In these challenging times, so many resumes come in for a single job opening that companies have trouble finding the best candidate. Also, interested applicants have difficulty getting their resume in front of someone that will invite them to an interview.
A successful resume is one that gets you through the door, generating a job interview for you. Once you are in the building, you take your best shot at winning that job.
Employers are looking for the BEST FIT. They have a problem and they need to solve it quickly.
They will only take a few seconds to look at your resume and they will quickly determine if you’re worth their time to talk to.
外商公司老闆們尋找的是最合適的人選。如果遇到問題，他們會盡快解決。
他們只會用幾秒鐘查看你的英文履歷並迅速決定你是否值得他們花時間和你談。
From my experience, these are the most common problems with the resume:
根據經驗，以下這些是英文履歷中常出現的問題：
CAREER OBJECTIVE
People like to announce their career objective and aspirations on the top of their resume. We have been led to believe that this shows you to be a highly motivated and ambitious individual.
This is a mistake. The decision maker is wasting valuable seconds reading about your career objective and may move on to the next resume. No one cares about your career objective. Nobody cares. NOBODY.
The decision maker has a problem and they want the answer to just one simple question, “CAN YOU HELP ME SOLVE IT?”
The recruiter or the decision maker will quickly glance over the job descriptions of your previous jobs, looking for commonalities, similar skills or experience that match the job opening that you’re applying for.
If your job description doesn’t clearly show that, it’s over. You’re done.
Here is a quick and easy way to correct it, improving your chances of getting a phone call:
下面是英文履歷問題改正的方法，非常簡便，可以幫你提高接到面試電話的機率：
Replace Career Objective with QUALIFICATIONS
The recruiter or decision maker is looking for someone that closely matches the job opening so make it easy for them by listing all of skills and experience at the very top of your resume.
If they want to read the rest of your resume, they can, but they don’t have to. You told them everything they needed to know. You gave them what they were looking for.
If the position requires a certain level of experience in a particular skill (ex: 5 years of customer service experience), add up all of your years of customer service experience from every job you’ve had and list it in bullet points.
If a college degree is required, list it here. If you think a particular skill is helpful ( ex: fluent in Cantonese), list it here.

1. Bad English: A recruiter is looking for an excuse not to consider your application, and bad grammar gives him an excuse to put your application in the special file marked the bin.
A badly written CV shows you are disinterested or that you just can ‘t spell. Either way, it’s fatal.
Check it yourself, and get someone else to go over your CV – it is easy to miss mistakes in your own copy.
3. Don’t be passive: Can you solve problems, will you walk into your job running? If you can – great – you’re what your employer is looking for.
The question is: have you communicated this with your CV?
你能處理問題嗎？你能適應工作嗎？如果你的回答時肯定的——那你就是雇主們正在尋找的人選。
但是，這些優勢在你的英文履歷自我介紹中都體現出來了嗎？
4.英文履歷注意事項－描述避免模糊
4. Don’t be vague: Details help.
State what you have achieved, with action verbs, and use numbers where possible.
具體的英文履歷細節描述可以幫助你達到這一點。
用動詞的履歷英文單字開頭把你的工作成就都寫在履歷中，在必要之處或英文履歷結尾補充用數字說明更生動。
5.英文履歷注意事項－內容客製化
5. Customization counts: One size does not fill all.
Read the job specification carefully. Look for key words in the text the reveal the kind of personality being looked for, and what the employer expects the right candidate to be able to deliver.
8. Design: Make your CV pleasing to the eye. How your CV is presented tells a story about you.
Are you visually aware, do you care enough about the job to present the information well? Your CV is sending signals to your employer. Make sure they are the right ones.
9. Don’t put it off: If you see a job you’re interested in, don’t delay putting together the application – do it the same day and send it the same day.
