How to write an English resume with work experience?

Business experience

First of all, it should be emphasized again that for people who are working, experience should be written before education, and for students, education should be put before experience.

1, time

1) Write the current work first and the time on the left, for example, write 1997- now. For details, please click on the sample resume of Harvard Business School. Besides, you should pay more attention to spelling. Don't write present as president, or you will be president now. How dare the boss hire you? This kind of fish can't be found by spelling check, so be very careful. We'll talk about this later.

2) For previous works, only write the year, such as 1993- 1995. This writing method is mainly suitable for the following three situations: First, the working hours are earlier; Two, working time for more than two years; The third is to extend working hours skillfully. For example, if you work for one company from 1997 12 to 1998 10, although there are only two.

Month, but written as 1997- 1998, it seems that the working hours are longer, and I am not lying.

3) Previous work, plus month, such as May 1998 or May 1998. This kind of writing will naturally appear more accurate and more in line with the taste of banking employers. Some people in China prefer to use 5, 1998 or1998,5. The former writing is rare, and it will only be used when it is really impossible to write. 1998,5 is pure Chinglish, which is totally unacceptable.

2. Company name

The company name should be capitalized and bold. If the full name is too complicated, you can write it simply. For example, ARRAIL chain investment company limited is best written as arrail.

The chain saw is simple and clear, and everyone can know which company it refers to at a glance.

The full names of some companies are often unknown, but the abbreviations are well known. For example, in China, not everyone knows what IBM is, but the name IBM is a household name. So in China, we suggest you write IBM, because many HR managers in foreign companies are from China, which is more pleasing to the eye and smoother. In America, people still write their full names.

3. Place names

The writing of place names is the same as the education part, as shown in the above picture.

4. Position and department

1) Start from the second line after the company name. If you want to introduce the company, the position and department should be written at the back of the company profile.

2) The position and department should be bold, and the first letter of each word should be capitalized, such as manager and finance department.

5. Company Profile

1) For new companies, small companies or companies in certain industries that the recruiting company is not familiar with, it is advisable to introduce one or two sentences to be on the safe side. Even those well-known enterprises in the industry are often not necessarily famous. Job seekers generally don't tailor a special resume for each company they apply for.

Resume), I may just want to jump into the industry at present, but I don't rule out the possibility of developing into other industries in the future. I might as well briefly introduce the company.

2) Some foreigners may not know much about companies in China, so they should introduce them. This is not to say that others are ignorant, but that they lack understanding of China. For example, you may be familiar with some big companies in America, Germany and Japan, but you may not know all the famous big companies in Canada, Russia, Australia, India and Brazil. Don't think that China's company is very big, so others will know. If you are not careful, you will become a frog in the well. For example, the Bank of China is called Bank of China (BOC). Many overseas banks know about China Bank, but many people mistakenly think that China Bank is the central bank of China. This concept has been confused for more than ten years and has not been completely corrected so far.

3) The length of the introduction should be two lines. Only one line is easy to mix with other content, and three or four lines are more complicated. In short, it should be just right, and people can see it at a glance.

6, work experience order

1), which is a very popular way.

2) Skills, mainly emphasizing your own skills, such as translation, computer, etc. If the recruiting company just needs a translator, this copy can be exactly what it wants. In addition, this method can also be used for people with time gaps in work experience, such as being laid off and taking maternity leave. According to the YRIS principle mentioned last week, employers often ignore the problem of time fault in just a few seconds. However, it should be noted that this method is not necessarily used as long as there is a time fault problem. Because this kind of writing is only suitable for skilled situations, others can refer to the method of writing only the year mentioned above to make up for it. If the fault lasts for two or three years, be sure to explain clearly, explain the exact reason and seek truth from facts. The more honest and frank you are, the better your impression will be.

3) Combine the two, first classify by skill category, and then list them one by one in reverse order.

7. Work function

1) Replace long paragraphs with bullets. China people tend to go to two extremes when writing resumes. First, it's too simple, only when you work, there is no specific content at all; Second, it's too complicated. It's a long description, and it's half a page, but people can't figure out why.

2) Punctuated sentences should be one line in length, with no more than two lines at most; The number of sentences is preferably three to five, with a maximum of eight. An American hiring manager once told me that you usually only pay attention to the first three sentences, and after eight sentences, you don't read 100%.

3) Point sentences begin with verbs. The present work uses the simple present tense, while the previous works used the past tense. In order to facilitate your resume writing, we have selected 148 common verbs from some resume books for your reference.

Testing. The following is a special introduction to the usage of popular words in two resumes. The market does not mean complete selling, it is more abundant than selling. Market can be a verb, that is, market can be followed by a noun. This kind of writing will make the work more managerial and classy. A noun should be added after Conduct, such as conducted research on something, where conduct is equivalent to do in Chinese.

4) Who comes first in major responsibilities and achievements? Some people think that the main responsibility should be put first, because others can know what you are doing at a glance. In fact, this kind of writing is more suitable for junior work and no groundbreaking work. If it is a higher-level or groundbreaking job, you should write the main performance first, because what others see is your work performance. So we can't judge who comes first.

5) Work results should be digital and accurate, and avoid using many, many, some and several vague words. Use the specific figures as much as possible, how many people are managed, how much sales are, and so on.

6) in the performance of the same company, it is not necessary to stick to the chronological order, but to uphold the principle of important priority. For example, the most important grades can be written in the grades first; You can write the highest position in the position first, and don't stick to the method of reverse order or positive order. The key is to let employers find your highest selling point in just a few seconds.

7) The training content can be placed behind each company. We believe that training is internal to the company and related to the company's business, not part of education.

8. Five Avoidances

1) Long sentences: No one wants to read too long sentences. Remember the YRIS principle, the employer is just scanning your resume.

2) Abbreviation: Because it is often difficult for laymen to understand. Don't take it for granted that this is a well-known thing. We talked about the principle of user-friendliness, so don't assume that others can guess or find the abbreviations you use.

3) Me (me): Because there are many sentences in a formal resume, starting with verbs, there is no me. Of course, if you must use it once or twice in the company profile, it is not completely impossible.

4) Disadvantages: We said that the principle of resume is not to lie, but not writing does not mean cheating. As you may remember, any sentence in the resume mentioned above may become a topic in the interview. I think everyone understands the principle of fostering strengths and avoiding weaknesses.

5) Reference materials available upon request: This phrase means that witnesses can be provided if evidence is needed. This often appears in many resume templates in Britain and Hong Kong, but don't write it in American resume.

Because in real life, recruiters think that anyone can grab one or two witnesses in case of emergency. And if their names and contact information are not written on the resume, this sentence is completely unnecessary.
