问题    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.
What does a good resume NOT do?
选项 A、It presents your experience in a concise way.
B、It provides an accurate account of your skills.
C、It tries to show that you are suitable for the company.
D、It attempts to show that you have a lot of experience.
答案D
解析 文章第四段谈到好简历应做到两点：一是如实、简洁地介绍自己的技能和经历，二是试图向用人单位证实你是合适的人选。因此前三个选项均不符合题意。文章最后一段说，现在一些大学生把简历做成一本“书”，以示自己阅历丰富。其实写简历没有必要面面俱到，关键是要突出自己的强项和特点。因此正确答案为D。
