3. Make your résumé and business card work overtime for you.
3. 充份利用簡(jiǎn)歷和名片
Too often, résumés chronicle your past rather than promote marketable skills that would benefit potential employers. An additional 'pre-résumé' may make more sense, says Rick Gillis, an author of two job-hunting books who devised the concept. The one-page document contains a brief objective statement that describes precise ways you will improve a particular company, he adds.
通常來說,簡(jiǎn)歷反映的是你過去的工作經(jīng)歷,而無法展現(xiàn)那些能讓潛在雇主受益的、有助于推銷你自己的技能。吉利斯(Rick Gillis)是兩本求職書籍的作者,他提出了“預(yù)簡(jiǎn)歷”的概念。他認(rèn)為,在簡(jiǎn)歷中附加一份“預(yù)簡(jiǎn)歷”會(huì)更有說服力,在這一頁(yè)紙上寫下簡(jiǎn)短、客觀的陳述,描繪出你將為應(yīng)聘的這家公司做出怎樣的貢獻(xiàn)。
A pre-résumé also includes highlights of four career accomplishments-plus a string of key words (such as 'multi-task professional') that get detected by resume-tracking software.
預(yù)簡(jiǎn)歷還應(yīng)當(dāng)突出你四項(xiàng)工作成就──以及眾多會(huì)引起簡(jiǎn)歷跟蹤軟件關(guān)注的關(guān)鍵詞(比如“可勝任多種崗位的專業(yè)人士”)。
An online résumé offers another approach. You can show work samples, references' video testimonials and any data that may demonstrate successes in your career, such as surpassing sales targets.
網(wǎng)上簡(jiǎn)歷還可以添加其他的內(nèi)容:你可以展示自己的作品樣本,推薦人的視頻推薦,以及任何可以展示你事業(yè)成就的數(shù)據(jù)資料,比如超標(biāo)完成銷售額。
It's equally important that your business card convey a memorable first impression. List your strongest skills or highest degree right under your name. But omit your physical address to appear flexible about relocation. Don't overlook the reverse side of your card. Rather than leave it blank, you can display the name of a prominent prior employer.
你的名片同樣也很重要,名片可以給人留下深刻的第一印象。在你的名字下方列出你最突出的技能或是最高學(xué)位。不要寫聯(lián)系地址,以表明你隨時(shí)可以更換工作地點(diǎn)。千萬不要忽視了名片的背面,不要讓背面一片空白,可以在這里寫下你曾經(jīng)效力過的最有實(shí)力的那家公司的名稱。
