早安英文 第489期:英文简历怎么写才能脱颖而出

 Tip one: Remember, looks matter! 外貌很重要！
Use quality paper, clear typesetting and make it easy to read. 11 or 12 point font keeps it reader-friendly.
要用好的纸张，排版要简洁清楚。文字最好使用11到12号字体，看起来更舒服。
Tip two: a resume is not your autobiography¹. Save your life story for the 500-page novel and keep your resume brief.
简历并不是你的自传。不要写下500页故事，简洁一点。
Tip three: make it easy to get in touch. At the top, put your name in bold and in a bigger font. List your mailing address, email address, cell phone and Skype.
在最上方用加粗加大的字体写下自己的名字，列好自己的邮箱地址，手机号码，或者各种社交账号。

Tip four: organize the rest of your resume into three basic categories: work experience, education, and skills and interests.
把剩下的部分大致分为三块，工作经历，教育经历，技能和兴趣。
Tip five: Under work experience, list your jobs chronologically² or group them by job function. And make sure you list your work experience in a way that makes you most attractive to a potential employer.
在工作经验这一块中，按时间顺序排列，或者按工作职责分组。确保你的工作经历对于潜在雇佣者来说是有吸引力的。
Tip six: be direct and correct. Use bullet points, not lengthy³ paragraphs to detail your experience.
做到直接且正确。详述自己工作经历的时候也只需列举要点，不要写大的段落。
Tip seven: most people will only scan your resume, so your English grammar and punctuation⁴ must be absolutely flawless.
保证语法，标点绝对正确。
