如何打造完美英文简历

 　　1. Organise 1 your life 

　　第一步：组织好你的经历 
　　In functional 2 CVs, you put your skills into categories then briefly 3 list past job titles at the bottom. These are suitable for those who have been unemployed 4 for long periods, held different types of jobs in the past, changed jobs too frequently, are returning to work after a long period or who wish to change career。 
　　功能型简历——强调技能、资质以及成就。适合于以下情况：有很长时间没有工作过了、过去频繁更换工作不想给招聘者留下不好的印象、工作经历有中断、跨专业求职，但你具有申请职位所需的相关技能。 
　　Recent graduates and others on a consistent career path usually opt 5 for the chronological 6 format 7. These CVs list your jobs and duties for each in reverse chronological order。 
　　时序性简历——是要按照逆时序记录你曾就职的职位的。适合于应届毕业生，或者工作不曾未间断过。 
　　2. Categorize your achievements 
　　第二步：给你的成就分类 
　　When doing up a chronological CV, you should outline sections of your experience, education and skills to show what you’ve accomplished 8. HR personnel and employers take less than a minute to scan your CV, so it’s imperative 9 to highlight and organize items into several concise 10 and relevant segments。 
　　写时序性简历时，应该着重概括你的经历、教育和技能。HR人员和你的雇主会对你的简历一扫而过，所以简历上必须突出和分成几个简洁、相关的部分。 
　　If you’re a recent graduate and therefore have not yet been employed, put your Education section first. In addition to the basics – university name, degree and graduation date – you can include relevant coursework, honors or awards。 
　　如果你因为刚刚毕业所以还没有工作经验，那么把你的教育经历放在首位。包括一些基本的方面，比如大学名称，学士学位和毕业日期。当然也包括你修过的相关课程、所获荣誉或奖项等等。 
　　Other categories might include Relevant Work Experience, Volunteer Experience, Computer Skills, Publications, Activities, Language Skills and so on。 
　　其他分类还包括相关工作经验、志愿者经历、电脑技能、发表过的文章、参加过的活动、语言能力等等。 
　　3. Appearance can make or break your CV。 
　　第三步：格式可以成就你的简历，也可能毁了它 
　　– Fonts: Whether you email, fax or post your CV, keep your font plain and easy to read. And select a reasonable size – anywhere between 9 and 12 points should be acceptable. Use a sans serif font like Arial or Verdana, not Times New Roman。 
　　– 字体：无论你是发电子邮件、传真或是邮寄你的简历，都应该让你的字体看上去舒服、易于阅读。记得要选择一个合适的字体大小，最好是9号到12号之间。字体方面，最好用Arial或Vrdana，而不是Times New Roman。 
　　– Formatting 11: Too many different fonts, colors and graphic 12 styles will hold the reader up. Simple bullets are best for separating your duties and skills; use bold and italics sparingly. Formatting should highlight your accomplishments 13, not draw attention away from them。 
　　– 格式：过多的字体、颜色和样式会分散读者的注意力。简单的项目符号能最好地表明你的职责和技能，同时，有节制地使用粗体和斜体。使用格式是为了突出你的成就，而非分散别人的注意力。 
　　4. Content is King 
　　第四步：内容才是王道 
　　– Action-words: Use strong Action Verbs to highlight your job experience and duties. Instead of starting your sentence with a noun, kick off with an active verb. For example: Customer Service Representative. Assisted customers, trained and supervised 15 new employees, organized special promotional events。 
　　– 行为动词：使用简洁有力的动词来突出你的工作经验和职责，而不是用名词开头。比如：客户服务代表。帮助客户，培训和监管15名新员工，组织专门的销售活动。 
　　– Numbers: It’s a good idea to include numbers, percentages and amounts in your job descriptions to back up your achievements. For example, Increased monthly sales by ?100,000 over a 6-month period. Increased turnover 14 by 20% in first year. Supervised a team of 10 people。 
　　– 数字：在简历中使用数字或百分比使成就更具有说服力是个不错的主意。例如：销售额在6个月间以每个月?100,000的速度增长，第一年增加了20%的营业额。监管一个10人的团队。
　　– Length: No one wants to scan through two or more pages of long-winded accomplishments and experience. If it doesn’t all fit, cut it down to the most relevant and impressive items。 
　　– 长度：没人愿意看长篇大论的简历。遇到不必要的部分就删减掉，留下最相关、给人印象最深刻的部分。
