Tips for what is important when you apply for a
job
履歷表該寫什麼？ -
2. Reference information: "Never include reference information, especially if you don't know that you want the job," says Bruce Hurwitz, president and CEO of Hurwitz Strategic Staffing. Always speak to your references first before sharing their details with prospective companies.
3. A disability: "There is a common and not unfunded fear that revealing a disability may lead to not being selected for a position. This makes the disclosure choice a difficult one." says Barbara Otto, executive director of Think Beyond the Label, a national collaborative aimed at increasing employment among people with disabilities, "A resume' is a springboard for you to give details about your skills, experience and the unique perspectives you bring to the table. You should not explicitly state your disability, but you can weave in your professional experience and hobbies that may be disability-related......Then in the interview you can use these achievements to break the ice about your disability if you choose to."
4. Grade point average: It's great if you graduated from college with a 4.0, but if you did so 10 years ago, it's probably time to remove your GPA from your resume', "A person's GPA would normally only be listed on the resume' if (he) recently graduated from college." Margolin says, "if the GPA is below a 3.0, it is usually best to leave it off. In certain circumstances, a GPA would remain on longer....some job listings require a certain GPA minimum.
5. Objective: "Never put an "objective," Hurwitz says, "the real objective is to get the job. If it is too generic, it means nothing. If it is not a perfect match for the job, the employer will ask herself, "Why is he applying if he wants something else? It's a waste of space and has no advantage."
6. A phone: If you're pursuing a modeling career, it's understandable that you would want to share a photo of yourself with the prospective employer. For most other jobs, leave the photo off. If information isn't relevant to a job, you wouldn't include it, so why would you share a photo when your appearance has nothing to do with the position?
7. Quick response code: QR codes are growing in popularity as a tool to connect employers with a candidate's portfolio or Linkedln profile. If you're submitting it online, skip the QR code, but if you're handing out hard copies - at a career fair, for example - including one might help you stand out. And don't just include a QR code for show - it should link to something interesting and applicable. Connecting the employer to an online replica of your resume' or a poorly written and sparsely updated site won't score any points.
