簡曆網在線編者按:英文簡曆寫好對很多求職者來說是一個難題。寫得不犯語法錯誤已經可以算是一份好的簡曆,但如果想獲得更好的機會,簡曆不能顯得太呆板,需要適當的潤潤色。
下麵的寫法顯得相當簡陋呆板:
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.
就能更好地突出個人工作經驗,吸引招聘者的注意力!
Job objective 事業目標
通常,一般求職者隻會在履曆表開端簡單地寫上所應征的職位-Position Applied: Management Trainee或I am applying for... 其實,若懂得利用這小小空間寫出自己的事業目標(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。
比如這個不錯的例子:
Job objective
To begin as a Marketing Management Trainee, with opportunity to advance to executive level and contribute to the development of firm.
Balance Sheet基本方法
選擇要應聘的工作後,必須看清招聘廣告上所列出的每項要求,再將自己的學曆、能力與興趣逐一與之比較,作一張balance sheet.
例如,一則關於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
那麽你相應地考慮自己的qualification的選擇和表述,就可以這樣寫(與上列各項對應):
-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,明白了各項要求後,就可依據每一點在履曆表上重點提出自己在該方麵的強項。突出賣點(selling point),將之放在最吸引人的地方,使招聘者一眼可見,有利於present自己。
Work experience工作經驗的陳述
工作經驗是resume中令招聘者相當感興趣的一項內容,善加措詞是不可忽視的要務。
剛畢業,何來工作經驗?其實,讀書時的兼職、實習、實踐,以至所曾參加的一些課外活動-協助出版學校刊物、舉辦活動,展覽、宣傳……都可算是工作經驗、不過,表達起來要有針對性地展開,列出那些與所找工作有關的項目重點介紹,必要時更可使用summary的方式,以給招聘者深入的了解。
其實,這位外企人士所談的關於準備英文簡曆的技巧,也完全可以應用到中文簡曆上來。各位讀者可以嚐試一下
