關於英語履歷 – 說法與概念

英語履歷的說法

( 英式 ) ： CV (Curriculum vitae)

- the course of your life

( 美式 ) ： Résumé

- an article which gives the main points but no details

重要觀念 :

you are not actually telling your life story -

you are selling yourself !

關於英語履歷 - 目的與重要性

• A CV or Résumé is a marketing tool. 履歷是你行銷自己的最佳工具 !! With your CV you will be able to promote yourself. Imagine the

CV as being a brochure that will list the benefits of a particular service.

• A CV is the first step in the job search. 履歷是求職的前哨站 A good CV will decide whether the potential employers open

the door. If you are invited for an interview you would then be in a position to explain and expand on what is in your CV.

關於英語履歷 – 下筆前該思考的事

When writing a CV…..

Look at it from your employers point of view. Would you stand out against the competition (the other candidates) and would the manager want to talk to you for a possible job?

下筆寫履歷前 , 請從面試者的角度來思考 2 件事 : 1. 這份履歷比其他競爭者突出嗎 ? 2. 你會邀請他來面試嗎 ?

5. Work Experience 工作經驗 :

this can include paid jobs either during vacations or in term-time, paid and unpaid work placements, voluntary work - in fact, any situation in which you were working!

通常寫 2 人即可，一位是你的老師；另一位則可是在任何領域證明您的能力的人

Example:

Judy Smith

英語履歷表的種類 1/4

Chronological CV Style 依年代順序排列的履歷表 This style of organization is very conservative, and it is most useful for people who have work experience in positions which are closely related to their desired employment. This style is also most suited to people who have not had long periods of unemployment time between jobs. This format starts with the present, or most recent, job and progresses back in time.

依照任職時間 < 倒敘 > 寫成

較保守的寫法，對於求職者現有的工作與應徵的工作有很大相關時，是個不錯的選擇，另外，對於沒有太多工作空窗期的求職者也很適合


Functional CV Style 以職務為中心的履歷表 It works well for people who have had internships or cooperative experiences. This type of resume highlights previous work experience that has given you background experience for the job you are seeking.

It usually looks best to list the most important or impressive job first, and work downward in importance regardless of the dates of employment.

以描述過去的 < 工作職務與內容 > 為主強調求職者過去的經歷足以勝任求職的項目

將職務列出時的重點 : 1.與應徵職務相關性最大的優先列出 (而非依任職時間 )

2.描述法 ( 職務 / 公司 / 認職時間 )


Skills CV Style 以技能為中心的履歷表 The skills style is well suited to students who have gained valuable experience through a number of unrelated jobs and courses. This format is also appropriate for people who are making a significant change in careers. It emphasizes what you can do, not where you have worked.

However, try to match your skills to the position you are applying for.

以描述您的 < 工作職能 > 為主強調求職者擁有的工作技能或資格足以勝任求職的工作，適合新鮮人或是“轉職者”

列出您修過的課程 / 志工經驗 .. 等等，試著與您爭取的職位連結


Imaginative CV Style 創意式履歷表This style is most effective for people who are seeking employment in a field which demands creativity and individuality, such as graphic design, creative writing, or landscape architecture. You should research your companies thoroughly to see if they are open to creative resumes.

This type of resume acts like a mini-portfolio item because it demonstrates a combination of layout, graphics, text integration, and audience selection. These resumes can be extremely impressive if they are well-designed.

呈現您的 < 作品集 > 為主適合創意工作者，像“網頁設計師”、“攝影師”…這樣的履歷表可以將過去的作品及結成冊甚至網頁展示或影音檔，設計得宜，會有極大的正面效果

您適合哪一種 CV?

• If you are job hunting …… it is a good idea to have several CV's

with different profiles or objectives. For example, you can have a CV for a sales supervisor and

the other for a shop floor manager. Your 'sales supervisor' CV can highlight achievements in this area, the CV would be tuned to that particular in terms of job descriptions and

achievements!

正在求職的你可以依不同的職稱改寫 / 強調該職位需求的履歷 !

impression so that the employer or recruiter will want to read your CV. It will have more impact if it is individually written in response to a particular role or advertisement.

5. Letter title 書信抬頭

Centre and bold the text. This will enable the addressee to know immediately that this is an application


• Paragraph 1 – Why you are writing?

You want to try & get the interest of the Employer. You should start the letter with the reason for writing and indicate the position that you are applying for along with how you heard of the vacancy.

* Try to make sure that it is not just a list of what is in your CV but is individualised to the job application.

此處你可以寫下你擁有的相關工作經驗與資歷 * 不要只是“列出”，要寫一段話將他們串聯在一起，並且與 CV 上的

描述不同


• Paragraph 3 – Summary and next step

Refer to your enclosed CV and also ask for the interview. You may at this point suggest that you will be making a follow up call. It is also important that you thank the reader for their time and consideration and tell them that you look forward to hearing from them.

Interview 如何看待面試這件事…

The interviewer hopes that YOU are the right person for the job. They are under pressure to fill the position so that they can get back to their own work. Therefore you are in a greater position of strength than you think. Concentrate on what you have to offer in the way of qualifications and experience instead of feeling intimidated.

以面試者的觀點來看待“面試”這件事… .

An interviewer has 3 aims: 面試最重要的 3 個目的

1) To learn if you are the right person for the job.2) To assess your potential for promotion3) To decide whether you will fit into the company environment.
