Resumes are particularly important for employment in the United States. If your resume is well written, the HR of the other person will also be kept. If your background happens to be urgently needed by the other party, you may be called for an interview soon. Due to different national conditions and habits, English resumes and Chinese resumes are usually different in the following aspects:

? 1. The embodiment of personal privacy

English resumes usually do not reflect some personal privacy information, such as: date of birth, gender, marital status, salary and so on. This is because American companies cannot discriminate against candidates based on age, gender or race. If this happens, the business owner will be sued by the candidate. Domestic resumes are required to indicate this information, and some even fill in height, weight and expected salary. If such personal privacy appears in an English resume, the employer will think that you don't understand American culture.

2. Length and format

English resumes are generally short, and one page is the standard length. Of course, if your personal experience is very rich, it is not impossible to exceed one page, but for students who have just left campus, one page is often the best length. Chinese resumes can often be made into two pages. You can compare the formats of these two resumes, and you can see that English resumes attach great importance to experience, while Chinese resumes attach more importance to academic qualifications.

? 3. Education and experience list order

When applying for a job in the United States, if you are employed, the experience in your resume should be written before your education, while for students, your education should be written before your experience. English resumes are generally listed in flashback, with recent education and work experience at the forefront, and schools or internship units are capitalized in bold, which is convenient for recruiters to quickly identify your education and experience. If the examinee is studying, it is better to start with the examinee, which is more rigorous. Time can be listed on the left or right, such as 2007 to the present.

Graduates are puzzled and feel that they have little work experience, can't write anything, and the page is not full enough. Here are some ways to make up for it:

Social work details can make up for the lack of work experience by putting them in work experience. For example, as a member of a student organization, you can list all the activities you organize and participate in. If you only do one thing, you can try to write it separately, such as how many people you have led, what tasks you have completed, what roles you have played, etc. , so that the content looks richer, but remember to follow the simplicity of the description.

If you get a scholarship on campus, fill in the scholarship on your resume. Many students have it every year, which seems to give people the feeling of excellent academic performance.
