What should I write in my resume?

What should I write in my resume

Generally speaking, a complete resume should include the following eight parts:

1. Basic personal information

1. Name: required. There seems to be no doubt about it. You have to let HR people know who you are, otherwise you will be interviewed and don't know what to call you. We have done this well, and we have never met anyone who forgot to write his name. Of course, for a person who forgets to write his name, HR people are absolutely afraid to hire him. The reason is very simple. Even if he can forget his own name, what else can he not forget?

2. gender: it is best to write. Most girls don't write gender in their resumes, probably because they are afraid of being discriminated against, but most HR can tell the gender from their names. Even if your name is neutral, it will still be exposed in the interview. If the employer will discriminate against the gender, the chances of getting a job are relatively small. Therefore, it is better to indicate the gender.

3. Age: It doesn't matter, you can write if you want, and it doesn't matter if you don't want to write. Generally speaking, the newly graduated college students are not much older. Besides, HR people don't check their hukou, but some graduate students may be older when they graduate, and they are often discriminated against by age because they are 35 years old. It is suggested that these graduates don't write their ages, otherwise they will deny other advantages because of their age, and even have no chance to interview.

4. Education, degree and major: it must be marked, which is one of the key words that HR people pay most attention to.

5. Political outlook: It depends. If it's not party member, generally don't write; If it is party member, when delivering large state-owned enterprises and institutions, it must be noted that these units still attach great importance to whether it is party member. Therefore, under the same conditions, party member has an absolute advantage, but when delivering foreign enterprises or private enterprises, it has little impact.

6. Height and weight: As the case may be, it is generally not necessary to write unless your height and weight can give you extra points. Looking for a job is not a beauty pageant. Most jobs do not require the height and weight of the incumbent. Moreover, for some people whose height and weight are not very standard, exposing some irrelevant information prematurely is likely to make you lose the opportunity to show your other advantages. The reason is simple. Job seekers can't clearly know the selection criteria of HR, so try to show your advantages and eliminate interference in your resume. Of course, if the job requirements clearly indicate the height and weight requirements, or if you are looking for a job similar to a model or a flight attendant, you must specify the height and weight.

7. contact information: you must have it. Without contact information, HR people can't contact you. How can they receive an interview notice? Nowadays, mobile phones have been basically popularized. Therefore, it is advisable to leave your personal mobile phone number in your resume, and pay attention to keeping mobile phone calls open so as not to miss the call notification from HR. Regarding the location of contact information, many people like to put it in the front, while HR suggests that it can be put in the back, because no recruiter is interested in your contact information as soon as he comes up, so it is better to put important information in the front.

In addition, there are some graduates whose physical condition will be stated on their resumes, often with two words: good and not necessary. At present, most enterprises will organize their employees to have some routine physical examinations before signing formal contracts with their employees, and this part does not need to be reflected in their resumes.

Second, the intention to apply for a job

The column of the intention to apply for a job is very difficult to write for two reasons. First, the fresh graduates have not participated in the work and have no deep understanding of the work. Many graduates have no clear concept of what they can and want to do when writing their resumes. Second, the resumes of recent graduates are not targeted. Many people's resumes are one-stop, and there are countless positions written on their job hunting intentions, and some positions span a lot without any connection. This is actually a confusing practice. It seems like a generalist who can do everything, but there is no clear purpose. HR people don't know what you can do. This mentality of job seekers is understandable. There are actually two ways to solve this problem. One is to clarify your own purpose, you can see what your brothers and sisters do, have a general understanding, and then choose according to your own interests. The other way is to prepare several different resumes, each with only one job intention, and all the other contents of your resume are written around this theme, so that your resume will look more interesting.

It is also very important for graduates to remember that it is good to have ideals and ambitions. However, when a company hires graduates, it usually starts from the grass-roots level. Therefore, don't write too much about the job-hunting intention. Try to choose some grass-roots positions, and write positions like strategic management and manager at the beginning of the job-hunting intention, which will make HR think that you are ambitious. For such an important event, it is better to give it to those leaders or experienced people.

In addition, HR revealed that many large enterprises rarely look at job seekers' job-seeking intentions when recruiting fresh graduates. In the eyes of enterprises, graduates are extremely flexible. After a graduate is hired, enterprises will conduct induction training and transform graduates into talents needed by enterprises in practical work. Therefore, they generally pay little attention to graduates' job-seeking intentions.

III. Educational background/study experience

There is nothing to say about this, just two points: First, some graduates will write about their middle school study, which is unnecessary, just start from the university, unless your resume is really empty; Second, some graduates may have participated in some relevant skills training at school, and these training experiences should also be written in their resumes.

Fourth, work experience/social practice

Generally speaking, fresh graduates have little work experience, so HR people don't emphasize this point very much in the recruitment process. As for social practice, you can write down your internship or other experiences at school, such as being a minister in the student union, what you have done, what you have done and what you have achieved. In the process of writing, you must mainly write in detail, instead of just saying roughly, for example, I am the life minister of the student union and organized a debate contest in the department. This is not very detailed, but you should simply say what you have done and what role you have played in the debate contest.

remember, this part of your resume can't be randomly compiled. You think it's flawless, but the interviewer can often reveal you in a few words.

The most common situation is that some graduates will write down that they are cadres of the Student Union, and rarely see those who have never worked, which will make HR doubt the authenticity. However, there are some exceptions. Some HR once came across a resume and attached a certificate of employment of a student union cadre. This is not to say how high the gold content of this certificate is. At least the seal of the student union is much more credible than empty talk.

In addition, you should focus on your work experience or social practice, instead of grasping your beard and eyebrows at the same time. You should write something that is personally important. You should write it first, with clear priorities.

V. Courses

Graduates are often just listing the courses they have studied, which is not organized, and HR people look messy and annoying. It is suggested that graduates should classify their courses. For example, students in management departments can classify their courses into management, marketing, accounting, finance, economics and so on, so that HR can see your courses at a glance and be more targeted.

In addition, when graduates list courses, they should pick out the courses related to the position they are applying for, instead of writing down all the courses they have learned.

VI. Computer and foreign language proficiency

Generally speaking, enterprises do not require graduates to pass the computer level. Even if they pass the computer level, it is not necessarily how good the computer is, not to mention that many contents of the computer level examination are not used at all at work. Therefore, as long as you list some commonly used office software in your resume, including WORD, EXCEL and PPT, you can use it skillfully.

Foreign language proficiency is indicated as CET-4 or CET-6. When many graduates write English proficiency, the common word is good listening, speaking, reading and writing skills. In fact, this is a very vague concept. If possible, you should be more specific, such as being able to communicate freely with foreigners or winning any prize in a certain competition, which will make you more competitive and let HR people better understand how good you are.

VII. Awards/Certificates/Scientific Research Achievements

All the awards, such as scholarships and outstanding cadres, should be written down.

Some certificates will increase the chances of getting an interview, which is why many students are keen on textual research. Some certificates may not be obtained in one test, such as the note meeting. Some students think that they can't write on their resumes without obtaining certificates. In fact, this is wrong. You can write on your resumes the subjects you have passed, and don't inadvertently erase your advantages.

Scientific research achievements, just list graduation papers or published articles. Enterprises generally don't expect graduates to have any scientific research achievements.

Eight, specialties/hobbies

Many graduates will list many words here, for example, cheerful personality, enthusiasm for others, careful work, high efficiency, hard work, strong organizational skills, etc., to highlight their Excellence, but in fact, HR people basically don't read these special words. If you want to attract HR people's attention, you might as well just pick a few words and give a simple example behind these words to prove it. For example, if you say that you have strong organizational skills, you can say that you independently organized a certain activity, which received a good response in the department and was praised by the school. Work-related specialties must be written. For example, if you say that your writing level is good, HR people may mistakenly think that you are a master of writing prose and poetry, which will not help you much at work, but if you state that you are very good at writing practical writing and various reports, it will be simple and clear; In addition, it is best not to write about specialties and hobbies that have nothing to do with the position, such as various ball games and singing, etc. These specialties and hobbies need to be displayed in your work in the future, not in your resume. If you write too much, your resume will have no focus.

after writing the above eight parts, it is basically a complete resume. If the text content can be smooth, concise, clear and focused, it can be regarded as an excellent resume. The following parts can be considered according to the actual situation:

First, an English cover letter and an English resume should be attached. Although not all units have higher requirements for English, they are not overwhelmed by many skills. An excellent English resume will be more convincing than "good English listening, speaking, reading and writing skills" and better demonstrate English ability. However, it should be noted that many graduates' English resumes are not very clever, but they simply translate Chinese resumes, and many of them are even translated casually with translation software, which is very blunt. Such English resumes can't add points for you, or even pass. Therefore, the most basic thing for an English resume is that there should be no spelling mistakes or grammatical mistakes. Don't simply translate a Chinese resume. You'd better find someone who knows English to help polish it.

followed by school recommendation letters and transcripts. Many HR think that the recommendation letter is nothing more than a blank piece of paper with the official seal of the school. The content in it is basically written by the students themselves, and the credibility is not great. It doesn't matter whether it is attached or not. Of course, it would be best if your department tutor is willing to write a real recommendation letter for you. The report card can let HR people know the students' learning attitude and efforts from the side. If they have good grades during their studies, high grade points and high rankings, they must be attached and marked in a prominent position on their resumes. If their grades are average, they can be attached or not. If they have a history of failing the make-up exam during their college years, they must not be attached.

again, copies of various certificates. Generally, there is no need to attach it unless the enterprise explicitly requests it. General enterprises will require employees to show the original relevant certificates after the interview or when reporting, which is more convincing than the copy.

As for others, such as school profile and professional introduction, it is even more unnecessary. If you study in an institution such as Peking University and Tsinghua, it is generally known that other institutions, if HR doesn't understand it, will ask in the interview. If you speak your school very well, but most people haven't heard it, your speech will be difficult to convince, and it may even affect others' judgment on the authenticity of your resume.

To sum up, the matters that should be paid attention to when writing a resume are summarized as follows:

1. Keep your resume simple, one or two pages is enough, don't attach unimportant things, be innovative in format, and don't let HR feel like filling out a form.

2. Resume should highlight the key points, and the information that you want to convey most must be highlighted so that HR can see it at a glance.

3. Check and check again. There should be no obvious word and sentence errors in your resume.

4. Speak with facts and write less empty words. ;
