Time flies, and we have to face the challenge of finding a job again. Is it time to write a resume? Do you really know how to write a resume? The following is how to write the email I collected to send you a resume. I hope it will help you.
In the past two months, due to my work, I should have read more than 1000 job resumes (all of which were received by mail). Among these resumes, I like them very much, and I want to delete them at first sight. Below, I will summarize some problems existing in these resumes first, and then put forward some opinions.
Existing problems:
1, the mailbox is not named correctly.
For example, if you have a resume, you will name your email as "almost" or "whatever".
2. The email title is inappropriate.
For example, the subject of the email is "job hunting", "application", "resume for application", "resume of XX University", "XXX major in XX" and so on.
3. There is nothing in the email body.
For example, in addition to some advertisements, "Yahoo Mail, Lifelong Partner!" , "He Jinshan's lowest price in the history of drug tyrants listed in 25 yuan for half a year", there is no statement from any job seeker in the article.
4. There is no title in the body of the email, or there is no suitable title.
Such as "hello", "hello", "respected school leaders" and "respected leaders"
5. The body of the email is accounts payable, which is added at will.
For example, "My resume is attached, please check it!" "I wish the teacher a smooth job!" "Please check my resume and wish you a happy job!" "My resume is attached, please check it" and so on.
6. The body of the email is not wrapped.
For example, you have to drag a long sentence for a long time to finish, and then drag it back to see the beginning of the next paragraph.
7. There is no signature in the body of the email.
For example, many resumes have learned some cover letters, but they often miss their signatures and forget to write their names and time.
8. There is nothing new in the body of the email.
Many students just use a unified template and copy it directly into the email body by copying and pasting. Even some words are unchanged, such as "Dear Company Leader", "Your Company" and so on.
9. The name of the attachment is not good enough.
For example, many resumes are named Resume, Work Resume, Personal Profile, New Microsoft Word, Resume 2008, Perfect Edition, Latest Edition, My Resume, Work Resume _88, 2007. 1 1。 15 ","official resume "and so on.
10, send resume cover and resume certificate as several attachments or a compressed package.
We mentioned the problem of online application 10, and some people may ask, "You said that the previous 10 was a problem. What is your basis? How should we avoid these problems? " Below, I'd like to share some experiences in my work with you, hoping to give you some reference.
1. When you open your email, what is your first concern?
First of all, who sent you this email and what is its theme? If so, what would you think if a stranger was named "almost" or "indifferent"? What do you think when you see headlines like "job hunting" or "application"? Imagine that you have received hundreds of resumes for several positions. If you are an examiner, do you know which position and department it wants to apply for? The answer is clear.
At this point, how do you judge this email? Is the first impression of the other party's mail here damaged? In real life, we will emphasize the first impression of interpersonal communication. Everyone looking for a job will spend a lot of money on a suit and a beautiful resume. The purpose is to leave a good first impression on the examiner, because everyone has a recognized truth that "the first impression sometimes determines one's judgment on another." At this point, I don't think I need to emphasize what the first impression of online voting is.
suggestion
1, modify the Chinese name of the mailbox to avoid similar words in front. Of course, it is best to name the mailbox "my own name", such as "Li Shimin" and "Zeng Guofan".
2, clearly indicate the job, appropriate to add some important information. What is important information? Generally speaking, important information is information that meets the recruitment requirements of the other party.
For example, the major required by the other party is logistics, and the word "logistics" is important information; If your school's major meets the requirements, and your school ranks higher in the country or is very famous in a certain area, then "university name" is important information; What the other party asks for is previous or recent graduates who can be employed immediately, and the words "ready to be employed" are important information; Others and so on.
Therefore, the better titles should be "XX University XX major applies for XX post", "XX post -XX University XX major", "XX major ready for employment-applying for XX post" and so on.
2. What do you care most about in the text?
If there is no problem in the first two points, you open the mailbox. At this moment, what jumped into your eyes? Is it the body of the email? So: What would you think if the text was blank? If it's not blank, it's just a few big "resumes attached, please check". What do you think? How do you feel if the words are there, directly "hello" or calling you "Dear school leader (you are a business person)"?
suggestion
1, write the people in the recruitment information on your head (remember, leaders generally don't accept resumes directly! It is often the staff who receive resumes, so it is the best way to fill in the avatar according to the contact person of the recruitment information. If there is no person in the recruitment information, you can use "Dear Lady/Sir" instead.
Don't mistake the names of companies and universities. If you think it is troublesome to change your name every time you submit your resume, or you are afraid that you will sometimes forget to modify it, then I suggest that you don't use the words "your company", "your school" and "your college", and you can use a neutral "your company".
3, the text content must be written, and it must be written in a targeted manner. What does it mean to be targeted? Then, I have to ask you, "What does the other party want in the recruitment information?" Will the recruitment information include "fresh graduates of XX related majors", "student cadres are preferred", "good team spirit" and so on?
Then, it's very simple. Your body can take these application requirements as questions and answer them in the body of the email in the form of 1, 2, 3 (please answer them yourself without giving examples).
Of course, there are some very important information before writing these contents, as well as those pleasantries, such as "Hello!" I have obtained your correction through XX channel, recruiting XX personnel ... I am here to apply for this position, the main reasons are as follows.
4. Control the number of words in the text. Generally speaking, the person who chooses a resume will not stay in the body of the email for too long, so the body of the email should not be too long or too short, because it is very important for the person who chooses a resume to open your resume in what mood after reading the body of the email.
Personally, it is a standard to express clearly in the most concise way. Of course, from the perspective of job seekers, I feel that everything I have is to be expressed to the examiner, so I have a lot to express. Actually, it is not. As mentioned in the third point, answer some key questions and tell some important information, such as your name, university name, your major, the degree you have obtained or will obtain, the graduation date (don't just write the year, it is better to be specific to the month, such as June 2008) and so on.
It is suggested that in the body part, the number of words should be "under the reading condition of normal email interface, you can finish reading this body without dragging the scroll bar".
5. add some blessings. A word of blessing does not necessarily affect others' evaluation of you. But if you add it, the text will be perfect.
6. Remember to sign.
Third, after reading the text, should I read the attachment of the email?
When someone sends you an attachment, do you pay attention to the name of the attachment? Can you see how many of its attachments are the same? If you want to save these attachments, is it easier to have one attachment or two attachments? If you want to open it directly, is it better to open it with a compressed package or directly with an attachment?
suggestion
1, it is better to give the attachment a name. Different people may have different answers to what kind of attachment is named. But in my opinion, it may be more appropriate to use some standardized naming methods in the attachment, such as "xxx", "xx University -xxx", "xx Major -xxX", "Applying for XXX Position -xxX" and so on. This is to make it easier for examiners to save your resume in their folders without renaming it.
Maybe someone will say, "You are the one who chooses your resume, of course you will say so, because your workload will be reduced." I don't have to! "Yes, I am the person who chooses a resume. I really think so. What about other people who choose resumes? What would they think? As the saying goes, "details determine success or failure", some details are not well done, and others may not deny you, but do you know that the examiner cares about that detail?
2. Form all the materials into a word document. When reading resumes, some job seekers will send the cover, cover letter, resume and certificate as attachments (in the resumes I read, there are several emails with more than a dozen attachments). Seeing this, I will think, "Is this job seeker's office software very common? Otherwise, why not divide these contents that should belong to one document into several documents to store? " Or "this person may not have very strong management skills, otherwise how can a simple job resume be done badly?" .
So I suggest you combine the cover, cover letter, resume, certificate and other contents into one document. If not, please consult a better classmate in the next office.
3. Try not to send your resume in the form of compressed package. Let's do a simple calculation. The attachment is a compressed package. The procedure of opening a resume is: save the compressed package-minimize the window to the folder where the file is saved-save the file as the decompression package-open the folder of the compressed package-see the cover title, cover letter, resume, photos, certificates, etc. -Select one of them to open for reading (of course, the quickest way is to double-click the compressed package directly and select Open.
And if the resume is sent directly as an attachment, what is the open procedure? "Double-click to open" is enough. Through this comparison, I think everyone has a very clear answer.
4. Should the resume be pasted directly in the body of the email?
In the resumes I read, I have indeed encountered many situations in which resumes are pasted directly into the body of emails, and there are two kinds of attachments in these emails, namely, resumes are sent as attachments and there are no attachments.
In this regard, my attitude is: do not advocate or encourage this method. But if you like it, I suggest sending your resume as an attachment at the same time.
Finally, a word of caution: I suggest that you don't directly copy the template on the job website, which will give the examiner an impression that you are dealing with this position.
