1. What is a resume anyway?
什么是简历？
Remember: a resume is a self-promotional document that presents you in the best possible light, for the purpose of getting invited to a job interview. It‘s not an official personnel document. It‘s not a job application. It‘s not a "career obituary"! And its not a confessional。
should the resume content be about?
应该在简历上写些什么？
It‘s not just about past jobs! It‘s about YOU, and how you performed and what you accomplished in those past jobs--especially those accomplishments that are most relevant to the work you want to do next. A good resume predicts how you might perform in that desired future job。
’s the fastest way to improve a resume?
完善简历的捷径是什么？
Remove everything that starts with "responsibilities included" and replace it with on-the-job accomplishments. (See Tip 11 for one way to write them。)
is the most common resume mistake made by job hunters?
写简历时最常见的`错误是什么？
Leaving out their Job Objective! If you dont show a sense of direction, employers wont be interested. Having a clearly stated goal doesnt have to confine you if its stated well。
s the first step in writing a resume?
写简历的第一步是什么？
Decide on a job target (or "job objective") that can be stated in about 5 or 6 words. Anything beyond that is probably "fluff" and indicates a lack of clarity and direction。
do you decide whether to use a Chronological resume or a Functional one?
The Chronological format is widely preferred by employers, and works well if youre staying in the same field (especially if youve been upwardly-mobile). Only use a Functional format if youre changing fields, and youre sure a skills-oriented format would show off your transferable skills to better advantage; and be sure to include a clear chronological work history!
