怎样用英语写简历
用英语写简历和用母语来写肯定大不相同。以下就是标准简历模式大纲。
困难指数：难 所需时间：两小时
内容如下：
1.首先，写下你的工作经历——无论有薪酬的还是义务的，全职的或是兼职的都写下来。写
下你所负责的工作内容，职位头衔，公司信息以及所有一切相关内容。
2.写下你的教育程度，包括学位，证书，专业，重点课程，学校名称以及与该应聘岗位相关
的课程内容。
3.写下其他的相关经历，包括组织成员身份，服兵役状况以及任何其他值得记载的经历。
4.从这些条目中，挑选出与你要应聘职位相关的职业技能——这就是能让你的简历脱颖而出的关键所在。
5.在简历的开头部分，写上你的全名，地址，电话号码，传真号码以及电子邮件等。
6.写下求职意向。用一句简短凝练的话来表述你理想的岗位类型。
7.从最近的一份工作开始写下你的工作经历，包括公司的详细信息以及你的工作内容——着重强调你之前筛选出来与之相关的工作特质。
8.继续按照倒叙的顺序列举你以前的一段段工作经历。不要忘记围绕应聘岗位所需的特质来描述。
9.概括你的教育经历，包括以下重要信息（学位类型，学过的详细课程等），要与应聘工作尽量相关的内容。
10.诸如语言能力，电脑水平等其他相关信息可写在“其他能力”栏目里。
11.结束语应为：可应要求提供个人资料以供参考
12.你的整份简历最理想的长度就是一张A4纸大小。如果在你的工作经历里你还添写上了详细的年份等数据，可以适当延长至两页。
13.空格：地址应居中并且加粗，求职意向应左起空两格，经历，教育，其他能力，参考资料等都应左起空开两格。让左边栏留白除了姓名，地址等个人信息顶格以外。
小贴士：
运用夸张的动词诸如：完成，合作，激励，建立，促进，奠定，管理等词汇
绝对不要使用“我”怎么怎么样的句子，全部使用过去式，除了介绍你现任的工作外。
例如：曾负责例行检查过现场设备。（用过去式）
