如何得到一份好简历 简历在找工作过程中是非常重要的MARKETING TOOL。它可以帮你获得宝贵的INTERVIEW机会。 根据本人的经验，我有以下建议。 1。至少读一本关于JOB SEARCHING的书或者参加类似的WORKSHOP。很多人不太以为然，找朋友帮帮忙，或者对照英汉字典自己写简历就往外发。结果肯定不如人意。建议至少花半个月时间于此。 2。建议找专业公司来写你的简历。你可以列出所有的工作经历，技能和任何你认为有助于找工作的信息。一并交给RESUME WRITER。让他们EVALUTE哪些放进RESUME，用什么样的表达方式。很多人以为只要没有SPELLING ERROR，GRAMMER ERROR就是好简历。其实不然。我试过很多次把写的东西交给LG看，他总是问我你到底想说什么，达到什么目的(他看不大懂我的英文, 尤其是工作经历,因为不熟悉BUSINESS TERMINOLOGY)。问清楚后才帮我改。改好的文字，我不得不服。VERY PERSUASIVE AND CONVINCING。这里有英语表达的问题，还有对WESTERN BUSINESS WORLD AND CULTURE的了解。后者与英语没有关系。所以饺子强烈推荐你在RESUME上投点资。 3。TRACK OF RECORD很重要。数字和项目比泛泛的叙述更有说服力。 4。TRANSFERABLE SKILLS。很多人陷入了没有本地工作经验的死循环。其实这时应该强调TRANSFERABLE SKILLS。没有绝对一样的两份工作。所以雇主看重的是TRANSFERABLE SKILLS。如LEADERSHIP，TEAMWORK，PROBLEM－SOLVING SKILL，SALES SKILL，ADAPTIBILTY，SELF－MOTIVATION，QUICK LEARNER，EUTHUSIASM，INTERPERSONAL SKILL， COMMUNICATION SKILL，BILINGUAL SKILL AND THE ETC。比如，你工作的TEAM只有两个人，你是TEAM LEADER也是很重要的。 同时不要忽略中国人求稳，不轻易变动工作，LOYAL，不介意起点工资略低也是雇主考虑的优势之一。 5。形式同样重要。排版后RESUME，要重点突出，层次清楚，美观。当雇主浏览众多RESUME时，花在第一页的时间平均只有15秒! 15秒决定是否看第二页还是扔到垃圾堆（或者不考虑的FILE里面）。所以你的第一关机会只有15秒。 6。SNAIL MAIL和FAX还是有EMAIL不能取代的优势。重要的职位传真和EMAIL我都会发。 7。写RESUME还有个更简洁的途径，即浏览招聘广告。用上面的REQUIREMENT来FINE TUNE你的RESUME。这样你就会用到正确的TERMINOLOGY。曾在论坛上看到找TECHNICAL MARKETING的职位，我没有听说过这样的词，我猜想可能是技术销售的意思。 8。重要职位应有COVER LETTER。利用COVER LETTER可以简练地强调你的QUALIFICATION是否符合这个职位的REQUIREMENT，同时说明你对该公司和该职位的重视，而不是天女散花地乱撒。 我在招聘员工时发现以下几个和RESUME相关的问题： 1。词语错误。F7只能检查拼写。但HEART和HEAR用F7是检查不出问题的。有些错误不仅难以理解，甚至可笑。相信与否，超过50％的RESUME都不是ERROR FREE 2。中文式的英语读起来不流畅。但不是致命的问题。很多雇主能理解应聘者不是NATIVE SPEAKER。不过你能改善这一项，也就比别人多了几分优势。 3。只有责任的描述，没有强调ACHIEVEMENT。这点很重要，你干过这项工作，不是给你OFFER的原因。雇主要确认你能有ACHIEVEMENT。数字更好。 4。提供了无关的信息，如性别，身高，体重，RACE，NATIONAL ORIGIN，年龄等。甚至还有照片。非常不专业，同时你会让RECRUITER有潜在的DISCRIMINATION的危险，一般这样的RESUME很少给INTERVIEW的机会。 5。排版很差。给人感觉不是DETAIL－ORIENTED。如果自己的RESUME都不TAKE CARE，让人怀疑是否能做好这份工作。 以上是我找工作和做RECRUITING的体会，希望你发现其中的某一条对你有用。

1，什么是CV，找什么类的工作用？ CV is used to apply for academic positions or high level positions. 2，用EMAIL方式发RESUME的时候，如果是作为邮件的附件的形式发过去的，那么在邮件的正文里应该写些什么呢？ You should put your key qualifications (summarized from your cover letter and resume) in your email. 3，应聘信的标题一般以什么为好呢？ An experienced C++ programmer applying for an software engineer position (something like that)

简历最好用rtf文件格式，比较通用，几乎所有的格式文本编辑软件都能打开它。用word格式的话，万一看你简历的人狠MS入骨呢？当然，还要看招聘信息里的具体要求，没有特别说明，就用rtf. 另外，再准备一份txt格式的，有些网站让你把简历post上去，这时起美化作用的字体、网格就没用了，只要段落整齐就行。 2、当你把简历文件通过电子邮件的附件发送时，请注意文件的命名。我用的格式：eglington_javadev_motorola.rtf，即本人名字+职位+公司名。这样的好处是方便看简历的人以后检索你的文件。发送之前，把简历拷贝一个复本文件，把它改名，然后发送这个复本。同时在硬盘上保留所有已发送的复本文件，也就是针对每个公司使用不同的文件，你可以方便的改动简历去适应不同公司职位的要求。 3、我个人认为，简历的格式没有某些文章说的那么重要，特别是对IT行业来说，skill and experience是关键，格式很fancy的简历未必能弥补这两者的不足。但是，简历必须层次分明，清晰易读。字体可以小点，但行间距一定要大！每个段落的标题与段落内容分开，独立一行，并且用粗体，大的段落间要有空行。正文当中粗体不要滥用，只在特别关键的地方用1-2次，比如很少见的证书，很著名的公司的名称等。 4、在用word排版时，所有字体要用英文的！我收到的简历里，某一篇通篇字体都是宋体黑体，我不能确认洋人收到后，看到的是什么效果。 5、简历的篇幅不需要有什么限制。就象一本小说，如果它从第一页就开始吸引你，你就不会在乎它是中篇的还是长篇的。关键是第一页要吸引人！如果你的简历第一页不能在5-6秒之内让人觉得你可能能干这份工作，你就完了。你如果对第一页有信心，而且确实有很多出色的工作经历，写3-4页又怕什么？ 6、我的简历采用的是objective, summary, skills & knowledge, work experience, education, professional training, archivements, activities, reference 的顺序写的。请注意，objective不要总是to seek a ... in a dynamic and challenging environment ...如果应聘的是个老牌很稳定的公司，你还要dynamic，明摆着告诉人家我这人喜新厌旧，待腻了就会跳槽。 7、第一页按照这样的原则写：把你最突出，最与众不同的东西放在第一页。如证书（mcse就算了），著名公司工作经验，参与过的大规模的项目，特殊的工作行业如银行、保险公司等。每项要单独一行，要写全称及缩写！不要“IT Certificates: CLP, SCJP, IBM CSE, etc.”要： “ - Certified Lotus Professional (CLP) on System Administration and Application Development - Sun Certified Java Programmer (SCJP) - IBM Certified Solution Expert (CSE): DB2 UDB admin and appl. dev. ” 我的agent跟我说过“your certificates make the difference”有证书很重要的！特别是有1000人和你竞争的时候。工作中经验比证书重要，但面食之前，证书比经验重要。证书可不要编造，兴许人家会要求你拿来复印一下（我遇到过） 8、第一页的下三分之一要写你的最后一份工作经验。工作经验要具体，详细。最好能列出project名称和大致内容，用户和数据规模，不要笼统的写“system installation and maintenance” 9、不要有错字！ 10、不要用太多的中国特有名词，用“nationwide, provincial, citywide”来形容其规模，什么“863”，“green card project”之类的，你认为老外能懂吗？ 11、保持一条主线，不能偏离招聘要求，主线以外的经验不能影响主线。比如一位朋友找网络管理工作，却写自己写过几年VB，我看不出这有什么好处。 12、对IT Professional来说，太简单的常识性的东西不要写，如会用word, excel之类的。

<div id="post_message_323143" style="OVERFLOW-X: hidden;">关于专业工作的REFERENCE,老牛说两句: 1.REFERENCE最好是三个,并且最好一个是你的前MANAGER,一个是你的技术方面的LEADER,一个是你的同事.一般来说,必须有一个是你的MANAGER. 2.让别人做你的REFERENCE之前,一定要把你的RESUME及要申请的JOB DESCRIPTION送给他或她,好让他或她有所准备. 3.一般的公司会自己或让专门CHECK REFERENCE的公司来CHECK REFERENCE.做REFERENCE的人应该根据与你的关系及经历来如实回答(当然褒多于贬).切不可吹的天花乱坠,有时会起反作用. 4.尽量至少找一个老外做自己的REFERENCE. 5.CHECK REFERENCE一般是最后一关,但老牛的确知道有人没有过这一关,非常遗憾!!! 6.REFERENCE最好不要在国内,因为时差,很难打电话CHECK.几年前也许会用EMAIL CHECK,但现在很难说.REFERENCE在北美,欧洲均可. 仅供参考!</div>

在动笔写简历之前要做以下几点： *** 对市场。了解需求。 -- 上网查询招聘信息，了解就业空间。 -- 输入关键词查询，只使用一个最大范围的关键词，不要对查询条件做太多限制。例如，找Java相关的工作。就只输入“Java”一个关键词。不要输入“Java and J2EE”或者“J2EE and Websphere”。给你自己一个最大的选择空间。 -- 定期做一次不设置日期的关键词查询。观察招聘广告数量，看市场需求有多大。 -- 每天定时做当日招聘广告查询。观察单位时间内，即每日新增招聘广告的数字。 -- 有时间的话，做几次符合自己条件的多条件查询，对比查询结果与在宽松查询条件下获得的结果。 -- 考察职位分布地点。具体办法是按照地点排序。获得加拿大对自己所在领域的需求程度的地域分布。 -- 考察招聘雇主的行业背景。了解什么行业对你所在领域要求最大。 -- 考察来自中介，和来自直接雇主的广告数量。并记录活跃的中介和雇主。具体办法是在浏览器上做分类标签。 -- 将广告分成来自中介和雇主两类，排除重复的招聘信息，以获得准确的招聘数量。同时，摒除那些经常发重复招聘信息的中介。减少浪费在中介上面的时间。但要重点留心那些重复发同一招聘广告的直接雇主。 -- 粗略划分出招聘职位的角色。例如对于 Java 的职位来说，可以分为：Business Analyst, System Analyst, Project Manager, Team Leader, Architect, Designer, Developer, Tester, QA, Relase and Change management, Support 等等。每种角色又分成不同级别：Senior, Intermediate 和Senior。考察市场对各个角色的需求比例。不一定有十分准确的数字，但是你在心中要有大概的那个多，那个少。 -- 认真分析招聘广告中的职位职责和对候选人的要求。尤其是对上述角色的要求和期望。也许你会发现在加拿大，一些职位的功能和要求与国内的有些差异。也会跟我们想象的有些差异。 -- 熟悉招聘广告中对技术的描述，工作流程的描述，对候选人的要求和期望。特别注意的要仔细阅读公司介绍，了解公司背景。并将其划分到某行业类别。 -- 熟悉招聘广告中使用到的词汇，包括技术术语，形容词。 *** 对自己的。分析技能，经历背景。为自己找到定位是很重要的。 -- 先给自己做一次三层的技能总结。 -- 第一、列出所有你精通的知识和技能。并分类。最好能按照招聘广告里对技能的分类方式。 -- 第二、在每项技能类别中列出你不是十分精通，但是熟悉，一般精通的技能。 -- 第三、按类别列出你一点都不知道，或者没用过的技能。但是这些技能又是你在浏览招聘信息时，发现被要求的。 -- 在对自己的经历和行业背景总结。 -- 第一、确定自己已经毕业了多少年。 -- 第二、回忆自己工作过的公司。确定这些公司的行业分类。 -- 第三、回忆自己做过的项目。为所有的项目做行业分类。

JunNie · 发表于 2006-7-10 10:00:00

*** 根据市场需求，定制你自己。 -- 首先声明，这里的“定制自己”不是指“编造”自己。是指根据市场的需要，基于诚实的原则，对自己真实的技能和背景做取舍；并且根据市场的需求，努力提高自己，填补不足。 -- 现在你已经有了市场需求，有了对自己的了解。现在要做的是寻找市场和你的 match 点。可能你会发现你喜欢做的并不是市场需要的；而市场需要的你也有能力做。例如：你原来（或者希望）做 Designer，但你也有能力做程序员；而市场上正需要程序员。如果你的条件比市场需求所要求的大，这就比较好。 -- 根据市场需求和自己的条件，为自己定位一个职位角色。一定一定只有一个角色。写简历之前你花多点时间来深思熟虑的确定这个角色是应该的。 -- 尽量避免同时扮演2个角色。如果你的角色是 Developer, 那尽量避免再同时扮演Team Leader 或者是Project Manager。你可能做一个有数据库经验的程序员，或者一个有编程经验的DBA，但是不要认为自己可以同时做DBA，又可以做程序员。 -- 我还认识几个人，都是说自己什么都会，什么都能做。在写简历的时候，却不知道重点在哪。 -- 我曾经在简历上把 Title 写成 Senior Application Developer and Architect。因为我的确做过开发和architecture 设计。在面试时人家问我：你到底是做什么的。后来，我作出取舍，避免这样尴尬的情况。 -- 不要经常变换角色。尽量始终把精力放在一个角色上。也许经过几次尝试和变换之后才能确定最合适的角色，但最后一定要固定在只一个角色上。变换角色对你和雇主的注意力都会有影响。 -- 可以对自己的角色有一些辅助功能，就是增加一些其他角色的技能。一般这个辅助技能是你现在角色的上一个级别角色的功能，或者是关系密切的角色的功能。例如：你是程序员，可能你还同时有设计能力，还有测试能力。但是你不要跳过级别说你有 Architect，Business Analysis 或者 Software Sales 的技能和经验。 -- 参考市场上招聘广告的技能要求，给你确定的角色添加相关的技能。此时，需要取舍，不要舍不得。这个时候不是发挥想象的时候。要用最简单的直线连接技能类别和你的技能。不要为了把技能写上而想一些牵强的理由。 -- 例如：我对美术很有兴趣，并对图像处理和动画制作很在行。但是这对找程序员工作没帮助。也许有的朋友会说，这技能可以用在 web 应用开发过程中，帮助处理网页中的图片。我觉得很牵强。你绝对不能在Web application development skills 中加上 Photoshop 或者 Flash 。 -- 对比市场上正在招人的企业的行业类别与你原来公司的行业类别，或者做过的项目的行业类别。把你自己的行业背景归到市场上需要的一个类别。例如：零售，教育，服务，金融，政府，图书馆，广播，旅游等等。 在完成上面的工作之后，你可以动笔写简历了。现在，你除了有一堆草稿纸之外，你的脑子里对市场，对自己有所了解。上面的工作可能在你写完简历后还需要阶段性的重复。但在重复一段时间后，你对方方面面的考虑会呈现出基本成熟，稳定不变的局面。

<div id="post_message_833081" style="OVERFLOW-X: hidden;">1.Introduction Developing a Resumé is the first step in any successful job search. The average Resumé is written out of necessity: Everyone knows you have to have one to get a job. In fact, most employers require a Resumé before accepting any application, regardless of the position or its pay. You need a Resumé, and you need it now. Time is of the essence in today's job market. While hundreds of jobs come open every day, their average life span-and your window of opportunity-has now become a matter of weeks. Employers can't afford losses in productivity, so they need to fill open positions as quickly as possible. That means opportunities can (and most certainly will) arise unexpectedly. You must be prepared for anything at any time. Having a Resumé handy from the outset of a job search enables you to take advantage of what may come along the way. When you're hunting for a job, the Resumé is your introduction. An effective Resumé gets employers interested in making person-to-person contact with you. Research suggests that most Resumés are scanned very quickly - for less than a minute. Thus, the decision to interview a candidate is usually based on an overall first impression of him or her. The Resumé must clearly, concisely and strategically present your qualifications, and show how you can help employers solve the problems they currently face in their business. In short, you must prove your worth as a potential employee in order to progress to the interview stage of the job search. Your Resumé is one way of communicating the value you offer a perspective employer and of differentiating yourself from the field of job seekers. Therefore, your Resumé needs to convey three things to those who read it: You have the skills, talent and personal qualities to accomplish those things that are important to an employer. You have a history of training, accomplishments and/or experience to substantiate this claim. You will be an asset to the organization insofar as you facilitate its operations, have positive work attitudes and get along with others. The Resumé is part employability profile and part promotional device. To write effective Resumés, you must learn how to write powerful yet subtle advertising copy. You have to sell yourself. Remember: Employers are hiring you, not a piece of paper. Think of the Resumé as a personal advertisement, which promotes you and what you can do - those qualities enabling you to produce tangible results in the workplace. This Resumé-writing guide is intended to help you sort out, clarify and describe your qualifications to prospective employers. It is designed to help you think about and address employers' real needs so that you can convey to them how and why you're a truly exceptional candidate for the job. Contact Information (Name, Address, Phone Number, E-mail, Fax Number) Directions: Please fill out your contact information, as you want it to appear at the header of your Resumé. Look over the information you're giving carefully--every letter and digit counts! In most cases, it's best to use your legal name, which is the one that appears on your school records and social insurance card. You don't want to confuse employers by using several versions of your name, and you want them to be able to readily access your records from previous employers, educational institutions, etc. The phone number you list is important. This is how employers contact you. Therefore, it is advisable to give a number where you can be reached, either in person or by machine, between the hours of 8am and 5pm, Monday through Friday. You don't want employers to discard your Resumé because they can't reach you. (TO BE CONTINUED)</div>

<div id="post_message_833088" style="OVERFLOW-X: hidden;">2-Minute Summary, or My Personal Summary Oftentimes, employers want to know something in addition to the nuts and bolts of your employment history. In other words, they want to know a little about you. Here are some topics you might want to touch on in your personal statement: YOUR FORMATIVE YEARS. Where did you grow up? What did your parents do for a living? What kinds of things fascinated you as a child? How did the events of you childhood affect or shape the course of your professional life? NOTE: Don't spend too much time discussing your early life if it doesn't have much to do with where you are today. On the other hand, if your early obsession with rocks eventually led to a career in the petroleum industry, talk about it. Employers like to hire people who're genuinely interested in what they do. YOUR EDUCATIONAL CREDENTIALS. Where did you attend college? What did you major/minor in? How did the course of your studies impact the direction of your professional life? Why did you choose to study what you did? YOUR CAREER TO THIS POINT. Where have you been? What is particularly interesting about the progression of your career to this point? What are some of your biggest and/or most important work-related accomplishments? YOUR CAREER IN TRANSITION. Why are you in transition or changing jobs? YOUR CAREER IN MOTION. What do you want to do next? Why? Why do you want to it in a particular setting? YOUR FAMILY STATUS. Feel free to comment on your family life, if you feel it's significant. You'll probably want to omit this topic entirely if you're recently divorced or temporarily separated from your spouse. Don't give employers the wrong impression - that personal issue might negatively affect your work. YOUR INTERESTS. The advantage of telling employers about your interests is that they can indicate a skill or an area of knowledge that is related to your career goal(s). For example, someone looking for a position in a public relations office might describe his or her interest in photography. Hobbies can also be an effective way of conveying your well roundedness to employers. What you need to know before you start composing your Resumé... Effective commercials always target a specific audience to generate sales. What good would it do to market a convertible to people over sixty, when all they really want is a safe, reliable car for taking their grandchildren to the park? The same is true of Resumés: You can't expect an employer to hire a bricklayer when he or she really needs a computer programmer. You must give some thought to the audience of your Resumé. Usually, the person reading the Resumés is the person who will be doing the hiring. This is the person who is responsible for the bottom line productivity of the organization you hope to be a part of. And, this is someone who cares deeply about the quality of the work that will be done. This is also the person to whom you should target your Resumé. Put yourself in their shoes: What would they want to know about a prospective employee? What would get them interested in and even excited about meeting you? The first thing you need to do is get clear what an employer is looking for and what you have to offer him or her. Finding out what employers want...If you're seeking a job in some field you know well, you probably already know what would make someone a superior candidate. But, if you aren't sure, you can gather clues from want ads and people presently employed in that field. You could even contact an employer and ask him or her what would make someone an ideal candidate for the position. This information is vital for writing a Resumé that markets you to prospective employers. You can use it to tailor your skills and abilities to match the requirements of the position you're seeking. Figuring out what you have to offer...If you're like most people, this is the hardest part about writing a Resumé. It's often difficult to see connections between the things you have done and the things an employer is looking for. You have knowledge and experience of all sorts, but an employer wants to see your qualifications . They want to learn about your marketable skills and characteristics, which means you need to learn how to brag...(TO BE CONTINUED)</div>

<div id="post_message_833089" style="OVERFLOW-X: hidden;">3.Identifying Your Skills, Talents and Personal Qualifications Most people feel a bit uneasy when it comes to talking about (or talking up) what they do well. No one likes a braggart; so few people feel comfortable bragging about themselves. If we hold dear what our mothers taught us, we might never find a job - because we would forever be imagining ourselves as less qualified than the next guy or gal. Since you are the right person for the job, however, the rules can be bent. During the job search, the motto is this: It's okay to boast as long as you have something to boast about. Still feel like you don't have anything much to talk about? You are not alone. But you are mistaken: Like most people, you have hundreds of skills. How can this be? You never learned how to boast, to explain the myriad skills you have or to express your own aptitude to others. The fact is, you probably take for granted many things you do well that others would find hard or even impossible to do. That is what sets you apart from others and makes you valuable to prospective employers. A note on skills vs. duties...Many people find it difficult to distinguish their skills from their duties. Duties are the basic functions of an activity, while skills are the tools by which one accomplishes those functions. Duties or functions are part of any organized activity, whether it is work or play. A simple way to illustrate the difference between duties and skills is to consider the management of a lemonade stand. The basic duties of a lemonade stand owner might be: "To manage lemonade operations, including marketing, distribution and finances." There are many skills he or she might need to carry out these functions. Some examples of those skills are: mixing, measuring, planning, sales, customer service, writing, cash handling, record keeping, maintenance, timeliness, dependability, accuracy, and motivation. A complete list of skills would be very long, but the important point to remember is that it takes a number of skills to accomplish even the most simple duties or functions. Developing Your Skills Language In order to identify your skills, you must know where to look for them. There are three areas that you should inquire into: previous jobs, personal traits and specific talents. Each area corresponds to a particular type of skill. Job-Related Skills. These are the skills you need to do a specific job, and the ones you have developed in or for past jobs. An auto mechanic, for example, needs to know how to tune engines, repair brakes and use a variety of tools. These are all skills that he or she would need to repair cars. They are job-related skills, and most people think of job skills when they are asked what kind of skills they have. Adaptive Skills or Self-Management Skills. These skills can also be defined as personality traits or personal characteristics. Such skills are those that you use day by day to get along with others or to adjust to a particular situation. They are skills that make you unique. For example, honesty and enthusiasm are traits that employers look for in a good worker, as evidence of how he or she will "fit" into the organization. While many job seekers do not emphasize these skills in Resumés, employers look for them. Transferable Skills. These are skills that can transfer from one job or occupation to another. Because most people do not find jobs identical to their previous ones, it is important to determine how your skills transfer into other opportunities. Writing clearly and the ability to organize things are two examples of transferable skills that you can employ in almost any work situation. Transferable skills generally fall into five categories: Communication: the skillful expression, transmission and interpretation of knowledge and ideas Research and Planning: the search for specific knowledge and the ability to conceptualize future needs and to devise solutions for meeting those needs Human Relations: the use of interpersonal skills for resolving conflict, helping and relating to people Organization, Management and Leadership: the ability to supervise, direct and guide individuals and groups in the completion of tasks and fulfillment of goals Work Survival: the day-to-day skills that assist in promoting effective production and work satisfaction.

4.Targeting Your Resumé Writing Your Objective or Career Summary First of all, targeting your Resumé to an employer requires absolute clarity as to the direction in which you want to take your career. You could start by naming the position you intend to pursue. However, simply listing the title of the job you're seeking can be risky. There are over 20,000 job titles in use today-far too many for you or anyone else to really know well. Every work environment is different. You might be delighted to work in one place and entirely miserable working in another. Both situations could look very much the same. They could even have the same job title. This is why you should include an Objective or a Career Summary at the beginning of your Resumé. You want employers to know from the outset what you want to do, as well as what you want to prove you're qualified to do. A focused and well written Objective or Career Summary should convey a powerful message to employers-that there is a perfect "fit" between you and their organization. If you're making a career change or are a recent graduate, use an Objective...An Objective should include information on the type of position you seek and the most compelling qualities, abilities or accomplishments that will make you stand out from the other applicants. Here are the basic formulae: OBJECTIVE: "To secure X position in an organization where Y and Z skills would be utilized." OBJECTIVE: "To secure a position in X in which I may employ Y and Z." The point of using an Objective is to create a psychological response in an employer by getting him or her to immediately focus on where you're going with your career, rather than where you have (or have not) been. If you're looking for a new job in the same field, use a Career Summary...A Career Summary highlights your background and provides a brief overview of your most important qualifications, skills and/or professional experience. Here's the basic formula: CAREER SUMMARY: A short phrase describing your profession Two or three additional statements relating to: the breadth or depth of your skills the unique combination of skills you possess your innovative approach to the work the range of environments in which you have experience your history of awards, promotions or commendations your special or well-documented accomplishments in the field A sentence describing your professional objective or interest Choosing the Right Resumé Format for You Resumé format refers not to the design or look of your Resumé but to how you organize and emphasize the information you use to back-up your Objective or Career Summary. It is important to choose a Resumé format that will best suit your individual background. The idea is to format your Resumé in a way that best presents you-your skills, personal traits and work experience-to a prospective employer.

There are three basic types of Resumés: Chronological, Functional and Combination. The chronological format gives a job-by-job retelling of your experience. It's the traditional favourite of employers because it reads quickly and enables them to spot flaws easily. The skills-based functional format emphasizes what you can do rather than what you have done and where you did it. Finally, the combination format merges skills summaries with job histories, which allows job seekers to place their most marketable skills and experiences at the forefront of their Resumés. The Chronological Resumé cites your employment history in reverse chronological order, from your most recent position back. It shows dates as well as employers and educational institutions (college, vocational/technical schools and career-oriented programs or courses). This is an up-front format: It demonstrates exactly how and where your career has progressed, underscoring continuity from job to job. Who Should Write a Chronological Resumé? This format is best for people with a steady work history, which reflects constant growth or lateral movement. It is important that your experience be extremely relevant to the position(s) you're seeking. Having a proven track record in one field or industry does little to convince employers in another field or industry that you're worth hiring. Chronological Resumés are not for people looking to make significant transitions in their careers--like changing fields. It helps if your recent job titles are impressive; they get an employer's attention. This is not the best format for someone with blemishes on his or her work history: gaps, demotions, stagnation in a single position, job hopping, and recent re-entry into the workforce can give employers pause. The Functional Resumé highlights your diverse range of abilities and transferable skills, while downplaying your job history. This format offers a lot of flexibility insofar as you can vary the categories of skills and abilities you choose to highlight, which allows you to focus on your specific qualifications for the position. Who Should Write a Functional Resumé? This format is perfect for career changers, recent graduates and people with gaps or problems in their employment histories. People looking to change industries or to work in a new field should use Functional Resumés. They allow you to emphasize skills that support your objective and relate to your field of interest. It's like serving up your functional skills on a silver platter. This format uses unpaid and/or non-work-related experience to your best advantage. The Combination Resumé includes elements of both the chronological and functional formats. It satisfies demands for employment timelines, and it showcases your most marketable skills and impressive accomplishments. The advantage of this format is that it allays any possible concerns about your work experience, while allowing you to emphasize your talents and how you might utilize them in the position you're seeking. Who Should Write a Combination Resumé? This format is particularly useful for people looking to increase their responsibilities or pursue higher-level positions in their current field. Combination Resumés help you to demonstrate the skills you have to do a job, even though you might not have a proven track record in that particular position (but have prior experience in that field or industry).
