1. It is best to use a resume in the RTF file format, which is quite common. Almost all text editing software can open it. If the word format is used, what if the person who looks at your resume is too boring? Of course, we should also look at the specific requirements in the recruitment information. If there are no special instructions, we should use RTF. in addition, prepare a TXT file. Some websites ask you to post your resume. In this case, the beautifying font and grid are useless, as long as the sections are neat.
2. When you send a resume file via an email attachment, pay attention to the file name. My format is eglington_javadev_langula.rtf, that is, my name + Position + company name. The advantage is that the person who looks at the resume can retrieve your files later. Before sending it, copy a copy of The resume file, rename it, and then send the copy. At the same time, keep all copies of the files that have been sent on the hard disk, that is, use different files for each company. You can easily change your resume to meet the requirements of different companies.
3. The resume format is not as important as some articles have said. Especially for the IT industry, skill and experience are the key, and fancy resumes may not be able to make up for these two shortcomings. However, the resume must be clear and easy to read. The font size can be small, but the line spacing must be large! The title of each paragraph is separated from the content of the paragraph, and a separate line is used in bold. There must be blank lines between large paragraphs. Do not misuse the bold text in the text. Use it once or twice, for example, a rare certificate or name of a famous company.
4. All fonts must be in English when you use word to typeset! In my resume, all the fonts in a single article are in. I cannot confirm what the foreigner sees after receiving the article.
5. You do not need to limit the length of your resume. Like a novel, if it attracts you from the first page, you will not care whether it is a middle article or a long article. The key is that the first page should attract people! If the first page of your resume does not take 5 to 6 seconds, you may be able to do the job. If you have confidence in the first page and have a lot of excellent work experience, what do you fear when writing 3-4 pages?
6. My resume is written in the order of objective, summary, skills & knowledge, work experience, education, professional training, archivements, activities, and reference. Please note that objective should not always be to seek... in a dynamic and challenging environment... if you are applying for a well-established and stable Company, you need dynamic to clearly tell people that I am new and tired. If you get tired of it, you will change jobs.
7. write on the first page according to the following principle: Put the most prominent and distinctive things on the first page. Such as certificate (MCSE), work experience of famous companies, large-scale projects participated in, and special work industries such as banks and insurance companies. Each item must be a separate line. The full name and abbreviation must be entered! Do not "It certificates: CLP, scjp, ibm cse, etc.":
"-Certified Lotus Professional (CLP) on system administration and application development
-Sun Certified Java programmer (scjp)
-IBM certified solution expert (CSE): DB2 UDB admin and Appl. Dev.
"
My agent told me that "Your certificates make the difference" is very important to have a certificate! Especially when 1000 people compete with you. Work experience is more important than certificate, but before pasta, certificate is more important than experience. Do not make up the certificate. Maybe someone will ask you to copy it.
8. The next 1/3 on the first page will write your last work experience. Work experience should be detailed. It is best to list the project name and general content, user and data size, and do not write "system installation and maintenance" in general"
9. do not have any error!
10. Do not use too many special Chinese terms. Use "nationwide, provincial, citywide" to describe the scale, "863", "Green Card Project", and so on, do you think foreigners can understand it?
11. Keep the main line and do not deviate from recruitment requirements. experience outside the main line cannot affect the main line. For example, if a friend asks for a job in network management but writes VB for several years, I don't know what the benefits are.
12. For it professional, do not write things that are too easy to understand, such as using word or Excel.
