【简历tips】Seed 教你#简历词汇#,像对待雅思写作一样对待简历编写,分分钟搞定HR

2015年06月16日 Seed读职场


对于简历编写,除了格式和内容,大家一定都特别想知道究竟怎么写,用什么词汇比较好。同为留学生背景的小编非常理解大家。今天的简历小技巧就是针对简历词汇展开的。雅思有雅思词汇,简历也有简历词汇。

1. Passive vs Active
转被动为主动
在描述我们曾经的工作经验或社团活动经历时,会用到很多动词。这时候,英语第二语言的我们很容易忽略掉一个细节,就是动词的主动和被动给读者的感觉。举个例子,我们说自己曾经负责某任务时通常会写 “was responsible for”这个短语,用的是被动语态,后面通常会再接另外一个动词来详细解释核心动作。现在,把被动换成主动,我们通过一个例子来看一下效果:

• Was responsible for arranging event venue for Dream Ark Career Fair when studied at University.

• Arranging event venue for Dream Ark Career Fair when studied at University.

第二句明显比较短,并且以核心动词开头更加直接有力。所谓主动语态,就是让动作的发出者显得更主动地去做这个动作。第一句会给人感觉你是被派遣去安排活动场地,而主人公在第二句中看起来更像是活动组织者的一员,更有主动性。再给两个例子,大家体会一下:

a. Was responsible for submitting two sports-related blogs per month for publication on website.

b. Submitted two sports-related blogs per month for publication on website.

a. Responsible for raising $250,000 by recruiting staff to run door- to-door canvass reaching 200,000 people.

b. Raised $250,000 by recruiting staff to run door-to-door canvass reaching 200,000 people.

b句子中形容的人感觉能力更强一些。

既然都说到这个份儿上了,Seed小编就再给大家几个展示能力的动词:
Supervised / Developed / Managed / Ensured / Handled / Monitored / Controlled / Coordinated / Operated / Created / Built / Decreased
2. Delete these words
别在简历中“等等"
我们曾经都以为various, variety 和 etc. 能显得自己身怀多重技能,但是却忽略了读简历的人的感受。只说多种技能或等等技能,人家还是不知道你究竟会什么技能。依旧举例说明,如果你曾经参加过bookkeeping技能培训,那么在简历中可能有这两种写法:

a. Completed Bookkeeping Training and equipped skills to record accounts payable and receivable, prepare Business Activity Statement, record general journal entries and various bookkeeping tasks.

b. Completed Bookkeeping Training and equipped skills to record accounts payable and receivable, prepare Business Activity Statement, record general journal entries, PAYG withholding and PAYG instalments, inventory tracking, generating payroll reports, bank reconciliations, personnel database management, preparation of profit and loss statements, and trial balance and balance sheet.

如果雇主正在看你是否能够完成payroll任务,那么a简历直接就被pass掉了,人家并不知道你的various bookkeeping tasks里面是否包含payroll。所以,当你罗列专业技能时,果断列出所有你具备的能力,不要让雇主猜。
3. Avoid “Assisted” or “Helped”
避免这两个词
这两个词汇也经常出现在简历中,但是,他们和be responsible for很像,后面也是会接其他更细节的动词。然而雇主想要看到的不是你协助过别人完成过什么,而是你完成过什么。那么处理方式也是一样的,直接写你完成了什么,用核心动词开头描述你曾经的经历。
4. 10 Words Recruiters Hate Seeing on Your Resume and 10 They Love
尽量远离以下词汇
雇主们已经对很多频繁出现在简历中的词汇开始生厌了,我们能做的就是避免和改写。小编找到了让HR最想翻白眼的10个词汇:

Best of breed / Go-getter / Think outside of the box / Synergy / Go-to person / Results-driven / Team player / Hard worker / Strategic thinker / Detail-oriented

当然也有他们最愿意看到的10个词汇:

Achieved / Improved / Trained/Mentored / Managed / Created / Influenced / Increased/Decreased / Negotiated / Launched / Under budget
希望小编今天跟大家分享的这些内容能给大家一个修改简历的方向。Seed小编将会继续苦口婆心地与大家分享实用的job seeking技巧。
