英文简历写作技巧

以下内容是根据在1999年5 月22日中智'99外企人才招聘会上的讲座整理而成。共分十个小节:1. 简历种类、2. 简历要领、3. 格式结构、4. 页眉部分(Heading)、5. 教育背景 (Education)、6. 个人资料(Personal),7. 工作经历 (Experience)、8. 学生简历、9. 特别注意、10. 纸与字体。一份高质量的英文简历,起码要花30多个小时,这当中包括3次以上的大改及多于10次的小改。 一、简历种类 1.中式

中式简历中,常包括政治面貌、性格及身高体重等。

如果中英文简历一起递交,建议中文不写政治面貌,因为如果去外企工作,背景中的政治色彩越少越好,起码没有必要让老外知道。

性格是一个主观的东西,有经验的招聘人员从来不相信任何人自己写的性格, 因为它不是一个硬性的东西,不象学历、技能。有些人如果认为公司要招聘一个比较活跃一点的,便会在简历中写性格开朗,有的是真相信自己性格开朗,有的是觉得写上开朗更好,其实没必要。 身高体重,向外资求职时,就不必写了,因为属于特别隐私性的内容,写了显得不了解国外文化。 2.港式

香港出版的简历书写技巧书籍中都要求写年龄、婚否,报纸的招聘广告中还要求求职者写上工资现状及预期工资,这些都属于隐私问题,美式简历则不要求提供这些信息。 3.英式

很接近港式,但个人资料没有港式说得那么多,篇幅长但不详细,我们这里不做过多评论。 4.美式

国际大公司中比较流行,一页纸,是我们重点参考的样式。美式简历书写格式也有十几种,有些书籍登载了上百种样本,但我们所介绍的式样是美国大公司中比较流行的,如华尔街的投资银行、国际咨询公司、工业公司、制造业公司、营销业公司等都采用这种式样;同时,我们也参考了三个名牌学校:哈佛商学院、沃顿商学院和哥伦比亚商学院的简历样本,式样大同小异,这里主要以哈佛商学院的为主。 二、简历要领

1.招聘人员怎样鉴别简历?

写得好,当然要保留,如果其背景又是公司急需的, 可能马上就要见求职者;写得不好的,就会丢掉,实际上,连看都不看。任何一个知名的大公司,每天都有成百上千人递简历,如果写得太差,根本就不值得保留。因为这些公司认为,一个人连自己的简历都写不好,将来进了公司,对外行文质量不够;对内说件事情也说不清楚,公司肯定不要这样的人。大家经常说大公司的人训练有素,实际上这也是其中一方面。即使不进大公司,简历写得不好,也会显得不懂基本格式,没有智慧。 2.YRIS。

Your resume is scanned, not read.(“YRIS”)。一方面简历要写得好,另一方面招聘人员看简历只是扫描式的,最初看也就是5秒钟左右,写得不好就扔了。这儿你就会问了:\写得好,短时间他看不出来怎么办?\不用担心,他们是可以看出来的,因为招聘人员每天干的就是这一行,如果您怀疑他看不出来,说明两点:第一,您对招聘人员的工作性质还不了解。假设您是司机,经常走北京那么多胡同,自然就记住了,而一般人就会觉得很难记。第二,说明您对行文格式、专业写作形象还不熟悉。我们见到,美国很多职位很高的大老板,在看他的下属写的东西时,一点点小错,哪怕换了一种字体,漏了一个逗号,多了一个空格,都能

1

及时指出来,说明他们的眼很尖,速度很快,您要是怀疑的话,说明您对这个领域还很不熟悉,那么您需要做的工作就很多了。即使您进了这种公司,也要在这方面下工夫,否则,很难成为他们当中合格的一员。另外,YRIS还说明写的内容千万不要多,而且要控制在一页内,因为没有人会认真看您的简历。关于这两点,我们在后面有时还会提到。 3.简历中的任何字句,都有可能成为面试中的话题。

一定要有把握的才写,没有把握的不要写,要实事求是,千万不要夸张。外资公司是最忌讳撒谎的,一旦让他觉得你在撒谎,你就丧失了进入这个公司的资格。比如说,你在简历中写了你会讲日语,小心碰上懂日文的人。凡是派到国外来的老外,有的人不一定会说中文,但会一两门外语的人大有人在,不定撞到什么人手上。 三、格式结构

包括页眉部分、教育背景、工作经历和个人资料四部分。

如果已经有全职工作了,一定把工作经历放在前面(即“页眉部分之后”);如果您目前还是在校学生,应该把教育背景放在前面。举个例子,一个美国商学院的毕业生,在一个很大的公司里工作了三年,不断得到提升,从未换过工作。由于新换了老板,他想换个工作,猎头让他把简历传过去,传过去后几天迟迟没有消息,他问为什么,猎头左找右找,终于在学生类的简历里找到了他的简历。原来,他用的是学生简历的格式,被当作了在校生。所以,作为在职人员,若把教育背景放在前面,人家会对你很不重视。 页眉部分 1.名字

有7种写法: 例: 1) Yang LI 2) YANG LI 3) Yang Li

4) Yang Li (李阳) 5) Li, Yang 6) Li Yang 7) LI Yang

我们认为都有可接受的理由,或适用的场合,比如说第四种-Yang Li (李阳),很方便招聘人员,尤其是人事部经理为中国人,声调弄错了或者名和姓搞不清楚,会很尴尬;但标准的、外资公司流行的、大家约定俗成的简历中的名字写法,则是第二种,YANG LI。 我们在审阅了大量中国人的简历之后,发现一个非常值得大家注意的地方,就是有人用粤语拼写自己的姓氏。比如,王写成Wong,李写成Lee。这里要告诉大家两点:一个是这只是香港人的拼法,并不是国际的拼法;第二是将来您办护照准备出国时,公安局是不会批准您用粤语拼音的。但是,我们也见到一些出过国的中国人,由于种种原因,他们的姓和汉语拼音并不一样,那是各有各的原因,我们的建议是不用汉语拼音以外的写法。

另外,也发现有一小部分人用外国人的姓,如Mary Smith,也是非常不可取的。因为如果你用外国人的姓,别人会认为你是外国人,或者你父亲是外国人,或者你嫁给了外国人。而名字用英文则是很常见的,也是很方便的,尤其是名字拼音的第一个字母是q、x或z,老外们很难发出正确的读音。有个叫韩强的先生,名片上印着John Han,这样,中外人士叫起来都很方便。

名和姓之间,如果有英文名,中文名可以加,也可以不加,或者用拼音的第一个字母简称。 如上例:John Q. Han。 双字名,也有四种写法 例: 1)Xiao-feng

2

2)Xiao-Feng 3)Xiaofeng 4)Xiao Feng

列出四种来,我们建议用第三种,Xiaofeng,最简单方便。大家一看就知是名而不是姓,要不然,大家有可能会误认为你是姓肖的。 2.地址

北京以后要写中国。很多人说:“谁不知道北京呀!”但一个完整的地址、全球畅通的通信地址应该是加国名的,但不必用PRC等,因为用China简单清楚。邮编的标准写法是放在省市名与国名之间,起码放在China之前,因为是中国境内的邮编。 3.电话

写法很有讲究,中国人名片中的电话经常写得不清楚、不专业,有几点提醒大家注意。 1) 前面一定加地区号,如(86-10)。因为您是在向外国公司求职,您的简历很可能被传真到伦敦、纽约,大家不知道您的地区号,也没有时间去查,如果另一位求职者的电话有地区号,招聘者很可能先和这个人沟通。另外,国外很流行“user friendly”,即想尽办法给对方创造便利,尤其是在找工作时,更要加深这一意识。用中国人的思维逻辑来解释,\是你求他,而不是他求你\。.

2) 8个号码之间加一个“-”,如6505-2266。这样,认读拨打起来比较容易,否则,第一次打可能会看错位。

3) 区号后的括号和号码间加空格,如 (86-10) 6505-2266。这是英文写作的规定格式,很多人忽略了,甚至不知道。 4) 写手机或者向别人通报手机时,也有一定的规范,要用“4-3-4原则”,如“1380-135-1234”。也有人6个5个的念,会造成两个结果:一是字数越多越不容易记全,甚至出错,降低效率,有的人还念得特快;二是有人总结说,这是台湾人的念法,带有很浓的地方色彩。我们追求的是国际规范。 .

5) 传真号千万不要留办公室的,免得办公室的同事都知道你想跳槽。如果家里有传真号,最好告诉对方,万一他找不到你,可以发几个字,比较快;将来对方发聘书或材料时,比较方便。不要等到将来再给,我们应该从现在起就培养“user friendly”的意识,处处方便对方。 6) 国外很流行留言电话,有人为找工作,专门去买留言电话。这里顺带讲一下留言文化,中国人甚至包括很多亚洲人,都不习惯使用留言电话,但随着国际间商业文化交往的增多,愿意在电话中留言的人越来越多了,留言技巧也越来越高了。

7) 家中老人试写留言条。经常会出现这么一种情况:您出门了,朋友打来电话,回来时,妈妈告诉你:“今天有人来电话找你。”你会问:“谁来的?”一般她只会告诉你:“是个男的”或“是个女的”,当你问到:“您怎么不问一问他的电话呀?”,妈妈往往会回答:“我还没问呢,他就挂了。”这里我们要说两点:一是要跟家长交流一下写留言条的方式,就是怎么接听电话及写留言条;第二,这里有一个中国的传统观念。以前,只有办公室才有电话,打电话来的人一般都是找你办事的,接听电话的人总觉得高高在上,并且形成了习惯。这种习惯带到家里,甚至在年轻一代中也很流行。很多人接听电话时,若没能及时识别出对方身份,起初语气往往非常冷漠。在这里,我们向全社会建议:任何给您打电话的人,都有可能是您的朋友、同事或者合作伙伴,即便目前不是,将来大部分都有可能成为他们中的一员,所以,务必热情对待每一个电话。另外,换个角度想:如果您打电话给别人,别人是这样的态度,您又会作何感想呢?我们要在全社会提倡一种礼貌热情的电话语言,这在我们以后的专题讲座中会提到。 五、教育背景 1.时间要倒序

3

最近的学历要放在最前面。 2.学校名要大写并加粗

这样便于招聘者迅速识别您的学历,这里又用到了\原则。 3.地名 右对齐,全部大写并加粗

地名后一定写中国。例如,海口(Haikou)的拼写与日本北海道(Hokaido)的拼写很相近。读简历的有可能是外国人,不知道的会搞不清楚是哪个国家。可能你出过国,这是件好事,但如果去的地方并不太出名,没加国名,大家也意识不到。白出了。总之是造成了一些不方便,效率不高。我们应该一切从最周全,最完善的角度出发。但有一点要指出的是,哈佛商学院的简历中,美国的州名后就没写国名,这是因为美国州名已在全世界广泛流传,为人们所共识了。 4.学历

如果正在学习,用Candidate for开头比较严谨;如果已经毕业,可以把学历名称放在最前,具体见样本。 5.社会工作

担任班干部,只写职务就可以了;参加过社团协会,写明职务和社团名,如果什么职务都没有,写“member of club(s)”。社团协会,国外一般都用club。不必写年月和工作详情,有些可留待工作经历中写。

顺便讲一下几个职称的译法:

1) 班长。国内很流行用Monitor,但国外常见的是Class President,这样显得更国际化;另外,用YRIS原理,显得官更大一点儿。

2) 团支部书记。用Secretary也可以,但在与外国人打交道时,如果参加的是纯商业机构,背景中政治色彩越少越好。经常一个班就是一个支部,我们可以用class表示支部,那么class用Secretary不合适,不妨用President。在某种意义上,班长和团支部书记二者的角色是相同的。但如果二者是并驾齐驱的,不妨用Co-president。再有,如果你写了President,当有人问班长时,他可能会不高兴,为处理好关系,你不妨谦虚一下,用Vice President。这样,发生副作用的可能性就会很小。

3) 副会长。用Vice President是最合适的,在国外也很常见。 6.奖学金

一般用一句话概括。如果有多个,也争取用一句话概括。但如果是学生简历,则有其它的处理方式,我们会在“学生简历”一节讲解。 7.成绩

如果不是前五名,建议不写。因为如果排在五名之外,感觉您不是一个最优秀的学生。一旦写上,有些人会穷追不舍地发问,让你尴尬。 六、个人资料 1.名称 有四种写法:Personal, Personal Information, Other Information, Additional Information。无论是教育背景、工作经历,还是个人资料,既可以首字母大写,也可以全部字母大写,还可以全部字母小写。哈佛商学院的标准格式是全部字母小写,这在主流商业社会中已沿用多年。另外,名称可以写在最左侧,也可居中。 2.语言

有几个层次。Native speaker of指母语;从严谨的角度讲,Fluent in显得更流利;English as working language显得不非常流利,但可信度更高; Some knowledge of 会一些,没有把握的千万别写。在面试中,语言是最轻松的、最容易被测试的,一旦被考倒,他会认为你在撒谎,甚至认为通篇都有很多撒谎的地方。 外企公司不会雇用撒谎或有撒谎嫌疑的人。 3.电脑

4

中国人最爱用“熟悉”(familiar)。无论中文还是英文简历,“熟悉”是一个很弱的字眼,说明你不熟练,不常用。如果几个软件,有的熟练,有的熟悉,建议只写软件名。完全没把握的,一点儿不熟悉的,千万不要写。不要以为没有电脑,就不会考你,他也会考你一两个关键用法。如果真的用的很多,不妨用“Frequent user of”。 4.资格证书

最需要注意的是,有些人将注册会计师笼统地翻译成CPA,但全世界各国都有自己的CPA,有些是互不承认的,所以一定要写上国别,写明考取年份。

有一些业余爱好,能显示出一定素养的内容,也可以写上,如钢琴考级。

TOEFL、GRE和GMAT,应不应该写?应该写哪一个?我们建议都不写。因为一般外企公司不愿意雇用很快就要出国的人。 5.爱好与特长

1) 写强项。弱的一定不要写,面试人员不定对哪个项目感兴趣,有时会跟你聊两句,尤其是接连几个、十几个面试之后,有些招聘人员爱聊一些轻松的话题,一旦是你的弱项,绝大部分人会很尴尬的,显出窘态,丧失自信,这对你是很不利的。更重要的是,他会觉得你在撒谎。

2) 要写也只写两到三项。因为极少有人在很多方面都很强。如果您觉得自己玩得都可以的话,您的标准可能稍低了点儿。当然,确实有的人七八样都玩得挺好的,但一般人不相信个人的强项有特别多,所以您也没必要写那么多,以免给人轻浮的感觉。

3) 不具体的爱好不写,如sports、music、reading。大家不知道你喜好什么,或者让大家觉得你根本就没有真正的爱好,更糟糕的是,人们会认为你的写作水平很差。

4) 举几个用词。如travel,如果你喜欢旅行,而有些工作需要经常出差,那么你写上travel是非常有利的;有些女性写上cooking,是很实事求是的,也给人以踏实的感觉,对于象秘书这样的职位,总是有好处的。 七. 工作经历

首先要再次强调一下,对于正在工作的人,Experience应写在Education的前面,而对于在校生Education则应放在Experience之前。 1. 时间

1) 目前的工作要最先写, 左侧写时间,如写成1997-present。详细写法请点击哈佛商学院简历样本。此外更要注意拼写,不要把present写成president,否则您现在就成了总裁,老板怎么还敢雇佣您呢?这种往往是拼写检查无法查出的\漏网之鱼\,所以要特别小心。这个问题我们在后面还会谈到。 2) 以前的工作,只写年份,如1993-1995。这样的写法主要适于以下三种情况:一是工作时间较早;二是工作时间在两年以上;三是旨在巧妙地拉长工作时间。例如,如果您曾于1997年12月到1998年1月就职于某家公司,虽然只有短短两个月,但写成1997-1998就显得工作时间较长,同时也没撒谎。

3) 以前的工作,加上月份,如May, 1998或May 1998。这样的写法自然会显得精确一些,也投合银行业雇主的口味。有的中国人则喜欢用5, 1998或1998,5。前一种写法很少见,只有在实在写不下的情况下才使用。1998,5则是纯粹的Chinglish(洋泾帮英语),是完全不能接受的。 4) Summer Intern(夏期工作)的几种写法。

Summer Intern Summer Analyst Summer Assistant Summer Associate

一是直接写Summer Intern,不管职务职称;二是写成Summer Analyst,这种写法比较适合

5

2)喝水最忌讳的有两点:一是喝水出声。吃喝东西出声都是极失礼的举动,以后我们在西餐礼仪中还会讲到这点。因此不妨从现在起就练习“默默无闻”的吃饭、喝水。二是若水放的位置不好,很容易洒。一般面试时,别人会给您塑料杯或纸杯,这些杯子比较轻,而且给您倒的水也不太多,这样就更容易洒。一旦洒了水,您就难免紧张,虽然对方会很大度,但也会留下您紧张的印象。所以要小心,一定要放得远一点,喝不喝都没有关系。有些中国人临走了,怕不好意思,就咕咚咕咚喝上几大口,其实没有这个必要。 3) 打喷嚏。打喷嚏之前或之后一定要说Excuse me。国外流行打喷嚏五部曲:啊T……Excuse me. Bless you. Thank you. Welcome。 八.面试交谈 1.自然诚实

Be yourself (忠实自己). Tell the truth (说实话). Never lie (绝不要撒谎). 说话要自然。好比照相,该是什么样就是什么样。我们在讲简历的时候也强调过,千万不要撒谎。外国公司绝不会雇用一个不诚实的人。中国公司往往对谎言的包容性比外国公司大得多。 故事:我们公司有一次招人,几乎已决定录用他了,最后只需要再与一个高级经理见一下就可以了。但后来发现他在撒谎,以后的结果就可想而知了。 偶尔不明白的,要在适当的时候发问。当然并不强求听懂对方英文的逐字逐句,懂大概的意思即可。如不是关键字句,也就不必老问。如果英文实在是听不懂,您也不必为此太在意。您越是自然、坦然,您就越有可能在面试中多拿几分。而且也可能因为放松的缘故,基本上都能听懂,会话也能多沟通几句,没准儿也就成了。 2.简单而精确。

Concise & Precise 既不要太罗嗦,也不要过于简单。中国人在谈话时往往有两大问题。一是说话太罗嗦,一个事要摊开几个支叉,各个支叉下又有几个小支叉,反反复复三四个层次,最后自己都不知道在讲什么了。可谓“张口千言,离题万里。”二是太简单,太含糊,不符合precise的要求。比如,别人问您最近在忙些什么,如果您说成“最近瞎忙,什么都干。”就不如说成“我最近出差比较多或是我最近整理文件、写东西比较多。”来得明确易懂。还有当别人想了解您们公司都从事什么业务时,很多中国人的习惯回答是:“我们什么都做。” 不如具体说我们公司生产哪些产品。 Be Specific 说东西一定要具体。比如说,别人问您在做几个项目。按中国人的回答习惯,通常都是说四五个项目。但用英文说,four or five deals,会显得很不确切,不如说four deals 好,或者说出具体哪四个。 3.要有重点 要有Selling Point。说话要有点有面,不妨平常就做些练习。而且通篇一定要有几个有重量级的卖点,而不是随随便便的几个点。

Prioritize your points要先捡重要的说。因为您的谈话随时可能被人打断,一旦打断,重要的东西也许就没机会说了。 4.镇定回答提问 如果对提问不是特确定,您不妨重复一下,或用自己的话复述一下,这样既可搞清问题,也可争取到思考的时间。 很多难题是没有标准答案的,主要是考查大家的逻辑分析能力。您只要有充分的自信,就能自圆其说。在这里不怯场是很重要的。 诚实+坦率+智慧=好印象 九.九个不要:

1. 不谈政治。即使谈到也要注意主观感情色彩不要太浓,言语也不宜太激烈。 2.不谈工资。很多人在招聘会上就问工资,一般说来外企公司是不会在招聘会上就说

16

出具体工资数字的。因为在这一面试阶段还没到要谈工资细节的时候,问这种敏感问题是不恰当的。而且外企也不喜欢完全冲着工资来的人。所以上来就问工资无论从哪方面来说都是不妥的。个别外企公司主动说出详细数目,那是他们的选择。咱们不要主动问。不同行业的工资水平应由毕分办的老师分类归纳总结,向同学们通报。也可以通过已毕业的师兄师姐了解他们所在行业的大致工资幅度。 招聘会:有人参加招聘会,简历是包装得很好了,也附了很多相关材料,但自己却没有包装好,穿得很休闲。想一想为什么公司要用招聘会的方式而不用登广告的形式来进行招聘呢,就是因为在招聘会上可以对应聘者有一个初步的筛选,不一定是很正式的谈话,也许轻松的几句寒暄,您就稳稳地赢得了参加面试的资格,等于是第一轮的初选,所以着装也很重要。作为招聘人员,我在招聘会上的习惯是,“盯”上谁,就在谁的简历右上角折个印。 3.不要冷场。有时面试人员就是故意在考您的应变能力,尤其是在招推销员的时候。如果您连冷场都处理不好,那别人也不会相信您是个优秀的推销员了。 4.不要支配招聘人员及话题。有时招聘人员显得年纪比您轻,资历比您浅,或显得比较谦逊,您就有可能在潜意识里想支配他。但如果您一旦真的支配了他,他就会觉得不舒服了,自然您也就没什么好下场了。 5.不要过多解释或道歉。比如迟到了,您说一句抱歉就行了,或者加上真实的原因。不要罗列太多原因。因为大家都知道迟到是很难免的事情,有各种理由,很诚恳地表示抱歉就行了。不要编故事,往往是越抹越黑。有时两个原因在逻辑上是相互矛盾的。 6.如果明确被告之因为某种原因不能被录用,不要死磨硬缠,因为外资公司的决定通常不是某一招聘者的个人决定。但如果有很充分的理由,您也可据理力争,但一定要很有礼貌。反正也是一个“死”,不如争一线希望,“死”个明白。 7.不要当面询问面试结果,完毕后,说声谢谢就行了。 8.不要请求招聘人员帮忙。有的人知道招聘人员是自己的校友、老乡或者朋友,就说“多谢您帮忙了”,这是很不professional的做法。这种习惯也有人带到美国去。他们见到中国人做人事经理的,就说请给咱帮帮忙,想套近乎。您应做的努力就是要认真准备,如果自己实力不行,也就没什么机会了。说这句话倒是越帮越忙。 9.不要问招聘人员的学历,尤其对于那些毕业于名校的学生更应避而不问。招聘人员不定有个什么学历,除非他自己愿意说,或自己暗示出来,或递话让您去问,否则最保险的做法是免提。 以上经验仅供参考。有志者,事竟成。相信你们中的很多人都会找到理想的工作。谢谢朋友们访问我们的网页。再见!

履历表(Resume?或称Curriculum Vitae)是你的求职信中必须附加的部分,对方往往会先审阅各来信中的履历表,因为它是以列表形式出现,如果对方一收信就是数十或数百份,较为省力的初步挑选就是先读应征者寄来的履历表,所以履历表很重要。 在履历表中须包括:1.个人资料;2.教育背景;3.工作经验;4.担保人。

在履历表中不须有完整句子,但必须将有关资料以整齐、有系统的方法表达出来。求职信本身,履历表须打字,除非对方特别要求书写。 此外必须在履历表上贴上一张照片。

到外企应聘如何准备英文RESUME

一份出色的Resume,是向外企求职的关键之一。不了解有关的常识和程式,不花费相当的心思来展示,以有纯正娴熟的英文功底,决不能获得单位的青睐。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Resume中,你的那份若能让人眼睛一亮,成功的机会必将大大增加,以下试着结合一个具体的例子给出说明和评述。 Balance Sheet:

基本方法选取适当的工作后,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balance sheet.

例如,一则关于marketing management trainee和job requirement是这样写的: We are looking for a competent person to fill the captioned position:

31

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 则你相应地考虑自己的qualification的选择和表述,如你可写(与上列各项对应): -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求职者清楚了解该职位是否适合自己,而本身资料又是否切合要求,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(selling point),将之放在最吸引别人的地方,使招聘者一眼可见,有利于present自己。

工作经验的陈述

工作经验是一份resume中令招聘者相当感兴趣的一项内容,善加措词是必不可忽视的要务。

刚毕业,何来工作经验?其实,客下读书时的兼职、实习、实践,以至所曾参加的一些课外活动-协助助出版学校刊物、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连的项目重点介绍,必要时更可使用summary的方式,给招聘者深入的了解。

下面这份材料的相关表这实在简陋呆板: 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 mattery, check voucher,……also(Salesgirl, Esprin)developing the technique of sellina, serving and stocking. 岂非能更好地突出个人工作经验,吸引招聘者的注意力!

Job Objective通常,一般求者只会在履历表开端简单地写上所应征的职位-\Applied: Management Trainee\或\其实,若懂得利用这小小空间写出自己的事业目标(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. 其实,这位外企人士所谈的关于准备RESUME的技巧,完全可以应用到中文简历上来。各位读者可以尝试一下。

Tricks in Job Hunting Interview

Here are good answers to some of the tougher questions asked in job interviews. If you can smoothly supply answers like these during the interview, you are bound to make a good impression.

1. What is important to you in a job?

Mention specific rewards other than a paycheck for example, challenge, the feeling of accomplishment, and knowing that you have made a contribution. 2. Why do you want to work for this organization?

Cite its reputation, the opportunities it offers, and the working conditions. Stress that you want to work for this organization, not just any organization. 3. Why should we employ you?

Point to your academic preparation, job skills, and enthusiasm about working for the firm.

Mention your performance in school or previous employment as evidence of your ability to learn and to become productive quickly. If the job involves management responsibilities, refer to past activities as proof of your ability to get along with others and to work as part of a team. 4. If we hire you, how long will you stay with us?

Answer by saying along these lines: \advance at a pace with my abilities.\5. Can we offer you a career path?

Reply: \tell me about it?\6. What are your greatest strengths?

Give a response like one of the following: \to make decisions\7. What are you greatest weakness?

Identify one or two, such as the following:\perform beyond their capacities\these weaknesses could also be regarded as desirable qualities. The trick with this question is to describe a weakness so that it could also be considered a virtue. 8. What didn't you like about previous jobs you've held?

Discuss the things you didn't like, but avoid making slighting reference to any of your former employers.

9. How do you spend your leisure time?

Mention a cross section of interests-active and quiet, social and solitary -- rather just one. 10. Are there any weaknesses in your education or experience?

Take stock of your weaknesses before the interview. Practice discussing them in a positive light. You'll find that they are minor when discussed along with all the positive things you have to offer. 11. Where do you want to be five years from now?

Saying that you'd like to be president is unrealistic, yet few employers want people who are content to sit still. You might say, \qualify for your boss's job by then, you may not be the fright candidate. 12. What are your salary expectations?

33

If you are asked this at the outset, it's best to say, \whether I'm right for the job? \speak up. She or he will probably try to meet your price. If you need a clue about what to ask for, say, \13. What would you do if....?

This question is designed to test your reposes. For example: \broke down during an audit?\problem. And a calm approach is best. Start by saying, \several alternative choices.

14. What type of position are you interested in?

Job titles and responsibilities vary from firm to firm . So state your skills instead, such as \good at figure work,\15. Tell me something about yourself.

Say you'll be happy to talk about yourself, and ask what the interviewer wants to know. If this point is clarified, respond. If not, tell why you feel your skills will contribute to the job and the organization. This question gives you a great opportunity to sell yourself. 16. Do you have any questions about the organization or the job?

Employers like a candidate who is interested in the organization. so this is a perfect time to convey your interest and enthusiasm.

求职信的内容和格式

写求职信的目的是争取面试机会,换句话说,也就是要使对方相信你是一个值得考虑的人选。最有效的方法莫如强调你为何可于将来成为他可用之材。以下建议供你参考:

(Your telephone number) (Your address) The Advertiser (His Address) (Date) Dear Sir, Re: APPLICATION FOR (THE POST) ------------------------------------------- ...................................................................................................................................... .....................................................( Beginning of the letter) ...................................................................................................................................... ...................................................................................................................................... 34

...................................................................................................................................... ......................................................(Introducing yourself) ...................................................................................................................................... ...................................................................................................................................... ...................................................................................................................................... ...................................................................................................................................... ...................................................................................................................................... .......................................................(About your personal ability) ...................................................................................................................................... ...................................................................................................................................... ...................................................................................................................................... ........................................................(About the enclosure and other) ...................................................................................................................................... .........................................................(Ending) Yours faithfully, _______________ Wang Dazhong

1.在信中你必须要以一两句话来表达你为何会对你所应征的工作感兴趣。

2.告诉收信人你是从何处获悉对方有职位空缺,这实际上是协助对方从事他的招聘统计工作,例如是报纸广告,或电台、政府劳工处等等。

3.告诉对方与你有关的教育、工作经验,甚至是与此有关的个人兴趣、嗜好等。如果你只是刚离校门,也不妨告诉对方你曾做过何种暑期工作,虽然并不一定有关连,但起码向对方表示你具有工作意愿。

4.提供你的若干个人资料,例如年龄、婚姻情况、兴趣、种族、你所参与的团体活动等。 5.提供两三个担保人的姓名及其电话号码。他们能够对你的为人及工作知识有所了解,他们最好是你的前房主或以前的老师。

6.表示你很想获得面试机会,而事实上这也是你写这封来职信的目的,何不言明,争取获得这个机会。如果你前赴面试的时间有所限制,也须于信中说明,但不要把时间限制得太紧。 7.措词项直接,不要转弯抹角。要给对方一个印象你所感兴趣的是他的公司和他所提供的工作性质,而非你自己的个人兴趣。你也须表示礼貌,但不要太过份,更不要表示谦卑。 8.不要为你的技能、经验过份夸张而使人产生自吹自擂的感觉,也不要过份谦躬、必须有碗讲碗、有碟讲碟。也不要自称品学兼优、勤奋好学、工作态度认真等等,这些应该是担保人说的话,不是你自己说的话。

9. 到最后检查你的求职信,反复阅读,看清楚没有问题才寄出你这封信。
