如何寫英文履歷?!

Curriculum vitae (CV) 指的是個人簡歷,目的是讓人在短時間內對你個人的學/經歷一目了然。如果你包裝得當,個人簡歷會是在找工作或是申請學校時的一項利器。

我們英文CV常常有問題。 雖然我們不是 native English speakers ,但是一定需要知道 “Basic Rules on How to Write an English Resume”。 (我也第一次在美國寫CV的時候,Reviewer說很爛,因為我不知道這些Rules)

最基本的3個RULES是如下: · Use dynamic action verbs such as: accomplished, collaborated, encouraged, established, facilitated, founded, managed, etc. – Also here are other dynamic action verbs/ semi dynamic action verbs: achieved, advised, built, completed, defined, developed, documented, enforced, identified, improved, led, presented, performed, reinforced, reformed, replaced, standardized, transformed, won, etc. – NO PLAIN VERBS such as “Have/had”, “did”, etc. – Effectively use “power words” such as: success/successful/successfully, thoroughly, completely, excellent, in-depth, significantly, global, exceptional, mature, performance, etc. · Do NOT use the subject "I", use tenses in the past. Except for your present job. Example: Conducted routine inspections of on site equipment – “We” should be avoided as well – There should be NO “present tense” except for the description of your current job, project, strength, etc. · Must run “SPELL CHECK” for sure!
