How to write the format and content of English resume?

For students who want to apply for top 500 foreign companies and foreign schools, it is very important to have a professional English resume, and some large domestic companies also need English resumes to apply for jobs. It should be noted that English resumes are not just the translation of Chinese resumes. Write a professional English resume, and pay attention to the format and content. To optimize the format and content of English resumes, we should pay attention to the following three points:

First, English resume format should pay attention to typesetting

Compared with Chinese resumes, English resumes pay more attention to typesetting format. An English resume with excellent typography is more professional, and it is easier to highlight key points and advantages, so that the gold content of English resume is higher. The typesetting format of English resumes is mainly divided into these modules:

Top content: the basic information in English resume is at the top. It should be noted that you only need to write your name and contact information on your English resume, and the name can be in a slightly larger font. Personal information such as avatar, age and gender. Can't appear on English resume, because in western recruitment culture, this information may cause objective interference to recruitment, so it is not recommended to write personal information on resume.

1 name: If there is no commonly used English name, write a Chinese name, without taking an English name.

Email: Students can use edu email, Gmail is recommended overseas, and QQ email is not recommended. It is suggested to name the mailbox with your own name, or you can add a prefix and suffix number.

3 Telephone: It is recommended to add the area code (such as +86) and write in a form that is easy to memorize and dial.

Module content: In addition to basic information, there are generally four modules:

1 educational experience module? education

2 Work experience module? Professional experience

3? Activity Experience Module Leadership Experience

4? Others (skills and language ability, etc. )? many-sided

Module order: Students' English resumes should take "academic experience" as the priority, and those with more than 1 year work experience should take "work experience" as the priority. If you have educational experience or work experience that you want to highlight, you can also advance the corresponding content appropriately.

Second, the content of English resume needs to be expressed accurately.

In English resumes, inaccurate expression of English sentences is a common mistake made by many college students and job seekers who rarely write English resumes. Although recruiters can generally read resumes, it will greatly reduce the score of resumes. If you want to express it more accurately in your English resume, you need to pay attention to two points:

1.？ Avoid self-summarizing statements.

Many students like to use self-summarizing sentences when writing English resumes, such as this:

"Let me exercise XX ability"

"Let me improve my XX level."

"Cultivate the ability to collect and obtain information, and inspire what ability? Complete the research report. "

"Cultivate a strong working ability and leadership ..."

Such a self-summary will not make HR think that you have such ability, but will lower the evaluation of your English resume because of the lack of specific description. In an English resume, all the abilities you want to embody should come from? Verb+result? Show it.

For example, in the first sentence, it is obviously better to remove the sentence of self-evaluation and explain the specific work content in detail:

Complete the 6 1 page x industry research report independently by obtaining the necessary information from various channels including WIND, annual reports of listed companies and issuer rating reports.

2. Use accurate verbs and tenses

For a senior recruiter, the English level of the applicant can be roughly judged by using verbs and tenses. Therefore, we need to pay special attention to tenses and verbs in English resumes.

Every sentence in an English resume should start with the past participle of the verb, and personal pronouns should not appear in the content of the English resume as much as possible. It is best not to repeat the verbs at the beginning of an English resume more than three times.

If you feel that your vocabulary is not enough, you can refer to the following verbs:

Accelerate? speed up

Achievement? accomplish

Did it come true? get

Activate? Stimulate, activate

Achieved? acquire

off the stocks

Earned? Get, win

Executed? carry out

Exercise

Expanded? develop

Generated? produce

Third, the content of English resume needs to pay attention to details.

Many people do not pay attention to the mistakes in details when writing English resumes, which greatly reduces the professionalism of the whole English resume. There are two main details to pay attention to in English resumes:

1. Misspelled

Spelling mistakes are the most common in English resumes, such as writing "implementation" as "implementation" or "Investment" as "investment". These spelling mistakes make the whole English resume look very unprofessional, and even it is directly eliminated in some foreign companies that require meticulousness.

2. Punctuation space error

In English resumes, spaces are required before brackets and spaces after commas. Many job seekers don't notice this in the process of writing English resumes, which will give people the impression that candidates are unfamiliar with English writing.

These are all problems that must be paid attention to in the format and content of English resumes. Finally, Super Resume wishes everyone can write professional English resumes and find ideal jobs!
