英文简历写作基本要求与技巧
简历是对你所掌握的技能和取得的成就的总结,必须简洁,最多不超过两页。你可以任意选择最适合自己的简历模板,以吸引你的潜在雇主,并扬长避短。在某种程度上说,哪一种简历更适合自己取决于自身的职业发展情况。如果你是一名刚毕业的大学生,标准简历(也称为基于个人能力的简历)更为合适。对于成熟的求职者,基于技能的简历更合适,因为它能有效地描述个人经历。同时它也适用于那些寻找与自己所学专业和之前工作经历无关的工作的求职者。而英文简历更需要我们用心撰写。
英文简历基本要求
1. Select the best format.
1. 选择最佳格式
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.
多数简历是按照时间顺序写的,可是通常更好地做法是掌握好“技能描述”、“业绩”和“工作情况”之间的平衡。
2. Make certain your document is error free.
2. 确保简历文字准确无误
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.
因为人们熟悉自己的文字,所以“看到的”是自己所想的,而不是实际写在纸上的。不要自己来检查,不要靠拼写工具检查。请一位语法很强的朋友来检查你制作好的简历。
3. Find a balance between wordiness and lack of detail.
3. “简”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.
雇主们需要了解你的工作背景、经验,可并不需要了解一切。你在童子军做教练员就是无关的信息。要让简历内容和能帮你争取到面试机会。删掉无关的、对赢得面试不会有直接影响的信息。
4. Do not use personal pronouns.
4. 不要用人称代词
"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”,“我们的”不应该出现在简历中。简历都是以(隐藏的)第一人称来书写的。例如:描述上一份工作时,不要写成“我曾参与招聘、培训、管理经理助理及销售助手”,而是“招聘、培训、管理经理助手及销售助手”。简历上出现“片段句”完全可以,而且在实际中会更受青睐。
5. Use numerical symbols for numbers.
5. 以阿拉伯数字代替文字
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."
虽然上学时老师教我们“十”以下的数字都要大写,阿拉伯数字却可以吸引人们的目光、是更好的数字表示方法。不要写成“建设了一只包括八名顾问,充满活力的团队”,写成“建设了一只包括8名顾问,充满活力的团队”会更能获得优势。
6. Think "accomplishments" rather than "job duties.
6. "注重“业绩”而不是“职责”
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.
让你出众的`是什么?怎样才能把事情做地更好、更有效率,成本更小?你因为什么赢得过荣誉?这些是很重要的信息,会吸引目光,会让你的简历获得优先考虑。
7. Keep it positive.
7. 传递积极态度
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.
离职的原因和过去的挫折都不该出现在简历上。雇主们要找的是过去表现成功、能做出贡献的人。集中精力传递这些信息、回避任何转移注意力的信息。
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!
别忘了,有很多初试是通过电话来进行的,而不是当面。在电话来的时候要做好准备。还有,一定让自己拥有一份能让那个电话铃声响起的简历!
英文简历五大技巧
1.绝无拼写错误。现在文字处理软件都有拼写检查(SpellingCheck),您实在没有理由拼错,否则雇主会觉得您连最基本的东西都不去做。因此这是完全不能容许的错误。
2.小心相近字。这是拼写检查查不出的错误,要尤为小心。例如,有一位专业是经济学的同志,他本应写Major:Economics(专业:经济学),但却误写成了Mayor:Economy,摇身一变,成了主管经济的市长。
3.避免明显的语法错误。这并不是说一点儿语法错误都没有,因为英语毕竟不是母语,稍微有一点小错,别人也是能够谅解的。
4.请友人帮忙看一下。这是非常有效的一个方法,一是从拼写、语法、句式等方面来看,有无错误;二是从构思的角度上来看,有没有更合适、更恰当的表达。旁观者清,换一个角度,别人经常能提出一些特别好的建议来。
5.Objective写不写?有人写,有人不写。其实写和不写各有利弊。如果写上,当然显得目标明确,非这个行业、这个部门不可,但同时也就限制了您在别的行业发展的可能性。比如,毕业生在申请像“诚迅”一类的公司时明确写上了所选部门,那么万一这个部门没有录用您,而您又好像非这个部门不可,您就很可能失去了在“诚迅”其他部门工作的机会。但如果您什么都不写,雇主参照您的背景和一些测试的结果也许认为您更适合别的部门,这样您就可能获得新的机会。通常美式简历的规范写法都是不写Objective的。
