第二步，結合一封好的求職信，必須有一份好的個(gè)人簡(jiǎn)歷才能引起對方給你面試的機會(huì )。下面將簡(jiǎn)單介紹一下英美兩種不同風(fēng)格的個(gè)人簡(jiǎn)歷。
首先是傳統的英式個(gè)人簡(jiǎn)歷： www.6park.com
Why you need an excellent CV when you apply for a placement.
This is what one leading company has said about graduate application:
‘We were disappointed with the overall standard of the application we received this year. Out of the 700 applications, about 90% were badly informed, badly presented, and stood little chance of gaining the candidate even an interview,
…Applications from graduates received by this company do clearly indicate that the vast majority has no concept of presenting themselves well on paper, or of the need to stand out and attract attention even at this early stage.
…This is often little attempt to maximise the quality and achievements which the candidate has to offer, and when the application does go beyond the mere mechanical recital of biographical and academic detail, it is often only to lapse into clichéd generalities which do far more harm than good.’
以上是一段某跨國大公司對于求職個(gè)人簡(jiǎn)歷的反應。簡(jiǎn)單可以概括成很多人都不能很好地把自己的個(gè)人簡(jiǎn)歷以合理的方式編輯起來(lái)，無(wú)論你有多優(yōu)秀，一份讓人不滿(mǎn)意的簡(jiǎn)歷甚至連面試的機會(huì )都得不到。
The purpose of a c.v. is to persuade a potential employer to interview you for a job.
Your curriculum vitae (CV) is your passport to an interview and hence to securing a job. It is vital that your CV is very well presented and that the content ‘sells’ you in a positive way.
個(gè)人簡(jiǎn)歷可以說(shuō)服潛在的雇主去給你個(gè)面試的機會(huì )。
個(gè)人簡(jiǎn)歷是你通向面試，甚至是工作的護照，只有一份合理的個(gè)人簡(jiǎn)歷才能把你自己的才能展現給對方。
What we require on your CV
我們對你個(gè)人簡(jiǎn)歷的要求
There is more than one way of designing a c.v.
We have found that 2 sides of A4 paper, organised as follows, is effective for most students looking for a job:
• page 1: Neat, clear lists that summarise your academic and employment history, plus other key information such as where you can be contacted.
• page 2 A personal statement that draws the employers attention to your transferable skills, and to relevant personal qualities that would be of interest to an employer.
To start to create a good c.v in this format follow the steps below.
You will probably already have a c.v., and possibly some past personal statements and job applications. Find these and use them as resources and starting points in the steps that follow.
寫(xiě)個(gè)人簡(jiǎn)歷的方法有很多，但是一份兩頁(yè)A4紙的規格是比較合理的。
第一頁(yè)，清楚，簡(jiǎn)單介紹你的個(gè)人資料，然后學(xué)歷，以及工作經(jīng)驗。
第二頁(yè)，一段可以吸引雇主的個(gè)人簡(jiǎn)介，其他相關(guān)的技能和興趣等，最好是一些能和你申請的職位有所關(guān)聯(lián)的技能。 www.6park.com
下面再詳細介紹簡(jiǎn)歷里應該寫(xiě)進(jìn)什么資料，和用什么格式去寫(xiě)。
Step 1: Page 1 - The factual summary page
This is the easiest page, so draft it first. It will also serve as a memory jogger when you come to write the second page.
第一頁(yè)比較簡(jiǎn)單，你可以先打個(gè)草稿，想想怎么寫(xiě)。
brief personal & factual details
Please refer to the standard layout shown at the end of this document. www.6park.com
o Your name: your full name, with your surname highlighted at the top of the CV www.6park.com
o Currently studying at Northumbria University
e.g. BSc (Honors) Computing for Business, 2nd year
o Nationality: e.g. British, Irish, etc.
o Address (home): your permanent address and telephone number www.6park.com
o Address (term): only include this if its different from your home address
首先把自己的個(gè)人情況詳細寫(xiě)下來(lái)，也許不同的地方所要求的資料不一樣，但是基本的姓名，性別，年齡，聯(lián)系地址，聯(lián)系方式等資料都要寫(xiě)清楚的。
o Education: www.6park.com
o Do this in reverse order, starting with your current course.
o Give dates (e.g. 9/1997 – 6/2003)
o For your current course, list the modules you are studying and give results if known, don’t use the university codes ( e.g. Foundations of human computer interaction (65%))
o Give secondary school or college names and dates and what qualifications you obtained there. Put, for example, ‘A’ levels before GCSEs and put your best results at the front of each list. If you are short of space because you have A levels and lots of GCSEs then it is not necessary to list all GCSEs, but do mention English Language and Maths (if you’ve got them) e.g.
A level Computer Studies (B), Physics (C)
8 GCSEs including English Language (B), Mathematics (D) etc.
o It is a matter of opinion whether failed exams should be included or not, but do so if their omission would be obvious (e.g. you stayed at school until 18 but don’t appear to have taken any A levels).
學(xué)歷，寫(xiě)的時(shí)候以倒過(guò)來(lái)寫(xiě)的順序，從最近到最早，其中特別是大學(xué)時(shí)的學(xué)科要注重標明。另外時(shí)間順序也要清楚。另外分數也最好寫(xiě)上。如果你曾經(jīng)因為不及格而重讀的話(huà)，具體要看對方的要求決定是否標明，但是有一點(diǎn)，除非對方不問(wèn)，不然一定不能說(shuō)謊，誠信如果破產(chǎn)的話(huà)，就算你再有能力，在國外的公司來(lái)說(shuō)已經(jīng)是等于上了黑名單了。
o Summary of technology knowledge and experience:
o A simple list of technical things you know or will know. This is intended to allow employers to quickly check if you have any required specialist skills in advance of the job, so lay it out neatly and avoid explanations which can be made on the back of the form.
o Check with your unit tutors to find out exactly what you will be dong this year (you may have to amend this section later once you have got the teaching schemes for each unit), and add things you’ve picked up elsewhere, e.g.:
Operating systems: MS-DOS, UNIX, Windows, and Linux.
Programming languages: Visual, C++, Perl, Visual Basic, Pascal etc.
Word processing, spreadsheets, DTP
Internet tools
Databases
Unified modeling language, rapid application development, interaction prototyping
o you can talk in more depth about any technology experience or highlights from your course in your personal statement on page 2 of the CV.
總結你的各種技能，這里主要給雇主一個(gè)簡(jiǎn)單的列表讓對方可以清楚你到底有沒(méi)有他們需要的技能，與及你有沒(méi)有滿(mǎn)足職位所需求的技能。你可以在這里列出一些不輪是否正式在學(xué)校里學(xué)到的技能和技術(shù)經(jīng)驗等。
o Employment: www.6park.com
o If you have earned money from directly course-related work, list it here e.g.:
Full time-employment
Paid contracts for work such as repairing people’s computers or setting up web sites etc.
工作經(jīng)驗，你是否有和你學(xué)習專(zhuān)業(yè)相關(guān)的工作經(jīng)驗，或者和所申請的工作相關(guān)的工作經(jīng)驗等都是給你加分的條件之一，詳細列出你的工作經(jīng)驗信息，比如工作崗位，時(shí)間，工作內容等。
o other experience & training:
o A simple list part-time work, summer jobs, voluntary work etc. Shelf stacking at the supermarket on Saturdays is important (if it’s the only work you’ve done) because it shows that you are employable. And have gained valuable transferable skills.
o Include training courses even if they were just a few hours (e.g. Assistant warden, YHA, summer 2006, 2007 – 2 days “Welcome Host” customer relations training)
o This section is meant to be a brief summary to allow employers to see at a glance what previous work experience you have. If you’ve got a lot of work experience, put down only the most recent or the most relevant. (Modify the heading to “Other experience and training includes:”)
o If you have other experiences that might catch the eye, list these here e.g.:
Participant in Great North Run 2007
Drummer in a band, occasional public performances. 2005 - present.
Active member of British Red Cross. 2004 - present
Voluntary webmaster for rock climbing club. 2006-7
o Mention any languages, other than English that you speak e.g.;
Fluent in French, some German etc.
如果你沒(méi)有全職的工作經(jīng)驗，或者你沒(méi)有工作過(guò)，你有沒(méi)有其他相關(guān)的經(jīng)驗，或者參加過(guò)任何活動(dòng)，項目等，比如兼職售貨員，社會(huì )上的義務(wù)工作，一些興趣協(xié)會(huì )，能說(shuō)其他語(yǔ)言等，這些都是可以告訴雇主的經(jīng)驗。
When you have done all this you will probably have too much to fit well onto a page without it all becoming difficult to read. Keep revising and refining how you express the information and how you lay it out until it fits concisely and neatly on the page. You will probably have to miss out some of the detail you originally drafted.
當你把這些都列在草稿里的時(shí)候，盡量選擇一些重要的，對申請的工作有加分作用的經(jīng)驗，因為太多無(wú)關(guān)的東西對方不一定有耐心一一看完，并且太多的內容就會(huì )超過(guò)合理的簡(jiǎn)歷長(cháng)度。 www.6park.com
Step 2: Self assessment – gathering information for the contents of page 2
Don’t bother yet about the exact words you will use in your personal statement.
Spend some time doing and reflecting on the following in private or share ideas with your friends or family.
先不要考慮你應該具體用什么詞語(yǔ)來(lái)寫(xiě)你的個(gè)人簡(jiǎn)介，可以先和身邊的人商量一下，看看他們對你的看法，總結一下你的各方面的表現。
Write down some rough notes and answer the following questions:
下面是一些簡(jiǎn)單的問(wèn)題可以幫你總結你的表現：

雇主不會(huì )光注意你的某項技能—比如電腦技能，或者職位相關(guān)的技能，很多時(shí)候，他們也會(huì )關(guān)注你生活里相關(guān)的“可轉移”技能。
So, drawing on any previous experience from school (projects, clubs, sports, responsibilities etc.), college (similarly), work (part time jobs included), hobbies, interests, voluntary work etc., what evidence can you give that:
從你以前學(xué)校里（作業(yè)，校外活動(dòng)，興趣小組，相關(guān)的責任等），還有你的工作經(jīng)驗，愛(ài)好等的經(jīng)驗里，你有什么東西是可以證明以下的問(wèn)題?

Think especially about when you have led or helped to organise an activity. www.6park.com
Note – you may not be able to say something positive to all of the above questions, but you should make an effort. Few people have all of these qualities – you should assess your strong points and emphasise them.
你也許不能給出全部正面的回答來(lái)回答上面的那些問(wèn)題，你要做的是盡量把好的方面展現出來(lái)。
c) – personal summary
Summarising your answers to the above questions, consider:
• What are your strengths and most ‘saleable’ skills/attributes/experience? www.6park.com
• What are your weaknesses? www.6park.com
• You can leave your weaknesses out and only feature your strengths, or you can mention them, but if you do make sure you present them as challenges that you intend to do something about.
個(gè)人總結，你可以把你上面的答案總結一下，把你最有用的地方（或者說(shuō)最能推銷(xiāo)的地方）說(shuō)出來(lái)，你可以不提你的弱點(diǎn)，但是你必須清楚你的弱點(diǎn)。 www.6park.com
