The following is the relevant content of my English resume for you, I hope it will help you.

First, the more the better!

It's not that the more content, the more powerful it is. Generally speaking, English resumes are recommended to be completed within one page, but in the United States, it is very easy to get stuck because it is shorter than 8.5' x 1 1' American stationery. A very dense resume with almost no blank parts is uncomfortable at first glance. However, there are many applicants in big companies, and they will only spend a few minutes on a resume at most during the initial screening, so they are particularly afraid of big characters. There are many specific ways to help you grasp the density of your resume:

1. The minimum font size cannot be less than 10 (but not greater than 12. Generally, 1 1 and 12) are used at most.

2. The margin around should be controlled at about 0.8 inch.

3. This is very important: tailor your resume for each category (or even each position). As a college student who is at school or has just graduated or has not worked long, he will be less picky when looking for a job, so there may be three or four completely different kinds of jobs and student activities during his internship. At this time, in order to show rich experience, it is very inappropriate to write all irrelevant jobs/activities. The first problem is relevance, and the second problem is that the resume discussed is too dense. Therefore, if you are looking for a job in an industry, if the work is more customer-oriented, you can only write about work and activity experiences related to socialization, communication and leadership; On the other hand, if you work in an office, you can focus on organization and highlight relevant abilities.

Second, details are far more important than imagined.

Everyone, including myself, has racked their brains and focused on the following description of the most important work experience when writing a resume. It takes a long time to choose words and make sentences, so they spend less time in seemingly unimportant small places. In fact, awesome resume content may not get you an interview, but sloppy format and wording are likely to make you lose this opportunity. I think the details that need attention are:

1. Fight, fight or fight. A spelling mistake can easily appear on the page. Maybe everyone can basically find out the misspelled words with word, so pay attention to grammar problems. Writing a resume is very helpful for others to read. You don't have to find a native English speaker. Sometimes, people or English teachers become numb when you look at something for a long time, and any new pair of eyes can see new feelings.

The choice of words is actually a matter of opinion, but I still want to mention it. All the details of work experience and organizational experience should start with verbs, which should be active, effective and specific, and use auxiliary flows such as make and do as little as possible. In addition, the past experience is described by the past tense of verbs.

3. Punctuation. Punctuations in Chinese writing are all full-angle, so there is no space behind them. English punctuation must be followed by spaces! Commas, semicolons and colons are often used in resumes, all of which are the same, with no spaces in front and 1 spaces behind them. If you make a mistake, it actually looks obvious.

4. The format of place and time should be unified. Don't wait until 20 12-20 13, and then use 20 12 ~ 20 13 for the next item (pay attention to both symbols and spaces); If you want to write the month, you should write everything (except the whole year), whether the month is spelled completely or the abbreviations of the three letters should be unified. The format of places is the same, such as China and Shanghai, as well as Boston and Ma.

Third, other things that can help your resume look good or attract attention!

Font. In fact, there are not many fonts suitable for writing resumes. I always use Times New Roman when I'm not sure. I use Palatino myself, which is very close to the times, but my visual impression is different. Learn how to choose. Not all serious fonts are suitable for resumes (yes, everyone knows that comics Sans are not suitable). Some people say that ArialHelvetica is also very good, but I think Serif is more suitable for a resume with a large amount of text. Garamond is also a very classic font, or serif, but I don't recommend using it on my resume. Looks a little tired.

2. Clear hierarchy. Resume is basically divided into four layers: chapter title (education, experience, project, others, etc. ), organization name, department and position. If the company is not famous, you can add a line of explanation (for example, xxx Million, the largest wealth management company in this city, manages assets), with detailed contents. These layers can use different text formats (but they must use the same font! ) I use this:

Title: All words are bold, and there is a dividing line below.

Organization name: bold type

Departments and positions are written in one line: bold and italic.

Company description (optional): italicized

Experience description: no special format, small black dots (indentation must be aligned)

3. What are the following details of a job experience? This is basically proportional to the working hours. A summer internship can write up to four articles, and you can write a lot in a few years. I have read seven or eight articles. It is more effective to combine long and short sentences (two lines and one line replacement).

4. The last part can be called other information, including language skills, computer skills, received training, etc. Finally, it is very personal: special deeds and hobbies. Don't be too trivial. Some of my classmates and colleagues wrote that they can solve the third-order Rubik's Cube in one minute, and they can recite 100 decimal places of pi. They have been to every continent in the world, which is interesting. Hobbies and hobbies should be written about what you really love and can talk about. Because the only reason you write these things is to expect the interviewer to have a common language and personality with you. Everyone likes to travel. Unless you are really an explorer or have been to 30 countries and know the geography and culture of each country well, there is nothing to say. Don't write photography if you like taking selfies. Sports are flattering in front of Americans (be careful that your favorite team and the team that officials like are sworn enemies! ), but I think people in China always write badminton, but Americans don't understand it, and it's not interesting (but I wrote it because I won the championship in the school competition, in short, I want to be special).
