教你如何写漂亮的英文简历
招聘会开始了,很多人都加入寻找工作的大军中,开始奔波在各种大型的招聘会上,这个时候,对外企感兴趣的人来说,一份漂亮的英文简历真是非常必要的。
知名国际企业录用人 才的程序严格,大多数人都是以一份中英文简历开始塑造他在公司的形象。而对于大型跨国企业,英文简历 (resume) 的制作尤为重要,它可能决定求职者能否进入面试,能否有真正展露自己才华的机会。不了解有关的常识和程式,不花费相当的心思来展示,单凭纯正娴熟的英文功底,不容易获得单位的青睐。在一大堆错误百出、英文表达能力低劣或平庸,毫无针对性和创造性的简历中,你的那份若能让人眼睛一亮,成功的机会必将大大增加。
选取适当的工作后,必须看清招聘广告上所列出的每项要求,再将自己的学历、能力与兴趣逐一与之比较,作一张权重表 (balance sheet) 。
例如,一则关于销售管理培训生 (marketing management trainee) 的职位要求 (job requirement) 是这样写的:
We are looking for a competent person to fill the captioned position:
University graduate majors in Marketing Management. Prepared to develop career in the commercial field
-outgoing personality
-Able to communicate with different levels
-Good knowledge in PC operations
-Proficiency in written and spoken English/Mandarin
则应相应地考虑自己的条件 (qualification) 的选择和表述,例如可以与上述各项对应写:
-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 studied advanced level of Mandarin
这个方法的好处是可让你清楚了解该职位是否适合自己,而且,明白了各项要求后,就可依据每一点在履历表上重点提出自己在该方面的强项。突出卖点,将之放在最吸引别人的地方,使招聘者一眼明了,有利于表现自己。
工作经验是一份简历中令招聘者相当感兴趣的内容,善加措词是不可忽视的要务。
刚毕业,何来工作经验?其实,课下读书时的兼职、实习、实践,以至曾参加的一些课外活动如协助出版学校刊物、举办活动,展览、宣传……都可算是工作经验。不过,表达起来要有针对性地展开,列出那些与所找工作有关联的项目重点介绍,必要时更可使用概述的方式,给招聘者深入的了解。 下面这份材料的经历陈述稍显僵硬:
1996/7-1996/8 General Clerk IBM
1995/7-1995/8 Account clerks Manley Toy Trading
1994/6-1994/8 Salesgirl Esprit.
倘能换一种表述如:
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 mastery check voucher ?…… also Salesgirl Esprit developing the technique of selling serving and stocking.
能更好地突出个人工作经验,吸引招聘者的注意力。
一般求职者只会在履历表开端简单地写上所应征的职位如"
osition Applied Management Trainee"或"I am applying for……"其实,若懂得利用这小小空间写出自己的职业目标 job objective,能显示出你对该工作的热诚及憧憬,能令招聘者对你加倍留意。
比如这个不错的例子:
Job objective To begin as a Marketing Management Trainee with opportunity to advance to executive level and contribute to the development of firm.
