How to make an excellent resume for job hunting?

Resume, as the name implies, is a short resume, the biggest feature is simple and clear, to the point, it is enough to introduce your background, ability and job hunting intention clearly. For designers, there may be a little design in it. So how to do a good job resume? Below I sorted out the job hunting and writing methods there for your reference!

How to make an excellent resume for job hunting?

First, the writing of resume

1, about basic information

After the recruitment information is sent out, the company will receive a large number of resumes in a short time. If your information is vague and complicated, it is likely to be screened out by the personnel department soon. They don't have much time and energy to summarize useful content from the information you provided.

Name, major and contact information, etc. Must indicate, at the same time, gender (some students worry about gender discrimination will choose not to indicate, but there is no special requirement), age, graduation institution, political outlook, job hunting intention, etc. You can label it according to your own needs.

The content of unnecessary labeling should be decided according to actual needs. Take political views as an example. If you are party member, and you are going to compete for the post in the party and government organs, then labeling will be very advantageous. If you want to compete with foreign companies, party member's identity will bring unnecessary trouble.

For the fledgling students, it is often difficult to write the intention of job hunting, but you need to do more homework and understand the organizational setup and job information of the invested enterprises. If you can clearly show your intention to apply for a job, it will reduce the burden on HR and increase the chance of being left behind.

If you are beautiful and handsome, you can naturally post photos (don't use photos with excessive PS), but if you are not so confident about your appearance, the following illustrations are also a good choice.

2. About professional background

Here belongs to the scope of ability, try to convey your professional level in a simple and intuitive way, such as foreign language level (high score can be marked), computer and other professional skills level, software or hand-drawn operation level.

For design students, it is suggested to indicate the level of software operation ability, which means reducing training costs for enterprises. Of course, you should truthfully mark the professional software and level you are good at, otherwise once you make a fool of yourself and get hired, it will affect the integrity evaluation of leaders and colleagues;

In addition, don't underestimate this resume. The design of resume is also the embodiment of the applicant's design skills. If you want to apply for a design position, your resume is sloppy and it is normal to be brushed off. Regardless of ability, your attitude seems to be very low.

3. About the practical background

Some enterprises will attach great importance to social practice (internship) experience. Practical background means that your professional ability has been applied to specific operations, and enterprises will feel that you can bring me benefits immediately, which is very attractive.

The writing suggestions here are described with a timeline, for example,

2015-03-01~ 2015-06-30, XXX design co., ltd., graphic designer,

-Participate in the design and production of XXX project (which has been put on the market) of XX company, and act as an illustrator;

20 15-07-0 1~ Now, Guangzhou Yizhi Industrial Design Co., Ltd., a graphic designer,

—— Participated in the design and production of XXX project of XX Company under Yangcheng Evening News (put into the market) and served as XXX;

This will increase the authenticity of your resume. Simply listing some practical information is enough. Too much will make people feel deliberate, and too much text will occupy the layout.

4, about the results, reward background

Choose the achievements or awards that have influence and reflect the ability, and carefully fill in the content that has nothing to do with the competitive position, not the lack.

Rewards during school can be marked at or above the school level;

There is no need to list the awards before the university;

If there are scientific research achievements or patented inventions, it is best to clearly indicate the time and name, which author and other information;

It is suggested that the team award should clearly indicate the winning name, time and role.

5. Other information

The content is a supplement to the resume, which can fill in the gaps in form, and can be supplemented by a cover letter, motto or self-evaluation.

Regarding the cover letter, if the company you are applying for is a small-scale recruitment, and the recruiter will have the patience to read your resume, then you can write a simple cover letter, which will roughly explain your job hunting intention and competitive position, and the recruiter will think that you value this opportunity more, thus increasing the chances of being selected;

Regarding the motto, choose the one that can describe your good personality characteristics, such as? Eat a little bitter, and you will become a master? What if you write such inspirational words? Go your own way and let others talk? It will make enterprises feel that you are more self-centered and unsociable;

About self-introduction, 70% are advantages and 30% are disadvantages. According to different job requirements, we can highlight the advantages of team spirit, innovative spirit and strong learning ability. For shortcomings, you can write about those that can be corrected with your heart, such as carelessness and slow digestion of knowledge. Such a comprehensive introduction will make the enterprise feel that you are very? Honesty? .

Second, the arrangement of investment portfolio.

This is a headache for many students. I have received 800Mb of works, PSD, AI, CDR and even 3dm files. This is also because of my kindness, so I will download them to show my respect. The normal company process doesn't even have a chance to open the work, so I need to pay more attention to the arrangement of the work.

1, the right medicine

Choose different works to present according to different positions. For example, this time I applied for the position of illustrator, and you can put the works that show your illustration ability in your portfolio. I know you are good at 3D, and I know your AE may be good, but these are not the most important things in this position.

2. Lack is better than abuse.

In the collection of works I received, some students put in all the works they copied when they first learned PS. These so-called works can't reflect your professional ability at all, but they will make people feel that your ability is just a little bit, and you don't even have the ability to choose;

Step 3 respect each other

Please respect those employees who are willing to spend time reading your resume and portfolio. They may become your colleagues in the future. If you send some random photos with different formats and different names, it will make people who filter resumes very painful. I'd rather choose a candidate with clear file name, uniform format and moderate size, but with average work, than send it casually? Big move? As a colleague;

4. Highlight professionalism

Make clear your career orientation. As a designer, make sure that your resume looks designed. Whether it's layout, color or copy, let people see that you have spent time and energy on it.

At present, most people submit resumes and portfolios online, but for those who have just graduated or have been engaged in a design work, they should have a portfolio of their own, and at the same time, they should constantly update the iterative design, and have at least one physical version of the portfolio at hand, and print it in better paper color. The design on paper is much more realistic than that on the computer.

Three. Resume/portfolio delivery

If you have certain webpage ability or economic ability, you can set up your own website or work homepage (lofter is actually good);

If there is no online display channel, please be sure to send it in the format of PDF, picture or compressed package less than 20Mb, and never use hundreds of megabytes of oversized files or single picture to send it unpacked! Be sure to clearly mark the name of the attachment;

Be sure to fill in the subject of the email, such as? XXX applied for XX position in XXX company? The text in the email format should be carefully written, the signature should be polite and polite, and the personal contact information should be indicated to facilitate the screening and sorting of colleagues in the personnel department;

This is the subject name of some emails I received, which really makes people laugh and cry.

And this. What's the theme? Haha? , the text is? Hello? , the attachment is? Resume? .

It is a cliche to say so much. The designer just wants to remind everyone that many times opportunities are really reserved for those who are prepared, depending on how you grasp them. A resume can reflect many problems. I just hope you don't be too perfunctory about things that will affect your life path if you don't pay attention. Society is cruel, and no one will spend a lot of time reading your irregular resume. Seize the opportunity and don't let your job experience leave regrets.
