【文章內(nèi)容簡介】 may be included under other listings, such as Education.PublicationsThis section is usually not included unless your publications enhance your background for the position for which you are applying. For example, if you are applying for an editorial or writing position and have publications, they might be included. If you are applying for a scientific research position in industry, include them. Inclusion of publications is often included when applying for research and consulting positions.Sometimes this section will be called Publications and Presentations. Again, include presentations if they enhance your qualifications for the position.SkillsThis section can include laboratory skills, foreign language ability, puter skills, and other skills that are important for your search. Here is an example:SkillsLanguage: fluency in French, reading proficiency in RussianComputer: Microsoft office, C++Scannanble Resumes and Electronic SubmissionMany organizations are scanning resumes and maintaining their own databases from which they can screen applicants. Other firms are using online databanks, which store scannable information about job seekers. You may receive notices from various firms on and off the Internet encouraging you to send them your resume. The resumes you send will differ from the traditional resumes you have been using. Because puters scan your resume in as an image, not as text, there are some guidelines you should follow: Use white or lightcolored 8 1/2 by 11inch paper. Be sure to print only on one side. Leftjustify the entire document. Use a laser or highquality Inkjet printer. Do not fold or staple the document. Choose a standard 10 14 point font type. Use ample white space to separate sections of your resume. Keep name, address, and phone numbers on separate lines to avoid them being merged and unreadable. If you are a more experienced candidate who requires two pages, be sure that your name is at the top of the second page to ensure that both pages are viewed as one document. Don39。t use italics, underlining boxes, shading, graphics, hollow bullets or other design features as puters are unable to read them. Avoid parentheses, brackets, horizontal or vertical lines they will not scan properly. You may use ALL CAPS or a boldface type to indicate section headings. If you are sending your resume electronically, send it in ASCII or text with line breaks format instead of regular/formatted text. More and more employers are accepting Word attachments. There are many things to consider when sending a web resume。 visit The Riley Guide to Internet Resumes for some additional suggestions. Send a cover letter if you are responding to an ad and send a hardcopy of all the documents by mail. Use key words, which is another way to describe your assets in your resume, because that is what the databases need. Degrees, names of schools, licenses or certificates honors/awards, numerical dates specifying the month and year ( Jan. 2000 Mar. 2002) for time periods instead of text (two years), abilities and training can all be key words. Results and acplishments may be more helpful than duties. Try to use terms that are used within the industry that you are considering, as these may be key words. Remember, you are striving to be as close a match as possible. The more key words that you match, the better your chances will be for consideration.International ResumesResumes in different countries may call for a different format than one for a position within the United States. In Sweden, the resume includes a date of birth. A personal photograph paperclipped to the righthand corner is included in the German resume. In the United States, on the other hand, one should never include a date of birth or photo. It is important to be aware of these different practices when preparing a resume. Check out these web sites for more information:Here are some monsense rules for creating a r233。sum233。: Try to keep a r233。sum233。 to one page, particularly for business and media fields. (There is a rough rule of thumb that more than 10 years of experience warrants a second page.) If it goes to a second page, make sure the first page contains essential information and the second page includes your name. Often you can present the second page as an addendum listing publications and similar material, as Erin does. Make the r233。sum233。 visually effective to municate professionalism and clarity. Make it easy for the eye to scan, using capital letters, bold print, underlining, and spacing to highlight your strongest credentials. Don39。t make it too dense, busy, or cute. Use a white or cream bond paper (the same as for your cover letters). Be consistent in your use of grammatical structure and style, and make sure your grammar and spelling are perfect. Proofread your r233。sum233。 several times and then have someone else proofread it as well. Use accurate, accessible language。 be judicious about abbreviations and jargon even those of your targeted career. Be aware that information presented at the beginning of a section, at the lefthand margin, or in a column gets extra emphasis。 therefore, it is generally not advisable to put dates in the margins. (Note, however, that dates in the margin appear to be standard for r233。sum233。s in business fields.) Present information in order of its importance。 for example, if you happen to have substantial experience or want to deemphasize your doctorate, put Experience before Education. Or consider putting a Skills summary first if that is your strongest point. Erin places Education first because it is important for a job in science publishing and writing, and because she has relatively little relevant experience. One increasingly mon beginning for a r233。sum233。, which Erin has adopted, is a Summary or Highlights of Qualifications section. Here you summarize the qualifications m
