在如今信息技术如此发达的社会,我们已经告别了挨家挨户敲门给简历的阶段,而且我们的脚力远不及光纤传输来的快捷,只要鼠标一点,简历就能传送出去。所以现代人求职时,面试官第一眼映入眼帘的不是你的外貌身形而是求职者的简历。纵使你长得再沉鱼落雁,身姿再怎么绰约都无法为你求职的第一时间加分。因此,写好一份优秀出众有内容的简历那才是求职成功的关键。下面,作者为你搜集了一份来自一名外教对于撰写求职信的建议,希望对于即将投递简历的你们有所帮助。
How many people know exactly what a curriculum vitae is? How many people know the differences between a curriculum and a résumé? For sure we are familiar with this terminology, but we may miss some important points that could help our career. Nowadays you must possess a neat curriculum or résumé to get the job you love. The purpose of this article is to guide you through the process of composing a curriculum following a few simple and clear steps.
有多少人知道什么是个人履历(curriculum vitae)?多少人知道履历(curriculum vitae)和简历(résumé)的区别?我们都很熟悉这个术语,但是可能会遗漏些对我们职业生涯或许有帮助的关键点。现如今要获得一个你热爱的职务,你必须有一个极好的履历或简历。这篇文章的目的就是通过一些简单清晰的步骤指导你写好履历。
1.Choose What Fits You Best: CV or Résumé?选择适合你的:履历(CV)还是简历(Résumé)?
A curriculum vitae (or CV, Latin for “course of life”) has these characteristics:
履历(CV,拉丁语“人生进程”)有以下几个特点:
• Variable length depending on the necessity (up to 2 or more pages)长度根据需要多变(多达2页或更多)
• Focuses on education and academic background of a specific area
关注教育和一定领域的学术背景
• Aims at demonstrating one's qualifications
目的在于展现一个人的能力
A résumé (French for “summary”) is different:
简历(法语“总结”)有所不同:
• Short length长度短
• General but complete summary of education and professional大体而完整的教育与职业概述。
• Experiences经历
• Aims at getting employment or job interview目标在于得到工作或职位面试。
2. Set Up the General Features
按照一般特征排版
• Font: any font that looks professional (e.g. Times New Roman) 字体:如何看起来专业的字体(比如Times New Roman)
• Font size: 12 字体大小:12
• Line-spacing: 1.15 行间距:1.15
• Margins: 1” 边距:1”
• Single sided on white paper 在白纸上单面打印
• No underlining 不要用下划线
• No different fonts: size will change depending on the hierarchy of lines; bold and CAPS will help you highlight something 不要用不同的字形:根据层次结构改变字体大小,加粗或者使用大写字母会帮你强调某物。
• Number pages and type your full name on every page. Normally the résumé is a one-page paper, so you should omit the number and your full name at the bottom of the page. 标页码并在每页都写上你的全名。通常简历(résumé)是一页长度,所以你应该删除页码号,并把你的全名写在底端。
3.Don't Forget the 5 “Musts” of a CV
别忘了CV的五个“必须做”
• Well-organized and logical
条理清晰有逻辑
• Concise and brief (in case it's a résumé) 简洁简短(当写résumé的时候)
• Complete 完整
• Up to date 更新
• Professional appearance: do not mix styles or fonts 显得专业:别把形式、字体弄混乱
4.Divide it into Sections
分为不同小节
Dividing a CV into sections helps the reader have a clear idea of what he is reading. Though you could write your autobiography, here you have to outline your beautiful life experiences. Schematising is helped by dividing the whole paper into sections. Some sections must always be present, whereas some others can be omitted. The underlying list should be followed in the suggested order. The starred sections are mandatory.
将个人履历分不同小节会帮助读者理清所读的内容。虽然你可以写你的自传,但在这你必须展现你美丽的人生经历。通过把整篇分为不同部分能使文章更加系统化。有些部分必须展现,而有些其他部分可以删除。按顺序遵从下面的清单。标星号的部分是必需要写的。
• Contacts 联系方式
• Full name, mailing address, email address, phone number(s).
全名,通讯地址,电子邮箱,手机号码
• Education* 教育
• Degrees and certifications that are relevant. Insert the title of your thesis. Most recent is first on the list. 相关的学历和凭证。插入你的论文题目。最新的要放到最前面。
Honors and Awards
荣誉与奖项
Honors and awards received, including scholarships. Do not add descriptions. 获得的荣誉和奖项,包括奖学金。不要添加描述。
Professional Experience
职业经历
Most recent goes first. Include employer's name and job position. Do not add redundant descriptions. 最新的优先,包括雇主姓名和职位。不要添加多余的描述。
Publications
出版
In case you have published any books or articles during your academic career.假如你在学术生涯中出版过书籍或文章的话。
Volunteer Experience
志愿服务经历
Normally, at US or UK schools, pupils contribute to local voluntee associations.通常,在美国或英国学校,学生为当地志愿服务组织做贡献。
Interests
兴趣爱好
List interests and hobbies that are real and at the same time active. Positive adjectives and qualities are preferable, of course. You may insert some quality that makes you special.列出真实并积极参与的兴趣爱好。当然,有积极的形容词和品质更好。你可以插入一些让你独特的品质。
Certifications and Licensure
证书和执照
In case you have any area-specific certificates or licenses.假如你有任何相关领域的证书或执照的话。
Professional Activities or Research
相关专业的活动或研究
Academic or professional relevant experience.
相关学术或专业的经历。
Added Qualifications (mainly language and IT skills)
其余的证书(主要是语言和IT技能)
Make sure you list the languages you know and your exact level (elementary, good, excellent, fluent, native speaker). As for IT skills, list the most important tasks you can fulfill with a computer. 别忘了列出你了解的语言和你确切的水平(基础,好,优秀,流利,母语)。至于IT技能,列出你能用电脑完成的最重要的任务。
5. Pull a Cover Letter Alongside Your CV
在CV旁加一封求职信
A cover letter is a brief and concise letter addressed to your potential employer. You may think… Why isn't a CV enough for the employer? It surely helps him/her understand how many good qualifications you have. It provides information about your academic career. That is the way the employer understands if your studies and your experiences fit his or her necessities. But none of the following are included in the CV: your motivation, the passion for the job you're applying for, and the desire to do your best. That's why it is highly recommendable to write a cover letter expressing your motivation and capacity to be ready to work. 求职信是一封写给你未来雇主的简洁的信。你可能会想,有个人履历不就够了吗?它肯定让你的雇主了解你有多少优秀能力,提供你学术生涯的信息。通过个人履历你的雇主了解你的学习和经历是否适合他们的需要。但是在个人履历中体现不出以下方面:你的动力,你对这份工作的激情,和你想要做到极致的欲望。因此强烈建议写一封求职信来表达你的动力和准备充分的能力。
6. How to Write a Cover Letter
如何写一封求职信
You will write your cover letter, dividing it into paragraphs. It is recommended to use Times New Roman and size 12. Make sure the writing is single-spaced. Every line must be aligned left, i.e. no justifying. Remember: use a formal language and never ever use short forms(don't, isn't, aren't…). The traditional format requires you to leave two spaces after each period. Follow the instructions while looking at the example provided here. 写求职信时,把它分为不同段落。推荐使用Times New Roman和12号字号。要用单倍间距。每行都要左对齐。记住:使用正规语言,永远不要使用缩写形式(比如don’t, isn’t, aren’t等等)。传统形式要求你在句号后留两个空格。按照指导做,你可以在这里看看例子。
Personal Information
个人信息
Home address and date. Do not put your name.
家庭住址和日期。不要写你的名字。
Addressee Information
收件人信息
Use this format: 使用以下格式:
First Name Middle Name Last Name, Position 名,中间名,姓,职位
Company
公司
Address
地址
First Paragraph: Introduction第一段:介绍
Use “Dear” followed by Mr, Ms or Mrs. Do not use periods after the titles (i.e. do not type Mr.). This first paragraph contains the information about how you found the job announcement. Express briefly your interest, using formulas like, “I am extremely interested in this job opportunity.”
使用“Dear”,然后写Mr,Ms,或者Mrs。在称呼后不要加句号,(比如,不要输入Mr.)第一段要包括你是如何得知这个招聘启事的。简单地表达你的兴趣,使用客套用语,比如“我对这个工作机会非常感兴趣”
*blank line*
Second Paragraph: Body 第二段:主体
This is where you show all your best qualities. Include your education, academic background, and highlight the most brilliant aspects of your career. Say what you are good at, how good you are at working in a group, collaborating with others. Do not forget to point out the values they are looking for! For instance, if you're applying for teaching in a language school, express your passion for cultures, languages, traditions, travelling… and anything related! If you have professional experience, make it stand out. If you don't, you can use a straightforward expression such as, “Although I have no work experience, I am a quick learner and can work with minimum supervision. I welcome the opportunity to prove myself.”
在这一段你要展现你最好的能力。包括你的教育学术背景,并强调你事业中最闪亮的部分。说出你擅长什么,你有多擅长在团队中工作,与他人合作。别忘了点明他们寻找的优点!比如,如果你在申请在语言学校里教课,表达你对文化,语言,传统,旅游以及任何相关方面的兴趣!如果你有专业经历,把这一点突显出来。如果你不这么这方面经历,你可以使用比较直接的表达,比如“尽管我没有工作经历,我学得很快,并能够在最少的监管下工作。我欢迎这个机会来证明自己。”
Third Paragraph: Summary 第三段:总结
Here, briefly state your will to work with the company and gently ask for an interview. You can directly personalize the paragraph of the sample letter: “If you believe I possess the qualities you are looking for, I would greatly appreciate an interview at your convenience. I can be reached at [phone #] every day of the week after [time]. If I am not available, please leave a message and I will return your call promptly. I also can be reached at my e-mail address: [email address].”
在这里,简单地说明你想在这个公司工作的意愿,并温和地申请面试机会。你可以直接把以下这个范文改成你自己的:“如果您相信我有你们在寻找的能力,我会非常感谢您在方便时给我一次面试机会。您如果想联系我,可以在每天【时间】之后打我电话【电话号码】。如果我没有接,请留言我会立即回您电话。您也可以给我发电子邮件:【电子邮件地址】。”
Conclusion结语
Say thanks and greet the addressee formally. Use neutral expressions like “Sincerely.”
正式地向收件人表达谢意和问候。使用中性的表达,比如“真诚地”。
