如何準(zhǔn)備英文簡歷
一份出色的Resume,是向外企求職的關(guān)鍵之一。不了解有關(guān)的常識和程式,不花費(fèi)相當(dāng)?shù)男乃紒碚故?,光有純正嫻熟的英文功底,并不能獲得單位的青睞。在一大堆錯(cuò)誤百出、英文表達(dá)能力低劣或平庸,毫無針對性和創(chuàng)造性的Resume中,你的那份若能讓人眼睛一亮,成功的機(jī)會必將大大增加,下面結(jié)合一個(gè)具體的例子給出說明和評述。
Balance Sheet基本方法
選擇要應(yīng)聘的工作后,必須看清招聘廣告上所列出的每項(xiàng)要求,再將自己的學(xué)歷、能力與興趣逐一與之比較,作一張balance sheet.
例如,一則關(guān)于marketing management trainee和job requirement是這樣寫的:
We are looking for a competent person to fill the captioned position:
-University graduate major in Marketing Management. Prepared to develop career in the commercial field
-Outgoing personality
-Able to communicate at different levels
-Good knowledge of PC operations
-Proficiency in written and spoken English/Mandarin
那么你相應(yīng)地考慮自己的qualification的選擇和表述,就可以這樣寫(與上列各項(xiàng)對應(yīng)):
-University graduate with major in Marketing
-Having actively participated in Business club's activities and learned accounting and management
-Good in communication with people and like a lot of out door activities, know how to tackle with people from all walks of life
-Skillful in operating Words, Excel, Lotus1-2-3, etc
-Fluent in English and Mandarin
這個(gè)方法的好處是可讓求職者清楚了解該職位是否適合自己,而本身資料又是否切合要求,而且,明白了各項(xiàng)要求后,就可依據(jù)每一點(diǎn)在履歷表上重點(diǎn)提出自己在該方面的強(qiáng)項(xiàng)。突出賣點(diǎn)(selling point),將之放在最吸引人的地方,使招聘者一眼可見,有利于present自己。
Work experience工作經(jīng)驗(yàn)的陳述
工作經(jīng)驗(yàn)是resume中令招聘者相當(dāng)感興趣的一項(xiàng)內(nèi)容,善加措詞是不可忽視的要務(wù)。
剛畢業(yè),何來工作經(jīng)驗(yàn)?其實(shí),讀書時(shí)的兼職、實(shí)習(xí)、實(shí)踐,以至所曾參加的一些課外活動-協(xié)助出版學(xué)??铩⑴e辦活動,展覽、宣傳……都可算是工作經(jīng)驗(yàn)、不過,表達(dá)起來要有針對性地展開,列出那些與所找工作有關(guān)的項(xiàng)目重點(diǎn)介紹,必要時(shí)更可使用summary的方式,以給招聘者深入的了解。
下面的寫法顯得相當(dāng)簡陋呆板:
1996/7-1996/8 General Clerk, IBM
1995/7-1995/8 Account clerks, Manley Toy Trading
1994/6-1994/8Salesgirl, Esprit.
倘能換一種表述如:
Three years of job experience in different positions have offered me opportunities to understand different job aspects.
-As a General Clerk (IBM),Accounts clerk (Manley Toy Trading), I have learned how to prepare purchasing orders,place orders, handle accounting matter, check voucher,…also (Salesgirl, Esprit) developing the technique of selling, serving and stocking.
就能更好地突出個(gè)人工作經(jīng)驗(yàn),吸引招聘者的注意力!
Job objective事業(yè)目標(biāo)
通常,一般求職者只會在履歷表開端簡單地寫上所應(yīng)征的職位-Position Applied: Management Trainee或I am applying for...其實(shí),若懂得利用這小小空間寫出自己的事業(yè)目標(biāo)(job objective),更能顯示出你對該工作的熱誠及憧憬,能令招聘者對你加倍留意。
比如這個(gè)不錯(cuò)的例子:
Job objective
To begin as a Marketing Management Trainee, with opportunity to advance to executive level and contribute to the development of firm.
其實(shí),這位外企人士所談的關(guān)于準(zhǔn)備英文簡歷的技巧,也完全可以應(yīng)用到中文簡歷上來。各位讀者可以嘗試一下。
