職場英語：12個要點讓簡歷更出色

Rather than just trying to initially compose a document in résumé format, it is often very helpful to first create a background document you might think of as a well of information from which to draw. To get organized, begin by creating topic headings for each of the sections of the résumé: Professional Experience, Skills, Education, Certifications & Training, Volunteer / Community Activities。

比起僅僅開始創(chuàng)建簡歷格式的文件，先創(chuàng)建你可能想到的背景文件和可能引用的信息會比較有用。要想有條理，首先給簡歷每一板塊寫上標(biāo)題：職業(yè)經(jīng)歷、技能、教育、證書&培訓(xùn)、志愿者/社區(qū)活動。

Compose bullet points where you highlight each of your major accomplishments. And fill them in with a longhand version of what you did, how you did it and what happened because of your activity。

撰寫你要著重突出的主要成就，用曲折手法寫出你做了什么，你是怎么做的，你的行動導(dǎo)致了什么結(jié)果。

Don’t worry about conforming to the space limitation of a page or two in this private document. Just pour out your story on to several pages, and then you will be able to cull the highlights for your finished product. Moreover, having thought about and articulated your experiences you will also have taken an important step forward in preparing stories to tell when you get to interviewing for coveted roles。

不要擔(dān)心字數(shù)限制，別管文件是一頁還是兩頁。然后你可以選出寫出的內(nèi)容中的重點部分。此外，要想到把你的經(jīng)歷連貫起來，你可以在競爭夢寐以求的職位的面試中準備好要講的故事上邁出關(guān)鍵的一步。

In each section or bullet point of your résumé well, answer these questions as best you can:

在每個部分或者是簡歷每個重點上，盡你所能地回答這些問題：

1. How did you get this job? What does the company do? Who buys its products or services?

1. 你怎么得到這份工作的?公司是干嘛的?購買商品或者服務(wù)的都是哪些人?

2. What are your major responsibilities? What have been the biggest challenges you faced in accomplishing them? What did you do, and how did it turn out? What resulted from your actions?

2. 你的主要職責(zé)是什么?工作中面對的重大挑戰(zhàn)是什么?你怎么做的，最后結(jié)果怎樣?你的行動導(dǎo)致什么后果?

3. What are you most proud to have accomplished in this role?

3. 你在職位上完成的最值得驕傲的成就有哪些?

4. How have you saved your employer time or increased productivity?

4. 你如何節(jié)約雇主的時間、增加效率?

5. What have you done, to increase sales or revenue for your employer? How did you go about doing it? What tools, skills, knowledge or software did you utilize?

5. 你為了幫雇主增加銷售或者收益做過什么?你怎么做的?用了什么工具、技巧、只是或者軟件?

6. What have you done, and how did you do it, to decrease costs or expenses for your employer? Again, what tools, skills, knowledge or software did you utilize?

6. 你做過什么，怎么做讓雇主的支出費用下降?同樣，用了什么工具、技巧、只是或者軟件?

7. How have your accomplishments in this role stacked up against others in your department, company or industry?

7. 你在職的成就和你同部門、同公司、同行業(yè)的人比起來如何?

8. Why is your employer better off because you were hired?

8. 為什么你被雇傭?qū)椭鞲?

9. What did you start or set up that became a model for others to copy in other locations or companies?

9. 你怎么成為他人在各自崗位或者公司里學(xué)習(xí)的榜樣?

10. How did you make life easier for your boss, your peers or others with whom you worked?

10. 你如何讓你的老板、同事的生活更輕松?

11. How are you viewed by your boss, peers and those you supervise?

11. 你的老板、同事和你的下屬怎么看你?

12. What is your reputation among your vendors, customers or clients? Why do they have this opinion of you?

12. 你在供應(yīng)商、顧客、客戶中名聲如何?為什么他們這樣看你?

Your résumé well will likely turn out to be several pages long. Then, you can draw from it the main substance and ideas that emerge from your self-reflection。

你的簡歷很可能會有好幾頁。然后，你可以從中選出你自我審視中出現(xiàn)的主要內(nèi)容和想法。

Once you've completed this preliminary document and are ready to write the résumé itself, determine for yourself the overall impression of what you want to create in the mind of your reader. With this in mind, go back to highlight all the things that you’ve written that will contribute to someone coming to the conclusion you seek. Now you are well underway to figuring out what to include in the bullet points you will be fashioning。

一旦你完成了這份初步文件，準備好要寫簡歷之后，決定你想要給讀者創(chuàng)造出的整體印象。記住這一點，返回去加亮所有能夠讓人得出你想要的結(jié)論的地方?，F(xiàn)在你非常清楚你寫出的要點里要包括什么內(nèi)容了。

Bear in mind, employers are ultimately far less concerned about reading a listing of your current and former job descriptions than coming to understand how you have fulfilled your responsibilities in a way that sets you apart from everyone else. That is why each bullet point should be in what professional résumé writers call a STAR format that conveys succinctly your Situation, Task, Action and Results。

牢牢記住，雇主不關(guān)心你列出的現(xiàn)在和之前的工作描述，他們關(guān)心的是你完成你的職責(zé)的方式，這點把你和其它人區(qū)別開來。這就是為什么每個要點都必須是用職業(yè)簡歷寫手所說的STAR格式寫的，簡明扼要的介紹你的情況(S)、任務(wù)(T)、行動(A)和結(jié)果(R)。

When you go about the task of résumé creation this way, you will create a document that will interest its readers to invest far more than the six to 10 seconds they give to your competition。

當(dāng)你這么撰寫簡歷的時候，你會寫出一份讓讀者有花上6-10秒更多的時間來閱讀的興趣的簡歷，從而給你競爭的機會。
