巧用關鍵詞 使英文簡歷吸引人

          As many as 80% of employers use keywords to decide which resumes are worth a look. Using the right resume keywords can get you noticed and earn you an interview. Heres how:

    80%以上的僱主都會根據 簡歷 中的關鍵詞來決定該份 簡歷 是否值得一看。正確把握 簡歷 中的關鍵詞可以使你得到關注,為你贏得 面試 機會。原因如下:

    What  Are Keywords?

    什麼是關鍵詞?

    Keywords are used in job descriptions to describe critical job qualifications. They can be degrees, programming languages or other specialized skills. Essential keywords are usually positioned higher up in a job description, appear most frequently, and are listed as required rather than preferred skills.

    關鍵詞是用來描述你具備重要的任職資格。可以是學位,程式語言或者其他專業技能。在簡歷中,基本的關鍵詞通常都是出現在職位描述的標題中,且出現頻率很高,通常來說,關鍵詞所描述的技能是該職位所需要的而不是你最拿手的。

    How Keywords Can Get You a Job

    關鍵詞怎麼幫你找到工作

    To illustrate how keywords can get you the job, lets meet Sarah, a recruiter who works with several Fortune 500 companies. Her highest priority is to find an Executive Assistant for one of her best clients in San Francisco.

    要證明關鍵詞怎麼幫你找到工作,讓我們來看看莎拉,她擔當了很多家財富500強公司的獵頭。她目前的首要任務是為她在舊金山的最佳客戶之一找到一位合適的行政助理。

    Sarahs first step is to turn to her internal ATS -- Applicant Tracking System. Like most recruiters, Sarah uses an ATS to search her recruiting companys resume database. In Sarahs case, this database holds 700,000+ resumes.

    莎拉第一步要做的是查閱她的內部候選人追蹤系統(ATS)。和大多數獵頭一樣,莎拉利用ATS搜尋其獵頭公司的簡歷庫。在她的簡歷庫中,有70多萬封簡歷。

    The best way for Sarah to target the top candidates for this position is to search the database by keywords. So she enters the "must haves": Executive Assistant, San Francisco, Microsoft Excel, Outlook, Travel Arrangements.

    對莎拉來說,在找到最合適的候選人的最有效方法就是在資料庫中利用關鍵詞搜尋。所以她輸入“必須包括”:行政助理,舊金山,Excel軟體,Outlook,行程安排。

    Sarahs search yields 60 resumes with 90% match or better. She gives the first few resumes the 10-second scan, looking for more detailed qualifications. Sarah decides to call four candidates for a phone interview. Two pass the phone screen and are invited for an in-person interview. One lands the job.

    她搜尋到了60份大致符合要求的簡歷,有的甚至超出期望。莎拉利用10秒鐘的時間瀏覽了幾份最優秀的簡歷,根據更加精確的職位資質進一步縮小了候選人的範圍。最終她決定給四個候選人打電話。在電話 面試 中,篩選了兩個,然後親自對剩下的兩個進行了 面試 ,最後給這份工作找到了一個合適的人。

    If you were applying for this job and your resume didnt have the right keywords -- even if you had all the necessary qualifications -- you wouldnt have had a chance.

    在 求職 中,使你具備了所有的必備資歷,只要你的簡歷中沒有任何的關鍵詞,那麼你甚至連面試的機會都沒有。

    How to Use Keywords Effectively

    怎麼樣有效的利用關鍵詞

    Step 1: Create your keyword list.

    步驟一:建立你的關鍵詞清單

    Look at the job descriptions for the positions youre seeking and note the "must haves." From this list, identify the qualifications that you possess. Choose at least eight skills that you have and that are most sought after by employers.

    看看職位描述以及所要求的必備技能是如何寫的。在清單上列出你具有的相關技能,至少列出僱主需要的而你正好具備的八大技能。

    Step 2: Add a summary of skills to your resume.

    步驟二:在簡歷上總結你所具有的技能。

    Add the keywords from your list to a "Summary of Skills" section at the top of your resume.

    在簡歷中,實用關鍵詞總作為標題總結你的技能。

    Heres an example for an Executive Assistant:

    以下是一份關於行政助理的.簡歷範例:

    Summary of Skills技能總結

    Advanced Microsoft Office Skills including MS Word, MS Excel, MS Outlook, MS Power Point.

    精通以下辦公軟體:Word, Excel, Outlook, PowerPoint.

    3+ years experience as an executive assistant for Fortune 500 executive.

    在一家500強公司有3年行政助理的經驗。

    Extensive experience in making travel arrangements, expense reporting and scheduling.

    在行程安排,開支報告和開支排程方面都有豐富的經驗。

    Step 3: Weave keywords throughout your resume.

    步驟三:在你的簡歷中穿插實用關鍵詞

    Also work the top keywords into the body of your resume, where relevant. For example, degree requirements would appear in your education section. Dont worry about repeating the same keywords more than once. In fact, keyword frequency counts in many ATSs, so this can work in your favor.

    在簡歷的正文使用與標題相關的關鍵詞。例如:在教育一欄寫上你的學位。重複使用同一個關鍵詞也沒關係。實際上,大多數ATS系統也會計算關鍵詞的頻率,所以重複使用關鍵詞對你更有幫助。

    When possible, use different forms of the same keyword to account for different search terms, including abbreviations and synonyms. So, if you reference your MBA also include the phrase Master of Business Administration.

    可能的話,儘量使用不同的詞來表達同一個意思,比如多使用縮寫,同義詞替換,這樣可以擴大你的符合條件。所以,如果你提及MBA的話,也可以用短語“Master of Business Administration”(工商管理碩士)來表達。

    Adding the right keywords will get you over the first hurdle of the job search and help you land the job that you want.

    使用合適的關鍵詞,可以幫助你順利的邁過 找工作 的第一道門檻,並且能幫你得到你想要的工作。
