范例一:Jason A.E. Gottlieb
如上,所有信息都概括在1页纸内,分education/experience/personal”三大类,非常清楚。
每一条又从左到右按照“时间”“学校名称/公司名称”和“地点”展示出来,方便阅读。在experience里放了三条主要工作经历,尤以Samsung和A.T. Kearney为重,每一个bullet point的叙述都使用了恰当而有力度的动词,并辅以数字做支持,让人一目了然。
在personal一栏的内容也很有亮点,不只是单纯罗列他的爱好和特长,而是通过producer of two albums和award-winning photographer with 10+ years of graphic design experience这样的词组抓人眼球,让人感到这个学霸不但在职场上很牛,生活中也是个很酷的人。

范例二:Francisco Robles
Francisco Robles的简历与Jason的类似,也是一份比较典型的哈佛商学院学生简历。

范例三:Alee Lee
这份简历板式别具一格,分成两个主栏,充分利用了1页A4纸空间的同时又不失留白,能给人留下比较好的视觉效果。另外值得一提的是内容的栏目比较多,除了Education和Work Experience之外,还单放了曾出版过的作品(Publications),领导经历 (Leadership)以及外语技能 (Foreign Language Skills),展现出自己的多方面成就。
不过,我并不建议大家都学这个格式——不是每个人都那么“多才多艺”,更何况招聘官最关注的通常还是一个人的教育背景和工作/实习经历。
Jesse Jayant简历有1.5页——我并不是很赞同这样的篇幅安排,因为第二页有半页空着哈佛商学院英文简历模板,视觉效果不好。我的观点是要么努力把所有内容概括进1页,要么就做两整页。虽然篇幅不完美,但这份简历的其他方面都做得很好,格式工整美观,顶部的Summary和Core Competencies(核心能力)能帮助读者在10秒之内了解Jesse的主要亮点。另外,“工作经历”的位置先于“教育”,因为这位同学有相当丰富的工作履历,实乃她的杀手锏,理应突出。
最后分享一份标准1页式简历的模板,大家可以根据自身情况做相应的调整。
关于简历的几个问与答
1. 简历里要不要放照片?
我至今没有在简历里放过个人照片,但我审过的简历里大约30%在左上或右上角有照片(国内使用的简历居多;在美国的简历几乎不放、也不能放照片——为了保证足够公平,防止招聘官/招生官以貌取人)。放不放照片并没有硬性要求,有时用人单位还可能特别说明要放照片。如果放照片,则一定要选择最近三个月拍摄的标准证件照,不要放生活照。
2. 什么时候开始准备简历最好?
我的建议是上大学以后就要着手准备一份简历了,因为只要进入大学,就很快会有用到简历的时候。每学期最好都结合最近的经历更新一次简历。
3. 简历和面试,哪个更重要?
都很重要。简历打头炮,有时会更重要(一份好简历是面试的敲门砖)。况且对于出国留学党而言,一些学校并没有面试这个环节,能否拿到Offer完全取决于书面申请材料(简历是其中一项)。
4. 休学或休过长假,需要在简历里说明吗?
因为休学休假(比如越来越流行的gap year间隔年)而出现工作或教育经历时间断档时,必须要在简历里说明原因以及在休假期间做了什么——是健康出现问题而被迫请假休养?结婚生子?还是参与了创业/课题研究/出去环游世界?如果是主动选择的休假,最好多强调在“断档”期间取得的成绩。
5. 如果曾转学到另一所大学,要在简历里说明吗?
是的,通常要在“教育”一栏都写出来。如果有意或无意忽略了其中一段教育经历,反而可能会引来怀疑。
哈佛大学的英文简历动词表
还有一条重要的简历法则是:一定、一定、一定要用最准确而有力度的动词来描述你的各项成就。如果因为用词不当而无法给人留下深刻印象甚至产生歧义是很可惜的。
这份动词表对要准备英文简历的同学们来说非常helpful. 我在写自己的简历之前仔细捋过一遍,简历初稿完成后又对照着这份动词表对措辞做了两轮润色。标红的是我在自己的简历里用过/最推荐你们使用的动词。
其实,哪怕你现在不写英文简历,也可以拿这张表夯实一下英语——自己动手去补上每个词的中文意思哈。
