寫好英文簡歷的5個技巧
簡歷是你在職場老手面前的第一次亮相,它可能在10秒鐘決定你的命運,因此每年都被人大書特書,但仍然有成千上萬的簡歷成為垃圾,為避免太多悲劇重演。下面是yjbys小編和大家分享的寫好英文簡歷的5個技巧,更多內(nèi)容請訪問(www.ruiwen.com/jianli)。
1.勇于表現(xiàn)個人風格,不要拘泥形式
英文簡歷沒有所謂的固定形式,你必須衡量自身以及職務(wù)需求,打造最能凸顯優(yōu)勢的內(nèi)容呈現(xiàn)方式,并且格式要自行設(shè)計。往往履歷本身的整體獨創(chuàng)性也會是列入評分的項目之一。以所附的模板為例,有時候你可能不一定要寫出「professional Qualities」(技能以及專長)這個項目,或甚至以「Summary」(經(jīng)歷概要)來加以代替,這些都完全取決于你自己的彈性。
2.文章以條列編排為最高原則
主試者可能每天要看的履歷不只上百封,停留在一份履歷的時間頂多不超過10~20秒的時間。因此建議將文章內(nèi)容以條列方式呈現(xiàn),讓主試者在短短的時間內(nèi)能馬上抓住這份履歷的重點。
3.盡量控制在一張以內(nèi)的份量
一份厚厚的簡歷對忙碌的人事主管來說會是個可怕的夢魘。因此即使有再輝煌的事跡值得陳述,還不如多費一點心思設(shè)計你的版面,務(wù)必以不超過兩張紙為原則。
4.搭配求職信(cover letter)
這部份將在后面更詳細的說明。求職信兼任著自我推薦的角色,是英文履歷不可或缺的搭檔。有了她,你的履歷將威力倍增喔。另外下表說明在撰寫履歷以及求職信時,建議可以參考你個人工作經(jīng)歷的長短以及是否有職業(yè)上的轉(zhuǎn)型等來做一些重點調(diào)整。
5.英文簡歷并不需要附上照片
除非應(yīng)征的公司有所要求,否則一般并不需要貼上照片。
簡歷書的基本寫法,針對轉(zhuǎn)職驗較少的求職者
字里行間表現(xiàn)出你的十足干勁
寫英文簡歷的時候,要注意到是否有「起承轉(zhuǎn)合」的整體感。為什么你要選擇這間公司以及這個職務(wù)?你自己本身具有哪些能力?今后你想做些什么?你自己的賣點在哪里?照你自己的方式以及風格,將這些東西順序的表達出來。
但另外一方面,工作經(jīng)歷較少的人可能相對的較不容易展現(xiàn)其績效以及能力。因此在這里你要善加使用「successfully」、「effectively」等有沖擊性的形容詞來強調(diào)你對工作的企圖心及熱誠。不過要注意你的英文用字遣詞要到什么深度,必須衡量個人真正的能力。千萬不要為了表現(xiàn)英文能力而硬擠出過于艱澀的文章。到時候面試的時候露出馬腳,那可就糟了。
拓展閱讀:如何讓你的英文簡歷簡潔有力
How long should your résumé be? It’s a long-standing debate among recruiters, but there is one thing they agree on: it needs to be relevant. This is true whether you're just out of school or have worked for 20 years, and it means your résumé needs to be concise and tailored to that job.
你的簡歷到底應(yīng)該寫多長?這是招聘人員一直在爭論的問題,但有一點是大家公認的:簡歷要與申請的職位緊密相關(guān)。無論你是剛畢業(yè)還是已經(jīng)工作了20年,這一點都適用,它的意思是你的簡歷必須簡練并且只和申請的工作相關(guān)。
Recruiters won't read a full bulleted list of your duties and everything you did at every job. They only want to read what in your background is applicable to the particular job and/or company to which you’re applying. So your task is to make the information easily available.
招聘人員不會讀完所有你列出的工作職責和過往工作經(jīng)歷。他們只會瀏覽你的背景中適合所申請的職位或公司的部分。所以你的任務(wù)就是讓他們能輕易找到這些信息。
If you’ve just graduated from college or even graduate school immediately following college, it won’t be hard to keep your résumé to one page. Even if you already have a one- or two-page résumé, there are probably things you can remove that don't relate to your current job application. The great news is that LinkedIn or a personal website can be used as a space to put all that extra information. Think of it as the curriculum vitae (CV) version of your résumé – it can be as long as it needs to be.
如果你剛剛大學畢業(yè)或是研究生畢業(yè),那么想要簡歷只有一張紙并不難。即使你的簡歷有一頁甚至兩頁紙,那也肯定有一些和你申請的工作無關(guān)的內(nèi)容可以刪掉。好消息是像領(lǐng)英或其他個人網(wǎng)站可以用來儲存那些不相干的個人信息。把個人主頁當成詳細版的簡歷——想寫多長寫多長。
What to Keep on Your Résumé
簡歷上應(yīng)該寫什么
Career summary. Summarize your work experience and skills at the top, but apply it to the job of interest: What do you have that the employer is looking for?
職業(yè)生涯總結(jié)。將工作經(jīng)歷和技能寫在簡歷頂端,但是只保留和目標工作相關(guān)的部分:也就是雇主需要的工作經(jīng)歷和技能。
Bullets. Try not to get hung up on making your résumé only one or two pages to please recruiters and start deleting things without careful consideration. Your goal is to get the recruiter to read. How can you do that? Make it pertinent, in other words, make it worth their time. Answer what they're asking; think of the job description as a questionnaire – what on the description can you answer with a solid “yes, I’ve done that” or a “I’ve done some of that?" Those are the items that you keep on the résumé you’re sending.
列點。不要為了討好招聘人員把簡歷縮短到一兩頁就開始不經(jīng)考慮的刪除內(nèi)容。你的目的是讓他們看你的簡歷。如何做到呢?只寫相關(guān)內(nèi)容,換句話說,就是讓他們覺得看簡歷的時間沒有白費;卮鹚麄儐柕膯栴}:將職位描述看成問卷——職位描述中有哪些要求你可以用“完全滿足“或“有過這個經(jīng)歷”或“有部分經(jīng)驗” 來回答。這是你在簡歷上要寫的東西。
Education. If you graduated more than five years ago, you don’t need to include years of study. You do need to list your degree(s), school name(s) and location(s).
教育背景。如果你已經(jīng)畢業(yè)5年了,你沒必要把學生時代的經(jīng)歷寫進簡歷。但是學歷,畢業(yè)院校及其所在地是必須要寫的。
Awards. Recognition is something that’s quite important to note, so in most cases, you’ll want to leave this on your résumé.
獲獎經(jīng)歷。獲獎經(jīng)歷是非常重要的一項,大多情況下,簡歷上都要有。
While it’s true that one person may have several pages of relevant information for the job, and another may have only one page of pertinent background, it’s worth taking a closer look to see if there are things taking up valuable space. If a recruiter sees a lot of details that don't pertain to the job, you're likely to lose her attention.
當然有一些人和工作相關(guān)的經(jīng)歷就能寫好幾頁紙,但另一些人相關(guān)背景只能寫一頁,仔細檢查是否每一部分內(nèi)容值得寫進簡歷是值得的。如果招聘人員看到很多和工作不想關(guān)的細節(jié),他的注意力就不會放在你身上了。
What to Consider Taking Off
哪些內(nèi)容可以考慮刪去
Community activities. If you’re changing industries and you’ve done volunteer work in the one you’re transitioning to, it’s good to include that. However, if the volunteer work is unrelated to the job you’re pursuing and your document is more than two pages, strike this and include it in your LinkedIn profile instead. You could bring it up during small talk at an interview, too.
社區(qū)活動。如果你換了工作領(lǐng)域,但曾經(jīng)在你申請的工作領(lǐng)域做過志愿工作,這部分是可以保留的。但是如果志愿工作和申請的工作無關(guān)而且簡歷已經(jīng)超過兩頁了,刪去這部分然后把它寫進領(lǐng)英網(wǎng)站的個人資料中。你也可以在面試環(huán)節(jié)提到這次經(jīng)歷。
Coursework. Again, if you’re transitioning into a new field or fresh out of school, it’s good to include relevant coursework. There is no reason to include this information if you’ve been working for a while and you're not making a significant career change.
課程作業(yè)。同樣,如果你更換了工作領(lǐng)域或剛剛畢業(yè),相關(guān)的課程作業(yè)可以寫進簡歷。但如果你已經(jīng)有工作經(jīng)歷而且并不打算跨行業(yè)工作的話,就沒必要寫課程作業(yè)了。
Skills. There are many skills out there from language to technical. Are your particular skills related to the job? If so, are they already reflected in an earlier part of your résumé? If the answer to the first question is no, you don’t need to include them.
技能。技能有很多種,從語言到專業(yè)技術(shù)。你的某項技能是否和工作相關(guān)呢?如果是,那么它們是否已經(jīng)在之前提到了呢?如果對于第一個問題的回答是否定的,那就不用寫了。
Hobbies. These make great talking points and may produce chemistry with a hiring manager. However, it takes up critical space.
愛好。這部分可以成為很好的談資,甚至會和雇主產(chǎn)生奇妙的化學反應(yīng)。但是,篇幅很重要。
Many other countries and certain industries in the U.S. use a curriculum vitae (CV) instead of a résumé. These are generally much longer and cover more personal data. You can find samples online if you’ve been asked to write one.
其他國家和美國一些工作領(lǐng)域會使用個人履歷而不是簡歷。個人履歷比簡歷要長得多,而且涵蓋更多的個人資料。你可以在網(wǎng)上找到模板。
What to Save for LinkedIn
哪些內(nèi)容可以寫在領(lǐng)英網(wǎng)站上
Your LinkedIn profile should have the information in your résumé plus additional material. In other words, it’s the full generic data sheet on you and you can include as much information as you wish.
你的領(lǐng)英資料應(yīng)該包括簡歷和其他附加材料。換句話說,它包含你所有的基本資料,你想寫多少信息就可以寫多少。
In addition to including community activities, coursework, skills, volunteer work and hobbies, you can insert causes that you care about, professional development activities and affiliations. You can include presentations, publications and other knowledge that you possess. This is a good place to go beyond your professional self to show what you do outside of work; just don’t get too personal.
除了社區(qū)活動,課程作業(yè),技能,志愿工作和愛好,你可以寫自己關(guān)注的事業(yè),職業(yè)發(fā)展活動和隸屬關(guān)系。你可以上傳演講、出版書籍和其他你擁有的知識。這是一個展示工作之外的自己的絕佳平臺;只是不要人身攻擊。
Nowadays, the send-one-résumé-to-all approach doesn't work. Each résumé should be relevant to the job to which you’re applying, which means extra work on your part to ensure the right pieces are there. It’s not a question of “should my résumé be one page?” but “is my résumé relevant enough to the job so that the recruiter will read it and consider me as a serious candidate?”
現(xiàn)今,一份簡歷同時發(fā)給多家公司是行不通的。每份簡歷都要和申請的工作密切相關(guān),所以為了確保每家公司拿到正確的簡歷,你要多干些活了。這不是“我的簡歷是否應(yīng)該在一頁紙內(nèi)?”的問題,而是“我的簡歷是否和所申請的工作相關(guān)以至于招聘人員能看到我的簡歷并把我列為重要候選人?”
