千禧一代求職有許多優勢。他們精通各種技術，相比老一輩畢業生，他們通常能夠利用大量寶貴的非職業經驗。他們有使命感，一直在探尋自己與公司關系中的意義所在，為了獲得必要的經驗，他們對跳槽往往持開放的態度。但招聘經理可能認為，這種流動性意味著求職者不安分，對工作缺乏專注。

為了打消這種疑慮，千禧一代在求職時應該考慮其簡歷閱讀者的觀點。許多招聘人員并非千禧一代，因此，他們會用更加傳統的心態看待職業管理。

編寫一份出色的簡歷，生動描繪你的職業經歷，是與面試官交流的第一步，因為他們的直覺和決定，關乎你的求職申請將進入下一個環節，還是被束之高閣。要想脫穎而出，在編寫簡歷時可以考慮下面五條建議：

1、避免流水賬

僅列出從事過的職位和相關責任并不夠。每一份工作都應該闡述你從這段經歷中學到的經驗教訓，以及它如何讓你更接近自己的個人目標。你從每一份工作當中學到了什么？你得到了哪些重要的經驗教訓？這份工作如何讓你變成更合格的員工？這些內容可以證明，你并非只是在上班打卡，而是在學習和吸收技能。如果你在短時間內多次跳槽，一定要提供詳細的背景，解釋你真正看重的東西。

2、介紹自己獲得的成績

不論是談論在體育團隊的經歷，最喜歡的高校社團，在本地商業部門的實習經歷，還是上一份全職工作，一定要具體到個人，并重點闡述結果。你如何幫助社團，如何增長業務，如何發展公司，或者你為社區做出過哪些貢獻？潛在雇主不僅希望知道你取得過哪些成績，更希望了解這些成績能給公司帶來哪些好處。然后詳細說明你如何將以往的經驗應用到你正在申請的這份工作中。

3、編寫生動的簡歷

避免“平淡的”簡歷。你可以創建一份數字簡歷，嵌入與你有關的鏈接，比如你曾寫過的故事，或描述你的文章，你曾參與的項目和你做過的貢獻等。簡歷中可以包括視頻鏈接，讓招聘經理能夠真正看到你本人，以及你如何展現自己。建立私人關系有助于給招聘經理留下長久的印象，讓對方更全面地了解你。

4、管理你的社交媒體形象

小心維護你的社交媒體形象。如果招聘經理在谷歌上搜索你的名字，他會發現什么？假如你申請的是一份嚴肅的工作，但一個網站卻顯示你喜歡派對，這可能令你的職業名聲大打折扣。你在社交媒體上發布的內容，有哪些可能給你帶來傷害？

5、認真撰寫求職信

我們見過各種剪貼錯誤：疏忽大意的求職者忘了針對具體的工作修改求職信。語法或拼寫錯誤也會反映出你的工作方式存在問題。留下第一印象的機會只有一次。用簡單易讀的方式概述你的經歷，讓招聘經理可以迅速挑選出他們重視的品質。

要想成為一位出類拔萃的求職者，不妨參考上面這些聰明的技巧，讓你的簡歷從眾多競爭對手當中脫穎而出。（財富中文網）

Millennials looking for work have many advantages. Most are proficient with multiple technologies and, in comparison to graduates in my day, they generally have a wealth of valuable, non-career experiences to pull from. They seek purpose and are looking for meaning in their relationship with a company, and are typically open to moving from company to company to help garner the experience they need. That mobility, however, can be viewed by hiring managers as a sign that a candidate is a flight risk and lacks focus.

To overcome this concern, millennials seeking to secure a job should consider the perspective of those reading their resumes. Many are not millennials themselves, and therefore approach career management with a more traditional mindset.

Building a savvy resume that paints a picture of your career journey is the first step to engaging with the resume-reader whose instincts and decisions will determine whether your application moves ahead or doesn’t get a second glance. To stand out from the crowd, here are five tips to consider when sprucing up your resume:

Avoid the linear timeline

Just listing job titles and the responsibilities of each isn’t enough anymore. Each job should include enhanced insights into what you learned from the experience and how it got you closer to your personal goal. What did you get out of each job? What were your key takeaways? How has it made you a better employee? This will demonstrate that you weren’t just punching a clock, but learning and absorbing skills. If you’ve had several job changes in quick succession, be sure to provide greater context and explain what really matters to you.

Talk about accomplishments

Whether you are describing your experience being on a sports team, in a favorite college club, interning at a local business, or at your last full-time job, make it personal and focused on results. What did you do to help the club, grow the business, enhance the company, or contribute to your community? Would-be employers not only want to know what you’ve accomplished, but how it benefited the company. Then detail how your past results can be leveraged for the job you’re applying for.

Make your resume come alive

Avoid a “flat” resume. Instead, create a digital resume by imbedding links to stories you’ve written or those written about you, projects you’ve been involved in, and your contributions. Include a video link so that a hiring manager can literally see who you are and how you represent yourself. Making a personal connection goes a long way toward making a lasting impression and gives the manager a better sense of who you are.

Manage your social media presence

Carefully maintain your social media presence. If hiring managers Google GOOG -0.12% you, what will they find? If you’re applying for a serious job, a site showing how you love to party can potentially put your professional reputation at risk. What are you putting out there that could possibly come back to bite you?

Take care with your cover letter

We’ve all seen the cut and paste error: An applicant neglects to tailor the cover letter to the specific job. Grammatical or spelling errors also reflect poorly on your work style. You never get a second chance to make a first impression. Summarize your experience in an easy-to-read format so managers can quickly pick what they’d like to focus on.

If you wish to be considered an outstanding job candidate, use these smart tips to help make your resume stand out from the pack.
