染雾篇一：How to write the Resume
A well-written resume is crucial in securing job interviews and ultimately landing your dream job. It is the first impression a potential employer has of you, so it is important to make it stand out. Here are some tips on how to write an effective resume:
1. Start with a clear objective: Begin your resume with a concise and specific objective that highlights your career goals and what you can bring to the company. This will give the employer a clear understanding of your intentions and how you can contribute to their organization.
2. Tailor your resume to the job description: Customize your resume to match the requirements and skills mentioned in the job description. Highlight your relevant experience, skills, and achievements that align with the position you are applying for. This will show the employer that you have the qualifications they are looking for.
3. Use a professional format: Choose a clean and organized format for your resume. Use headings and bullet points to make it easy to read and navigate. Use a professional font and keep the layout consistent throughout the document. Avoid using excessive colors or graphics that may distract from the content.
4. Highlight your achievements: Instead of just listing your job responsibilities, focus on your accomplishments in each role. Use specific examples and quantify your achievements whenever possible. This will demonstrate your ability to deliver results and make a positive impact in your previous roles.
5. Include relevant keywords: Many employers use applicant tracking systems (ATS) to scan resumes for specific keywords. Research the keywords related to the job you are applying for and incorporate them naturally into your resume. This will increase your chances of passing the initial screening process.
6. Keep it concise: A resume should ideally be one to two pages long. Keep the information relevant and concise, focusing on your most recent and impactful experiences. Avoid including unnecessary details or outdated information. Use bullet points to highlight key information and make it easier for the employer to scan your resume.
7. Proofread and edit: Before submitting your resume, carefully proofread it for any errors or typos. Ask someone else to review it as well, as they may catch mistakes that you missed. Edit your resume to ensure that it is clear, concise, and error-free.
Remember, your resume should be a reflection of your skills, experiences, and qualifications. By following these tips, you can create a compelling resume that will help you stand out from the competition and increase your chances of getting hired.
篇二：How to write the Cover Letter
A cover letter is an essential part of your job application and provides an opportunity to showcase your personality, enthusiasm, and qualifications to a potential employer. Here are some tips on how to write an effective cover letter:
1. Address it to the right person: Whenever possible, address the cover letter to a specific person. Research the company or organization to find out the name and title of the hiring manager or the person responsible for recruitment. This personal touch shows that you have taken the time to do your homework.
2. Start with a strong opening: Begin your cover letter with a strong and attention-grabbing opening sentence. This could be a personal anecdote, a relevant quote, or a brief summary of your qualifications and why you are interested in the position. Make sure to tailor this opening statement to the specific job you are applying for.
3. Showcase your qualifications: Use the cover letter to highlight your most relevant qualifications, skills, and experiences that make you a strong candidate for the position. Provide specific examples and explain how your skills and experiences align with the job requirements. This will demonstrate your ability to contribute to the company's success.
4. Show enthusiasm and passion: Express your enthusiasm for the position and the company. Explain why you are interested in the role and how it aligns with your career goals. This will show the employer that you are genuinely interested in the opportunity and motivated to contribute to their organization.
5. Keep it concise and focused: A cover letter should ideally be one page long and to the point. Avoid repeating information from your resume and focus on the most relevant aspects of your qualifications. Use clear and concise language, and avoid using jargon or industry-specific terms that the employer may not be familiar with.
6. Proofread and edit: Before submitting your cover letter, carefully proofread it for any errors or typos. Check for grammatical and spelling mistakes, and ensure that the formatting is consistent throughout. Ask someone else to review it as well, as they may catch mistakes that you missed.
7. End with a strong closing: Conclude your cover letter by expressing your interest in further discussing your qualifications and how you can contribute to the company. Thank the employer for considering your application and provide your contact information. Sign off with a polite and professional closing.
A well-written cover letter can significantly increase your chances of getting an interview. By following these tips, you can create a compelling cover letter that highlights your qualifications and captures the attention of potential employers.
How to write the Resume&Cover Le 篇三
How to write the Resume&Cover Letter
AA: I'm Avi Arditti with Rosanne Skirble and this week on Wordmaster, advice on getting a job.RS: It's a question several listeners have asked us, so we turned to a human resources consultant for answers.
AA: Sharon Armstrong runs a company that helps people find jobs. She says the first step is to draft a short resume -- no more than two pages.
ARMSTRONG: "It should be customized to the company or position you're going for. By that I mean it should use the lingo of the industry. It should be clear and targeted, easy to read, on good bond paper, and it should be perfect. There should be no spelling and no grammar mistakes. So you should use spell check and then have two or three friends at a minimum review it before you send it out."
RS: "You say 'customized.' How do you know that language, the language of the company?"
ARMSTRONG: "If it isn't your industry, you talk to people, you do informational interviews, you read their reports, you get your hands on everything that you can that would give you any type of information that will lead you to a good cover letter and resume."
RS: "How do you structure a resume? What sections are necessary in a resume?"
ARMSTRONG: "I think the first thing that I'm seeing in a lot of good resumes, the very first area that you would have, is called a qualifications summary, where you identify three or four important skills that you have that will be appealing to the new employer."
AA: "Give us an example."
ARMSTRONG: "I actually wrote one. Let's say someone is going for a project manager job. The summary up at the very top would read: 'Project manager skilled at coordinating complex information management projects; proven ability to develop and maintain client relationships; proficient at negotiating vendor contacts; particularly adept at analyzing information for patterns and trends and summarizing complex issues concisely; can-do attitude.'
"So in the first couple of seconds an employer is going to read the top of that and then they're going to know whether they should continue to read. So you want to grab them right away with something strong."
RS: "What other sections should follow?"
ARMSTRONG: "Right after the qualifications summary, I would do work experience, unless you just recently completed a degree, in which case you want to probably highlight your education. But I would do the experience, then the education, then skills -- either computer skills or interpersonal skills -- and then a tag line at the bottom about references, just to kind of close it and end it."
AA: "Should you include references, or do you just put the standard 'references upon request.'"
ARMSTRONG: "I would put the standard, quite honestly, because again this is the resume first going out, you don't know even if there's interest."
AA: "Let's talk a little bit about a cover letter."
ARMSTRONG: "Should be no more than one page, it should be addressed to a specific person. It shouldn't be a 'to whom it may concern.' So you should have title for the person and the correct spelling of their name -- people are very sensitive about that -- and the company name correctly spelled as well. In the cover letter you should come right to the point, identify the position that you're interested it, how you heard about it."
AA: "Now what are some things to avoid?"
ARMSTRONG: "Ones that go on and on, two or three pages -- avoid that. Ones that reiterate what's in the resume."
AA: "Do you begin with 'greetings' -- what works?"
ARMSTRONG: "I think you go right to the point: 'Dear Mister Smith, I recently heard of your opening,' and then you go on. In fact, I did bring a sample one for you: 'I'm applying for the Web developer position that was advertised in the local paper this week. The position seems to fit very well with my education, experience and career interests. Your position requires skills in various types of programming and software used in Web development. My academic program in computer studies emphasized ... '
"And then you go on to indicate exactly what is targeted, not only in your academic program but also in your work experience. 'My enclosed resume provides more details on my qualifications. My background and career goals seem to match your job requirements well. I'm confidant that I can perform the job effectively.'
"And then (add) a little assertiveness at the end. Telling me they're going to give me a call, asking me specifically or an interview, telling me in clear terms how to reach them and when to reach them, either by e-mail or by phone, and good times to reach them. And I would also customize it by doing some research about the company, so that each letter cannot be just a cookie-cutter approach. It has to be a specific letter to that specific company. People rarely do that, and it makes such a difference."
AA: "And the language to use -- plain, simple English?"
ARMSTRONG: "That's a good point, Avi, because people will write it in a very stilted way that they would never talk. It's so odd, you know, 'attached please find my ... ' You say 'enclosed is my resume.' Or just something that is a normal way that you would talk."
