Part 1 Resume Writing 簡歷寫作
Developing a Resumé is the first step in any successful job search. The average Resumé is written out of necessity. Everyone knows you have to have one to get a job.
Your resume is like your personal movie trailer. You want your resume to capture your employer's interest, so they'll want to learn more about you.
An effective resume will quickly highlight who you are, where you can be reached, and information about your most recent educational or training experiences. To make writing your resume as painless as possible, assemble the following information before you begin:
·Personal information such as name, address, phone, and e-mail address
·Current job objective
·Education and training
·Work experience, including duties and dates of employment
·Accomplishments (particularly as they relate to work experience)
·Specific skills and abilities
·Information about software knowledge or machinery you can operate
·References if possible.
Writing a resume applies some strict rules. You should Be clear and concise, 1-2 pages should be the maximum. Be honest about your experience and goals (but present them in the best possible light). Stress what you can do and what you've learned. Be neat---no typos, smudges, etc. Don't forget to include volunteer work, work and school awards and honors, notable skills---that your employers are interested in all of these. Make the most of your experience. Be proud of what you've done in the past. This helps make a positive impression.
Last but not least, do remember to proofread it! We can't over-emphasize the need to proofread your resume--and better yet, have someone else proofread it for you, Give them to your English teacher or guidance counselor and have them look it over. Two sets of eyes are better than one--your proofreader may catch mistakes that you missed, but an employer won't miss. Resumes with grammar mistakes, misspellings or uneven margins often get tossed.
對許多人來講，一份簡約明快的英文簡歷是進入外企的“敲門磚”。那么，如何寫好英文簡歷呢？
首先，語言簡練。對于求職者來講，目的明確、語言簡練是簡歷行之有效的基礎。 如在教育背景中寫相關課程，不要為了拼湊篇幅，把所有的課程一股腦兒地都寫上，如體育等。這樣不很有效，別人也沒耐心看。
其次，個人資料部分包括求職者的姓名、性別、出生年月等，與中文簡歷大體一致。第二部分為教育背景（EDUCATION），必須注意的是在英文簡歷中，求職者受教育的時間排列順序與中文簡歷中的時間排列順序正好相反，也就是說，是從求職者的最高教育層次（學歷）寫起，至于低至何時，則無一定之規，可根據個人實際情況安排。
第三，社會工作。在時間排列順序上亦遵循由后至前這一規則，即從當前的工作崗位寫起，直至求職者的第一個工作崗位為止。求職者要將所服務單位的名稱，自身的職位、技能寫清楚。把社會工作細節放在工作經歷中，這樣會填補工作經驗少的缺陷，例如，你在做團支書、學生會主席等社會工作時組織過什么活動，聯系過什么事，參與過什么都可以一一羅列。而作為大學生，雇主通常并不指望你在暑期工作期間會有什么驚天動地的成就。當然如果你有就更好了。
第四，所獲獎勵和作品（PRICE＆PUBICATION）。將自己所獲獎項及所發表過的作品列舉一二，可以從另一方面證實自己的工作能力和取得的成績。書寫上獎學金一項一行。
另外，大多數外企對英語（或其他語種）及計算機水平都有一定的要求，個人的語言水平、程度可在此單列說明。

·Use standard English.
·Double-check your spelling and grammar.
·Use standard white paper.
·Keep a copy of everything you send to each organization.

·Include your full name, address, and contact information.
·Use a formal greeting, such as Mr., Ms., Dr.
·Center your margins.
·Follow up after three business days.
·Mention how you found out about the position.

·Don't use flashy stationery (unless you're applying for a highly creative job).
·Don't use slang.
不容置疑，一封高質量的英文求職信是幫助你應聘成功的敲門磚。如果你自己是一件商品的話，那么你的英文求職信，就是一封把你自己推銷出去的一種商業信函。通過求職信讓你的雇主在最短的時間內對你的教育背景，能力，業績，愿望等等，有一個深刻的印象；在眾多的求職者中脫穎而出，從而一舉獲得成功，得到你夢寐以求的職位！
Part 3 Before the Interview 面試準備
There are few experiences filled with more anxiety and trepidation than a job interview. Thoughts such as "What if I don't get any job offers?," "What if I don't get the job I want?," or "Will I accept a position that isn't right for me?" can cause considerable upset. Here are a few notes and pointers on how to prepare for interviews and determine if this job is the right one for you.
The key to reducing your anxiety is in being well-prepared for the interview. The first step towards a successful job interview is self-assessment. You need to decide for yourself what kind of position you want. Since self-knowledge is the foundation of all decisions, a close scrutiny of your priorities, interests, short and long-term goals is necessary before any interview.
Remember: if you're unsure of whether or not you want the position you're interviewing for, it will probably show. If you don't have a reasonably clear focus, this is the time to do some hard thinking about what kind of position you want.
The second step in preparation for your interviews is to research the companies you'll be interviewing with. You should know as much about the company and the position as you possibly can. As you do your research, look for points where your interests, capabilities, goals, and personality match the company's needs or whatever needs you think they might have.
Every interviewer, whether directly or indirectly, will expect you to be able to answer questions like: Why do you want a position in this company? What can you do for my company? There are a few of the more popular interview questions. Take some time to think about the answers, and you'll be much more prepared to make a great impression. At a job interview, your employers will probably ask the following:
·What jobs have you liked the most? The least?
·Can you tell me about your present job?
·What do you expect to be doing five years from now?
·Why do you want to work for our company?
·What are your strengths? Your weaknesses?
·What do you know about our company?
·Can you give me a reason to hire you?
·What was your best subject in school? Your worst?
·What makes you qualified for this job?
·Can you tell me about the best day you've ever spent on a job? Your worst?
·How do you define success?
·Are you able to travel? Relocate?
·Can you tell me about your skills?
·Are you able to use a computer?
·Can you describe your ideal supervisor?
·Why did you apply for this job?
·How do you use this specific computer application to solve a job-related program?
·Do you have any samples of your work? (This is where that portfolio comes in handy!)
And you're supposed to dress properly. A suit, dress shirt and tie are usually required for men. Women should wear either a suit or a dress with a complementary jacket. They are ALWAYS acceptable.
Those men with more limited wardrobes should wear a nice sports coat with coordinated slacks and shirt. Women should wear a nice jacket with coordinated skirt or slacks.You should always avoid wearing sneakers to interviews.
