Report and Technical Writing--Resume
Definition
A resume is a short written account of one’s education and previous job that one sends to an
employer when looking for a job. It is an important tool careering as it helps make an initial
impression on the potential employer
It is a brief summary of one’s life history or the main events of his/her life, and it gives a brief, factual
summary of your qualification beginning with the writer’s birth and followed by a list of his/her education
background, work experience, professional accomplishments and hobbies, while a resume cover letter explains
your qualification to show well you can fit in the position.
II. Types (or formats) of resume
Your resume format could make a considerable difference to the information that a reader derives.
Keep in mind
There is no correct or standard resume format
Your resume format should be appropriate to your position
Your chosen resume format must not be seen as a method of concealing information
You must follow a consistent format in all sections of your resume
The following resume types (formats) are provided for the writer to choose
1. Basic format(基本型): It contains the most basic information such as education experience as
well as general personal information. It is the ideal format chosen by students who has had no
work experience
2. Chronological format(经历型): It is arranged in the order of time. More appropriately it is
arranged in the reverse time order as you list the most recent education attainment and work
experience first. This format is by far the most popular kind of format. Aspiring business majors
looking for a job should use this format, unless they have worked in a wide variety of functional
areas.
3. Functional format(功能型): It is based on certain particular skills for a prospective job. It
presents a good perspective on what you can do rather than on when you did it. Business
students wanting to show highly diverse work experience should choose this format.
4. Combination format(混合型): Purely functional resume is not popular anymore. Many people
prefer to use a combination of functional and chronological formats instead.
5. Targeted format(目标型): If you have a fairly single-tracked career so far and intend to remain
on the same track, you can use this format. This means you can use language and key words that
are local to your industry. A targeted format could be in the chronological format or in the
functional format or a combination.
Each format has various advantages and disadvantages, depending on the different background
and purpose of the applicant. Applicants can add or delete some sections on the basis of the one
of the above formats to design a very individual and special resume.
III. Tips for writing a good resume
Most employers are busy people who normally just glance at a resume for only 10 to 20 seconds.
They have got no time to read your resume. In other words, your resume is scanned, not read. So
one’s resume must sufficiently catch their attention to pass the 10 to 20 second evaluation test. A
resume must follow four basic principles for effectiveness
1. Catch the reader’s (employer’s) attention
2. Persuade the reader of your benefits or value
3. Convince the reader with evidence
4. Move the reader to acquire the product
To follow these principles, a good resume should be effective in three aspects:
1) Content (内容)
a. Clearly communicate your competence in relation to the employer’s needs
The information offered in the resume should be closely related to the
objective. Try to convince the employer that you are the right person for the job
and you can solve their problems
b. Make statements with facts and figures
Applicants should keep in mind that facts and figures are more convincing
than lots of statements of accomplishments. Try not to make statements you
can’t document.
c. Avoid exaggeration
The Chinese way of modesty will not be necessary, but honesty and
integrity will still be adhered to. Exaggeration on a resume cannot be a lifelong
tactic in job hunting. Be honest. That is the best policy.
d. Exclude the irrelevant data and negative information
All the information offered by a resume should be related to the work objective and
communicate a positive image of the applicant.
2) Language (语言)
a. Easy to understand
Language should be direct, concise, and expressive. Do not use lengthy sentences and
wordy descriptions. Jargons should be avoided. Phrases and incomplete sentences are
preferable to long complex sentences.
b. Keep consistent
Do not change verb tense. Try to use the same kind of phrases and structures.
c. Positively toned rather than negatively toned
Instead of saying “never failed”, say “always did well”, or “always
managed to”.
d. Do not refer to oneself as “I”
Too many “I’s” will leave an impression of being ego-centered. In today’s business
world, the quality of team workmanship is very much valued as that means
cooperation, communicativeness and coordination. Instead of saying “I am very
communicative and performed well”, one would better use a phrase “communicative
and with good performance”. Now you can see why phrases are preferable in resume
writing now—not only because of the briefness but also the efficiency.
e. Do check spelling, grammar, and punctuation carefully
3) Layout (编排设计)
a. Strongest point first
b. Maintain an eye-pleasing balance
c. Do not make the resume cramped and crowded
Use ample spaces and highlights for achieving a neat appearance and an
impression of being well organized and professional.
d. Get it properly sized
One page is the ideal length for a resume. If you produce a two-page resume, one of
the best formats is to attach a single supplemental page to a self-contained one-page
resume.
IV. Component sections of a resume
1) Contact information and work objective
2) Education (degrees majors, schools, dates, highlights, major courses, special training)
3) Work experience (including job titles, employers, dates, skills, accomplishments, duties
and responsibilities)
4) Skills/Qualifications
5) Honors and awards
6) Other information
7) References (two to three references: their names, positions, addresses, telephone
numbers and E-mails)
8) Personal data (gender, age, marital status, place of birth, height, weight, health)
9) Personal strength (positive personality, willingness to relocate/travel. Other information
supporting the work objective)
