與時俱進 2016年應該這樣寫簡歷

“In today’s job market, your resume needs to immediately stand out,” says Dawn Bugni, a professional resume writer in Wilmington, N.C. Attention spans are at an all-time short, with hiring managers spending just six seconds looking at a resume before deciding whether the applicant is worth further consideration, a recent study by TheLadders found. (That’s if a human looks at it at all; before your application even reaches a hiring manager, it usually has to make it past an automated applicant tracking system.)

“如今人才競爭激烈，簡歷要有特點才能獲得關(guān)注。”美國北卡羅來納州威爾明頓市的撰寫簡歷專家道恩•布尼表示。美國知名求職招聘網(wǎng)站TheLadders最近的一項研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，人們集中注意力的時間越發(fā)短暫，招聘的人事經(jīng)理只看簡歷六秒鐘就已經(jīng)完成第一輪篩選。(能走到人工篩選階段的簡歷才能有這樣的待遇，在到達人事經(jīng)理這一步前，簡歷篩選系統(tǒng)已經(jīng)過濾過一道。)

As hiring continues to increase, job seekers will face stiff competition this year. Follow the tips below to make your resume shine in 2016.

由于招聘需求持續(xù)增加，今年求職者面臨的競爭只會更激烈。看看下面的訣竅，今年讓簡歷大放光彩吧。

1. Enhance your contact information.

1、突出你的聯(lián)系方式

2. Make the page “pop.”

2、讓頁面“時髦”起來

Depending on the industry, you can distinguish your resume by punching up the design, but exercise caution: a graphic artist, for example, has more creative leeway than an accountant. Enelow’s co-author Louise Kursmark recommends using color to make your resume unique. To stay professional, consider making only section headers blue, for example, and leaving the rest in black, Kursmark suggests. And replace the outdated Times New Roman with a more modern font such as Cambria, Calibri, or Georgia, Enelow says. (As standard typefaces, they translate well between operating systems.)

根據(jù)不同行業(yè)的特點，可以通過強化設計感讓簡歷出彩，但這招要慎用：比方說平面設計師的簡歷比會計的簡歷有更多的創(chuàng)意空間。與伊尼羅合著的作者路易斯•克斯馬克建議，用不同的顏色讓簡歷與眾不同。他認為，要凸顯職業(yè)感，可以考慮只在抬頭部分用藍色字體，其他內(nèi)容的字體還都是黑色。伊尼羅則是建議，不妨用Cambria、Calibri或者Georgia等更常用的字體，而不是老氣橫秋的Times New Roman。(這些都是標準字體，各種操作系統(tǒng)都能兼容。)

3. Ditch the objective statement…

3、刪除有關(guān)職業(yè)目標的內(nèi)容……

Today’s hiring managers aren’t concerned with what is it you’re looking for—they’re focused on finding the right hire. Thus, “the objective statement has become obsolete,” says Tiffani Murray, an HR professional and resume writer at Atlanta-based Personality On a Page. …and lead with a summary. To capture the hiring manager’s attention, start your resume with a short professional synopsis that states your years of experience, job history, and big career achievements. Instead of labeling the section a “summary,” use the header to highlight your area of expertise, says Enelow.

如今的人事經(jīng)理不關(guān)心求職者的目標——他們只想招到合適的人。美國亞特蘭大職業(yè)寫作服務平臺Personality On a Page的一位簡歷寫手、人力資源專家蒂凡尼•穆雷說：“職業(yè)目標陳述已經(jīng)過時了。” 用一段摘要開頭。為了吸引人事經(jīng)理注意，簡歷開頭寫上一段簡短的職業(yè)簡介，闡明從業(yè)經(jīng)驗、過往工作和比較突出的成就。伊尼羅還說，不要簡單地在這部分內(nèi)容前面寫上“摘要”，頁眉位置放上醒目的文字突出精通的領(lǐng)域。

4. Guide the reader’s eye.

4、抓住讀者的目光

The Internet has changed reading behavior, says Kursmark: “People don’t read top to bottom anymore. They’re constantly skimming and looking at different parts of the page, and if you don’t structure your resume to appeal to that, a lot of good material will get overlooked.” Therefore, use bolded text to ensure your achievements stand out.

克斯馬克說，互聯(lián)網(wǎng)改變了人們的閱讀習慣，“人們不再從頭讀到尾，而是快速瀏覽，在各部分停留一會，如果你的簡歷沒根據(jù)瀏覽習慣突出重點吸引眼球，很多關(guān)鍵信息可能會被忽視。”所以，過往成就的內(nèi)容務必加粗，確保招聘人員能看到。

5. Beat the robots.

5、通過簡歷系統(tǒng)篩選

Many medium and large companies use software to weed out candidates. Your resume will need the right keywords to get through, so mirror the language of the job posting, advises Bugni, and pay attention to detail. “Changing something as simple as ‘customer service’ to ‘client relations’ can get your resume approved or rejected,” she says.

許多大中型企業(yè)都在用篩選軟件過濾簡歷。布尼建議，要通過篩選，你的簡歷需要有合適的關(guān)鍵詞，所以多用招聘職位里提到的內(nèi)容，尤其注意細節(jié)。她舉例說：“有時只要稍微改變一點，比‘客戶服務’與‘客戶關(guān)系’兩字之差，用對了簡歷就能通過，否則就被拒絕。”

6. Forgo a “skills” section.

6、放棄“技能”內(nèi)容

Weave your talents into your work experience. “Employers are looking for more than a list of skills,” says Murray. “They want to know how you’ve applied them.” The exception: It’s beneficial to have a designated section when applying for a skills-based job that requires specific qualifications, such as an IT specialist.

將你的才華融入工作經(jīng)歷內(nèi)容中。“招聘方并不僅僅想看技能的羅列，” 穆雷說，“他們更希望了解你怎樣運用在實際中。”不過也有例外：申請有特定資質(zhì)要求的技能型工作時，比如信息技術(shù)專家，最好在簡歷里專門劃出一塊列出已掌握的技能。

7. Maximize your real estate.

7、盡量全面說明真實履歷

Despite what you may have heard, you don’t necessarily need to limit your resume to one page. “A resume is as long as it needs to be to convey value. And not one word more,” says Bugni. That said, a two-page resume may be appropriate for someone with 30 years’ experience—not for a recent college graduate. To conserve space use bullet points, active verbs, and industry-specific acronyms, and don’t state the obvious (e.g., including “references available upon request”).

你可能聽說過要控制簡歷的篇幅，但也不必拘泥于一頁。布尼說：“簡歷的長短主要看關(guān)鍵信息多少，不相關(guān)的話一個字都是多余。”換言之，如果求職者有30年工作經(jīng)歷，而不是剛畢業(yè)的大學生，可能兩頁的簡歷更合適。為了節(jié)省篇幅，簡歷應該盡量用重點符號、主動語態(tài)的動詞和行業(yè)專用的縮略語，廢話盡量少說(比如加一句“如有需要，可提供背景調(diào)查信息。”)。
