Preparation before the interview Section 5 Prepare personal data

? Section 5 preparing personal information. biographical notes

The fundamental function of resume is to attract the attention of the recruiting unit as much as possible, which can make the person in charge of recruitment feel excited, eager to have a look, have interest and affection for the job seeker, and readily agree to the job seeker to participate in the interview. Competition among job seekers is fierce. The more companies and positions with superior conditions, the more job seekers and high-level people. The personnel department may receive dozens or even hundreds of resumes at the same time at the end of the day, and many resumes may not attract the attention of recruiters at all. Take a look and put it aside. Therefore, you must pay special attention to what is written on your resume, so that the other person has a good impression on you, otherwise you can't expect to have any interview with the other person. Therefore, whether your resume is well written is one of the most important factors that determine whether you can get an interview.

(A) the basic requirements of the resume

Cleanliness, conciseness, accuracy and sincerity are the most basic requirements of a resume. Resumes are mostly printed to ensure that resumes are clean and tidy; The number of words should be limited to 1200 words, and one page is better to ensure that the resume is concise and the examiner can read it in two minutes or even dozens of seconds; Accuracy means that the resume uses correct words; Sincerely ask that the content in your resume can neither boast nor negatively evaluate yourself.

(2) Other requirements for resumes.

1, with appropriate format and length.

Job seekers should choose the resume that best suits their qualifications. You can choose the format that best reflects your own advantages and suits you best according to your own situation.

The length of a resume should be one page. Even if you have rich experience, you can't span two pages (except brochure resume). When writing your resume, carefully screen and sort out relevant materials according to the purpose of submitting your resume and the requirements of the other party. Anything that has nothing to do with the purpose of submitting your resume and the requirements of the other party will be deleted; Relevant content should also be clearly defined, and the rough and the fine should be removed; When writing, you should choose words and make sentences, cherish ink like gold, so that the length of the whole resume can be appropriately simplified and condensed.

2. The wording is expressive and appropriate.

Resume belongs to practical writing, and its wording has habitual requirements. Writing should not violate these requirements, but should strive to be appropriate and moderate.

Don't use the third person or the first person when writing your resume. It's best to omit the subject, or let the subject be implied in the sentence. Using sentences with hidden themes can avoid boasting and make sentences look lively and light.

The words in your resume should be as concise as possible, and you don't need to use complete sentences. Try to express your meaning in phrases. This will make your resume concise and easy to understand. Resume writing should be based on facts. Express it with an objective attitude, concrete facts and accurate data. Avoid using abstract and empty words. Exclude those modifiers with strong colors.

In short, when writing a resume, we should adhere to the principle of seeking truth from facts, neither fiction nor exaggeration. Be sure to write your true self honestly. Don't please people, don't lose faith in people, and be truly decent and gentle.

3. The handwriting is clear and accurate

Writing is an art, and a beautiful resume form can make job seekers more attractive. Be careful not to be eliminated by the employer because of the word difference. Specifically, there should be no typos, correct punctuation, and accurate style and format. If there are many obvious mistakes in a short resume, it will leave at least two bad impressions: first, your education is not high, and you may not even meet the minimum requirements of the position; Second, you didn't take this position seriously. Either way, it's enough for the other party to cross your name off the list of candidates. People who can't write beautiful words had better use computers. After printing, proofread carefully, without omissions or errors, and then make several copies for later use.

4, the organization should be clear.

Resumes don't need to be overemphasized? Literary talent? But be sure to make it clear. For example, what did you do when you first joined the work, what achievements you made, what you did later, how you did it, whether you won some kind of reward, why you are looking for a new position now, and so on. Write clearly step by step, with distinct levels.

5. Beautiful face and novel appearance

It takes a lot of time and energy to prepare a resume. We should not be stingy with paper cost and printing quality. High-quality paper will print better and ultimately improve the overall appearance of your resume.

Under normal circumstances, resume paper should be of a relatively standard size, usually a4 paper. Paper should be as hard as possible. White paper is the most ideal color, and delicate light gray and light brown are also acceptable. In short, try not to use colored paper for printing, and choose black. Black and white, easy to read.

Resume needs to be printed and cleaned, and there can be no obvious traces of modification. Resume is the first important opportunity to make a good impression, so be as clean and tidy as yourself. Clear, neat and beautiful, neat handwriting, no dirt, no alteration.

From the perspective of beauty and easy reading, the words and sentences under each main heading should be carefully arranged, and the blank lines between the main headings in the whole resume should not be too big or too small.

The typesetting and printing of your resume should be carefully designed, and you must leave enough blank space to show elegance.

The name of each item should be in a thicker font to distinguish it from the original text. In order to improve the visibility and print quality of resumes, computers and high-quality printers should be used for printing, and then the required number of copies should be printed clearly with a copier. Avoid skipping words, uneven words and traces of correction fluid. Don't distribute your photocopied and ambiguous resume everywhere, causing harm to others? Professional job seekers? In my mind.

(C) Resume writing

The first part of a resume is generally a self-introduction, which mainly includes: title, contact address and the position to be hired.

The language in this part must be concise. Introduce your strengths and advantages around the position you want to compete for, and ensure that the examiner feels that your personal qualities are consistent with the quality requirements of the position.

The main part of your resume is to state your competitive qualifications and work ability. This part is the main body, so we should choose those qualifications and abilities that are most convincing for the success of the game to describe, and avoid generalizing. There is no doubt that the tone should be positive, firm and powerful. The specific contents include: education, work experience, social activities and their achievements.

The last part of the resume is a brief description of reference materials, which usually includes academic certificates, award-winning certificates, professional and technical post certificates, recommendation letters from experts or leaders, published papers and monographs, etc.

(4) Resume FAQ

(1) There are many typos, redundant sentences or logical confusion in writing.

(2) The length is too long, which makes the examiner lose patience; The space is too short and lacks the necessary information.

(3) The conceited tone disgusted the examiner.

(4) The printing is fuzzy and irregular.

(5) The content of the statement is dishonest, and some qualities that you don't have are written on your resume.

(6) Weird or emotional. Weirdness is offensive and difficult to understand; Emotion can easily make examiners feel too erratic.

(5) Matters needing attention in writing resumes

You should draft it yourself and write your own characteristics. Don't let a professional who writes a resume write it for you. But you can ask them to make some suggestions or polish your resume.

Some people say that the resume is just bait, the purpose is to arouse the interest of the recruiting unit and win an interview opportunity for themselves. There is some truth in this sentence, but you can't fabricate facts and exaggerate your value in order to get an interview. Getting an interview opportunity is not the ultimate goal of writing a resume, but to finally succeed in the interview and get a job that suits you. One of the main functions of the interview is to test whether the candidate is worthy of the name. In the face of experienced examiners, no matter how clever a liar is, it is inevitable.

Generally, there are 3 ~ 5 references in your resume, which can be used as the inquirer or guarantor of your competitive qualification, work ability and personal situation. The recommendation letter should be authoritative, and you can choose someone who is familiar and well-known in the school or the original unit or the club you join. The address of the resume recommender must be accurate for employers to inquire. The referee should be responsible enough for you to avoid the employer taking it out on you after encountering a soft nail. Be careful not to choose your parents or relatives as references, because in the eyes of others, their guarantee is not credible.

Second, letters of recommendation.

A cover letter, also called a cover letter, is a written form of the applicant's self-image. A letter of recommendation is the first stepping stone to your ideal company. From the perspective of job hunting, a letter of recommendation is very important and should be taken seriously. The purpose of writing a cover letter, like a resume, is to attract the attention of the recruiter, gain goodwill and recognition, and strive for interview opportunities. The two have similarities in many aspects, so most of the previous suggestions on resumes can be used for reference, so I won't repeat them here. However, a cover letter is different from a resume. The cover letter is addressed to a specific individual, and the resume is addressed to a specific job; Resume mainly describes the objective situation of job seekers, while self-recommendation is to express the subjective wishes and specialties of job seekers. Compared with the resume, the cover letter should pay more attention to personal characteristics and job hunting intention, and impress the recruiter's heart, which is a concise overview and supplement to the resume. The self-recommendation letter has the nature of a personal letter and should have a certain emotional color. The writing style should be concise and fluent, rational and emotional, persuasive and infectious, so that people can believe in your qualifications, ability and character.

Both the recommendation letter and the job registration form are used to show themselves, but there are differences. The biggest difference is that the self-recommendation book gives you more space to show yourself.

(a) Format of recommendation letter

The writing of the recommendation letter does not have to be the same, but no matter how the layout is arranged, it should be clear, concise and focused. Usually, job seekers use the writing style of beginning, main part and end part.

1, beginning part

Including professional title, name, age, education, marital status, health status, contact address, job seeker, etc.

The factors to be considered in choosing a job target according to your actual situation are: major, interest, treatment, ability, education, age, gender, personality, hobbies and so on. Interest and treatment are the most important. Choose a career that is particularly popular and has a large number of job seekers. How to write career goals on your resume: The number of words for your job goals should be concise and clear, preferably no more than 40 words.

2, the main part

This part is the focus of the cover letter. You should outline the contents of your resume concisely and pertinently. Highlight your strengths and advantages, and let the other party feel that all aspects of your situation meet the requirements and characteristics of the recruitment conditions and related positions. Relevant experts summarize the specific content of writing into the following five aspects:

(1) Briefly describe your main work qualifications, work experience, social activities you have participated in and personal interests.

(2) Describe it in a mature and pragmatic tone. Don't exaggerate and blow your own horn; Provide important achievements in study and work, and prove their qualifications and abilities; Tell me about the target unit and show that you already know it and are willing to help it.

(3) State your education, work experience and personal qualities. Talk about what educational preparations you have made for this target job, that is, what education you have received is related to the qualification of the target job; Talk about your past professional training and work experience and its correlation with the target work; Prove with facts that you have the personal qualities required by the target job; Give an example to show that you have other favorable conditions for doing the target work well.

(4) Reaffirm your job-hunting motivation and briefly explain your vision for the future.

(5) After your cover letter, prompt to explain relevant appendices or attachments.

3. The last part

Most of them provide proof materials to prove their education, ability and work experience, including some supplements. For example, academic certificates, academic papers, award-winning certificates, professional and technical certificates, and letters of recommendation from experts and professors. These can be listed separately on a piece of paper.

(2) Matters needing attention in writing letters of recommendation

Handwriting a cover letter is a common practice for college students in the process of job hunting at present, which is easy to attract the attention of employers. However, if the cover letter is poorly written, the effect will be counterproductive. When writing a letter of recommendation, you should pay attention to the following points:

1, no? Hungry?

Some students are eager to find a job near graduation, so they find a phone book or enterprise address book, and randomly find some units to send letters of recommendation in a hurry. This kind? Hungry? First, the unit that received the letter of recommendation was unprepared, and it was impossible to inspect you and be skeptical in a short time; Second, I don't know much about the job-seeking unit, and it's too late to regret it after work.

2. Use a correct and accurate address.

Inappropriate appellation will appear tacky. What is the name of the female secondary school graduate in the letter to the staff of a vocational introduction center? Aunt and uncle? What is the name of the recommendation letter written by female college students to the personnel department staff of a unit? Big brother and big sister? Such a title is inappropriate, and the title of the cover letter should be formally standardized.

3. Avoid ambiguity caused by abbreviations.

When talking with friends, people are used to abbreviating their schools or majors, but this situation should be avoided in job hunting. First, the use of abbreviations is casual and not solemn enough, which may arouse readers' disgust; Second, some abbreviations can only be understood accurately in a specific place and within a specific communication range. Beyond this range, people may not know what to say or even misunderstand. Like what? Zhong Da? Guangdong people will understand that it refers to Sun Yat-sen University, but few people outside Guangdong understand its meaning. ? NPC？ 、? Chinese teacher? 、? Politics and economy? Words like that. It's easy to be misunderstood, so it's best not to use them.

4. Don't exaggerate

Job hunting is a self-promotion process. Can only write letters of recommendation? Moderate promotion is never exaggerated. Should be avoided as much as possible in the cover letter? Are you sure? 、? Are you sure? 、? The best? 、? Number one? 、? Absolutely? 、? Absolutely? 、? Promise? Words like that? Strong organizational skills? 、? Have strong activity ability? Statements like this. But there are also some job seekers who are afraid that the other party will brag and show off their versatility without using themselves, or even belittle others and raise themselves. It seems that if they don't hire him, the other party will suffer irreparable losses. This is very wrong.

5, you can't scratch your eyebrows and beard.

Some self-recommendation books are like keeping a running account. They are written wherever you think, which is illogical, does not grasp the main points, and is not targeted. It seems chaotic. This not only reflects a person's poor writing ability, but also makes the self-recommendation book itself useless. The logic, organization and clarity of language expression are the minimum requirements for writing a letter of recommendation.
