简历是求职的“敲门砖”。无论什么语言,好的简历都能够大大增加成功的几率,但英文简历与中文简历的写法却也有很多地方大不同。怎样让自己的英文简历使人眼前一亮?总结了3种强而有力的简历撰写方法。
最好的办法是展示,而不是告知。仅用形容词堆砌来描述自己如何优秀并不能使人信服,用例子和实际的过往经验才能让HR切实看到你的能力。
范例:Jim的个人简历并不是简单地表达:"I am a hardworking person and good at working as part of a team." 而是用具体的例子使人信服:"I undertake additional work when my team requires. As a person who likes to communicate with others, I arranged the company's team building events."
用数据说话,数据是真实而且最简单直接的,它能明白地向HR展示出你的成就。
范例:为了展现他的销售能力,Simon用数据来说明:"Iam results-oriented. As the top sales in the company last year, I achieved 120% of my sales target each month."
学会运用S.T.A.R.法则来展现你的优势。S.T.A.R.法则能够用来印证你的能力所胜任的职位。
范例:Helen在自己的完美简历中用S.T.A.R.法则以讲故事的方式一目了然地展示出她的主要成就:"I had to develop some activities for a teambuilding event for my company, which 100 managers were due to attend. I surveyed participants to find out their interests and researched some popular games and challenges. In the end the event was a great success and I received praise from the managers who said they had a great time.”
初此之外,在英文简历中还应该注意以下事项:
不要放入照片。
不要涉及个人信息,如性别、婚姻状况、种族、信仰、保险等。
不要谈到你真正的个人兴趣,信息与所应聘职位相关即可。
