將成績歸類
When doing up a chronological CV, you should outline sections of your experience, education and skills to show what you’ve accomplished. HR personnel and employers take less than a minute to scan your CV, so it’s imperative to highlight and organize items into several concise and relevant segments.
按時間順序寫簡歷時,你應該按經歷、教育情況和技能分類來展現(xiàn)你在各方面獲得的成就。HR和雇主只花不到1分鐘的時間看你的簡歷,所以將個人情況分成幾個清晰明了的小板塊描述非常必要。
If you’re a recent graduate and therefore have not yet been employed, put your Education section first. In addition to the basics – university name, degree and graduation date – you can include relevant coursework, honors or awards.
如果你即將畢業(yè)還未被雇傭,應將“教育背景”放在最前面,除了在這塊中寫上大學名稱、學歷和畢業(yè)時間外,還可以加上相關課程和所獲榮譽。
Other categories might include Relevant Work Experience, Volunteer Experience, Computer Skills, Activities, Language Skills and so on.
其他分類還應該包括相關工作經歷、志愿者經歷、參加活動、語言技能等等。
Appearance can make or break your CV
簡歷外觀決定簡歷好壞
Fonts: Whether you email, fax or post your CV, keep your font plain and easy to read. And select a reasonable size – anywhere between 9 and 12 points should be acceptable. Use a font like Arial or Verdana, not Times New Roman.
字體:不管是發(fā)郵件、傳真或是簡歷,所用字體一定要簡潔并方便閱讀。字號選擇要合理——9號到12號大小都比較適合閱讀;字體可以是Arial或Verdana,不要用Times New Roman。
Formatting: Too many different fonts, colors and graphic styles will hold the reader up. Simple bullets are best for separating your duties and skills; use bold and italics sparingly. Formatting should highlight your accomplishments, not draw attention away from them.
版式:太多的字體、顏色和圖案會讓看簡歷的人沒興趣再讀下去。簡單的小分句可以把技能和工作清晰表述出來,并適當使用粗體和斜體。版式是用來突出個人成就,而不是降低讀者興趣的。
Content is King
內容是王道
Action-words: Instead of starting your sentence with a noun, kick off with an active verb.
動詞:使用動詞而不是名詞開頭來描述你的經歷。
Numbers: It’s a good idea to include numbers, percentages and amounts in your job descriptions to back up your achievements. For example, Increased turnover by 20% in first year. Supervised a team of 10 people.
數(shù)字:在職位描述中用數(shù)字、百分比或數(shù)量支撐你獲得的成就是非常占優(yōu)勢的。比如:提高了20%的周轉率,管理了10人團隊。
Length: No one wants to scan through two or more pages of long-winded accomplishments and experience. If it doesn’t all fit, cut it down to the most relevant and impressive items.
長度:沒有人愿意看超過兩頁的寫滿成就和經歷的簡歷,如果所獲成就并不是和職位有很強的關聯(lián)度,可以把簡歷長度縮短,以內容最相關,招聘官看后印象深刻為準。
