First of all, some common questions and answers about resumes.

How do fresh graduates who have no work experience and internship experience write resumes?

I am a fresh graduate. I don't have any work experience or internship experience. I didn't take part in any activities at school. I have never been a class cadre. Even my social practice comes from the Internet. How to write a resume?

Answer:

The core of writing a resume is not how many internship experiences and awards you list. The key is to match the recruitment needs of enterprises. If your resume doesn't meet the requirements of the position you are applying for, then writing your resume is casting pearls before swine.

For example, if you are applying for the position of software engineer, you should have clear requirements for professional skills in the job description, and you should highlight your advantages in this respect according to the requirements of the other party. As for what literary competitions you have participated in at school, or what tutoring you have done, even if you have, it is recommended not to add them, which will only distract the enterprise HR from your professional advantages.

In a word, you should make it clear that the primary function of an excellent or successful resume is to make the readers have a strong desire to meet you, because the message you convey is that they have been looking for someone for a long time.

How to submit your resume online

I'm a senior, and it's time to find a job. It is said that it is convenient to find a job online. How to submit your resume online to find a job?

Answer:

The premise of submitting your resume online is that you have to register your resume online. There are many well-known talent websites in China, such as Worry-Free Future, Zhaopin.com and ChinaHR.com, as well as many local talent websites. You can choose a suitable talent website to register your resume according to your job intention. In fact, as long as you register a complete resume in a talent network, you only need to copy and paste it into other talent networks to complete a new resume. I just graduated to find a job, so I suggest to prepare more resumes of the talent network. Of course, in the process of writing a resume, there are also many skills to master. If your resume is well written, it can be searched by more enterprises.

When you have a perfect resume on the website, you can start searching for suitable positions and submit your resume online. There are many skills in submitting resumes online. For example, don't choose Saturday and Sunday to submit your resume; Don't blindly submit your resume; Don't send resumes with attachments; Wait a minute. Here are a few simple examples for your reference:

1. If you see the recruitment information of an enterprise on a talent website, please fill in your resume with the resume template of the website. Enterprise HR generally doesn't have time to read resumes in different formats, especially if your resume doesn't highlight your advantages.

2. It is suggested that the email title should be in the form of "Regional Sales Manager-Candidate's Resume * *, please read it", and the title of the applied position should be put in front, which is convenient for enterprise HR to classify the email.

3. Choose the right time to submit your resume. It is best not to submit your resume before holidays, from Friday to weekend. Because resumes during this period will often accumulate until the end of the enterprise HR holiday. At this time, the mailbox of enterprise HR will definitely be flooded with resumes, and the sooner you submit your resume, the later it will be.

Finally, I suggest you spend more time to study the requirements of enterprise recruitment positions and select some interested positions to submit resumes. For the positions you like, you may wish to call one by one after submitting your resume.

Second, the three steps to write a good resume

1, the first step is to define the work objectives.

No matter what major, there is more than one employment direction. Take environmental engineering as an example. The jobs suitable for me include environmental assessment, environmental engineering, environmental planning, environmental management, environmental testing and so on. Even water supply and drainage, chemical engineering and other jobs that are not the most "counterpart" to my major have the opportunity to apply. The specific destination can be design institutes, environmental protection bureaus and other institutions, professional and technical personnel of enterprises, or administrative personnel in the industry. In addition, professional sales staff is also a good choice.

It is not difficult to know where this major is going. You can consult your tutor or Baidu search. At the same time, we can determine a reasonable job-hunting goal by integrating personal achievements, personality, interests, specialties and other factors. According to the job-hunting objectives, search for relevant recruitment information, further analyze the recruitment needs of enterprises, and prepare for the next step of designing resumes.

There is a little digression here. Many students regard resume as a "panacea" and use it no matter what job they apply for. In fact, different "destination" jobs have different recruitment requirements. Take environmental engineering as an example. Obviously, professional technicians and salespeople are different, one focuses on professional level and the other on communication skills. Therefore, different resumes should be adjusted according to different "destinations", otherwise the chances of getting an interview will be reduced.

Step 2: Design your resume.

Resume text usually uses number four or small number four. Because most of them lack work experience, the resumes of recent graduates can usually be divided into five parts: basic information, main courses, certificate honor, school position and internship experience. In addition to "basic information", the other four parts can be adjusted in turn according to the recruitment requirements and my own advantages, and can be inverted like writing news, putting the advantages that the unit is most interested in at the front.

In "Basic Information", you must write your name, contact phone number and address, among which "contact phone number" is second only to "name", and it is better to be a number that can be contacted at any time. Other basic information, such as gender, postal code, e-mail, backup phone, date of birth (age), nationality, place of origin, political outlook, etc., can be written according to the recruitment requirements. If you put the main course in the second part, you can write "graduate school", "major" and "education" in the main course.

The "main courses" can be arranged in turn according to the recruitment requirements, without writing too much. Especially those that have nothing to do with the recruitment requirements are generally omitted.

"Certificate honor" includes computer, language proficiency, majors, minor and other certificates, as well as calligraphy, various activities and competitions, as well as honorary titles such as "Three Good Students", "Excellent party member" and "Advanced Molecular".

In the "on-campus post", it is best to introduce the activities organized, responsible or participated in during the post in a few words, so that the recruiting unit can understand the applicant's experience in organization and coordination.

The time of "internship experience" is too short, so it is not necessary to write "start and end date", but it is better to write clearly the internship content. For example, the use of tools/instruments, the specific work items you are responsible for/involved in, etc. Some students like to spend a lot of time introducing internship units or internship results in "internship experience". These can be exchanged as appropriate during the interview, and unnecessary words are not recommended in the resume.

Many students like to add "self-evaluation" to their resumes. As a summary of personal experience, "self-evaluation" can make the finishing point. However, we found that in the actual writing process, most students just mechanically copied excellent resumes and wrote whatever was "popular". Writing a resume lacks thinking and a resume lacks basis. In the end, it only ended up with the effect of gilding the lily. For example, "team spirit" is hard to find in many students' resumes. How is this "team spirit" cultivated? Similarly, there are "serious and responsible", "organizational ability", "leadership ability", "communication/communication ability" and so on. Limited by space, I won't give examples one by one. "Self-evaluation" can be written, but it must be realistic and well-founded. For students who are designing resumes for the first time, if they are not sure, it is better to write less.

3, the third step, check

This is a step that cannot be ignored. The contents of the inspection are mainly typos, whether there are sick sentences or uncommon words and phrases, whether the structure is beautiful, whether the font is uniform, whether the format is neat and so on. The principle of resume is to "introduce the experience of interest to the company in the most concise language". Usually a piece of A4 size paper is enough. Before submitting your resume, you'd better check it and adjust the content accordingly. Here, I would like to remind students who like to copy and paste that checking the copied and pasted things two or three times is the embodiment of your "serious responsibility".

Third, ten skills to write a good resume.

As mentioned above, before writing your resume, you should determine your goals. Know what kind of job you want and what kind of skills and experience you need to do this job well. After the goal is determined, you can organize the resume content around this goal. In fact, your resume must attract the attention of the hiring manager in a short time, otherwise it will be difficult to avoid being thrown into the trash can. Before writing your resume, take some time to conceive a clear goal. When you have a clear goal, you can start writing your resume. Now let's enter the step of writing a resume. Remember, a resume is a tool to get the job you want. You must sell yourself like a salesman and try to make a deal with the buyer. Therefore, you don't need to include all your details and every achievement in your resume. Try to keep your resume concise, because your purpose is to make your potential employers interested enough to contact you. You can put yourself in others' shoes. If you are a resume reader and you are looking for someone who is qualified to work for you, what aspects of those candidates will you pay attention to? Obviously, these are all things you should put in your resume.

1, using short sentences

In the body of your resume, it's better to use short sentences instead of long ones. Resumes are all scanned quickly, so be sure to highlight the key points. The information composed of short sentences can let readers know your situation quickly. Don't worry about not being specific enough, you will be asked to provide more details during the interview.

Step 2 Use behavioral verbs

Use some action verbs related to work, such as preparation, management, development, acquisition, mention, introduction, etc. These verbs can make your resume stand out. If your resume is submitted electronically, the computer will automatically recognize these words. Now some companies will let the computer scan your resume and select the resume that meets the standards. In fact, computers only do one thing-look for keywords that hiring managers think are important. These behavioral verbs are related to the job you are applying for, so if you don't have them on your resume, you will probably be judged as dissatisfied by the computer.

Step 3 speak with data

You should highlight your resume with more figures and percentages. Here are two concrete examples. As can be seen from the example, try to use specific data, but avoid verbosity.

Example 1:

Misrepresentation: accounting supervisor of advertising company.

Correct statement: Manage important capital accounts with annual amount of 15 exceeding150,000 USD.

Example 2:

Misexpression: selling small commodities to customers in the Midwest.

Correct statement: the turnover of Wuzhou increased 17%.

Step 4 emphasize your strengths

Try to emphasize your strengths and what potential employers value most. In fact, your resume has only 10-30 seconds to review, so try to put the most helpful sentences in a prominent position so that the most useful parts will be read first. Just like fishing, you should use the beginning of your resume as bait to hook readers, and then surround them with the rest of your resume.

5. Do what you want

It is also important to do what you like. I usually browse the jobs I am interested in on recruitment websites and newspaper recruitment pages. Every job advertisement usually has a brief introduction of the recruiting unit. Search for the keywords in those advertisements and try to show them in your resume. Opportunities are only reserved for those who are prepared. Making different resumes for different jobs can get more interview opportunities than the same resume, because targeted resumes can attract the attention of recruiters.

Step 6 show your positive side

The most important thing in your resume and interview is to show your positive side. Try to ignore those negative or irrelevant parts. If you think your graduation date will make you discriminated against by age, don't put it on your resume; If certain duties can't help you find a new job, don't include them in your current job. You should focus on information that will help you find a job, and ignore personal information that has nothing to do with your job, such as race, weight and height.

7. Leave blank on your resume.

It is very important to pay attention to blank space in resume design. Please open a newspaper and try to find out which advertisement can attract your attention the most. Are those dense text advertisements piled up, or are they blank advertisements, concise and clean? The answer is obvious. Readers are always attracted by the latter. Similarly, don't worry about your resume. On the contrary, you should leave more blanks.

8. Pay attention to typesetting

How long does it take to write a resume? What font should I use? Generally speaking, the font size should be less than 10. Try not to use illegible fonts. Standardized fonts can easily convert documents, such as from PC to MAC and from one document program to another. Resume length should be controlled at 1-2 pages. You can use more than one page of paper, but remember, keep it simple. More than two pages is actually unnecessary.

9. Listen to the opinions of third parties

Listen to your friends' opinions before submitting your resume. Show your friends your resume. As a party, it may be difficult for you to express the main points you want to express clearly. Letting others evaluate your resume objectively can help you understand the shortcomings of your resume-is my resume attractive? If not, why? Don't be satisfied with other people's compliments, encourage them to ask more questions. These questions can help you find out what you have overlooked in your resume. Carefully consider their opinions and make corresponding amendments. In addition to what you ignore, you can also find content that may bother readers.

10, apply for a position below your level.

Start submitting your resume. You're ready. Start looking for a job. When applying, you should find a job that meets your requirements and apply for a post below your level. Why? Maybe when you interview, you will find that this job is much more difficult than it looks. At the same time, because you can get more interview opportunities, you will have more opportunities to get surprises. Even if there is nothing, more and more interview experience can improve your interview skills. Just like anything else, repeated practice can reduce your tension and enhance your ability to solve problems.
