Resumes How To Prepare A Good Resume?

如何写好英文简历？

申请到外企工作通常需要准备一份英文简历(Resume或C.V.)。千万别小看这张简历，在与你素未谋面之前，招聘单位往往是通过它来判断你的英文水平。它也不仅仅是你中文简历的翻译。英文简历自有一套模式，基本上应该包括以下几点内容：

1． 1.个人信息（Personal Data）: 姓名(Name)，住址(Address)，出生年月及地点(Date and Place of Birth)，
性别(Gender/Sex)，联系电话(Telephone)和电子邮箱(Email)等。

2． 2.谋求的职位（Objective）: 简单描述你所要申请的职位或你所期望得到的工作。

3． 3.学习经历（Education）: 从最近的学历开始写（和中文正好相反），列出学校名称，学习的课程，
所获的证书或文凭，别忘了注明时间，地点。

4． 4.工作经历（Work Experience）: 也是由最近所从事的工作开始写，列出单位或公司名称，所担任
的职务及所取得的业绩，还有时间和地点。

5． 5.获奖经历（Honors / Award）: 列举曾获得的奖项及获奖时间。

6． 6.其他特长（Qualities / Skills）: 包括计算机，语言等方面特长。

7． 7.兴趣爱好（Interests）: 可根据需要列举自己的兴趣爱好（因为这可能是你个人性格素质的反映）。

你也可以参考以下几份简历样本，试试对号入座，自己也能写出一份不错的英文简历来。
