选择简历
创造性的简历—No matter how clever the design, a résumé will still need to convey to the employer your potential to bring value to the organization. If you put all your effort into the style of your résumé, you may neglect to develop the substance. Focus first on the content of your résumé. 想想你作为志愿者做过的有创意的项目, 组织成员, 员工, or intern that demonstrates your talents. 雇主们建议通过作品集来提升创造力. Research the organization to which you’re applying and try to determine if a more cutting-edge résumé design is your best bet. 如果公司每个职位收到数百个résumés, 你可能会选择一个从其他设计中脱颖而出的设计. If using a more creative style, be mindful of the fact that some Applicant Tracking systems may not be able to read the graphics, 文本框, etc.
Resumes for Government Jobs— Résumés for federal jobs include more details than those written for jobs in private industries. You can begin building a résumé for federal employment in the same way you build any résumé--by listing jobs, skills, 成就, 项目, 领导职位, 和活动. After generating this list, visit www.federaljobresume.com or www.usajobs.gov 学习如何将你的资料转换成所需的格式.
国际的简历—If you are interested in working in another country, be sure to research guidelines for writing an appropriate résumé for your desired location. A resource that may help you is www.transitionsabroad.com.
The Military-to-Civilian Résumé 军事经验提供了发展一系列技能的机会, many of which transfer to civilian jobs. When you review potential job descriptions, you may quickly identify specific responsibilities in the military that allowed you to learn or strengthen those skills and abilities. Once you begin targeting jobs, you’ll want to write a résumé that includes your military 经验 described in terms readily understood by someone without a military background. 避免使用军事术语、缩写和首字母缩写. Focus on the skills you developed in leadership, 沟通, 团队合作, 管理, 监督, 培训, 翻译, 协调, 规划, 监控, 和组织. A resource to help you translate your military 经验 and job titles into terms familiar to civilian employers is the Veterans’ 就业 & Training Service Transition Assistance Program: www.dol.gov /审查/项目.

Cover Letter Writing Tips
Once you’ve identified positions to apply for, it’s time to prepare your application materials. You should include a cover letter each time you submit your résumé for a position. The cover letter is your opportunity to highlight your skills and qualifications and to explain why those 经验s make you a good candidate for the job. Do not just reiterate your résumé. Instead, focus on several key areas and go into detail including what you did and what you learned.
- 总是 裁缝 your cover letter to the specific organization and job for which you are applying. Research the organization and include sentences that correspond to the job duties or qualifications from the job description. 雇主会知道你的求职信是否是通用的和大批量的.
- When submitting a résumé by email, consider the body of your email as the cover letter. 在你的电子邮件签名中包含你的联系方式.
- When submitting your application by web upload or mail, the cover letter should be typed in the same font as your résumé in business letter format. 求职信的标题应该与résumé的标题相匹配. The letter should be 3 or 4 paragraphs and should not exceed one page in length.
记住,求职信是你写作能力的一个样本. 雇主 will assume that the quality of your letter is indicative of the quality of your work. Proofread and spell check carefully!
称呼 – Never address your letter "To Whom it May Concern.” If you don't know whom to send the letter to, call and request the name of the person who is responsible for hiring entry-level professionals in your area. You can also check the company’s website directory to find names of people to contact. 一定要记下姓名和头衔(以及正确的拼写). 只要有可能, avoid sending your letter to the personnel department as it generally does not have the power to hire - only the power to screen you out.
节中,我 – Your opening sentence should state the purpose of your letter (your objective). Mention a name if you have permission (e.g., John Smith recommended I contact you.). 你还应该提到你是怎么知道这份工作的,以及为什么你对这份工作感兴趣. 试着让第一段有趣以吸引读者的注意力.
第二节 -强调你所拥有的能让你胜任这份工作的特殊优势, 但是不要一字不差地重复résumé上的信息. Highlight coursework, skills, or 经验s that will be of greatest interest to the organization. Reference actual job duties from the job description. This section can be more than one paragraph and should answer the question, “Why should I hire you?“将你的技能和经验与职位描述相匹配.
第三节 – Thank the reader for their consideration. Indicate your desire for a personal interview and state how the employer should contact you (phone, email). Offer any assistance to help in a speedy response.
