开始写英文CV,怎么描述自己相信对大家都是相当挠头的事。找了些比较实用的资料, 在这里share给大家。
CV有多大用处?陶瓷的时候,某些学校网申的时候,找实习找工作的时候。。。用得相当广泛呀~~可见大家的CV不管何时何地都要准备,还要针对不同目的写不同的CV哟~~
我要写哪些内容?
陶瓷CV是比较专业导向或者技术导向的。一般有几大板块。
页眉写个人信息(姓名、地址、联系方式) 已经获得学位的可以写上学位 MS/MA, Ph.D/ MD
教育背景Education
本科、硕士、博士教育的年月和地点
工作经历Career 实习应该可以算在这里。如果错了大家提意见哈~
语言 Language
中文:native speaker 英文:一般写fluent 列考试成绩更有说服力
学术背景Academic Experience
接受教育期间和工作期间做的学术项目
学术成就Academic Achievements
学术(会议)文章、专利等
其他经历 Other Experience
培训、义工、社团、学生会、各种竞赛
成就 Achievements
获奖情况
最后两个对技术方向申请不一定有帮助,可以简写。
我该用什么词?
描述自己参与了什么,完成了什么该用什么词?有以下几个原则:
原则一:用主动词来描述你的经历中文的简历喜欢把年月摆出来后直接以名词打头。比如2012.9 某某实验室研究助理
英文则更倾向于用动词,主动词来描述。比如9/2012 Acted as a research assistant in Prof.A's lab, B city, China
原则二:动词也要有变化
"launched", "created"
"managed a…" "…published…" or "…attended…"
"…held primary responsibility for…"
"increased sales/profits/customers by…"

原则三:版面简洁
排版统一,注意对齐。两边空白不要太多也不要太窄。不要有花哨的界面和设计。
我如何突出自己的优势?
技术申请的亮点永远在技术上。强调你参与的项目、事情、实验。在其中承担的任务,解决了什么问题,收获了什么结果。
可以花两到三行描述你的贡献。即使是很小的事情也可以写出深刻来,挖掘细节怎么都不过分。
等我找到合适的例子了补上来哈~或者有研究经历不多简历不知道怎么写饱满的同学跟贴提问,咱们实例改改?
我不知道如何开始下笔怎么办?
1、平时做个有心人。大学里也许能参与的项目很多。各种社团活动,竞赛,校园活动,学术论坛……要记得至少每学期把它们都记下来哦~不光是回顾了自己成长的历程,知道时间花在哪儿了,还有助于提取精华给简历添色呢~
2、任何简历都是从简单罗列和流水账开始的。我会保留一个流水账式巨细的版本,再根据需要删减或者添加内容,加强侧重点。然后就形成了各种版本,针对各种目的。还可以扩充扩充写成Personal Statement的重要部分,是不是很好用呀~~
什么事情不要做?
1、最好不要有艳色块。如果真想用,可以用淡淡的浅灰、藏青、砖红、浅棕(知名咨询公司们常用的加强说服力颜色)来分隔一下不同板块的内容(统一用一个色调哦),并且将透明度调高(若隐若现~)防止阅读疲劳。但总的来说要把注意力引导到你的内容上而不是设计上。
2、自我评价不需要。中式的自我评价会给人空泛不可信的印象。你凭什么这样自己评定自己?这是不公正的态度哦。当然,如果有事例支持也许也勉强可以吧。。用数据和事实说话是最直接有效的方式。
目前想到的就这么多,希望对刚刚开始CV写作的朋友有帮助!
