对ZMZ英文履历的点评 博管理咨询(香港)有限公司总经理张庆 从我们猎头公司的角度看这篇英文简历,感觉还是不错的。可以用这样几个字来概括:条理比较清晰,结构比较完整,用词也比较规范。如果说还有哪些地方需要提高的话,可能在“卖点”上需要花一点功夫。从比较专业的眼光去品判一篇英文简历,我想简单概括以下几点,也可为想写好英文简历的经理人作参考: 1 英文简历的格式其实很简单,可以根据自己的经验和专业能力搞得新颖一点。但基本上不外乎以下几个要素,如:
Name:
Address:
Tel:
E-mail:
Objective:
Summary:
Professional Experience:
Education:
Qualifications &Professional Designations:
Hobbies(If need):
在Professional Experience 之前的要素,描述不用太长篇,高度概括即可。面试人,特别是老外,可从中看出你的英文概括能力(长句的使用)。
2、英文简历中,专业经验、经历(Professional Experience)部分是重头戏。因为这个部分是面试人最感兴趣和关心的,以后即使在面试时,也差不多围绕这个在说话。写简历的人需要花大“手笔”去描述这个部分。
  怎样才能描述好,要抓住以下几个关键:
工作职责Responsibility。
工作业绩Achievement: 如完成了多少指标,如何完成的?管理多少人,利润提高了多少?等等。 在A,B 中,要不厌其烦地用比较数字说明问题,因为猎头或面试人可能对你的专业不很了解,但每一个人都对跳跃的数字感兴趣,并且记得住,如:团队由最初的3人发展到现在的15人,经销商由99年的3家扩展到2001年的23家等等。
不要光写成功经验,也要提及曾经走过的弯路和失败。最好是写一个例子,说明原先某个事件看上去已经失败,但通过你的努力,提高很快,很显著,你也从中学到很多。告诉面试人或写在简历上你是通过哪些办法去改变的。老外往往对这一些很感兴趣,因为走过弯路再成功的人更吸引人,也对他的公司更具有实际操作意义。 这个部分用词也有讲究,能令人兴奋和印象深刻的词很多,如:rebuild up, developed, exceed, participated, enhanced, coordinated, conducted, assisted processed, implemented, management,prepared, consolidated, contributed more than % for, over, revenue, growth, excellent performance,top,strategy, awarded, significant increase, milestones, etc.
3 Education Qualification & Professional designation 这两部分,可按照标准的一些格式如实附上,如:
Education
California State University, Fullerton
Master of Business Administration degree with a finance specialty. May 2001
Bachelor of Arts degree with concentration in Accounting, May 1993
Professional Designation
Certified Management Accounting, October 1999. Member of IMA since 1994.
Certified in Financial Management, April 2001.
CPA candidate, passed the entire CPA Exam in May 1994. Member of CACPAs since 1995. 4
最后一个部分可以简单写一些你的个人爱好(Hobbies)和个人情况(Personal Information).面试时,面试人(包括很多老外),通过对你这部分看似平常的,非工作性的情况的了解,(特别是请高级管理层),更能评估你这个人目前的状态和你对社会、家庭的一些看法,以及看出你解决一些实际问题的思路和能力。
总体来讲,写英文简历并不难,难的是要赢得面试。我们经常在上面的讨论中谈到面试人和我们猎头对这份简历的看法。任何一篇文章,不在长短,也不在形式花俏,而在于它的特点和卖点。而且特点和卖点在一开始的时候就应该显现出来。就像1999年风险投资盛行时,你如果想吸引风险投资家的目光,你必需在开场白的5分钟内让人对你的项目感兴趣,在45秒内让人明白你要做什么,简历只是把这种表白书面化了。任何一个看你简历的猎头和面试人都希望在最短的时间内知道你的特点和卖点,都喜欢一个能给他们带来与众不同的人,能给他们带来别人所没有的东西。如果你的简历在这点上作了文章,可能幸运之星已经在向你招手了,也已经有人对你动心了。
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
以下是第二篇:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
写中文简历,对中国人来说,小菜一碟,但是写英文简历呢?那情况就不一样了,很多人根本不懂英语,于是请朋友代写英文简历,这还好些。还有一些人干脆直接用网上的翻译器翻译,那翻译出来的文章真是让人忍俊不禁。
  那么英文简历到底该怎么写呢?其实不难,你只要知道一些常用的英语还有跟自己专业相关的一些英语,再套用一个好的简历模式,就足够了。下面我们就来介绍一种比较适合大众,也是国外最普遍,最流行的一种简历模式:
  一、首先,自己的姓名,地址,联系方式。比如电话或者电子邮箱等等。一般采用居中的方式,其他的则居左就可以了。如下:
Name
Address
Phone No.
Home Cell phone No.
Email   
  二、接着,要写objective(求职意向)。这一栏是最重要的一项了。很多公司主要看这一项的内容是否跟他们所要求的一致或者接近。比如:
OBJECTIVE:
A sales management or business development position where my strategic and consultative selling, cross-cultural relationship building, team facilitation, business management, organizational insight, and advanced technical skills will be continually challenged. I aspire to senior management responsibility and seek a company that embraces growth and change, where compensation is performance-based and increased levels of responsibility offered those with demonstrated potential.
  (销售经理职位或者和企业发展有关的职位,可以使我的战略头脑、销售能力、建立跨文化关系的能力、团队能力、商务管理能力、组织能力和先进的技术能力都能够进一步的发挥和进步。……)
  上面这个例子是老外的简历中的原句,当然对中国人来说比较复杂,如果对英语要求不高的话,其实也不需写这么多。一般来说可以直接翻译中文简历中的句子,但是也有很多比较好大家普遍接受的表达方法,由于各行各业不同,而应聘职位也不同,要根据情况而不同,具体请点击查看英文简历中各行各业应聘职位用语。但是如果你想要应聘外企或者所应聘的公司对英语要求比较高的话就可以把使用的句子修饰一下,当然要在自己的能力范围内哦。
   另外要注意的是,如果工作经验很多,也没有必要完全列举出来,可以挑几项自己感觉最得意的或者对自己提升最大的来写。
    三、下面要写summary了,也就是(个人简介)。这可是展现自己能力的一个好机会,既要赞美自己,又不能使对方觉得自己在自夸。有很多自我赞美的句子,具体请点击查看个人简历中如何用英语自我赞美。
  四、Experience 工作经验。这一点,别人可帮不了你,得自己写。不过以什么样的形式写,我可以给大家一个建议,比如:
2005 - Present
 CompanySales Executive - Financial Services
Just started an exciting new position selling data integration solutions to the insurance and financial services vertical for Pervasive. Will try to update soon.
  上面这个例子中体现的方式是外国人普遍采用的方式。因为外国人从很小的时候就开始独立,那么他们可能从事过很多工作,这种方式即使是罗列很多条也比较清晰,而且还把时间和当时的职位用一种比较明显的方式标注,也能突出重点。职位下面的那句话就是对你所担任的那个职位简单描述了。
  五、再接着要写education(教育背景)。一般从大学开始写起,时间,学校,专业,所获得的学位,还有awards也就是所获的奖项,尤其是特殊奖项等。(注意:如果教育经历不多的话一般教育和背景写在一起,但是如果教育背景或者奖项很突出的话,则可以另列一栏。)   
  以上这些是必写的内容。还有一些可以有选择性的写,比如:Associations(参加的社团组织),现在的公司对计算机或者外语能力都有一定的要求,所以还可以写自己的Computer background(计算机能力)和Language skills,最后还可以写一栏Personal profile(个人评价),比如:   
A dynamic, articulate, talented leader, manager and sales professional who inspires confidence and respect, grasps ideas and concepts quickly, is adept at organizing complex projects, recognizes or creates solutions to problems, believes in setting and achieving goals, and possesses the integrity and commitment to high quality performance that produces outstanding results of lasting value.
  除此之外,还可以加上一些个人情况,象婚姻情况,身体状况,业余爱好等等。
