Seeking a role as an investment analyst to advance my career in the financial industry.
寻找一份与投资分析师相关的工作,希望在金融行业有所提升。
《福布斯》杂志分析道:这种描述有以下两大问题。
第一点: 描述太过干枯 It’s dry
第二点:只重点突出了应聘者自己想要得到什么,比如这里是职业晋升,但没有写明他能为未来雇主解决什么问题。The focus is on what the candidate wants for himself—to advance his career—rather than how he can solve problems for the potential employer.
因此,《福布斯》杂志建议:
Instead of the objective statement above, try creating a headline that accentuates your value to your target company.
千万不要模仿这种“冷淡风”的描述,尝试起个标题,并突出你能给公司带来什么价值。
比如酱紫:
Financial Analyst--Transforming complex business problems in the technology sector into focused, data-backed solutions. Driving down costs, elevating reporting capabilities and improving decision-making processes.
金融分析员--能够将科技行业的复杂商业问题,转化为有数据支撑、有重点的解决方案。能够降低公司成本,提升报告能力,改善决策过程。
调查发现:36%的雇主认为如果简历过于笼统,他们就不会考虑这名应聘者。
It is found that 36% of employers identified résumés that are too generic as one of the mistakes that may lead them to automatically dismiss a candidate.
所以,千万不要给公司发送通用简历,好好调整简历,让其与工作招聘需求吻合(tailor your résumé to fit the job description),花点时间研究下这个职位到底要找怎样的人。
比如:如果职位描述表明需要市场分析和规划技能,那么把相关技能“编织”到你的简历中(weave that language into your résumé content),并用你过往分析的例子和结果来突出自己。

Squeezing Too Many Words Onto the Page
一张纸上字太多
一般来说,简历的长度没有硬性规定。
There’s no hard and fast rule about résumé length.
这似乎是显而易见的,简单的细节错误,会让HR立刻把你的简历扔进垃圾堆。
This may seem obvious, but getting simple details wrong will get your résumé tossed into the reject pile, fast.
如果你把电话号码写错了,或者职位名称或日期搞错了,会让你的简历看起来杂乱无章。
When you put an incorrect phone number down or mess up your job titles or dates, it makes your résumé look haphazard.
在这个时代,简历上不应该存在很多语法错误,没有马虎的空间。
In this day and age, there really is no excuse for a number of grammatical errors.There’s no room for sloppiness.
简历中常见的错误包括:
misuse of words (“your/you’re” and “lose/loose”),
用词错误(比如your/you’re 或者lose/loose)
words spelled incorrectly ("business" and "finance)
单词拼写错误(比如"business" "finance)
and overuse of punctuation ( commas)
标点错误(逗号等)
所以,HR提醒应聘者,不要仅仅依靠拼写检查(spell check),简历写好之后,再多检查几遍吧(get a second set of eyes on your résumé)。

Getting Too Elaborate With Formatting and Style
太过强调格式和风格
简历格式的确是重要的(Formatting is key)。
但是,如果简历太花里胡哨,太过追求排版,那么,反而会分散HR注意力。
资深HR给的建议是:
如果你在简历中添加着重符号,最好各项字体和形状保持一致,每页保持一致。
If you’re going to use bullets, they should be the same size and shape in each section and align from page to page.
当然啦,如果你想要表现都与众不同,那么,在语言上花功夫吧。
如果你的简历语言有创意,那么绝对是个加分项。
比如下面的句子就是比较有新意的语言,不仅凸显你的创意,还突出了你的成就(articulating your achievements), eg:
Ensuring business roars ahead while developing top leadership talent.
培养顶级领导才能的同时,确保企业的领先地位。
