讓已經寫過英文履歷的你,檢驗自己的內容是否有符合我提醒的重點;如果你是正準備要動手寫英文履歷的人,這篇文章剛好提供你一個英文履歷的撰寫起步。每年的五、六月份,正是校園新鮮人畢業,準備邁向人生第一份工作的重要準備期。相信你早就發現,無論是透過求職網路的途徑或者是企業徵才的博覽會等,除了中文履歷外,個人的英文履歷、英文能力檢定證明等,也早就是求職的必要文件了!
英文履歷有6大要素
1. 個人資料 Contact Information

此欄位內容包含:Full Name(全名)、Address(地址)、Cell Phone Number( 手機號碼)、Home Phone Number(家用電話)、Email Address(電子信箱)。
2. 應徵職務 Job Objective / Position Desired
這個欄位你必須標明最想申請的職位,如何與你的目標、願景與你的能力、經驗作連結?
【重點】
A.不要用一堆華麗卻空泛的詞藻,例如“I am looking for a challenging position.”(我在找一個充滿挑戰性的職位)或“a job which offers me an opportunity for growth and advancement”(可以讓我成長與進步的職缺)在英文履歷當中,上述這些話給人不著邊際的感覺,好像有寫跟沒寫一樣。
那具體的寫法可以怎麼呈現呢?以下為示範:
Aside from my people management skills, my five years of active experience in the relative field shall prove to be valuable for your organization.
(註:上述內容取材自Martin John Yate, 1993. The ultimate CV book: write the perfect CV and get that job. Kogan Page, U.K.)
B.必須將應徵職位破題點出。
C.底線標誌處就是連結到你的能力與經驗。
3. 個人專長 Summary
於此,你應該精簡點出個人專業領域上的成就、所擅長的專業技巧/技術,或者提出相關的學科領域、相關證照等關鍵字,來證明你符合應徵職位的要求。
例如:
Concentration in the high-technology markets.
A self-motived person imbibing quality education with dual specialization in Engineering and Applied Mechanics.
4. 教育 Education

5. 個人能力 Skills
