1. Writing an objective。
1. 寫求職目標
Pro: Those in favor of including an objective at the top of your resume say it tells the hiring manager what the candidate is looking for, which is most helpful if you're seeking an entry-level position. Placing someone with little-to-no work experience is a difficult task, because you can't tell where they would be most helpful and productive. This is where objectives can help。
正面觀點:那些贊成在簡歷上方寫求職目標的人說這樣會告訴招聘經(jīng)理求職者想要的是什么,這是對應聘初級職位的人是最有幫助的。給某個有很少甚至沒有工作經(jīng)驗的人安排工作是一項艱巨的任務,因為你不知道他在哪個崗位上工作最有幫助并且有成效。這就是寫求職目標可以幫著解決的事。
Con: Those who are against the objective say the short statement could pigeon-hole you if you have a few years of experience, since your skills can lead to jobs you aren't even aware of。
反面觀點:那些反對寫求職目標的人認為如果你已經(jīng)有幾年的經(jīng)驗,簡短的求職聲明會適得其反,因為你的技能會導致你去做之前想都沒想過的工作。
2. The one-page resume。
2. 簡歷控制在一頁紙的篇幅
Pro: Most recruiters will agree on a resume length of one page, especially since recruiters are only going to spend an average of six seconds scanning your resume. The longer your resume is, the more difficult it will be for recruiters to scan it。
正面觀點:大部分招聘人員將同意簡歷的內(nèi)容控制在一頁紙,尤其是招聘官平均只花6秒看你的簡歷。簡歷越長,招聘人員瀏覽就越困難。
Con: On the other hand, having a longer resume could be acceptable if it's "in-depth and warranted.These days if a resume is more than one page, it won’t matter as much as it once did given most are viewed on a computer where pages are less of an issue。
反面觀點:另一方面,如果簡歷寫的“深入且理由充分”,那篇幅長一些是可以的。近些日子如果簡歷超過一頁紙,負面影響也不像以前那么多,因為簡歷如今都是機器篩選,頁數(shù)并不算大問題了。
3. Revealing gaps in employment。
3. 寫上就業(yè)空白期
Pro:You should include these gaps on your resume because they will likely be revealed at some point during the interview process. The recruiters tell us the best way to do this is by including the reason for the gaps in brackets next to the dates of employment on your resume。
正面觀點:你在簡歷中應該包括這些空白期,因為它們可能會在面試的某個時候被問到。招聘人員告訴我們最好的解決辦法是在簡歷上雇傭日期旁的括號里寫上原因。
Con: If you were unemployed for a period of time and don't want to call attention to it, experts advise using only years instead of months when detailing dates of employment at specific companies. This will make it more difficult for hiring managers to detect gaps in your work history。
反面觀點:如果你失業(yè)了一段時間而且不想讓人知道,專家建議在寫公司的在職日期時,只寫年份不寫月份。這將讓招聘經(jīng)理更難發(fā)現(xiàn)你的工作空窗期。
4. Eliminating experience older than 15 years。
4. 不寫超過15年的經(jīng)歷
Pro: You should leave out any experience older than 15 years because chances are it won't be relevant or interesting to the hiring manager。
正面觀點:你應該不寫任何超過15年的經(jīng)歷,因為招聘經(jīng)理可能覺得經(jīng)歷不相關或?qū)λ鼈儾桓信d趣。
Con: However, you should include more than 15 years of work experience if it's relevant because you don't want the hiring manager thinking that you misrepresented yourself when you finally do meet。
反面觀點:不過,如果是相關的,你應該寫15年以上的工作經(jīng)歷,因為你不希望當確實符合工作要求時招聘經(jīng)理認為你不適合。
5. Including your hobbies。
5. 寫上愛好
Pro: Recruiters aren't completely sure whether it's a good idea to include hobbies or not, but you can include them if you tailor the skills you acquired while participating in the hobby to the job position you're applying for。
正面觀點:招聘人員還沒有完全確定在簡歷里寫愛好是否是個好主意,但是你可以在寫愛好的同時把你學到的技能和申請的職位對應。
Con: Whatever you decide to include, don't let it take away from the core message of the resume, which is what have you done and what you can do for the employer。
反面觀點:不管你決定寫什么愛好,不要讓它偏離簡歷的核心信息:你做了什么以及你能為雇主做什么。
