Effective Resumes: An 'Objective' Debate
高效的簡歷:關於「求職目標」的爭論
Are you for job objectives or against them?
你贊成還是反對在簡歷上寫明求職目標?
Most job seekers -- and even career experts -- have strong opinions.
大部分求職者以及職業專家意見都各持己見。
Those in favor say objectives are the simplest, quickest way to target a specific position. Those against charge that objectives waste valuable space and limit you to just one position when you might be qualified for others.
持贊成意見的人說簡歷上寫上求職目標是針對一個特定職位的最簡單最直接的方法。而持反對意見的人則說這樣做浪費了簡歷的空間,還會將你限制在一個職位上,說不定還會有其他的職位適合你。
Whether you are pro- or anti-objective, here are tips for writing a resume that will grab recruiters' attention from the get-go.
不管你是贊成者還是反對者,以下這些小貼士都可以幫你打造一份在一開始就抓住招聘人員眼光的簡歷。
Putting Your Goal on Paper
將你的目標寫在紙上
Job objectives work best for two types of job seekers:
求職目標對以下兩種類型的求職者最有效:
1) Those who know exactly what job they want, and
明確知道自己要找什麼工作的求職者,以及
2) Those whose career goal isn't obvious on their resumes.
在簡歷中沒明確寫上職業目標的求職者
If you include an objective, place it directly under your name and contact information. An objective typically begins with "to." For example, "Objective: To obtain a position... "
如果你要在簡歷上寫上求職目標,就直接寫在名字和聯繫方式下面。目標的書寫通常是從「要….」開始。比如「目標:要得到一個職位…….」
Your objective should be simple, specific and brief -- no more than two or three lines. It should highlight what you have to offer the company, such as a specific skill or experience. A recruiter is more interested in what you can give the company than what you hope to get from it.
你寫的目標應該簡單、明了,不應該超過兩到三行字。應該重點突出你能為公司貢獻什麼,比如特殊的技能或工作經驗等。招聘人員更感興趣的是你能給公司帶來什麼,而不是你將從公司得到什麼。
Here's an example of an effective job objective:
以下列舉一個令人印象深刻的工作目標的描敘:
Objective: To obtain an entry-level account management position in financial services utilizing my strong analyticaland interpersonalskills.
工作目標:想找一份可以充分發揮我卓越分析能力和交際能力的入門級財務管理工作。
Review your objective each time you send a resume and make sure it fits the job you're applying for. Just as you should have several versions of your resume, you should also have several versions of your job objective.
每次發送簡歷之前都檢查下你寫的目標,並確保內容要和你想找的工作相吻合。正如你需要很多不同版本的簡歷一樣,你也需要寫上不同的求職目標。
Summarizing Your Skills
總結你的技能
Not 100 percent sure what job you want? Then you may find a summary statement more effective than an objective.
不是百分百確定你想找什麼樣的工作?那麼寫一段概述可能比求職目標對你更有效。
While an objective focuses on the job, a summary statement focuses on the job seeker.
求職目標的重點是工作,而概述則是將重點放在求職者身上。
A summary statement is a one- to two-sentence overview that captures the essence of your skills and experience. It highlights what makes you a qualified candidateas well as what makes you different (and better) than other applicants.
概述是用一兩句話來彰顯你技能和經驗的精華。它既可以重點突出你是符合條件候選人的原因,也可以讓你從其他候選人中脫穎而出。
