If writing a resume is the most painful thing, then writing an English resume is pain x 100?

Did you say what you think?

Let's take a look at what an excellent English resume looks like:

Let me briefly introduce typesetting:

A resume should be one page. Not to mention this, English is especially used to a one-page resume. If it is not 10 years experience and rich project experience, it is recommended not to exceed one page.

Avatar: Like a professional Chinese resume, basic information is put in the avatar, just write your name and contact information. Don't put an avatar, and don't write information such as age and gender. It will be unprofessional.

Name: If there is no commonly used English name, write a Chinese name without choosing an English name. In English, the first name comes before the last name. If there is an English name, it is suggested to spell the Chinese name and put it in brackets.

Email: Students can use it. Edu e-mail, it is recommended to use @gmail.com e-mail overseas, and @ 163.com e-mail can be used at home. QQ email is too personal to be used on your resume. It is unprofessional to suggest naming the mailbox with your own name, and you can also use the nickname, game character, phone number and date of birth of the year (for example).

Telephone: It is suggested to add the area code and write it in an easy-to-dial form, such as (86) 188-888-8888.

Module content: In addition to basic information, there are generally four modules:

Education education

Professional experience in work

Organization/activity leadership experience or activity

Other miscellaneous items

In addition to the most important and necessary education and work experience, English resumes generally include some activities outside work. If the length is long, this module can be omitted. Just put a small module behind education and work, and simply put in important organizations and activities.

Other modules generally list languages, skills, certificates/licenses (if any) and hobbies.

It should be noted that the module title should be capitalized, or at least the first letter of all words should be capitalized.

If you have project experience, you will not mention it separately in your English resume, but write it in your work experience, like this:

Information such as self-evaluation, job hunting intention and expected salary are generally not recommended in resumes.

Self-evaluation: Not recommended. Self-evaluation is basically the same, without any valuable information. Especially for students, when they have little experience, it is easy to write self-evaluation to make up the number of words. Experience can tell at a glance whether there are scholarships, club activities and internship experience, and your value can be fully demonstrated through experience without unnecessary self-summary. Unless there are some special situations/skills/values that can't be reflected by previous experience, or you can really summarize and refine your different advantages and characteristics.

Job intention: it should not appear in the resume content, but should be written in the name of job email and resume file, such as "yuanyuan chenwondercv ptainter". At the same time, it is necessary to fill in the position/job intention information submitted in official website or the recruitment website, and convey it clearly enough to the recruiter.

Expected salary: It is unprofessional to write expected salary in the resume text. Many positions may take several rounds of interviews, and some interviewers should not know your salary information. Usually HR thinks you can enter the interview. Your resume contains salary information, and he will erase it and print it to the interviewer. Similarly, this part of information can be filled in the job information, or face-to-face communication can wait until the interview.

Apart from self-evaluation suggestions, it should not be put aside at all to avoid becoming a sub-item. Job hunting intention and expected salary just should not appear in the resume text. Clear and complete information filled in the recruitment platform/delivery channel can help you pass the screening more smoothly.

Module order: Students are mainly educated, and those who have worked 1 year or more are mainly working experience. If you particularly want to highlight your education or work, you can advance this section. Next, put the activity experience, and the last part is other modules.

The above typesetting super resume has been completed, and you can use the super resume template directly.

Professional templates should be supported by professional content. In fact, there are two major problems in English resumes that are most easily broken:

1. This expression is inaccurate.

2. Spelling, formatting and punctuation errors

How to express it accurately

English resumes are particularly easy to grow casually and full of nonsense, which makes people feel distressed when they look at them.

How to write on your resume before and how to say goodbye to "nonsense" and "can't write"? As mentioned in this article, when writing a resume, you must use verbs+specific work content+methods+results to describe your experience, and English resumes should be written in formulas.

1 Don't summarize yourself.

This self-summary is similar to the self-evaluation written at the beginning of a resume. Many people like to add a "summary" after what they have done, or go straight to self-summary without writing anything, similar to:

"I learned the operation of xx"

"Let me exercise xx ability"

"Let me improve the level of xx."

Please note that verbs are not used to add self-summary, what products have been developed, not what your abilities are.

Self-summary won't make HR really think you have this ability. This is an unconvincing description. Your ability should be expressed from verb+result.

For example:

Cultivate the ability to collect and obtain information and stimulate the ability to complete research reports.

Remove the self-evaluation in this sentence and write clearly the specific work content, and it will become like this:

Complete the 6 1 page x industry research report independently by obtaining the necessary information from various channels including WIND, annual reports of listed companies and issuer rating reports.

You can clearly see what kind of report you have made and clearly know what tools you will use.

Compared with self-summary description, it is difficult to judge your true ability without specific information, and it is easy to be swept away by HR who quickly screens resumes.

So remember to use the super resume formula when describing, leave the evaluation to the interviewer, just say what you have done, and show your ability to the recruiter with what you have actually done.

Use accurate verbs and tenses.

Looking at an English resume, in fact, you can basically judge whether an applicant is professional from verbs. Remember the usage rules of these three verbs:

1. Each description should start with a verb.

Try not to use the same verb more than three times at the beginning.

Use the past tense

Don't write complete sentences in your English resume. Every paragraph begins with a verb. Needless to say, this basic point is known to all students who write English resumes.

But many students will repeat the same verb at the beginning, like this:

Too many repetitive verbs will make your vocabulary too small and your good work experience will be reduced.

The project written on the resume is suggested to be segmented according to different job types, so the job description of each segment should reflect different job content and different emphasis, and can be described by different verbs.

When you create a resume and fill in the description in the super resume, this library will pop up automatically.

The question of which verb to use has been solved, and the next question is how to use it.

What you need to know is that your resume introduces what you have done and achieved, so all descriptions are in the past tense.

Many people will struggle with what they are still doing, whether to use the present tense or not.

Remember the resume formula?

Remember, writing a resume is definitely not just about your job. That's called a job description. Besides action, try to describe what you have achieved, that is, what you have achieved.

So even if you are still doing this job, the description should be like this:

What has been done?

What tools have you used?

What achievements have been made?

When all verbs are used to write a resume, don't mix them.

Don't directly translate Chinese resumes.

Really don't use translation software to directly translate your Chinese resume. You should know how terrible the result is, right? You might as well rewrite it yourself if you change it after translation.

English resume is suggested to be written directly in English template. Words that cannot be used in the middle can be looked up by translation software, but never, never, translate the whole paragraph.

4 Correct use of keywords

Here comes the key, key words!

Maybe some students don't know that many foreign companies and large companies will use ATS (Application Tracking System) to read the resume content by machine, so as to quickly screen candidates by keywords. Following the style of professional resume template is the easiest way to read the whole content, but many resumes with design style are simply unreadable. As a result, you turned off your phone and died. No one read your resume at all. (spread out his hands)

In fact, there is not much difference in the methods of selecting resumes among companies that do not use systematic screening. Generally, HR screens resumes, but it is the business side that recruits people. How can HR help the business side quickly screen out the right candidates and push them to the business side for trial? Just look at the keywords!

Keywords can be simply divided into:

Related background, such as: graduate degree or above, X school is preferred, and I have worked in X company.

Work skills related, such as: originality, data analysis ability, good at using Excel.

You can't change the background related conditions, just write it clearly.

In addition to the strict background requirements of some companies/positions, it is more important for most positions to see whether your work skills meet the requirements of the employer.

Then the first question is coming. Where can I find keywords?

It's in the recruitment requirements of the position you are applying for!

Here is a suggestion by the way, especially for those students who don't know how to start writing English resumes. The first step is to directly look at the recruitment requirements of the position.

General recruitment needs are long like this:

It can be seen that it mainly includes three parts: job responsibilities, job requirements, company and business introduction. If there is a job with a similar job description, previous experience can be applied.

Job requirements:

Therefore, candidates are required to multitask, have good interpersonal relationships, be able to work independently, have strategic thinking, know how to do project management and be able to communicate with customers. Then you should add more keywords in these areas to your resume, such as:

Multi-tasking: Complete multiple projects within the deadline. ...

Interpersonal skills: building relationships with teammates ...

Strategic thinking: Put forward suggestions based on the strategic analysis of the following aspects. ...

Independent: Work independently ...

Project management: manage the project based on the following aspects ...

Customer relationship: maintain customer relationship. ...

So when you don't know how to write on your resume, you can actually know exactly where this description needs to start by referring to the job requirements, and then write your previous experience into your resume through certain wording optimization and packaging.

In addition to analyzing the recruitment requirements of the applied position, you can also look at the same positions in other companies as a reference, which will also help you find keywords!
