英文简历的语言
本文来源:/subject/bec/page/41214/
问:我今年九月就要毕业了,现在正在投简历找工作,但是写简历实在让我很头疼,因为我的英文不太好,同寝室的同学给我出了个主意,让我直接把中文简历翻译成英文就好,可是这样做英文简历的篇幅就大大增加了怎么办呢?
答:从某种意义上来说,英文简历比中文简历更重要,在没有见到应聘者本人之前,你的英文水平全凭简历上的寥寥数语来体现,而它也在很多时候决定了用人单位对你"用"还是"不用"。可以说,英文简历就是进入外企的敲门砖。但是对于如何制作一份即专业又有效的英文简历确实需要遵从一些小技巧。
英文简历的三个误区
1. 很多人认为自己的英文不好,也可以顺利制作英文简历吗?答案是肯定的。
2. 英文简历不就是把中文简历翻译过来就行了吗?这个观念是错误的。中英文简历有很多不同,包括格式、文化和语言上的种种不同,所以千万不要直接把中文简历做一下翻译直接了事。
3. 有人说"英文简历描述得越详细越好",这肯定是不正确的。英文简历的基本要求是专业简练,对求职者来说,目的明确,通俗易懂的语言表达是简历行之有效的基础。要如何做到呢?
4. 英文简历的语言
忌讳长句
HR看你的简历不会超过1分钟,所以切记"YRIS"(Your resume is secanned, not read)的原则,在成千上万的简历中,HR没有时间和耐心去"拜读"你的简历。
使用行为动词
在简历中,行为动词让你听起来更有目的性,更有活力。
例如:"Managed a team of 20 employees" 就比 "Was in charge of 20 employees" 更有力度。
调整语法
虽然我们常觉得有千言万语要向招聘单位诉说,不过空间有限,简历写作的标准只允许你使用缩写句。可以省略句子的主语(I, my manager)、物主代词(my/mine, his/hers)有时甚至省略冠词(the/a)。如果要在一个句子中列出不只一个成就,你可以用"and"取代分号。
例如:"我负责一项非常重要的项目,而且我的经理给予我奖励"就可以直接写成"Led key project and awarded by manager".
沪江剑桥商务英语网 /subject/bec/ 用数字说话
为了凸显你过去的学习和经历,用数字直接表示你的业绩是最直接的手段。

修改后:Developed online help and user manuals.
修改前:Launching new products was an important part of my job.
