节后离职潮:六招让简历更有实力
Looking for a job in the new year? Even if you are just thinking about looking for a job, having a "ready to go" résumé is always a good plan. Here are some things to remember when prepping your 2014 résumé.
想要在马年找工作?哪怕你仅仅只是有考虑找工作,有一份马上可以投递的简历也一直都是一个好主意。以下是当你准备2014年简历时应该要记住的内容。
1. Know your audience.
1.了解你的职位。
Think about the position(s) you would like to target. What are the top five requirements? If you already have a copy of a job description, you can use that as a guide. If not, you can run a search on LinkedIn, Indeed or another job board to find positions similar to what you are targeting. Once you review two to three job postings, you will have a solid list of required qualifications.
思考你要求职的岗位。这个岗位的前五个岗位职责是什么?如果你已经有了这个岗位的职位描述,那么你可以把其作为你求职的向导。如果你没有,那么你可以在LinkedIn、Indeed或者其他求职平台上搜索和你求职岗位相近的职位。一旦你看了两到三个招聘广告,你就对应聘条件有了大概的了解。
2. Know yourself.
2.了解你自己。
Now that the position requirements are clear, how does your experience match up? An effective résumé clearly establishes that you are qualified in each of the primary desired prerequisites. Your goal is to make it easy for a busy hiring manager to look at your résumé and quickly determine that you are a strong candidate for the open position. A "one size fits all" résumé never works as well as one that is customized to a specific role, because it requires the reader to think about how other experiences relate to desired qualifications. Hiring authorities may not take the time or have an interest in doing the extra work.
现在岗位要求已经明确了,那么你的工作经验怎么与之匹配呢?一份有效的简历需要明确说明你能满足岗位要求的先决条件。你的目标是使简历简单明白,让繁忙的招聘经理能够在迅速看过你的简历之后做出你就是这个空缺职位强有力候选者的决定。用同一份简历投递所有的职位远远没有专门为特殊职位写简历来的有效果。因为一尘不变的简历还需要读简历的人考虑为什么这上面的经历符合职位的条件。招聘部门是没有那么多时间或兴趣来做这些额外的工作的。
3. Move beyond the duties.
写一些职责之外的东西。
Most recruiters know the general duties related to careers within their specific fields. What really stands out is the impact and results you had within your career. For example, a sales associate may have duties of making outbound calls to prospective customers and documenting activity in their customer relationship management system. A more unique way of describing this same position is: "Initiated a minimum of 60 outbound calls daily to C-level professionals in the software industry. Exceeded company activity standards with an average connection rate of 20 percent. Planned and tracked sales funnel in Salesforce.com." Almost every role has a measurement of success – customer satisfaction, time to complete a task, volume of activity completed, error rate or even internal performance measurement rankings. Whenever possible, list those accomplishments or the impact you made in the role.
大多数招聘官都了解自身专业领域内相关职位的一般职责。真正突出的是你在你的职业中所拥有的影响和带来的结果。譬如,一个销售助理职责可能是给潜在的顾客打电话并记录在在客户关系管理系统中。描述这个职位的更特别的方式就是:“每天最少打60个电话给软件行业的C级客户。平均接通率比公司规定的标准高百分之二十。在Salesforce网站上规划和追踪销售漏斗。”几乎每一个职位都有衡量成功的标准——客户满意度,完成任务的时间,完成的工作量,错误率甚至是内部绩效排名。尽可能的列举这些标准或是强调你对工作的影响。
4. Consider "curb appeal."
4.考虑“外观吸引力”。
A résumé is a visual document. This means that using a layout that is organized, symmetrical, allows resting places for the eyes with good use of white space and is not overly text heavy or overly styled works best. A document that looks like a novel often scares off the reader because it looks like too much work.
简历是视觉化的。这意味最有效的方式是着采用有条理、匀称的布局,让眼睛可以在有效使用的页面空白上得到休息,并不需要过分冗长或过度修饰。一份像小说一样厚的简历常常会吓退阅读者因为它看上去要看很久。
5. Location, location, location.
5.注意位置。
Résumés are often opened first on a mobile device. Take a look at your document and see if the top one-third would entice the reader to scroll down. The most important and tailored information should be at the top to get the most attention.
人们经常在移动设备上阅读简历。检查一下你的简历,看看你简历上前三分之一的内容能否吸引阅读者继续滚动屏幕看下去。最重要和特别的信息都应该写在前面来引起注意。
6. Print and review.
6.打印并检查。
Make changes, print and review again. Writing a résumé is not fun. It is tedious and requires thinking about a tremendous amount of detail. Furthermore, to give you the greatest advantage, it requires customization for each position. However, the beneficiary of all of this effort is YOU. Hiring managers look at the résumé as your one chance to make a great first impression. If you take the easy way out with your résumé when you are trying to make the best impression, what will that mean when you are an employee? Take the extra time to print out and review your résumé thoroughly. Have a second person print out and review your résumé too. Then make changes and print out again.
简历改动后,把它打印出来并再次检查一下。写简历可不有趣。写简历需要考虑到一堆的细节,非常枯燥。另外,为了让其发挥最大作用,你还需要为了不同职位撰写不同简历。无论如何,这所有一切的努力最终收益的还是你自己。招聘经理对你的第一印象就是通过你的简历。如果你在试图给招牌经理留下好印象的同时,却不好好撰写简历,那么你在工作的时候还能有什么作为。花一些时间把简历打印出来并彻底检查一遍。让其他人把你的简历打印出来并也检查一遍。然后再修改一下打印出来。
