知名国际企业录用人才的程序严格,大多数人都是以一份中英文简历开始塑造他在公司的形象。而对于大型跨国企业,英文简历(resume)的制作尤为重要,它可能决定求职者能否进入面试,能否有真正展露自己才华的机会。不了解有关的常识和程式,不花费相当的心思来展示,单凭纯正娴熟的英文功底,不容易获得单位的青睐。在一大堆错误百出、英文表达能力低劣或平庸,毫无针对性和创造性的简历中,你的那份若能让人眼睛一亮,成功的机会必将大大增加。
权重表balance sheet
选取适当的工作后,必须看清招聘广告上所列出的每项要求,再将自己的学历、能力与兴趣逐一与之比较,作一张权重表(balance sheet)。
例如,一则关于销售管理培训生(marketing management trainee)的职位要求(job requirement)是这样写的:
We are looking for a competent person to fill the captioned position:
University graduate majors in Marketing Management. Prepared to develop career in the commercial field
-outgoing personality
-Able to communicate with different levels
-Good knowledge in PC operations
-Proficiency in written and spoken English/Mandarin
则应相应地考虑自己的条件(qualification)的选择和表述,例如可以与上述各项对应写:
-University graduate with major in Marketing
-Having actively participated in Business club’s activities and learned accounting and management
-Good in communication with people and like a lot of out door activities know how to tackle with people from all walks of life
-Skillful in operating Words? Excel? Lotus1-2-3?etc
-Fluent in English and studied advanced level of Mandarin
这个方法的好处是可让你清楚了解该职位是否适合自己,而且,明白了各项要求后,就可依据每一点在履历表上重点提出自己在该方面的强项。突出卖点,将之放在最吸引别人的地方,使招聘者一眼明了,有利于表现自己。
