简历写作十大热点问题

　如果你花些时间到Monster简历贴士和说明信贴士留言板上阅读文章的话，你就会发现有些问题会一次又一次的出现。这些问题体现了许多人对于简历和说明信写作一直存在很多疑惑。在这里我们整理出了10个出现频率最高的问题并且为大家逐一解答：

　　简历有哪些形式？

　　最常用的三种格式分别是倒叙型，功能型（“技能型”）和综合型（“混合型”或者“改进时序型”）。这里给出每一种格式的定义：

　　•倒叙型：倒叙型简历强调工作经历，由教育背景和工作经历部分开始，同时也提供全面的职业历史信息。倒叙型简历最适合那些有着稳定的工作经历，没有转行的求职者。

　　•功能型：有跳槽经历、较长时间没有工作和转行经历的求职者通常会使用功能型简历。

　　•综合性：对于大多数求职者来说这种格式是一个很好的选择，因为综合型简历开头的资历总结让求职者能够快速展示自己的卖点，吸引招聘经理继续阅读自己的简历。

　　我的简历是否应该只有一页呢？

　　你不一定要这样做。“简历一页”规则不再适用了。经历较少的应届毕业生的简历也许一页就够了，但是对于经历丰富的职业人员来说，简历通常需要两页或者更多。对于一份两页的简历，确保你最重要的资历在第一页上。

　　我该用哪种字体？

　　对于要以电子邮件形式寄出的电子格式的简历，选择大多数电脑系统默认的标准的字体。可以选择Arial、 Book Antiqua、Century Schoolbook、 Garamond、Tahoma、Times New Roman和Verdana等格式的字体。

　　写简历的时候我应该使用哪种时态？

　　过去的工作经历使用一般过去时。对于现在的工作，取得的成绩应该使用一般过去时，而工作职责则应使用一般现在时。

　　简历当中要包含自己的薪金信息么？

　　不，除非你写的是公职人员简历。指出过去的薪金情况或者现在的薪水要求可能会让你失去获得工作的机会。如果招聘者要求写上期望工资，在你的说明信里写上像这样的一句话：“如果我们彼此对对方都有兴趣，我很高兴我们能够再谈薪水的问题。”如果让你给出一个数字会让你有压力，给出一个范围，为你后来的协商留下回旋的空间。

　　你也可以单独创建一份薪金历史单来概括你过去的收入情况。

　　我的简历应该附上一封说明信么？

　　是的，一封好的`说明信能够帮助推销你的优秀才能和展示你的专业水准。

　　如果我没有做出过什么成绩，我的简历里应该怎么写呢？

　　也许你觉得你只是做你该做的工作，但是想想如何让你的工作表现能够吸引你的未来老板。问问你的同事或者主管你的表现如何，然后重新审查一下你的书面评价。你很可能会发现原来你其实有很多优异成绩可以写入简历。

　　我的简历需要“工作目标”这一部分么？

　　你的简历应该强调自己的职业目标，这样招聘经理才能够快速的了解你的工作目的。但是，你不一定需要在简历当中包含一个正式的“工作目标”部分。你可以把你的目标合并到一个叙述性的资历总结当中。使用“Monster简历制作程序”，它为你提供的选择能够派上用场。

　　我应该怎样掩盖自己工作经历当中的断层呢？

　　尽管大多数招聘者更喜欢那些工作经历中没有断层的应聘者，但是只有很少的一部分求职者拥有完全连续稳定的工作经历。你不能够改变过去，所以你的简历应该强调你能够提供哪些东西。如果你参加过志愿者工作、自学或者离职的正式培训，把这些经历写入你的简历中。如果你长时间没有工作，考虑使用功能型简历，这种格式的简历突出相关技能，而且降低了工作经历在简历当中的重要性。

　　我要改行，那么我的简历该怎么写呢？

　　你的改行简历应该突出与你的职业目标最为相关的那些资历和条件。也许你的某些过渡性的技能、培训、爱好以及其它的一些重要条件能够让招聘经理对你感兴趣。你最好从Monster网上求职网页上寻找工作开始，看看广告上经常提到哪些资历和条件。写下你所符合的资格条件，并把这些体现在你的简历中。


Spend any time on the Monster Resume Tips and Cover Letter Tips message boards, and you'll start to see certain questions pop up again and again, representing time-honored uncertainties of resume and cover letter writing. We've consolidated the 10 most common ones and tell you how to handle each:

What Are the Different Resume Styles?

The three most common are reverse chronological, functional (AKA "skills") and combination (AKA "hybrid" or "modified chronological"). Here's a definition of each style:

•Reverse Chronological: With a focus on work history, a reverse chronological resume leads with education or work history and provides comprehensive employment history information. Reverse chronological resumes best suit those with a steady work history who are not changing careers.

•Functional: Functional resumes often are used by job seekers with issues such as job-hopping, extended employment gaps and career changing.

•Combination: This style is a good choice for most job seekers, because a qualifications summary at the top allows for a quick sell and entices hiring managers to continue reading.

Should I Keep My Resume to One Page?

Not necessarily. The one-page resume "rule" no longer applies. New graduates with limited experience might only require one page, but experienced professionals often need two pages or more. For a two-page resume, make sure your strongest credentials are on page one.

Which Font Should I Use?

For resumes in electronic format that will be emailed, select a font that's standard on most computer systems. Good choices include Arial, Book Antiqua, Century Schoolbook, Garamond, Tahoma, Times New Roman and Verdana.

What Tense Should I Write My Resume In?

Write previous jobs in past tense. For your current job, write accomplishments in past tense and job responsibilities in present tense.

Should I Include Salary Information On My Resume?

No, unless you are writing a federal resume. Indicating your salary history or requirements could eliminate you from consideration. If the employer requests salary requirements, acknowledge the request in your cover letter with a line like: "I would be happy to discuss my salary requirements after mutual interest has been established." If you feel pressed to give a number, provide a wide range to give you some wiggle room for future negotiations.

You can also create a salary history sheet, a separate document that outlines your earnings history.

Do I Need to Send a Cover Letter with My Resume?

Yes. A well-written cover letter is a chance to market your credentials and demonstrate professionalism.

How Do I Include Accomplishments When I Don't Have Any?

You may think you just do your job, but consider what makes your work performance valuable to a potential employer. Ask your coworkers or supervisors about your performance, and review your written evaluations. You'll probably find you indeed have strong accomplishments you can mention.

Do I Need an Objective Section?

Your resume must focus on a career goal so hiring managers immediately understand your job objective. However, you don't necessarily need to include a formal Objective section. Instead, incorporate your goal into a narrative qualifications summary. On the Monster Resume Builder, use the Objective field for your summary.

How Can I Hide Gaps in My Work History?

While most employers prefer applicants with no employment gaps, very few job seekers offer a perfectly steady work history. You can't change the past, so focus your resume on what you offer. If you participated in activities such as volunteer work, self-study or formal training while out of work, include them on your resume. If long-term gaps are an issue, consider a functional resume style, which emphasizes relevant skills while downplaying work chronology.

How Do I Write a Resume to Change Careers?

Your career-change resume should highlight your qualifications that are most relevant to your new career goal. You may have transferable skills, training, hobbies or other important credentials that will interest hiring managers. A good starting point is to research jobs by searching jobs on Monster and look for qualifications frequently mentioned in ads. Write down your matching qualifications, and work them into your resume.
