The most important thing about a resume is to be targeted. This pertinence has two meanings: first, the resume should be aimed at the company and position you are applying for; Second, your resume should be self-centered and write the highlights of your college life.
Before writing your resume, seriously reflect on your study, social work and life in college and write down the highlights. Such as excellent grades, scholarships or competition awards; For example, I have participated in the work of student unions and student clubs, where I have been internship, what activities I have organized, and what achievements I have made; For example, what meaningful things I did in college. Find out where you are different, and find out the achievements or practical activities that can reflect your good quality.
Then do some screening and modification according to the position and company you are applying for. For example, if you are applying for a technical job, the key point is to highlight your professional achievements, practical ability and team spirit. Resume should reflect your professional achievements, projects and achievements you have done, or papers published in professional journals; In addition, you can also take part in some social activities to show your team spirit. If you are applying for a sales job, the focus is on your communication skills, interpersonal skills and indomitable spirit. Your resume should reflect your achievements in social activities, your part-time jobs, and your achievements due to persistence and perseverance.
Second, the main content of the resume
HR usually pays attention to several contents when screening resumes: expectations of candidates; Achievements related to the qualities required by the company's recruitment positions, such as academic performance, social work experience, etc., as well as unique experiences that reflect personal excellent qualities; In addition, pay attention to academic qualifications, educational background, majors, and graduated universities; If an interview is needed, some basic information of the applicant is essential, such as name and contact information.
Therefore, a resume should at least include the following aspects:
1, position or job search hope;
2. Basic information: name, gender, contact information (mailing address and postal code, contact number, e-mail); You'd better leave your mobile phone and keep it on.
3. Education background: highest education, graduate school, major.
4. The performance, experience and achievements related to the quality of job requirements should be clearly written.
5. Finally, you can attach copies of relevant certification materials, such as scholarships, outstanding cadres, internship appraisal, professional qualification certificates, published papers, etc.
Third, the form of resume
The form should be neat and beautiful.
Generally don't need too much, the key is to highlight the key points. The above items 1-3 can only be written on 2 pages of A4 paper at most, and are usually printed in font No.5 or No.4. It doesn't matter whether the resume has a cover or not. Many HR don't want a cover and a plastic resume. It seems that it takes time to extract resumes.
The resume of a general position needs to be too fancy, and the key is to have content. For some special positions, such as design, public relations, planning, etc., the resume form can be unique and unique.
After talking about the key points, contents and forms of resumes, let's talk about a few resumes that HR doesn't want to read, so as not to write resumes:
1, an empty resume lacking facts and figures. Such as writing many strengths, being serious, diligent, team spirit, innovative spirit, strong adaptability and strong communication skills. These empty words are quite offensive to HR. Instead of writing this, write some facts and data about what you have done as a student, what activities you have organized, what achievements you have made, how many products you have sold part-time, and what scholarships you have won.
2, spent a lot of pen and ink to introduce schools and majors, listed professional courses without results, and rarely wrote individuals. This resume is only suitable for units that have never taken photos of college students. For the vast majority of enterprise HR, they are concerned about your personal characteristics and abilities.
3. Prose resume. Resume, like prose or narrative, looks laborious and can't find the key point. There are many poetic words and expressions of attitude, but few facts and figures are unclear.
4, beautifully bound but the content is nothing new. Maybe color printing and exquisite printing can make people look at a pile of resumes, but if the content can't meet the requirements, they should be thrown aside, making people feel that the applicant is not worthy of the name. Moreover, the cost of beautifully bound resumes is relatively high.
5, the same, vague copy. It makes people feel that they don't pay attention to the company and position they are applying for, and it is difficult for your resume to get the attention of HR.
Finally, first, having a simple and appropriate conversation with the interviewer when submitting your resume can increase your chances of getting an interview, and you should pay attention to having a simple conversation with the interviewer who received your resume. Second, even if your resume has not been screened, you can get an interview for the position you really want. Especially in sales and public relations. You can estimate the time for HR to hold an interview, call for an interview or go straight to the door to find an opportunity to meet the interviewer.
In short, the focus of your resume is to match your highlights with the job you are applying for. When writing a resume, don't forget that it is an important tool to show your characteristics and get an interview opportunity.
