What are the weights of your resume?


It is said that the resume is the first stepping stone when applying for a job. What is the weight of the resume? At the talent exchange market held in Zhongshan at the end of last month, the corporate resumes of various companies were recruited, and the resumes of job seekers were endless. After visiting a number of recruitment companies, the author found that: Generally speaking, job seekers with work experience do not spend too much time on the design of resumes. Their resumes are relatively simple, usually only one or two pages, and the content focuses on their work experience. Points such as education, contact information, etc. are clearly explained. Relatively speaking, recent graduates or job seekers who have left the campus soon have a taste of eight cents across the sea and their magical powers. Their resumes are usually thick and contain almost all of their relevant job search materials: height, weight, vision, social practice activities, interests, ideals, skills, personality traits, transcripts, certificates of honor, Publishing a work... is like a small self-presentation. Just a self-recommended book, some students have three or four different versions, Chinese, English, Japanese, Russian... In addition, the design of the cover format has also been hollowed out, and the production has been varied. Mr. Xie is an undergraduate student in law who graduated in 1996. He is a native of Jiangxi and has worked as a teacher and lawyer. He presented a one-page resume with the intent to apply for a legal position in a tobacco company. He believes that the resume is just a matter of decorating the facade. It has little to do with the success rate of job hunting. The pros and cons of interviews are the key to success. He also said that whether the company recruits you, the focus is on your personal qualities, including professional quality, communication skills, eloquence, work experience, etc. The true quality and ability can only be revealed in the long-term practical work. Not a piece of paper can be replaced. In this regard, graduates hold another view. Recently, a survey pointed out that graduates generally spend nearly a week producing their resumes, and preparations before production take about a month. Adong is a recent graduate of a foreign trade university in Guangzhou. His point of view is: "At the job fair, the time for real face-to-face communication with the company is very short. When you talk, there is a large group of people behind. If you are not a particularly prominent person, it is difficult to impress them. In this case, the resume can be left to the recruiters to look back and let them know more about themselves. The resume is another important self-display. Windows.” Adong also made three versions of resumes purposefully for the focus and requirements of the recruiting unit. He said: "The bees with needles are always much stronger than the 'blind head flies'. What kind of materials do the employers need? I will provide any materials. If the letter of submission is submitted to any company, it will only be the same. Reduce the success rate of employment.” He also told the author that on the first day of the talent exchange meeting, he has cast more than ten resumes. “Growing the net and fishing more” is a strategy for his job hunting. The person in charge of the personnel department of a certain unit said: "This question is difficult to say. The simplicity and detail of the resume is basically not directly related to the success of the application. This depends on the company's employment standards. The same one is only One-page resumes, some units will say that they are concise and clear, and others say that it is perfunctory. However, one thing is certain, that is, try to highlight your own unique place in this written material. It's best to let your expertise stand out on these thin sheets of paper. For example, if you are learning Chinese, you should show your writing level." The human resources manager of another joint venture said: "Basically, whether it is What kind of business, resume is only a reference for hiring, this material is helpful to his employment, but not absolute. Work experience, ability, etc. are factors that are seriously considered. Students who have just come out of campus, They are all newborn burdocks, and they are eager to show their strength. This is understandable. It is necessary to highlight yourself, but it must not be overstated. On the contrary, Can be too modest, secretive will only have to cover their own highlights bleak. "
