Many people may think that although many large companies require to submit resumes in both Chinese and English, HR mostly comes from China, so as long as Chinese resumes are well written, English resumes are just a formality. However, HR of a foreign company told us that the Chinese and English resumes originally sent by a job seeker will follow the whole process of his job search, and maybe the first round of checks came from China. However, when it comes to the following rounds of interviews, the interviewer is likely to be a native English speaker. They may not communicate with previous interviewers, but judge completely based on your resume and your performance. At this time, if there are any mistakes in your English resume, your impression will be greatly discounted and the consequences may often become very serious.

From English resumes, companies can also see the English level of job seekers. If there are spelling mistakes in the resume, the employer will question the seriousness and English level of the job seeker. In addition to spelling mistakes, grammar mistakes are also common mistakes made by students, some of which are very obvious, exposing the poor English level of job seekers.

English resumes can also reflect job seekers' understanding and acceptance of foreign cultures. Many words or expressions are unique to China. HR perspective: foreigners absolutely can't understand it.

In the BBS pages of major job seekers, you often see something like "Is my resume in English?" "Is the interview in Chinese or English?" "Can I go to a foreign company if I can't pass the sixth grade?" "Do foreign companies recognize TOEFL scores?" I believe that the goal of job hunting is a foreign company's students should be deeply touched, right English is so important!

English has basically become an important threshold for foreign companies to screen. But what we are going to talk about today is not how to learn English, but how to show your English ability in your resume from the first step of job hunting.

When it comes to resumes, of course, it also includes the popular online application methods in enterprises. English language ability is a must. Being able to pass CET-4 and CET-6 is basically nothing new for foreign companies. Many students will simply write such a sentence on their resumes: "Pass CET-4 and CET-6", which is too thin, because what foreign companies value is not your English test ability, but your English application ability and communication ability.

How to fully express your English ability in your resume? Hill's resume expert gave you a few suggestions:

1 I have proved my English ability through comprehensive English tests except CET-4 and CET-6.

At present, many students also take TOEFL, TOEFL, GRE and Cambridge Business English exams.

TOEFL and GRE are the basic tests for admission to foreign universities, which can reflect your English ability from one side. Someone once said: As long as you have passed the TOEFL, you don't have to be afraid of any English exam.

Let's talk about the toeic exam again. Toe test is an English assessment system developed for * * institutions and large multinational enterprises, which is used to measure the communication ability of non-English-speaking people in daily working environment. It can be seen that the TOEIC exam is more targeted to job seekers. In the ongoing campus recruitment in 2008, many well-known enterprises, such as Motorola, Ericsson, Adobe, South Korea SK, Kimberly-Clark, China Southern Airlines and other companies, all put forward the requirement of filling in the TOEIC scores in their resumes, and the TOEIC test has become an English proficiency test recognized by employers. P&G's campus recruitment written test all uses TOEIC questions.

Don't use empty language to describe your English ability.

Many resumes will have such words: "Pass CET-4 and CET-6, and have good listening, speaking, reading and writing skills". If you think about it carefully, you will find that the latter sentence has no effect and has become a cliche. You need to express yourself honestly.

Look at this description again: CET-6, good at English writing, professional English translation ability, basic work communication. In this way, it feels more substantial and real.

Run your English ability through every link of your resume.

English ability is not limited to language ability. Many students have the experience of studying abroad, winning a place in an English contest or receiving foreign guests. Then in your practical experience, you can write down related events. Sometimes these experiences are more convincing than English exams.

For example:

practical experience

Volunteer of Beijing Forestry University International Exchange and Cooperation Office.

? Receive foreign guests from the United States, Spain, South Korea and other North African students, communicate in English all the time, and assist in the enrollment of international students in the new semester.

? Independent translation of "Beijing Forestry University International Student Apartment Management System"

I believe that no HR will doubt your English ability after reading this introduction.

The above tells you some methods, but English ability still needs to be accumulated for a long time, and only in this way can we show the real English level. In addition, you can know all kinds of English proficiency test questions earlier, and test and prove your English ability through the test. At the same time, remind everyone to pay attention to the English ability demand of the target enterprise as soon as possible, so as to be better prepared.
