In order to highlight their English level, many graduates of related majors like to make bilingual resumes when applying for jobs. Different from the traditional resume, bilingual resume needs more words, formats and sentence patterns because it needs English translation. If you don't want to get yourself into trouble, be careful when writing a bilingual resume. Some ambiguous words, slang and long sentences should not appear as much as possible.

For many people, bilingual resumes are not difficult. Don't you just translate them into Chinese again? In fact, the opposite is true! Chinese is flexible and has many forms of expression. However, because English is unfamiliar, it is often influenced by vocabulary, and there will be loopholes in writing. If you can, I suggest you make more efforts to write the English part first, and then write Chinese content according to it.

Skills of making bilingual resumes

1, the language should be concise. Polysemy is common in both Chinese and English. Many times, a little carelessness will cause misunderstanding. Therefore, when making bilingual resumes, the choice of words must be concise and clear, and there can be no ambiguity.

2. Don't have long sentences. Resume is not the time to show off literary talent, and some fancy long sentences can be avoided as much as possible. Chinese is ok, but the English part may make a joke because of its unfamiliar grammar and sentence patterns, which is a bit of a loss. Whether your resume is bilingual or pure Chinese, you should show it to the interviewer. It's no problem to meet people with high English level. If you are ordinary and can't read what you write, you will suffer!

3. Try to follow the English resume style. The general style of China's resume is very casual. As long as the key content is expressed, other typesetting and section parts are arbitrary. English resumes are different. English resumes generally have a fixed style, and the requirements are strict at this point.

Matters needing attention in bilingual resume writing

1, resume need not be too luxurious. It's best not to make your resume too "different", just one or two pieces of paper that can explain the situation. Employers generally have an "image preset" for college students, and most of them prefer simple graduates, so if your resume is too fancy, it will leave a bad impression on employers.

2. Two pages of bilingual resume is enough. Just like a one-page resume in Chinese, the translated English part is only one page. State-owned enterprises, private enterprises and even foreign-funded enterprises need to put the Chinese part first and the English part behind, so the order must not be confused.

3. Use less function words and narrative language. In terms of language, China graduates have a common problem when writing English resumes: they like to use narrative language. Maybe they used to write English compositions when they took the CET-4 and CET-6. When describing themselves, they always write a long paragraph like a narrative, "first" and "idea". Instead of this, it is better to list them one by one, so that employers can see at a glance, because they will not read a resume for more than 30 seconds. Also, when you use career-related English, you must pay attention, otherwise the employer will think that you are not professional enough and look through the textbooks of professional English taught in universities. This problem should not be difficult to solve.
