(1) targeted principle

If you submit the same resume for different industries, different companies and different positions, what such a resume lacks is pertinence. Please think about it. If a girl receives a love letter that seems irrelevant to her, do you think she will seriously consider it?

If company A requires you to have relevant industry experience and good sales performance, you clearly state relevant experiences and facts in your resume and put them in a prominent position, which is pertinence; If company B requires you to have good spoken English, you describe your experience as an amateur foreign-related business translator in your resume, which is pertinence; If Company C explicitly requires candidates to have five-city registered permanent residence in Chengdu, you should indicate in your resume that you are a resident of Jinjiang District in Chengdu, so as to be targeted.

It is not only a resume, but also a very important principle when writing cover letters, follow-up letters and thank-you letters.

(2) the principle of clarity

The purpose of clarity is to facilitate reading. Just like making print advertisements, resume typesetting needs to consider factors such as font size, spacing between lines and paragraphs, and the prominence of key content.

Many resumes are in the form of tables, which Xibo thinks is inappropriate.

(3) the principle of objectivity

I am a serious and responsible person, and I have performed well in my past work experience. You can often see similar sentences in many people's resumes.

Maybe you are right, but a rational personnel manager has no reason to believe your subjective confession.

Therefore, your resume should provide objective facts and data that can prove or prove your qualifications and abilities. For example, "200 1 year won the first prize of the company's sales performance" or "showed good coordination and organization ability in a promotion activity and was praised by the competent manager". Although the latter example lacks objectivity, it is praised by others after all.

In order to be as objective as possible, your resume should even avoid using the first person-"I".

(4) Ten-second principle

Generally speaking, the length of resume is limited to a piece of A4 paper; The longer the resume, the less likely it is to be read carefully. Senior talents can prepare more than two pages of resumes at a time, but it is also necessary to have a concise and clear summary of qualifications at the beginning of the resume, so that readers can grasp the basic situation in a short time and have the desire to read further carefully.

When your resume is finished, weigh whether you can read all the contents you think are important in ten seconds.

(5) the principle of authenticity

Don't try to fabricate your work experience or achievements. Lies won't get you too far. Most lies will be caught in the interview process, not to mention that many large companies (especially foreign companies) will conduct background checks based on resumes and related materials before offering OFFER.

However, authenticity does not mean telling the whole story of our shortcomings and regrets. Xibo thinks it is very necessary to hide or even use some words properly and convenient typesetting skills. After all, we need to constantly improve ourselves in the next work.

2. Taboo:

(1) Resume modification.

Don't use cheap and rough paper to save money. Check typography, grammatical errors, and even water and coffee stains. When using word processing software, use the spelling checker and ask your friends to check the mistakes you may have overlooked.

(2) Character size.

You need two pages to complete your resume. Please show your experience and achievements clearly and completely. Don't compress the layout, and don't shrink the font to the extent that others are difficult to read.

What have you been doing recently?

Don't simply show every position you hold. The HR manager is most interested in your past 10 experience, so please focus on the recent and most relevant work experience.

(4) determine the goal.

Submit your resume one by one according to the company recruitment advertisement in the Sunday newspaper. Don't send resumes. If your qualifications are far from the job requirements, read the advertisement carefully and decide whether you have the right qualifications before sending it.

(5) Please do not send attachments.

When you send your resume, don't send a copy of your academic report card, recommendation letter or award certificate together unless you are specifically asked. If you get an interview, you can take these materials with you.

(6) true.

Don't make up dates or titles to blind you to the fact that you have lost your job, or that you change jobs frequently or that you are in a lower position. If your prospective employer does a background check and finds that you are lying, say goodbye to your job!

(7) State your talents.

If you lack the work experience required for the job you are looking for, don't use time expression in your resume.

(8) Introduce your advantages.

Don't simply copy the terms describing the nature of work in the company's personnel manual. In order to show that you have an advantage over other competitors, you don't need to simply list your job responsibilities, list your special contributions, the percentage of growth, the number of customers you have increased, the awards you have won, etc.

(9) Don't use any excuses.

Don't put your reasons for leaving every job on your resume, such as "the company was sold", "the boss is an idiot" or "asking for a high salary"
