Business english Lesson 1 the resume / curriculum vitae
A resume is also referred to the Latin terms curriculum vitae ( the course of one’s life ) or vita brevis ( a short life. Whatever name it bears, this document presents, usually one or two pages and in the form of a list, a summary of an applicant’s job objective, education, work experience, personal experiences, extracurricular activities, achievements, honours, etc. Sent out with a cover letter that is addressed to a specific person in the company, the resume is intended to introduce the applicant to a potential employer and to elicit a request for further information about the applicant and ultimately for an interview.
The resume and the cover letter should be neatly and attractively typed on good paper. The physical appearance alone of these documents could make a crucial impression on the reader. You cannot afford to be careless in preparing these documents. Remember that you are trying to sell yourself and the service you have to offer. So in listing your assets and achievements, do not misrepresent yourself, either by exaggerating or by downplaying your merits. For example, if you mention that you have a four-year Grade Point Average of 3.8, you do not have to boast that you have been an excellent student.
There are two kinds of basic resumes: chronological and functional. If your work experience was fairly continuous and in related areas, use a chronological resume, which lists your work experience in reverse order. A functional resume, developed on the basis of three or four skill areas, can be used if you were in and out of the job market at various times or if your work experience does not appear directly related to the job for which you were applying.
There is no one-and-only way to write a resume, but some good basic guidelines to follow are: be brief, be clear, be neat, be honest. The best resume describes your qualifications on only one page; its general idea is to give the employer a preview of you before an interview takes place.
How to write resume:
1. Name, address, home phone, business phone.
List this information prominently at the top of the page. Be sure to give yourself phone numbers; a prospective employer should know where to reach you, day or evening. If you do not wish your present employer to know you are job hunting, ask someone to take messages for you when you are at work.
2. Position objective, as specific and brief a job title as possible.
3. Qualifications in brief: a short summary highlighting your education, experience and skills to capture the attention of and assure the reader that you can do the job. Elaboration is included in the body of the resume.
4. Experience summary.
5. Education background ( can go before work experience if it is more job-related )
The purpose of this background is to indicate general and specific training for a job. A person who has little or no educational training would omit this item.
College name, City, State, Degrees, Majors, Dates. If you received no degree or you are presently attending college, give the number of units completed, major, date, place.
High school. List if you have not attended college. Add dates and areas of specialty.
6. Personal paragraph. You may wish to include a statement, describing personal attitudes towards work that make you a valuable and unique employee.
