寫履歷 有技巧TIPS FOR WRITING A RÉSUMÉ

Some dos and don’ts

也許你要申請大學，因此需要履歷。

那麼就從聯絡資訊開始：全名、地址、電話及電郵位址。

接著用幾句話說明自己進入這所大學的目標；包括選擇該校特定科系的原因。

不要以通用範本寫履歷，因為那會看起來好像同時申請好幾所大學。

將任何能讓自己脫穎而出的成就突顯出來。

接下來，列妥教育背景：高中校名及地點，GPA和畢業日期。

務必填入自己獲得的任何榮譽或曾擔任的職位。

接著寫下一些能夠顯露自己技能的課外活動；務必明確而且有創意。

例如，不要只寫「游泳」，可以寫「在校隊游了兩年」。

將所有工作經驗都囊括進來。

寫上公司名稱、自己的職務和任職時間。

列出曾經承擔的責任；接下來列出獎項、榮譽、志工經歷等。

履歷長度要保持在一頁左右。

簡單明瞭、言簡意賅。

不要誇大成就或成績。

to have vs.  hold

Well, when I hear the word "held" used in this context, it makes me think of something that I am holding in my hand or something I'm in charge of.

If you hold a position, it means that you were in charge of that position, and that is a title that belonged to you.

I think the most important part of a résumé is where you can see the person's skills and their strengths because on a résumé, you can list your degree, whether you have a bachelor's degree or a master's degree or even a PhD
