隨著科技進步，履歷表的呈現方式，和該放入哪些要項，也隨著時代變數和機動性提高而有所變化。定期審視、重新編修履歷對於找工作的成敗，可說是扮演著舉足輕重的角色。進入本文前，請先想想以下單字：
a) 過氣的
b) 精簡 c) 令人注目 Resumes, like many other marketing materials, have an expiration date. Your resume is a reflection of you – and you don’t want recruiters thinking you’re a) outdated because your document is. Here’s how to know if your resume needs an update. 履歷表，就像促銷宣傳品一樣，都是有「保存期限」的。履歷表反映出你個人－你一定不希望面試官認為你呈現的履歷過時，而認為你本人也是如此。以下教你檢視履歷表是否需要大改造了。 It’s become too long An eye-tracking study found that the average recruiter spends only six seconds reviewing a resume before deciding if 1) it’s worth a closer inspection. Remember, your resume should always highlight the skills, experience, and accomplishments that are most relevant to your job goals. 太冗長了 一項眼動追蹤實驗發現，一名面試官平均在每份履歷表上只花六秒鐘，就可決定是否值得進一步瞭解求職者。記住，履歷表應該精簡並著重在和工作目標相關的技能、經驗和成就。 You want employers to call home In this mobile age, it’s more important than ever to be accessible whenever a recruiter wants to contact you. As a result, I recommend that you list your cell phone number. 只留了家裡電話 這個機動性的世代，讓面試官能夠隨時聯絡到你是再重要不過的了。因此，我建議你在履歷表上務必填上手機號碼。 You haven’t included the URL to your professional profile According to a Jobvite survey, 93 percent of recruiters 2) are likely to look at a job candidate’s social profile. Include the URLs to your online professional profiles so recruiters don’t have to guess or mistake you for someone else. Make sure your online profiles and resumes tell the same story so you don’t send mixed messages to the recruiter. 沒有附上專業履歷網址 根據Jobvite的調查，百分之93的面試官有相當高的可能會查看求職者的社群檔案。附上專業履歷的網址，可以讓面試官省下時間猜測或誤認。千萬確保線上履歷和紙本內容一致，以免傳遞錯誤訊息給面試官。 Your resume has an objective instead of a professional summary Use the space to sell your job candidacy by giving the HR your elevator pitch.In three to five sentences, explain what you’re best at, most interested in, and how you can provide value to a prospective employer. 著重描寫你的職涯目標，好過只是自我介紹 善用有限的空間，以簡潔和具說服力的方式秀出最好的一面和工作能力。利用三到五個句子向你未來的雇主解釋你的專長、興趣和你在工作上可以提供的價值。 Keep your resume c) concise Avoid dense blocks of text or long bulleted lists. The key is to format the information in a way that makes it easy to scan quickly to recognize your job goals and relevant qualifications and achievements. 精簡履歷 避免密集冗長的段落，或落落長的條列清單。履歷的成功關鍵在於如何將你的工作目標以及求職相關的資格、成就等資訊能快速地在被審閱時一目了然。 You’ve included too much of the past Employers are especially interested in your most recent experience and how that ties back to their open position’s requirements. 花太多篇幅寫太久遠的事 雇主通常都會特別在意你最近的經歷，以及這些經驗是否與他們的職缺契合。 You’re still putting “references upon request” Employers are well aware that you’ll provide them with reference, should they ask for them during the interview process. Save the space for the information that is most c) compelling. 你還在多此一舉用“如有要求，可提供推薦函” 雇主們都知道在面試時只要問你，你一定會提供推薦信。請節省履歷上的空間，放上最吸引人的資訊吧！ 口語詞彙： 1) It’s worth… 做…是值得的 Worth後面可接動詞ing或名詞。 National Palace Museum is worth visiting. 故宮值得一遊。另外一種用法可以接名詞National Palace Museum is worth a visit. 2) Be likely to 傾向於、可能會 Be likely to 後面可接不定詞片語（to V）或是that子句，表達可能性的概念。 The fire occurred near the factory and is likely to permanently deforest the land. 火災發生在工廠附近，並有可能永久摧毀這片土地。 名詞解釋：Elevator pitch它原本指一種說話技巧，必須在短時間內，與對方打開話題。在工作場所中，想像你有機會與老闆或客戶一起搭電梯時，在電梯開門之前，你只有大約60秒來精確地傳達訊息。如何在這有限時間內，以最精簡和最具說服力的內容讓對方看到價值並且買單。本文主要用在表達 HR 一天下來面試十幾個人，如何適時的運用elevator pitch 才能讓對方記得你。 |
