求職簡(jiǎn)歷的四大致命缺陷
1. Lack of Focus
1。缺少焦點(diǎn)
The first step in a successful job search begins with identifying your goals. Clarify specifically what you want in your next job or career including your next job title. I've heard countless job seekers say, "I'll take anything" or "I'm open," when asked what kind of job they're seeking. The candidate who'll take anything, ends up with nothing。
成功找到工作的第一步是認(rèn)清你的目標(biāo)。特別要明確你在下一份工作中想要得到什么，或者你下一份工作的職位。我聽(tīng)過(guò)無(wú)數(shù)找工作的人在被問(wèn)到想找什么樣的工作的時(shí)候說(shuō)，“什么事情我都能做”，或者“做什么都行”。什么事情都愿意做的人，最后什么都得不到。
Look at your resume. What is your objective? Avoid either failing to state your objective or listing several objectives. Either extreme can work against you as you'll appear unfocused, uncommitted or unqualified. While many of us wear many hats throughout our careers, it's best to focus on only one hat, or specific job title, for the resume. Employers today tend to look more for talented players who understand and specialize in a niche rather than those who are more general in nature。
看看你的簡(jiǎn)歷。你的目標(biāo)是什么?要避免沒(méi)有目標(biāo)以及列出好幾個(gè)目標(biāo)。這兩種極端都對(duì)你不利，會(huì)讓顯得你很不專(zhuān)注、沒(méi)有責(zé)任感、不夠格。在我們的職業(yè)生涯中，很多人戴過(guò)各種各樣的帽子，最好可以把注意力放在其中一頂，或者說(shuō)一個(gè)明確的職位。就簡(jiǎn)歷來(lái)說(shuō)，比起那些什么都能做的人，現(xiàn)在的雇主更傾向于尋找那些理解力強(qiáng)有專(zhuān)長(zhǎng)有發(fā)展的人。
So ask the questions, "What's my niche, specialty?" "What special problem do I solve?" This might be one specific job title. If so, then highlight that and drop the laundry list of "qualifications."
所以問(wèn)自己這個(gè)問(wèn)題：“我到底適合什么職務(wù)?”“我能解決什么特殊的問(wèn)題?”這可能是一個(gè)明確的職位，如果是這樣，特別關(guān)注這個(gè)職位，然后在清單上劃下“資格”。
2. Ignoring the Most Important Question
2。忽視最重要的問(wèn)題
Most resumes fail to answer the employer's question, "What's in it for me?" Employers have a problem, not a job. That problem almost always revolves around money in some way. So, look for ways that you can show them a return on their investment. Since most resumes only receive about 20 seconds of actual read time, you have to answer this question quickly. A good way to accomplish this is by including a concise Unique Selling Proposition (USP) that distinguishes you from your competitors. This USP is a single sentence that describes three important things:
大部分的簡(jiǎn)歷都不能回答雇主的問(wèn)題，“簡(jiǎn)歷有什么對(duì)我有好處的?”雇主們有個(gè)問(wèn)題，而不是一份工作。這個(gè)問(wèn)題通常和錢(qián)有關(guān)。所以，尋找那些你能讓他們得到回報(bào)的方法吧。通常一份簡(jiǎn)歷被閱讀的時(shí)間只有20秒，你不得不快速的回答這個(gè)問(wèn)題。一個(gè)做好這件事的方法是使用簡(jiǎn)潔“獨(dú)特的銷(xiāo)售主張”(USP)，這能把你在競(jìng)爭(zhēng)者中脫穎而出。這份USP是一個(gè)簡(jiǎn)單的句子，它包括下面三個(gè)重要問(wèn)題：
* Who you are
* Your biggest strength
* Your primary benefit, which should be measurable
*你是誰(shuí)
*你最強(qiáng)的地方
*你為公司帶來(lái)什么可量化的初步效益
Your USP describes what you bring to the employer. Every employee either makes money or saves money for an employer. Determine how you bring value in either or both of these ways. The best branding statements usually incorporate figures in dollars or percentages of money, or time that was gained or saved over a certain period。
你的USP描述了你能為雇主帶來(lái)什么。員工對(duì)雇主來(lái)說(shuō)要么能賺錢(qián)要么會(huì)省錢(qián)。你要決定你為公司帶來(lái)的價(jià)值屬于哪一類(lèi)。最好的陳述通常混合了美元數(shù)目或者是個(gè)百分比，再或者是在一個(gè)確定的時(shí)期能能夠節(jié)省多少時(shí)間。
3. Selling Skills, Length of Service
3.銷(xiāo)售技巧、服務(wù)年限
Skills are just a commodity. Leave behind that old mindset that your job-related skills or length of service are selling factors. The new mindset is to view yourself as a mini profit-and-loss center rather than just an employee. Employers today buy results and are less impressed when a candidate promotes a laundry list of skills. Instead, define the many ways your past and present job performances are assets to your next employer。
技巧只是一種有用的東西。趕快扔掉工作相關(guān)技巧或者服務(wù)年限都屬于銷(xiāo)售因素這種老掉牙的心態(tài)。最新的觀念是把你自己當(dāng)作一個(gè)迷你的利潤(rùn)和消耗中心而不是當(dāng)作一名員工。今天的雇主都認(rèn)同結(jié)果，他們很少會(huì)被員工列出的一串技巧打動(dòng)。取而代之的是，從各種方法證明你過(guò)去和現(xiàn)在的工作表現(xiàn)適合下一個(gè)雇主。
How are you an asset to a company's balance sheet? Once again, focus on how your work either helps a company make or save money. Think beyond your skill sets and job duties and list every possible example of how you accomplish this。
怎么能把自己變成公司決算表中的資產(chǎn)呢?還是那句話，把注意力放在你能為公司賺錢(qián)還是省錢(qián)的方面�？紤]問(wèn)題要超出你的技巧和工作職責(zé)，列出每一個(gè)你完成這件事情的可能的情況。
For example, you're a video photographer recording and editing weddings and special events. You take the extra step of performing all of your post-production work before submitting your final results. Your extra effort has saved your employer several hundred hours of additional work。
比如說(shuō)，你是一名視頻拍攝師做婚禮或者其他事情的剪輯。在交出你最后的作品之前多做一步，展示出你所有的后期制作成果。你這多做的一步可能為你的老板節(jié)省好幾百的`小時(shí)的額外工作。
This translates into potentially thousands of dollars that you saved the employer. This is just the sort of achievement that must be on your resume. When you can, try to monetize, or put a dollar value on your achievements。
這就會(huì)轉(zhuǎn)化為你潛在的為老板節(jié)省了上千美元。這只是那種你應(yīng)該寫(xiě)在簡(jiǎn)歷上的事情。如果可能的話，盡量把你的成就貨幣化，或者說(shuō)在成就方面給出具體的價(jià)值。
By including several specific achievements where you've helped your employer make or save money (or time), you separate yourself from your competitors and quickly gain the attention of your reader。
通過(guò)列舉幾種你能幫老板賺錢(qián)或者省錢(qián)(或者省時(shí)間)的具體辦法，你就能在競(jìng)爭(zhēng)者中脫穎而出迅速的引起讀者的注意。
4. Sending Resumes Indiscriminately
4.無(wú)差別的投遞簡(jiǎn)歷
Once you have a great resume, it's just as important how you use it. Most job seekers blast their resume to job boards and websites' posted openings. In fact, there are some services that exist to do just that for a fee. But is this the best way to approach it?
一旦你有了一份好簡(jiǎn)歷，如何投簡(jiǎn)歷同樣是件重要的事情。大部分找工作的人都把簡(jiǎn)歷狂轟亂炸在求職板或者網(wǎng)站的的帖子里。事實(shí)上，有些地方還是要收錢(qián)的，但是這真是最好的辦法嗎?
Referencing the current economic crisis, Neil McNulty, principal recruiter of McNulty Management Group, states, "Now, more than ever, job seekers need to change their mindset from looking for 'openings' to looking for 'opportunities' ... and opportunities are borne out of crisis and chaos, and exist even in the worst economy."
談到現(xiàn)在的金融危機(jī)，招聘高管Neil McNulty說(shuō)，“現(xiàn)在比以往任何時(shí)期都需要求職者轉(zhuǎn)變觀點(diǎn)，從滿天撒網(wǎng)轉(zhuǎn)變到尋找‘機(jī)會(huì)’，危機(jī)和混亂不會(huì)影響機(jī)會(huì)，即使是經(jīng)濟(jì)最壞的時(shí)候機(jī)會(huì)也依然存在。”
This means that you, as a job seeker, must look beyond job postings and move into marketing yourself to the managers of the companies and organizations who are experiencing problems that you can solve. This can be tough at first because it means doing extra research and actually calling people who you don't know and developing conversations with them. It's those conversations, though, that will win the referrals, the interviews, and the next job for you, especially when you have a great resume to back that conversation up。
這就意味著，作為求職者的你，必須超出求職板的界限，向那些公司和企業(yè)里正面對(duì)一些你能解決的問(wèn)題的經(jīng)理們毛遂自薦。開(kāi)始可能難了點(diǎn)，因?yàn)檫@意味著你要做額外的調(diào)查而且要給那些你不認(rèn)識(shí)的人打電話和他們做進(jìn)一步的溝通。但正是這些談話，會(huì)為你贏得介紹、面試以及下一份工作，尤其在你有一份好簡(jiǎn)歷做后盾的時(shí)候。
