The format structure of English resume includes four parts: header, education, work experience and personal information.

If you already have a full-time job, you must put your work experience in the second place; If you are still a student at school, you should put your education in the second place. For example, an American business school student has worked in a big company for three years and has been promoted constantly, never changing jobs. Because of his new boss, he wants to change jobs. The headhunter asked him to send his resume, but there was no news for several days. He asked why the headhunter finally found his resume in the resume of the student class. It turned out that he used the format of student resume and was regarded as a student at school. Therefore, as a working person, if you put your education first, people will pay little attention to you.

Title part

1. Name. There are seven ways of writing, which we think are acceptable reasons or suitable for use. For example, the fourth way-Yang Li (Li Yang) is very convenient for recruiters, especially if the personnel manager is from China, and the tone is wrong or the name is unclear, which will be very embarrassing; The standard, popular and established name writing in the resumes of foreign-funded companies is the second one, Yang Li.

After consulting a large number of resumes of China people, we found a place worthy of correction, that is, some people spell their surnames in Cantonese. For example, Wang writes about Wang and Li writes about Li. I want to tell you two things here: first, this is only the spelling of Hong Kong people, not the international spelling; Second, when you apply for a passport abroad in the future, the Public Security Bureau will not approve you to use Cantonese Pinyin. However, we have also met some China people who have been abroad. For various reasons, their surnames are different from Chinese pinyin. That's for different reasons. We suggest not to use writing methods other than hanyu pinyin.

In addition, it is found that a small number of people use foreigners' surnames, such as Mary Smith, which is also very undesirable. Because if you take a foreigner's surname, others will think you are a foreigner, or your father is a foreigner, or you are married to a foreigner. It is very common and convenient to choose names in English, especially when the first letter of pinyin is Q, X or Z, so it is difficult for foreigners to pronounce the letters correctly. There is a gentleman named Wang Qiang whose business card is printed with John Wang, which is convenient for Chinese and foreign people to address him.

Between the first name and the last name, if there is an English name, you can add it or not, or use pinyin initials.

There are also four ways to write the name of two words. We suggest the third way, Xiaofeng, which is the simplest and most convenient. Everyone knows it's a first name, not a last name, or they may mistake your last name for Xiao.

2. Address.

Beijing will write about China in the future. Many people say, "Who doesn't know Beijing?" However, the country name should be added to the complete address and global postal address, but it is not necessary to use PRC, because China is simple and clear. The standard way to write postal code is to put it between the province name and the country name, at least before China, because it is a postal code in China.

3. Telephone.

The style of writing is very particular. The phone numbers in China's movies are often unclear and unprofessional. I want to remind you of a few points.

1) must be preceded by an area code, such as (86- 10). Because you are applying for a job in a foreign company, your resume will probably be faxed to London and new york. People don't know your area code and don't have time to look it up. If another job seeker has an area code on his mobile phone, the recruiter is likely to communicate with this person first. In addition, "user-friendliness" is very popular abroad, that is, trying to create convenience for each other, especially when looking for a job, we should deepen this awareness. Explain with the thinking logic of China people, "You begged him, not he begged you".

2) Add a "-"between 8 numbers, such as 6505-2266. In this way, it is easier to read and dial, otherwise, the first call may be dialed wrong.

3) Add a space between the area code and the brackets after the number, such as (86- 10) 6505-2266. This is a rule of English writing format, which many people ignore or even don't know.

4) When writing or informing others about mobile phones, there are certain norms, and the "3-3-4 principle" should be used, such as "138-135-1234". Others read five words, which will lead to two results: first, the more words, the less likely it is to remember them all, and even make mistakes, reducing efficiency, and some people still read quickly; Secondly, some people conclude that this is the reading method of Taiwan Province people, with a strong local color. We pursue international norms.

5) Never leave your fax number in the office, lest everyone in the office know that you want to quit. If you have a fax number at home, you'd better tell the other party. In case he can't find you, you can send a few words, which is faster. It will be more convenient for the other party to send letters of appointment or materials in the future. Don't wait for the future. From now on, we should cultivate the awareness of "user-friendliness" and make it convenient for each other everywhere.

6) Leave a message phone is very popular abroad. Some people buy voicemail to find a job. By the way, this is the information culture. China people, even many Asians, are not used to using message phones, but with the increase of international business and cultural exchanges, more and more people are willing to leave messages on the phone, and their message-leaving skills are getting higher and higher.

7) Old people at home try to write messages. It often happens that when you go out, your friend calls, and when you come back, your mother tells you, "Someone called for you today." You ask, "Who's here?" Generally, she will only tell you: "It's a man" or "It's a woman". When you ask, "Why don't you ask his phone number?" My mother often replies, "I hung up before I asked him." I want to say two things here: first, we should communicate with parents about how to write messages, that is, how to answer the phone and how to write messages; Second, there is a traditional concept of China. In the past, only the office had a telephone, and callers usually asked you for business. People who answer the phone always feel aloof and have formed a habit. This habit is popular even among the younger generation. When many people answer the phone, if they fail to recognize each other in time, they often start with a cold tone. Here, we suggest to the whole society that anyone who calls you may be your friend, colleague or partner. Even if there is no one at present, most of them may become one of them in the future, so we must treat every call with enthusiasm. In addition, think about it from another angle: if you call someone and the other person has the same attitude, how will you feel? We should advocate polite and enthusiastic telephone language in the whole society, which will be mentioned in our future special lectures.

academic degree

1. Time should be reversed.

Recent education should be at the forefront.

2. The name of the school should be capitalized and bold.

This is convenient for recruiters to quickly identify your academic qualifications, and the principle of "YRIS" is used here.

3. Place names are aligned to the right, and all are capitalized and bold.

China must be written after the place name. For example, the spelling of Haikou is very similar to Hokkaido, Japan. Those who read resumes may be foreigners, and those who don't know can't tell which country it is. Maybe you have been abroad, which is a good thing, but if you go to a less famous place and you don't add the name of the country, people won't realize it. In short, it has caused some inconvenience and inefficiency. From the perfect point of view.

4. Education.

If you are studying, it is more rigorous to start with the candidates; If you have graduated, you can put your academic title first. See the sample for details.

5. Social workers are cadres in class and only write their positions; Have participated in a club association, and indicate the position and club name. If there is no position, write "club member". Clubs and associations are generally used abroad. You don't have to write down the date and work details, some can be left for work experience.

By the way, the translation of several titles:

1) display. Monitor is very popular in China, but monitor is very common abroad, which is more international; In addition, using the YRIS principle, it looks a little bigger.

2) Secretary of the Youth League branch. A secretary is ok, but when dealing with foreigners, if you join a purely commercial organization, the less political background, the better. Often a class is a branch, and we can use the class to represent the branch, so it is not appropriate to use the secretary for the class, so it is better to use the president. In a sense, the role of the monitor and the secretary of the League branch is the same. But if the two are neck and neck, you might as well use the co-president. Moreover, if you write about the president, the monitor may be unhappy when someone asks him. In order to handle the relationship well, we might as well be modest and use the vice president. This will have little possibility of side effects.

3) Vice President. It is the most appropriate and common to use vice president abroad.

6. Scholarships.

Generally summed up in one sentence. If there is more than one, try to summarize it in one sentence. But if it is a student's resume, there are other ways to deal with it, and we will explain it next time.

7. achievements.

If it is not in the top five, it is recommended not to write. Because if you are in the top five, I feel that you are not an excellent student. Once written, someone will chase you and embarrass you.

Business experience

First of all, it should be emphasized again that for people who are working, experience should be written before education, and for students, education should be put before experience.

When writing the time, you should pay attention to: a) Write the current work first, and write the time on the left, such as 1997-present. Please click on the English resume sample on the left for detailed writing. Besides, you should pay more attention to spelling. Don't write present as president, or you will be president now. How dare the boss hire you? This kind of "fish escaping from the net" can't be found by spelling check, so be especially careful. We'll talk about this later.

B) For previous works, only write the year, such as 1993- 1995. This writing method is mainly suitable for the following three situations: First, the working hours are earlier; Two, working time for more than two years; The third is to extend working hours skillfully. For example, if you work in a company from 1997 12 to 1998 1998, it seems that you have been working for a long time, although it is only two months.

C) Previous work, plus month, such as May 1998 or May 1998. This kind of writing will naturally appear more accurate and more in line with the taste of banking employers. Some people in China prefer to use 5, 1998 or1998,5. The former writing is rare, and it will only be used when it is really impossible to write. 1998,5 is pure Chinglish, which is totally unacceptable.

D) Several ways to write "summer intern".

Summer interns, summer analysts, summer assistants, summer assistants, one kind is to write summer interns directly, regardless of professional titles; The second is to be a summer analyst, which is more suitable for summer work during undergraduate or postgraduate period; The third is to write a summer assistant, which is suitable for many situations; The fourth is to write Summer Associate, which refers to the summer job of MBA students. And it is generally believed that the level of summer assistants will be higher than that of summer analysts. We will introduce the ladder model of American investment bankers' career development in future lectures, which will involve different positions and titles.

Write your work experience in reverse order, and you must use some sentences in your work content.

personal data

1. Name.

There are four ways to write it: personal, personal information, other information and additional information. Whether it is education, work experience or personal data, you can capitalize the first letter, capitalize all letters, and lowercase all letters. The standard format of Harvard Business School is all lowercase letters, which has been used in mainstream business society for many years. In addition, the name can be written on the far left or in the middle.

2. language.

There are several levels. Native speakers refer to their mother tongue; Strictly speaking, fluency in is more fluent; English as a working language is not very fluent, but it is more reliable; Don't write some knowledge if you are not sure. In an interview, language is the easiest. Once you fail in the exam, he will think that you are lying, and even think that the whole resume contains many lies.

3. computer.

China people like to use "familiarity" most, whether it is a Chinese resume or an English resume. "Familiar" is a weak word, indicating that it is not skilled and not commonly used. If there are several softwares, some are more skilled and some are more familiar, it is recommended to write only the software name. Never write anything that is completely uncertain or unfamiliar. Don't think that you won't be tested without a computer, and he will also test you on one or two key usages. If you really use a lot, you might as well use "frequently used".

4. Qualification certificate.

The most important thing to note is that some people usually translate certified public accountants into CPA, but all countries in the world have their own CPA, and some of them do not recognize each other, so be sure to write down the country and indicate the year of admission.

There are some hobbies, which can show a certain quality or write, such as piano exam.

Let me give you a debut question: TOEFL, GRE, GMAT, which one should I write? Give the answer next time.

5. Hobbies and specialties.

1) writing ability. Don't write if you are weak. The interviewer may not be interested in any project, and sometimes he will talk to you, especially after several or more interviews. Some recruiters like to talk about some light topics. Once it is your weakness, most people will be embarrassed, show embarrassment and lose confidence, which is very bad for you. More importantly, he will think you are lying.

2) Write only two or three items. Because few people are strong in many ways. If you think you can play well, your standards may be lower. Of course, some people are really good at everything, but most people don't believe that everyone has many strengths, so you don't need to write so much to avoid giving people a frivolous feeling.

3) Don't write about specific hobbies, such as sports, music and reading. Others don't know what you like, or make people feel that you have no real hobbies at all. To make matters worse, people will think that your writing level is poor.

4) Give a few words. For example, if you like to travel and some jobs require frequent business trips, it is very beneficial for you to write about travel. Some women write about cooking, seeking truth from facts, and giving people a practical feeling, which is always good for a position like a secretary.
