简历
写简历
A resume is an essential part of any job application. It is your one-page advertisement, summarizing your potential to an employer. 要想有效，你的简历需要:
简洁的
A resume is not a listing of everything you have done in college, but rather a summary of your experiences that relate to a particular job or career field. 标准的简历是一页纸. 一份两页的简历, all the information included should be relevant and both pages must be full. 还记得, most employers review a resume for approximately 20 seconds, and will only read a second page if the relevance is obvious. (This rule, however, does not apply to CVs or resumes for graduate school.)
有针对性的
Your resume should highlight your skills and accomplishments most relevant to that job. If you are applying to jobs in more than one career field/industry, 你应该准备不止一份简历.
易于阅读和遵循
Your resume should be organized so that an employer can quickly find your most relevant experiences. Your resume also needs to be free of grammatical or spelling errors.
简历和. CVs
While a resume is typically what is used by current students or recent graduates when applying to jobs, sometimes a CV (curriculum vitae) is required instead. A resume is a concise one-page summary of your skills, experience, and education. 一份简历, 另一方面, is usually longer and focuses not just on education and experience, 但是在研究上, 教学, 出版物, 演讲, 奖, 以及专业关系. Some European and other foreign countries will require CVs of all applicants. 在美国, CVs are traditionally used only when applying for scientific, 研究, 或者学术职位, 包括奖学金. 如果您不确定使用哪个, check with your career counselor or someone in the career field to which you are applying.
简历的几个部分
名字
Your name should go at the top of the resume and be highlighted in some way (bolded or in a larger font). 它通常居中. If you should happen to have a two-page resume, make sure your name is on both pages.
联系信息
以你的名义, list your mailing address (both home and school or just the address where you will be living after graduation), 你的电子邮件, 还有你的电话号码. This can also be a good place to include the URL for your LinkedIn profile or online portfolio.
客观的
虽然不是必须的, an objective statement can highlight both your career goals and your skills. 如果你选择包含一个, be sure that it is succinct and directly relevant to each job to which you apply.
教育
The education section is usually the first main section of the resume. Start by listing Centre College, Danville, Kentucky. 然后列出你获得的学位. Spell out Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science, as it looks more professional to avoid abbreviations, and which major(s) and minor(s) you are receiving. (Note that two majors does not mean two degrees; rather, just one degree in two majors.还要列出毕业的月份和年份. 如果你的平均成绩是3分，那就写上.0或以上. 如果你选择列出你的专业GPA, 一定要包括你的总GPA, 即使小于3.0. Other information may also be included in the 教育 section, including:
•相关课程
•出国留学
• Honors (scholarships, academic 奖, athletic 奖)
经验
The experience category is the main section in which you highlight your accomplishments. This section can include all of your experiences or can be subdivided into categories such as Relevant 经验, 领导经验, 志愿者的经历, 等. It is important to categorize your resume so that the most relevant and important experiences are near the top. Each entry in a category needs to be in reverse chronological order, 把最近的经历列在前面. 当描述每一次经历时, 一定要写上日期, highlight your accomplishment and skills utilized or gained, 记住要避免使用人称代词.
活动
This section provides an opportunity to list any additional involvement not included in the 经验 section. Items listed here are typically not as relevant to your career goals as those listed in the 经验 section.
志愿者
志愿者 work or community service is useful to include. Whether you describe these activities or simply list them depends upon their relevance to your career goals and the skills utilized or developed. If highly relevant, it is best to include these in your 经验 section. If not, volunteer work can be listed with extracurricular activities.
技能
It is important to include a skills section in your resume. This typically includes computer and language skills, but may also include laboratory skills for science resumes.
哪些内容不能包含
A few things to not include on your resume are: • Age • Marital status • Social security number • A photo (unless specifically requested, 就像一些国际简历的情况一样)
A Few Tips for Writing Dynamic Descriptions on Your Resume
• Convey action – start each sentence with a dynamic action word. Typical description: “Was responsible for helping sorority raise funds for cancer 研究.” Remove the passive voice: “Helped sorority raise funds for cancer 研究.”
•使用“那又怎样”?’ test – “Played key role in establishing innovative fundraising events, resulting in the sorority consistently exceeding philanthropy goals.”
• Demonstrate and quantify results – “Developed innovative fundraising campaign that resulted in a 32% increase in donations to cancer 研究.”
