简历:有什么区别吗?

Although the terms are sometimes used interchangeably, a résumé and a CV are different documents used for different purposes.

A résumé is a one- (or two-) page summary of your skills, experience, and education, usually used to apply for employment in the United States.  简明扼要, 并突出显示与你申请的工作最相关的信息.

简历(CV) 是更长(至少两页)，并提供更详细的概述你的教育和学术背景, 以及教学和科研经验, publications, presentations, awards, honors, affiliations, and other details. In Europe, the Middle East, Africa, or Asia, employers may expect to receive a CV for job applications. In the U.S.在美国，简历主要用于申请学术或研究职位. It is also applicable when applying for fellowships or grants.

Résumé overview

Basic résumé example

Formatting basics

• Limit to one page 最相关的项目放在最上面.
  
  • Use a smaller font size (11-12) and thinner margins (.5”) to fit content.
• It’s better to write résumés from scratch than to use a template.
  
  • Templates can be hard to edit and résumés should be updated frequently. Templates are also hard for Applicant Tracking Systems to read.
• Utilize bold，大写，和 italics 让它更容易阅读. 
• Start with a Qualifications 用三到六个要点来强调你能为潜在雇主带来的价值. 
• Consider splitting your experiences into two sections: Relevant Experience (related to the position to which you’re applying) and 额外的经验 (其他带薪职位、志愿者角色、项目和不直接相关的额外费用).

如何分享你的经历

• Include experiences of all kinds — paid positions, volunteer roles, 课外项目, and more.
• 专注于以下几点，向雇主展示你是如何胜任他们正在招聘的职位的:

1. What did you do? Be specific. Highlight skills that you want to bring to the new role. 
2. 你是如何运用这些技能的? Be sure to use strong action verbs to paint a clear picture. (参见 Deeper dive section below!) 
3. What was the result of using these skills or what impact did you make? 如果可以的话，使用具体的数字，并确保自己的努力得到认可!

Deeper dive: How to build an excellent résumé

How to tailor your résumé to a specific job

主人的储藏室

首先，网易彩票app建议每个人都在你的文件中保存一份主汇汇表作为Word文档. Store all your experiences from work, volunteer, and significant coursework here. 把它想象成你厨房里的食品储藏室，里面放着你所有的食材.g.面粉、糖、油等.). 这份文件会很长——你不需要把这份简历分享给任何雇主(甚至不需要打印出来)!).

具体的rsamsum =配方

然后，当你申请一个特定的职位时，把你的履历看成是一个 recipe to get that position. 在简历上，只写职位要求的经验和技能. (延伸一下厨房的比喻, a certain position might want flour and oil but no sugar, 把它去掉.)

你的头发是不是太短了?

• 考虑添加“项目工作”:你是否参加过与团队合作的课程，并在课程结束时提供演示文稿或其他可交付成果, that’s relevant to the position you’re applying for? 给自己起一个合适的头衔.g., Project Manager, Data Analyst, or Lead Designer)，并列出你所做的事情. 该组织是SPU. 这可以包括在你的 Relevant Experience section!
• 考虑添加相关课程:你学过哪些与你申请的职位相关的课程? Consider adding a list at the bottom of your Education section.

你的履历是不是太长了?

• Shorten your contact information by including your number, email, 和/或LinkedIn的URL都在一行. 用制表符或|行分隔内容.
• Check your formatting to narrow your margins (1/2 inch). 避免使用“孤儿”和“寡妇”，因为一个单词就会占用一整行文字. Use “+” to indicate “more than,” as in 200+ customers.
• 省略项目描述 额外的经验 把大部分的注意力放在你的相关经历上
• If you have a Volunteer Experience section, it may simply list the agencies or groups with which you’re involved, 不要用项目符号描述你的工作. 一长串的机构列表可能会被分成几列，用标签分开，这样六行就变成了三行.
