1)简历书写秘诀:简历应控制在一页或最多两页
在大多数情况下,这是正确的。简历的审查者很少会完全诚实的告诉你他或她在第一遍看简历的时候花了超过几秒钟的时间。除非你的简历有吸引眼球的设计、简洁的排版、引人注目的语言,才会马上引起他们的注意,然后在15秒后被筛选出来。考虑到这一现实,想象一下审查者的想法,当他或她接收到四至五页的简历,另外还有100份简历在这之后等待审查,你就会明白简历短小精悍的重要性。显然,当简历的长度限制在一到两页时,吸引到他们的注意力和被阅读的几率就会加大。这个规则有例外吗?当然!而确实,每多一个额外的页面你就会减少简历被阅读的机会,对于许多高管、合同工、顾问和技术专家来说这是不现实的,因为几乎不可能把多年的经验压缩到一个或两个页面中。当尝试写极为简洁的简历的时候,一些重大的成就就要为了完整的工作经历和教育年表而被移除。留下的只是一些无聊的公司,职位,日期清单,这基本上就使他们丧失了阅读的兴趣,将你的简历置于死循环中。更好的战略是在简历中尽可能多的写一些细节说服审查者并让他们相信你是他或她理想的候选人-强迫审查者拿起电话,通知你来面试。虽然这有时是一个艰难的平衡,您应该尽量减少字数,简洁语言来进行简历的编辑,以减少不必要的麻烦。简历中每一个字都要有它的目的。项目可以用列表来表示-继续教育课程、技术总结、协会和会员等。-这些通常被包含在一个附录中,这可能是也可能不是一个适当的使用。在简历中,使用简洁的、动态的、行动导向的语言来传达你的能力,向审查的公司增加你的价值,你将通过三个甚至更多的页面来捕捉和留住注意力。
Resume Writing Myths & Mistakes To Avoid
1)简历书写秘诀:简历应控制在一页或最多两页—Myth: Resumes should be only one, or at the most, two pages
In most cases, this is true. It is the rare reviewer of resumes who, when being completely honest, will tell you that he or she spends more than a few seconds in the first review of a resume. Unless your resume captures immediate attention through an eye-appealing design and succinct, compelling language, your resume will be screened out after just 15 seconds. With this reality in mind, imagine the thoughts of the reviewer when he or she receives a four- or five-page resume, with another 100 resumes waiting for review right behind it. Clearly, the odds of your resume capturing attention and being read increase when the length is limited to one or two pages. Are there exceptions to this rule? Absolutely! While it is true that with each additional page you reduce your chances of your resume being read thoroughly, for many executives, contract workers, consultants, and technical professionals it is unrealistic and nearly impossible to compress years of experience into one or two pages. When attempted, important achievements are left out to make room for a full chronology of the career history and education. What is left is a boring listing of companies, positions, and dates that are virtually guaranteed to turn off the reader and land your resume in the circular file. A better strategy is to write your resume with exactly as much detail as is needed to persuasively convince the reader that you are the ideal candidate to solve his or her problems - to compel the reader to pick up the phone and call you for an interview. While this is sometimes a difficult balance to strike, you should edit your resume with a very discriminating eye toward reducing unnecessary wordiness. Every word in your resume should have a purpose. Items that can be presented as a list - continuing education courses, technical summaries, associations and memberships, etc. - can often be included in an addendum that may or may not be used as appropriate. Within the resume, use succinct, dynamic, action-oriented language to convey your ability to add value to the reader's company and you will capture and hold attention through three or even more pages.
2)简历书写秘诀:所有的简历都要包含清晰的规定目标—Myth: All resumes should include a clearly stated objective.
It is essential that your resume is audience-focused - it must succinctly communicate that you understand the employer's needs and that you are uniquely qualified to meet those needs. While the use of an objective is a controversial issue, at its basis, an objective tells the reader what you want from him or her (focused on YOUR needs rather than the employers'). A popular and often more effective alternative to the objective, the qualifications summary, allows you to establish focus for the resume while summarizing the key qualifications and value you offer the employer. This is a subtle but critical difference - one that may weigh heavily in opening the door to an interview. While an objective is both appropriate and effective in some cases, for example, career changers or new graduates with little or no work experience in the targeted field, experiment with the qualifications summary as a strong alternative.
3)简历书写秘诀:简历应该彻底的描述每一个职位的职责—Myth:Resumes should thoroughly describe the responsibilities of each position
The absolute most important element of your resume is your value proposition. Your unique ability to solve business problems, meet challenging goals, and produce desired results should be the focus of your qualifications summary (see above) and this focus should be supported by proof throughout your career. How better to do this than through achievement-oriented, results-focused descriptions of your career history? While employers and recruiters will want to know the scope of your position (number of direct reports, amounts of budgets managed, areas of management authority, etc.) this is most effectively communicated within the context of the challenges you faced, the actions you took, and the results of your actions. "Responsibilities" only tell the reader what you were supposed to do, not what you actually did do. Use powerful, active language to concisely tell the reader the "story" behind your most recent or relevant positions. By documenting your consistent ability to produce results and solve problems you will demonstrate your ability to produce similar results in the future.
4)简历书写秘诀:简历要只包含最近十年的履历—Myth: Resumes should include only the last ten years of experience
Content of your resume should be strategically selected to support your focus and value proposition. While it is true that readers of your resume will be most interested in your most recent experience, there is often value in including experience further back in your history. Perhaps your early career includes work for well-known, prestigious companies. Perhaps you want to document the full scope of your cross-industry experience, much of which occurred in your early career. Perhaps you believe some valuable networking opportunities may come out of your experience 15 or 20 years ago. Or perhaps your most impressive accomplishments were in a position you held 12 years ago. In any case, if your career history is lengthy, it will be apparent to the reader that your career did not suddenly materialize ten years ago, so there is little harm and many benefits to summarizing this early experience. Of course, this does not mean that you must give equal page weight to your early career. If you feel early dates will be used to screen you out, subtly leave them out of your early career summary. If some early career positions have more strategic relevance than others, give them more emphasis in your summary. Think carefully about the content of your resume. If there is solid reasoning behind your desire to present early experience, than do so.
5)简历书写秘诀:简历应该包含个人信息,来表明你生活中的很多方面和兴趣—Myth: Resumes should include personal information, to indicate the many dimensions to your life and interests
There is no way to predict the personal biases of the individuals who will read your resume. The first and primary way that an employer uses a resume is to screen candidates out; don't give them any reason! Professional memberships and related volunteer work should often be included but religious affiliations, family status, social club memberships, and hobbies have no place on a resume. The only exception to this is when you are preparing a resume specifically written to appeal to a single individual who you are absolutely certain would be fascinated in your piloting license or passion for golf. Even then, be careful; you never know where your resume will be passed. However, if you are certain that your personal information will help you to break the ice and build rapport, you may have a valid reason for including it.
