求职文书-Writing A Resume 如何写简历

the most important part of the resume and should explain briefly and clearly why you are the best candidate for the job.

Begin by going back to the list of skills you made earlier, and ask yourself which of these are relevant to the job you''re applying for. Try to fit these skills into a few lines describing your profession, your particular expertise, any special awards you''ve won or achievements that you''ve accomplished, any relevant personal characteristics that could help you do the job successfully and perhaps also your objectives or interests. The key point here is to be relevant. Gear the skills you have to the demands of the job.

For example:

Over 15 years as a museum curator, specializing in Pre-Columbian Art. Proven experience in exhibition planning, loans, acquisitions, collection management and research. Several articles published in leading academic journals. High-level professional contacts at numerous international museums. Accustomed to producing exciting and educational exhibitions of the highest possible standard.

Note that one way to plan your summary is to break it into three parts, with the first part describing your profession, the second, your skills and knowledge, and the third, a short sentence summarizing personal characteristics that might be useful to the job you''re applying for.

The Facts

If your "promotion" has done its job, your potential employer will still be reading and on the way to becoming a future employer. But now you have to back up the claims you made in the first part of the resume by listing exactly where you gained your Experience, Education, Awards, etc.

Note that there are at least two ways of presenting this information. The first and most frequently used is a chronological format in which your details are laid out in reverse order, the most recent, first.

For example:

Foreman, Bertie''s Bolts Ltd. 1997-current

Responsible for a team of twelve machine operators with 100% record of meeting production targets.

Machinist, Wally''s Widgit Factory 1996-1997

Operated specialized heavy machinery, producing 10,000 widgits per day. Increased widgit production by 12% over a three month period.

Alternatively, you can present your experience according to function. This means grouping together your various experiences according to skill area. Functional resumes tend to be longer than chronological resumes, but avoid repeating descriptions of similar work in different places and place the emphasis on the work you''ve done rather than where you did it.

In general, employers say they prefer chronological resumes, however for people looking to change careers or for those with short, sporadic or repetitive employment histories, a resume which emphasizes skills and hides periods of unemployment can be a way to avoid early disqualification

For example:

Marketing and Management

?Managed new business from start-up to profitable venture

?Opened new markets resulting in a profit increase of 18%

?Hired and trained sales and administration staff

?Sold business at a profit four times the initial investment

A functional resume would contain two or three skills-based area such as this, followed by a brief chronological work history.

Style

So far, we''ve discussed what your resume is going to say in order to sell you. Here are a few tips on how your resume should speak:

?When listing work experience decide which are more impressive, the positions you held or the firms you worked for and emphasize them in bold.

?Put dates in italics at the end of the line to de-emphasize them.

?Use numbers wherever possible, especially in your "facts" section. ("Increased sales" is nice, but "Increased sales by 15% over a 6 month period" sounds credible.)

?Begin sentences with active power words (achieved, clarified, conducted etc.)

?Use short phrases rather than sentence: "Increased sales by? rather than "I increased sales by." Remember, employers scan, they don''t read.

?Make sure the layout is consistent; if you''ve put periods at the end of headings, check that all headings have periods.

?Forget the old adage about keeping your resume to one page. Size doesn''t really matter!

When your resume is finally finished read it through carefully to ensure there are no spelling or grammatical errors. Give it to a friend to check as well, then leave it for a few days, before checking again with fresh eyes.

Lastly, laserprint your resume on clean white paper (unless you''re looking for a job in a particularly creative field, colored paper suggests that you''re

trying to stand out by means other than your skills) an
