Resume is one of the important materials for job hunting. The main content is to introduce your basic situation, such as study, life, work experience, personal achievements, specialties and so on. Usually attached to the cover letter, the purpose is to let the other person know more about you and help you get an interview. I. Main contents of resume 1. Resume types commonly used resumes are generally divided into two categories: (1) Text-based resumes describe their experiences in words, such as personal basic information, work done, achievements obtained, awards won, etc. The traditional way of writing is to list one's study and work experience in chronological order, or to list some of one's experiences selectively according to needs, so as to fully display one's skills and talents. The advantage of a written resume is that it is convenient to introduce your relevant information in detail. This resume is suitable for situations with complicated experiences and many questions to explain. (2) tabular resume It introduces personal information in a column in the form of a table. Concise and clear, clear at a glance, is what most college students like to adopt. Especially the tabular resume after computer word processing is very standardized and beautiful. No matter what format you use to write your resume, you should include the following four basic personal information: (1) name, gender, nationality, date of birth, political outlook, native place, school, department, major, degree obtained, etc. (2) Briefly describe your study and work experience, mainly introduce the main courses and achievements of various subjects you took during your college years (the achievements should be stamped with the official seal of the school's educational administration department or college or department as proof), as well as your distinctive social practice activities or part-time experience. (3) Focus on the evidence or experience about one's own abilities, such as the positions held in schools and classes, various awards and honors won during school, personal hobbies, specialties and suitable jobs. You can list other qualifications you have obtained, such as CET-4 and CET-6 certificates, computer grade certificates, and automobile driving licenses. (3) Can list relevant information representing one's own abilities, such as published books, published articles, social practice papers, various achievements, patents, honorary certificates, qualification certificates, etc. This is the fist product in your resume, you'd better bring the original or copy of the relevant samples. (4) You can list the works that you have creatively designed or cooperated in social practice activities, and explain them in detail. (4) Briefly describe your wishes and purpose of work (5) Write down your mailing address, telephone number, zip code, etc. (such as website, telex, pager, mobile phone) 2. The difference between resume and cover letter There is a difference between cover letter and resume. Some students often use resumes instead of cover letters, which is not rigorous enough. They are independent of each other and cannot replace each other; They are closely related and cannot be confused. 1. Different writing formats First of all, different titles. A cover letter, like a written letter, belongs to the category of letters. Its title is "cover letter" or "cover letter", or simply omit the title and write directly in the form of ordinary letters. The title of a resume is very simple, and it is called "resume" or "personal resume". Second, the appellation is different. There should be a title at the beginning of the cover letter, such as the respected leader, the person in charge of a certain unit, etc. There should be obvious differences between the titles of different recipients. You don't need to write an address on your resume. Under the heading, just fill in your personal experience and achievements directly. 2. The content is different (1). The cover letter mainly expounds the desire, reasons and conditions of applying for a job, and strives to show that his achievements are qualified for a certain type of work; Your skills and specialties are suitable for this kind of work, and your achievements and rewards prove that you have potential. Resume mainly shows your qualifications, which is a more detailed description of the job requirements mentioned in the cover letter. (2) Resume can also be said to be the attachment of the cover letter, which is the supplement and supporting material of the cover letter. A good resume can often make the finishing point and add icing on the cake. (3) The cover letter and resume are two indispensable parts in the recommendation materials. The cover letter is in front and the resume is attached at the back, which can play a three-dimensional role in showing yourself. If there is only a cover letter without a resume, the employer will feel that they don't know enough about you; If you only have a resume and no cover letter, employers will feel unclear about which aspect of you is more suitable for them. Therefore, the cover letter and resume complement each other. Third, the problems that should be paid attention to when writing a resume 1. The most important and basic requirement for a resume to be authentic is authenticity. Honest records and descriptions can make readers feel trust in you first, and the most basic requirement of employers for job seekers is honesty. (1) Resume must not be fraudulent, fabricate facts or elevate social status. You know, getting an interview is not the ultimate goal, but getting a job. If you are caught by the other party for a while, you will lose your job opportunities and lose your personality. Even if you were looking for a job at that time, when the employer looked up your file, it was possible to be returned to school. (2) Pay special attention when writing a resume: ① You can't leave out a certain experience, which will lead to incoherent resume; (2) Don't cheat on work performance; (3) Don't exaggerate or hype the description on your resume, which will make others dislike you. Therefore, it is better to be honest than to work hard. As long as there is real talent and practical learning, there will always be opportunities of their own. 2. Your resume should be comprehensive. The function of a resume is to let a stranger know your basic situation in a short time, just like a story outline, and attract them to continue reading. So pay special attention to the completeness and comprehensiveness of the content, so that the other party can leave you as comprehensive an impression as possible. 3. Your resume should be concise. Recruiters face a large number of job resumes every day. Generally, the first rough reading screening, each resume takes no more than one minute. If you write for a long time, readers will be impatient and will inevitably miss some content, which is very unfavorable to job seekers. Some people think that the longer the resume, the better, which is easy to attract attention. In fact, this only dilutes the reader's impression of the main content, which is counterproductive. Too long a resume not only makes people feel that you are wasting his time, but also makes people feel that you are incompetent. 4. Pay attention to the above-mentioned comprehensiveness, regardless of primary and secondary, and skillfully highlight your own advantages according to the requirements of enterprises and positions, leaving a deep impression on people. The advantage part is the crowning touch of the whole resume, and it is also the place that can best express personality. Be thoughtful, unconventional, well-founded and persuasive. Do it yourself Some graduates lack self-confidence and think that it is a good resume to ask professionals engaged in employment guidance to write for themselves. In fact, resumes written by professionals have rich commonalities but insufficient individuality, and the place where resumes can impress people lies in individuality. If your resume is not written by yourself and some contents or wording are unfamiliar, the recruiter will make mistakes when asking questions about your resume, which will lead to the failure of the interview. (1) After your resume is written, you can ask experienced teachers and classmates to revise it and give you advice. (2) The length of the resume should be reasonable, the layout should be appropriate, the structure should be clear, the logic should be strict, and the writing should be smooth. The expression in your resume should not be too conceited or too modest, and the purpose of applying for a job should be clearly written. It's best to print out your resume, and you can copy it for use. (3) The resume should be carefully selected with bareheaded or full-length photos, clear, soft, cordial and undistorted. In short, because everyone's life and work experience are different, the content of personal resume will also change greatly, and everyone has their own choices. The purpose is to show more of their own advantages and less of their own shortcomings, so as to attract the attention of employers' decision makers to a greater extent and get a satisfactory job.
