The thought of having to write a resume intimidates almost every, graduating student. It’s difficult to know where to begin and what to include, and it can seem like an impossible task.
But, don’t be nervous. Adopt a new approach to resume writing and you’re certain to produce a winner. The philosophy is simple but effective: see yourself as a product that you’re trying to sell to consumers.
Think of your resume and cover letter as advertisements. That means you need to point out the benefits of the product (you) to the consumer (the employer) in the most concise, effective way possible.
A good resume does two things: it gives the employers a concise, accurate picture of your skills and experience, and it attempts to convince them that you and their company are a good match.
There are several forms: chronological, experience-based and functional. The functional is the best route to take for a new graduate: You get all the necessary information in an easy-to-read form.
Your resume should at least include:
Name and contact information
Job objective
Education
Awards and other forms of recognition, if applicable
Internships and work or leadership experience
Language and computer skills
Professional memberships, if applicable
Remember, the purpose of your resume is to generate enough interest in you to have an employer contact you for an interview.
So, your first goal should be the same as the company’s goal or the goal of the position you’re applying for. You can structure your resume around that objective. If you don’t show a sense of direction, employers won’t be interested.
Currently, most job positions in job adverts may say that a minimum of one or two years of work experience is required. What if you don’t have any experience?
As a university graduate, you only need a brief, concentrated period of volunteer training or work to say that you have some experience to put on your resume.
Also, look at some of the volunteer work and social activities you’ve organised or participated in, and see if any of that counts for skills you’ll need for your future job.
In addition, fill your resume with "PAR" statements (Problem-Action-Results). In other words, first you state the problem that existed in your study life or in your part-time workplace, then you describe what you did about it, and finally you point out the beneficial results.
Nowadays, university graduates tend to make their resume into a "book" to show they have a lot of experience, and many girls even add a photo album. The truth is, you don’t need to go into detail about every accomplishment. To get an interview, you should think of your resume as a marketing tool. What are your features and strong points? What makes you unique? Make sure to convey this information in your resume, and if necessary you should alter your resume to fit different companies.
According to the passage, what’s the most important thing when you start writing a resume?
选项
A、Learn how to write a resume in the right format.
B、Learn how to highlight your strong points and understate your weak points.
C、Learn how to market yourself arid sell your services to a company.
D、Learn how to please your potential employer.
答案
C
解析
文章第二段第三句:简单而有效的原则是将自己视为向顾客出售的产品。即将自己商品化,向有人单位推销自己。文章另外提到,简历的目的是让用人单位有兴趣面试你,而为了让单位给你面试的机会,你应该把简历当作自我推销的工具。所以C为最佳答案。
