如何才能讓你的簡歷被谷歌相中(2)
編寫一份出色的簡歷
One page only. When you go onto two pages, you add weaker content to your resume, by definition. And when your resume is only read for about 15 seconds, it’s the average content that matters, not the “total amount of content.
只需要一頁即可。如果你的簡歷達到兩頁,很顯然,你只是在其中添加了一些無關(guān)緊要的內(nèi)容。當面試官只花15秒瀏覽你的簡歷時,“總體內(nèi)容”并不重要,重要的是平均內(nèi)容。
Use a real resume format. Don’t create your own – it tends to waste space and look sloppy.
使用正規(guī)的簡歷格式。不要自我創(chuàng)造——這會浪費空間,而且看起來非常草率。
List your projects, hackathons, etc. Don’t worry about whether or not something is ‘resume appropriate.’ Does it make you look more impressive? Then include it.
列舉你的項目、編程馬拉松等。別擔心有些內(nèi)容是否“適合出現(xiàn)在簡歷上”。如果這樣的內(nèi)容能給人留下更深刻的印象,那就寫上吧。
Keep your bullets short — 1 to 2 lines each. Bullets that are 3 or more lines look like paragraphs and won’t be read.
盡量陳述項目的文字——每一項1至2行即可。3行或3行以上的文字陳述,看起來像段落,不會有人愿意讀。
Focus on accomplishments, not responsibilities. The first line of each bullet should be a word like built, created, implemented, designed, architected, optimized, etc.
重點是成績,而不是責任。每一項的第一行應該是一個詞,例如建立、創(chuàng)建、執(zhí)行、設(shè)計、構(gòu)建、優(yōu)化等。
Quantify your accomplishments. Did you optimize something? Okay, then tell me by how much.
量化你的成績。你進行過某個項目的優(yōu)化?好,那請告訴我你優(yōu)化了多少。
No summaries. They don’t tell me anything other than what position you’re applying for and I already know that.
不要總結(jié)。總結(jié)只能告訴我你想申請什么職位,但這一點我早已知曉,除此之外,它毫無用處。
Submitting Your Resume
提交你的簡歷
Too many people stop with just one avenue. They apply once, and then figure that’s enough. Try all available avenues.
太多人只會使用一種途徑。他們只申請一次,然后認為這就足夠了。你應該嘗試所有可以使用的途徑。
If you’re active on Github, Stack Overflow, etc, there’s a chance a recruiter will come to you. But there’s no reason to wait for that.
如果你是代碼托管網(wǎng)站Github或開發(fā)人員問答網(wǎng)站Stack Overflow的活躍用戶,招聘人員很有可能會主動找到你。但求職者沒有理由等著雇主找上門。
Apply online. It’s tough, but people do get their resumes selected that way.
在線申請。雖然不容易,但確實有人通過在線申請被雇主選中。
Ask your friends. Do any work at Google? Or know someone who does? It’s a huge help if someone will refer you.
詢問你的朋友。有人在谷歌(Google)工作嗎?或者認識某位在谷歌工作的朋友嗎?如果有人推薦,對你的求職會有很大幫助。
Try reaching out to Google engineers on Twitter, Quora, or other social media. Remember that your first contact with them is, effectively, a cover letter. Don’t just say “Hi, I’m interested in Google, will you refer me?” Reach out to them and tell them about some of the things you’ve done, and then link them to your resume.
嘗試在Twitter、Quora或其他社交媒體上聯(lián)系谷歌的工程師。記住,與他們的第一次聯(lián)系就是你的求職信。不要簡單地說“你好,我對谷歌很感興趣,能向公司推薦我嗎?”聯(lián)系他們,告訴他們你做過的事情,然后將簡歷的鏈接發(fā)送給他們。
Again, this advice applies to all companies, and much of it to many positions as well.
再說一遍,這些建議適用于所用公司,其中大部分也適用于多個崗位。
