Recently, the company has begun to lay off employees. Children in the same department have either just graduated a year or two ago, or have just arrived and have not even passed the probation period. After hearing the news, many people began to rush to submit their resumes. Xiaotong was also on the list of people who were laid off. In the afternoon, he sat next to me with his computer in his arms and said, Sister, can you help me look at my resume? Is there anything that needs to be changed? I have invested in more than a dozen companies recently, but I haven’t called any of them.

I took over his computer and looked at his resume. There was nothing wrong with the format. It was just the company he worked for and what he did. There were a few hundred words written like a running account.

I said, let me first tell you some points that you need to pay attention to when writing a resume. Then you compare it with what I said and make some changes yourself.

The following are some key points for writing a resume that I have summarized, which you can also use as a reference.

A resume is a self-promotion tool and a personal advertisement used to demonstrate your work skills and your value to future employers. The main purpose is to help you get an interview. Therefore, the content that needs to be presented on your resume is mainly work experience + performance results.

1. Self-introduction section

It is the part placed at the beginning of the resume, including some basic personal information and self-description. Many people ignore the content of self-introduction, either with a few simple strokes, or with a long and lengthy speech. I believe everyone knows how to fill in the basic information. The key is how to write a self-description.

You can start from two aspects: professional ability and personal advantages.

Professional abilities should be based on the abilities required for the position you are applying for. For example, if you are applying for content operation, you need to have better writing skills. Then you have a personal self-media and have published some articles, or have given some support to some major accounts. These "writing skills" such as submitting manuscripts are very useful. You can put links to your work directly in your resume. My personal suggestion is to pick out some past high-quality works and put them in Tencent documents or graphite documents to generate a QR code or link so that the interviewer can view them directly.

What if you don’t have any work? Or if you are applying for a position that does not require you to look at past works, you don’t need to write anything about it and just write about your personal strengths.

In terms of personal advantages, it depends on whether you are applying for a basic position or a management position leading a team. There are three most basic common workplace abilities that you need to highlight, namely communication skills, collaboration skills and learning skills. Because no matter what position you are in, being able to communicate and collaborate with the same department or across departments is the most basic ability requirement. You must also know that in the workplace, it is normal for no one to teach or guide you. The boss recruits you to do it. Living is not about learning, so you must have the ability to learn quickly and the willingness to learn independently.

If you are applying for a management position, or you have the intention to move into a management position, you need to highlight on your resume your behavior or willingness to actively summarize experience and guide other team members to learn together.

2. Work experience

Many people cannot write about work experience well, or they write it unattractively and cannot make HR attracted to you in a few seconds. This is because of work experience. Not written well. I have obviously done this project and went through the process myself, but just writing it on my resume made the other person feel that it was dispensable.

When sorting out your past work experience, I suggest that you summarize past work into separate projects based on time or content. You can refer to two principles, one is the STAR principle; the other is the MECE principle.

1. STAR principle

The STAR principle is actually the abbreviation of Situation, Task, Action and Result. Specifically: in what kind of scenario, what tools or methods were used to do what work, and what kind of effect was finally achieved.

Situation: The scene where the incident occurred

Task: The specific task you have to undertake

Action: What method or method you use to complete it

Result: What kind of result was produced?

You need to summarize your past work experience into independent projects, according to the project description, project responsibilities, specific work actions, and completed tasks. Data indicators are sorted out one by one.

But we need to pay attention to one thing. After all, we will have done various projects of different sizes in our work. We certainly cannot put them all on our resume. So what kind of work experience should we choose?

This uses the second principle.

2. MECE principle

MECE principle (Mutually Exclusive Collectively Exhaustive), the Chinese meaning is "mutually independent and completely exhaustive".

When selecting project experience, you should choose different types, important ones, large volumes, and good data effects. When writing about project execution, you should show the differences of each project and highlight the key points. Action and final data growth effects.

For example, the following are the requirements for a new media operations position I found online.

Directly recruited from BOSS

For this position, you can write project experience like this:

Project 1: Public Account Operation

Project Introduction: Independently responsible for the content operation of XX official account, independently planning and writing original content for the official account to increase followers, reading volume and customer acquisition, including but not limited to using hot topics to plan original content for the official account; according to product content and user needs, independently write and meet the requirements Tonal copywriting for public accounts; use different content forms including graphics, videos, comics, etc. to enrich public accounts.

Project results: After x years of operation, the number of fans of the official account increased from XXX to XXX, the average number of headline articles read was XXX, and the article open rate was XXX.

Project 2: Video account and Douyin account operation

Project introduction: In order to enhance the brand image and acquire customers, independently plan the video script, write original video copy, and coordinate the video shooting team Complete the shooting and editing of the video, and finally update it simultaneously on different platforms. Study the operating rules and logic of the video platform, formulate and implement content scheduling strategies, communicate with the production and research department to align product information, and regularly update product listing information, etc.

Project results: After X years of operation, the fans of Douyin/Video account increased from XXX to XXX, live broadcast X times, completed X orders, and completed XXX yuan transaction volume.

The above is just an example. The project experience you write needs to include the requirements in the JD of the position. The content can be long, so that the interviewer will have the impression that "you have done it before" at a glance. Next, he will want to talk to you in detail.

Note some of the words I bolded.

If this project is your own work, such as the operation of the public account, writing, typesetting, and activities, then you are responsible for it independently, and you must focus on it; if a project It requires the cooperation of several departments, so you need to clearly identify who is in charge and what role you play in the project. If you have a small role, you don’t need to write it down. But if the project is large enough and the impact is dazzling, it is recommended to write down your active participation. , Actively cooperate.

3. Precautions

1. Be authentic and never fake.

Needless to say, this goes without saying, especially if you go to a big factory for an interview, you have to have some idea of ??whether you can pass the test of your resume.

Don’t falsify your academic qualifications. This is a very serious integrity issue. Once discovered, as long as the company wants to let you go, it doesn't even need to compensate you.

Don’t experience fraud. Don't write things on your resume that you haven't done before. For example, you haven't worked in this company, but you wrote about the company's work experience; you haven't done this project, but you wrote that you are the person in charge of the project. You have no idea who in your circle knows each other.

Many students who have just graduated one or two years ago have changed four or five jobs in one or two years because of unclear career plans or impulsiveness. Each job only lasted a few months. what to do? After all, no company would like employees who change jobs frequently and are not stable enough. Personally, I suggest that you only write about one or two jobs that lasted for more than 6 months, and not the others. As for the incomplete timeline, you can say that you have been looking for a job or have something to do at home. If HR insists on chasing this timeline, it only means that they don’t want you, so you should quickly find another job.

2. Find the same JD from a big company as a reference

This is to allow you to refine the professional keywords needed for this position and then use them in your resume. Project descriptions should avoid colloquialisms and try to use professional words in the industry.

3. The resume must be concise

Just use the resume template that comes with Zhaopin Recruitment and BOSS Direct Recruitment. There are also many good templates in the WPS document. If you have just graduated and have little work experience, you can use a resume template with left and right layout; if you have worked for a long time and have more project experience, you can use a template with upper and lower structures.

4. Resume title

Because you can directly upload your PDF version of your resume in the background of the recruitment platform, it is best to give your resume a name, such as the position you are applying for + your name. If the email is sent separately, the subject can also be the application position + name + phone number.

If you use the system that comes with the recruitment backend to write your resume, it is best to write it on the computer and pay attention to the format after saving.
