The employer's desk is full of bundles of resumes. If you want to keep your resume from being overwhelmed, you really need to use your brains in making it. Our reporter Liu Xinzheng photo
Graduates' job hunting has entered a full-scale sprint stage, and graduates who are ready to enter the workplace lack job hunting experience.
There are often many immature aspects. In the process of fierce employment competition, how to become the "first-sight talent" in the eyes of employers requires a lot of practice by graduates.
Position yourself before applying for a job.
Jiang Aili, a career counselor at Beijing College Students' Employment Home, said that the positioning defect is an important reason why students get lost in the job search process. Many students came to the job fair and saw so many employers and jobs in a crowded environment, so they wanted to be charming for a while. Some students are attracted by the name of the employer, such as a group company; Some students are shocked by the title, such as account manager. In the case of little investigation, no matter what the real situation is, whether it is suitable or not, there are not a few students who only name their resumes. For these students, we should first make a career diagnosis for ourselves. Diagnoses don't have to be based entirely on their own specialties. They should re-enter the job fair on the basis of examining their real interests and abilities.
Do a resume to avoid fancy.
According to Zhao Yubin, the relevant person in charge of the Beijing Municipal Personnel Bureau, during his contact with employers, he found that many employers would directly eliminate beautifully packaged resumes. These employers think that an overly flashy resume is a sign of confidence to some extent. What they really value is what students' resumes contain.
In this regard, Jiang Aili, the employment guidance teacher of Beijing College Students' Employment Home, believes that the inability to do resumes is still the weakness of graduates in the job search process. Many graduates' resumes like to pile up adjectives, which leads to empty content; Too much hope to fully show yourself, leading to the advantages being overwhelmed, but giving the employer a feeling of "omniscient and rambling".
Continue diagnosis
Symptoms 1 have a serious conceptual tendency.
Most students like to use some empty words when describing their own personality and practical experience. For example, hard work and friendly interpersonal relationships are used in character description; When describing practical experience, I like to use certain project research and development capabilities. Several empty adjectives are piled together, which makes employers feel that students are actually very insecure and even false.
Prescription: Use specific examples to prove your character and ability. Take interpersonal friendship as an example. In the process of participating in community activities and tutor project development, it is best to simply express how to cooperate with others to overcome challenges and convince employers with reasonable evidence. In terms of practical experience, graduate students must emphasize the projects and papers they have participated in and describe the results. Only the names of projects and papers, without the description of achievements, are difficult to impress employers.
Symptom 2: The logical order is unclear.
Many students' resume columns are set repeatedly or the differences are not obvious, which easily leads to logical confusion in reading. Prescription: In the order of columns, graduates should follow the order of personal information, education, social experience and practical achievements. On the surface, the inversion of column order highlights personality, but actually ignores the reading habits of recruiters.
The third symptom is not prominent.
Students all know that practical experience can attract the attention of employers. But many graduate students have many practical directions. For example, students majoring in liberal arts have done both administrative work in the unit and copywriting planning in the publishing house. When describing their practical experience, most students didn't highlight the key points.
Prescription: according to your own interests, highlight your work experience in relevant positions. Students with rich practical content prepare several versions of resumes, each of which highlights a kind of work experience. Apply for different jobs and choose different versions of your resume.

Important information needs to be hidden.
Check the authenticity of the enterprise
When applying for a job, don't just submit your resume, choose a position that suits you and learn more about the company that submitted your resume. Job seekers visit some company websites to make inquiries according to their job hunting intentions. Once you find suitable recruitment information, you should contact the recruiting unit or organizer by telephone, letter, email, etc. Enter the real contact stage between supply and demand in time and as soon as possible.
