毫無(wú)疑問(wèn)，現(xiàn)在要想做出能讓你收到面試通知的簡(jiǎn)歷比以前更難了。一方面，大部分公司如今都使用某種形式的申請(qǐng)人自動(dòng)跟蹤系統(tǒng)（ATS）進(jìn)行簡(jiǎn)歷篩選，只有簡(jiǎn)歷中的關(guān)鍵詞和正式的職位描述關(guān)鍵詞相符，才能得到這類系統(tǒng)算法的青睞。也就是說(shuō)，如果你的簡(jiǎn)歷里沒(méi)有把每一個(gè)關(guān)鍵詞都寫(xiě)進(jìn)去，可能就無(wú)法過(guò)關(guān)。但另一方面，如果你的簡(jiǎn)歷只是把關(guān)鍵詞干巴巴地羅列在一起，沒(méi)什么其它內(nèi)容，恐怕也無(wú)法打動(dòng)那些可能（早晚）要看你的簡(jiǎn)歷的人，他們才擁有是否要給你面試機(jī)會(huì)的最終決定權(quán)。 “一旦你通過(guò)了機(jī)篩，是否錄取你、甚至是否打電話通知你面試，60%取決于你的條件，40%取決于你的魅力。”LT·拉蒂諾·布萊森說(shuō)，布萊森曾在哥倫比亞、索尼音樂(lè)等多家大型唱片公司擔(dān)任長(zhǎng)達(dá)20年的獵頭。她現(xiàn)在是招聘網(wǎng)站vCandidates.com的CEO。“畢竟要一起共事的是人，不是一張關(guān)鍵詞清單。” 為了讓你的簡(jiǎn)歷在2018年脫穎而出，讓你真實(shí)又獨(dú)一無(wú)二的精彩人生透過(guò)簡(jiǎn)歷閃閃發(fā)光，布萊森提出了四點(diǎn)建議： 1. 為不同的職位制作不同的簡(jiǎn)歷 為了不讓你的簡(jiǎn)歷讀起來(lái)像是C3PO機(jī)器人寫(xiě)的，最好的辦法是只在簡(jiǎn)歷中加入某一具體崗位的關(guān)鍵詞。然而，許多求職者為了節(jié)省時(shí)間，往往只準(zhǔn)備一份萬(wàn)能簡(jiǎn)歷，把每一個(gè)能想到的關(guān)鍵詞都加進(jìn)去，永遠(yuǎn)都用同一份簡(jiǎn)歷到處投。“如果在簡(jiǎn)歷中寫(xiě)出你做過(guò)的每件事、獲得的每一個(gè)證書(shū)，不僅無(wú)聊，還會(huì)讓人覺(jué)得你根本不清楚自己現(xiàn)在想要找一份什么樣的工作。”布萊森說(shuō)。“有針對(duì)性地為每一個(gè)不同職位制作簡(jiǎn)歷，的確需要你多花點(diǎn)時(shí)間準(zhǔn)備，但也更容易讓招聘人員在茫茫人海中快速把你挑出來(lái)。” 2. 在簡(jiǎn)歷開(kāi)頭誠(chéng)懇地寫(xiě)上“人生目標(biāo)宣言” 在簡(jiǎn)歷最上方加上一小段自我介紹十分重要，當(dāng)然絕對(duì)不能用那些虛偽的陳詞濫調(diào)（“做事主動(dòng)”、“具有團(tuán)隊(duì)精神”、“擁有一流創(chuàng)新精神”等等）。“這是你在簡(jiǎn)歷中展現(xiàn)自己真實(shí)個(gè)性的第一次機(jī)會(huì)，所以一定要好好利用。”布萊森說(shuō)。“要簡(jiǎn)短，但要能充分表達(dá)你是誰(shuí)、你熱愛(ài)什么。”如果你不確定該寫(xiě)些什么，問(wèn)一問(wèn)你現(xiàn)在或以前的同事（或老板），讓他們?nèi)鐚?shí)告知你的優(yōu)點(diǎn)。可能會(huì)有驚喜。 3. 改善你在網(wǎng)上的形象 檢查你的LinkedIn主頁(yè)，確保里面的日期、職務(wù)和簡(jiǎn)歷上的一致，刪掉Facebook主頁(yè)上那些傻照片，這是基本要求。除此之外，布萊森建議建立自己的個(gè)人網(wǎng)站。通過(guò)GoDaddy和WordPress等提供的全套服務(wù)，花費(fèi)寥寥（或者免費(fèi)）就能輕松建立個(gè)人網(wǎng)站，說(shuō)不定你還能從中感受到樂(lè)趣。“你的網(wǎng)站不用太精美。”她說(shuō)，“但如果能在http://www.JaneDoe.com上做幾個(gè)頁(yè)面，放上幾個(gè)工作案例，加上你最喜歡的名言、照片或者任何你覺(jué)得可以讓潛在雇主了解你當(dāng)前職業(yè)狀況的內(nèi)容，會(huì)很有幫助。”把個(gè)人網(wǎng)站的鏈接和你的聯(lián)系方式一起加到簡(jiǎn)歷里。 4.一定要在簡(jiǎn)歷的末尾加上興趣愛(ài)好 過(guò)去幾年，職業(yè)簡(jiǎn)歷寫(xiě)手已經(jīng)不流行在簡(jiǎn)歷里寫(xiě)空閑時(shí)間做什么這個(gè)話題了，但是布萊森強(qiáng)烈建議把它加回來(lái)。“這就是你的‘文化契合宣言’。”她說(shuō)。“只用寫(xiě)上兩三句話，為你的形象增加點(diǎn)色彩，給別人多一點(diǎn)線索了解你是個(gè)什么樣的人，你是否能融入到企業(yè)文化中。”不用是什么意義重大的事。她最近看到的簡(jiǎn)歷里寫(xiě)的有：“我喜歡健身”、“我是個(gè)嚴(yán)肅的網(wǎng)球愛(ài)好者”、“我熱愛(ài)英式幽默”、“我每周給兒子的足球隊(duì)當(dāng)三個(gè)晚上的教練”，甚至還有“我是達(dá)拉斯牛仔隊(duì)的狂熱粉絲。” 除了能讓你堆滿關(guān)鍵詞的簡(jiǎn)歷看起來(lái)更人性化，談一談下班后喜歡做什么是非常實(shí)用的開(kāi)場(chǎng)白。“相比起公事公辦的‘談一談你自己’，”她說(shuō)，“如果面試者對(duì)你有所了解，就能自然而然地找到話題開(kāi)啟談話。”（財(cái)富中文網(wǎng)） 安妮·費(fèi)希爾是職場(chǎng)專家、問(wèn)答專欄作家，為《財(cái)富》雜志以21世紀(jì)工作生活指南為主題的Work It Out專欄撰文。 譯者：Agatha? |
No doubt about it, concocting a resume that will lead to a job interview is trickier than it used to be. On the one hand, most employers now use some form of an automated applicant tracking system (ATS) whose algorithms are designed to select only those CVs whose keywords match the ones in the formal job description. So if you don’t include all of those, your resume is unlikely to pass muster. But on the other hand, a resume that is little more than a dry chronicle of relevant keywords won’t inspire the humans who may (eventually) read it to want to meet you. “Once you get past the ATS, the decision to hire you—or even to call you in for interview—usually depends 60% on qualifications and 40% on likeability,” notes LT Ladino Bryson, who spent 20 years as an in-house headhunter for big record companies, including Columbia and Sony Music. She’s now CEO of recruiting portal vCandidates.com. “People work with other people, after all, not with lists of keywords.” Bryson suggests these four ways to create a resume that stands out in 2018 and lets your true one-of-a-kind wonderfulness shine through: 1. Create a different resume for each job opening The best way to keep your CV from reading as if C3PO wrote it is to include only those keywords that appear in the description of a particular job. Yet, to save time, many job hunters put together an all-purpose resume loaded with every conceivable keyword, and then send it everywhere. “Trying to put in everything you’ve ever done, and every single credential you have, is not only boring, but worse, it will make you seem confused about what you’re looking for right now,” says Bryson. “Targeted versions for specific jobs will take you some extra time up front, but they make it easier for the right recruiters to spot you quickly.” 2. Start your resume with a sincere “mission statement” The short paragraph at the top of a resume that tells what you’re all about is important—but only if it’s not so larded with cliches (“self-starter”, “team player,” “world-class innovator,” and so on) that it sounds phony. “This is your first chance to infuse your CV with your real personality, so make it count,” Bryson suggests. “Keep it brief, but make it convey who you are and what you love.” If you’re not sure what to include, try asking current or former colleagues (or bosses) for their honest perceptions of your strengths. You may be pleasantly surprised. 3. Amp up your online persona Beyond the basics—like checking to make sure the dates and titles on your LinkedIn profile match the ones on your resume, and expunging goofy Facebook photos—Bryson recommends creating a personal website. Outfits like GoDaddy and WordPress have made this cheap (or free) and easy, and you might even have some fun with it. “Your site doesn’t have to be elaborate,” she says, “But it’s often really useful to have a few pages at http://www.JaneDoe.com with examples of work you’ve done, favorite quotes, photos, and anything else you think would help to give prospective employers some insights into your career so far.” Put the link on your resume along with your contact information. 4. Do mention hobbies and interests at the bottom of your resume How you spend your spare time is a topic that has gone out of fashion among professional resume writers in the past few years, but Bryson is all for bringing it back. “Think of this as your ‘culture fit statement’,” she says. “The idea is to offer just two or three sentences that provide a little extra color—little clues into what you’re like and how you’ll fit in to the culture.” It needn’t be anything earthshaking. Recent examples she’s seen: “I love to work out,” “I’m a serious tennis buff,” “I’m partial to British humor,” “I coach my son’s soccer team three nights a week,” and even “I’m an avid Dallas Cowboys fan.” Besides humanizing your keyword-laden resume, a few words about what you like to do when you leave work can be a handy ice breaker. “Instead of just the standard request to ‘tell me about yourself’,” she says, “knowing something about you gives the interviewer a way to start that conversation.” Anne Fisher is a career expert and advice columnist who writes “Work It Out,” Fortune’s guide to working and living in the 21st century. |
