |
| 3. Find a balance between wordiness and lack of detail. |
3.“簡”和“繁”的平衡 |
| Employers need to see details about your work history and experience, but they don't need to know everything. The fact that you were den leader in your Cub Scout troop is irrelevant. Keep information germane to the goal of attaining an interview. Eliminate information that is not related and will not have a direct impact on winning the interview. |
雇主們需要了解你的工作背景、經(jīng)驗(yàn)，可并不需要了解一切。你在童子軍做教練員就是無關(guān)的信息。要讓簡歷內(nèi)容能幫你爭取到面試機(jī)會。刪掉無關(guān)的、對贏得面試不會有直接影響的信息。 |
| 4. Do not use personal pronouns. |
4.不要用人稱代詞 |
| "I," "me," "my," "mine," and "our" should not be on a resume. Resumes are written in first person (implied). Example: For your prior job description, instead of writing: "I hired, trained and supervised a team of assistant managers and sales associates" you would instead state that you "Hired, trained and supervised a team of assistant managers and sales associates." Fragment sentences are perfectly acceptable on a resume and actually preferred. |
“我”，“我的”，“我們的”不應(yīng)該出現(xiàn)在簡歷中。簡歷都是以（隱藏的）第一人稱來書寫的。例如：描述上一份工作時，不要寫成“我曾參與招聘、培訓(xùn)、管理經(jīng)理助理及銷售助手”，而是“招聘、培訓(xùn)、管理經(jīng)理助手及銷售助手”。簡歷上出現(xiàn)“片段句”完全可以，而且在實(shí)際中會更受青睞。 |
| 5. Use numerical symbols for numbers. |
5.以阿拉伯?dāng)?shù)字代替文字 |
| While we are taught in school to spell out numbers less than ten, in resume writing, numerical symbols serve as "eye stops" and are a much better method. Instead of writing "Developed a dynamic team of eight consultants." it would be much more advantageous to state "Developed a dynamic team of 8 consultants." |
雖然上學(xué)時老師教我們“十”以下的數(shù)字都要大寫，阿拉伯?dāng)?shù)字卻可以吸引人們的目光、是更好的數(shù)字表示方法。不要寫成“建設(shè)了一只包括八名顧問，充滿活力的團(tuán)隊”，寫成“建設(shè)了一只包括8 名顧問，充滿活力的團(tuán)隊”會更能獲得優(yōu)勢。 |
| 6. Think "accomplishments" rather than "job duties." |
6.注重“業(yè)績”而不是“職責(zé)” |
| What makes you stand out from the crowd? How did you come up with a way to do things better, more efficiently, or for less cost? What won honors for you? Information such as this is vital, will grab attention, and put your resume at the top of the list. |
讓你出眾的是什么？怎樣才能把事情做得更好、更有效率，成本更小？你因?yàn)槭裁蹿A得過榮譽(yù)? 這些是很重要的信息，會吸引目光，會讓你的簡歷獲得優(yōu)先考慮。 |
| 7. Keep it positive. |
7. 傳遞積極態(tài)度 |
| Reasons for leaving a job and setbacks do not have a place on a resume. Employers are seeking people who can contribute and have successfully performed in the past. Concentrate on communicating these issues and avoid any detracting information. |
離職的原因和過去的挫折都不該出現(xiàn)在簡歷上。雇主們要找的是過去表現(xiàn)成功、能做出貢獻(xiàn)的人。集中精力傳遞這些信息、回避任何轉(zhuǎn)移注意力的信息。 |
| Remember, many first-time job interviews are conducted via telephone rather than in person. Make sure you are prepared for that telephone call when it arrives. And make sure you have a resume that will make the phone ring! |
別忘了，有很多初試是通過電話來進(jìn)行的，而不是當(dāng)面。在電話來的時候要做好準(zhǔn)備。還有，一定讓自己擁有一份能讓那個電話鈴聲響起的簡歷! |
