如何写一份脱颖而出的简历

如果你申请的是一份全职办公室工作, 很可能有几十个, 如果不是几百个, 竞聘同一职位的申请人. 结果是, a typical employer probably reviews a dozen or more resumes a day while a job is open, 根据 Glassdoor网站, spends an aver年龄 of only six seconds looking at each one.

You might even get screened out before the employer has a chance to look at your resume. The National Association of Colleges 和 Employers (NACE) reports that more than 90% of large companies use automated screening tools known as applicant tracking systems to sort c和idates based on 所需的技能 和 experience to narrow down the pool of c和idates for consideration.

那么，你怎么 制作简历 that will catch an employer’s attention 和 help you secure an interview?

Here are four tips on how to write a resume that will st和 out:

1. 定制每一份简历

Take the time to research each company 和 study the job description. 在你提交简历之前, review it again 和 make sure you have included the keywords 和 phrases that you noted in the job description. This will help you optimize your resume in case the employer is using an automated system to sort applications based on select criteria.

2. 量化你的工作经验

3. 格式一致

你简历的所有部分都必须看起来相似. This includes fonts, bullet points, spacing 和 overall organization. Make it easy for employers to find the information they care about quickly. 例如, 如果你把第一部分标题加粗, 下一节的标题也应该保留. 记得检查一下 正确的语法, including appropriate 和 consistent verb tenses throughout.

4. 突出可转移技能

You may not always have work experience that directly aligns with the position you want. 没关系! 你还有 宝贵的技能. Take the time to identify the soft skills that all employers value, 比如批判性思维, 沟通, 客户服务, 领导, 时间管理 注重细节.
