再网上看到的感觉还不错，转了~~
疯狂了改了三个星期的Resume和Cover Letter，吸取了各类资源和高人（行业，Career Center等）的意见之后。终于可以Debrief一下啦。仅供大家分享，挖掘过去，开创未来。网上有很多不同版本的这些信息，不过感觉都不是很Professional，或者太泛了。。所以这篇文章是用来填补其中的漏洞的，至于基本的，就不介绍了，很多人知道的，不知道的也可以自学。。。总体来说，Cover Letter和Resume就是问“So What”，你做了无数的事情，So what? 看你简历的人都是在问这些问题，回答好了这个问题，得到Interview就没有问题啦。
(大家看完了要是觉得好，记得转发，多多支持我哟)
先讲讲Cover Letter：
目的：Win the interview (Not the job)
结构：不要乱改结构，因为很多人只看第二段
第一段：说明你为什么要申请这个职位，以及表明你已经跟公司里面的某个人谈过了（重要！这样人家不会认为你的Cover Letter是Spam）。通常的切入点是公司的培训，文化以及行业状况，工作性质等等（选择因人和工作而异）。Anyway，表现出下过一番功夫。
第二段：说明你为什么胜任职位。以Job Description为出发点，选出2-3点公司认为的重要的素质，加以阐述。特别重要的是！不要重复Resume里面提过的东西，要讲故事（但是要简洁，我下面会提到CL跟Resume不同之处），讲完故事问自己一句“So what”，说明这些故事经历对公司能有什么贡献。人家看了Resume再看CL不想浪费时间看到重复的东西。
第三段：谢谢，你的联系方式。并且说明你会Follow-up (重要！很多机会是Follow up出来的，而且人家看了会觉得第一你有诚意，真心想要这份工作)
注意事项：
1. 要知道标准格式！Professional Firm很看重Professional，如果自己很牛，但是做的东西不Pro，不要怪HR或者Manager不给机会。标准格式是什么？去Vault随便下一个Cover Letter Guide，看Sample，注意空格，空行，边距，字体，空白（空白很重要，原因？你一天工作18小时，结果让你看一张A4的纸上面全部是字。。。明白吧。。），以及电子签名。
2. 再次强调，Cover Letter写上跟Resume不同的东西
3. Cover Letter一定要很好的Tailor到每个公司，不然就是Spam，你知道Spam的下场吧
4. 将自己的Cover Letter拿给人家看，问问是不是很吸引眼球。修改CL是一个长期过程。
再来讲讲Resume吧：
目的：Win the interview (Not the job)
结构：Contact --> Education --> Experience （篇幅一半） --> Activities (如果有两个Educations, 可以对应的放到Education下面) --> Skills
格式：不要花哨，简洁，要合理的运用“空白”（跟CL同理）。只能有一页（除非你特别肯定那个HR或者忙的要死的Manager会读完你的N-page的Resume）
Education:
1. 日期写Graduation Date，不要写 XXX - Present
2. GPA，Major GPA，TOEFL，GMAT什么的，高就放，不高就省略。多少是高？GMAT 730+， GPA 3.5+
3. 学位，专业。。。。你知道的
Experience & Activities: 四个字：结果导向（量化）
相信大家做了很多事情，也学了很多东西，然后很想把他们都放到简历上面去。很多人会说我干了我在某个学生会干了很多事情，比如组织活动，策划等等。。或者实习中怎么怎么样了。。。It's OK, but so what? 所以，这里最关键的就是: Action leads to Results。什么是Result呢？看看公司的年报，他们都有自己的Key Performance Indicator，那就是Result。Investor关心的就是那些，他们不关心你中途干了多么Fancy的事情（虽然很重要）。这个道理对HR是同样的。如果你的Action只是Action，没有Result的，那意义就不大了。这里可以举点例子：
- 实习中：%的工作得到承认，Performance Assessment的评价系数，创造了多少收入，为XX部门提供了多少增长率，完成了%的年度指标。。。等等
- 学生会：Membership增长百分比（Marketing做的好不好的评价），Retention rate（人才培训做的好不好的指标），参加会议的人数（影响度），满意度（组织的成功度），Budget（规模）。。。。。反正一堆，关键是要有这个意识去想到这些。
- 然后就是参加各种比赛的得奖了。。（为什么大家喜欢得奖，因为奖项是对行动的证明。。但是多多发掘自己的过去，你也会发现即使没有奖项，你也完成了很多Result）
我相信说了这么多，大家悟性这么好，应该明白了。。看看你的简历，每句话是否有数字，是否有结果，没有？赶紧改哟 总体来说，Resume是一个悟性问题，以结果为导向，甚至可以让你在未来做事情的时候有一个清晰的目标，做事的时候更有效率，更有效能。。。。。避免酱油
Action words
- 强烈每句话的开头的Action Words都不一样！
- 每句话一定是Action words开头
- 针对申请职位需要的技能来设计Action words （附在了文章结尾）
Skills:
不要写无关的Skill，不要写Office，即使你觉得你Excel用的很好，在Experience里面表现出来。比如用Excel做了Valuation Model， Scenario Analysis，Pivot Table等等。。。
后话：
其实CL和Resume就是一个认识自己，展望未来的过程。虽然整篇文章强调了Results-oriented，但是这并不代表有些事情跟Results没有直接关系就不去干。。。个人是不喜欢这种比较功利的思想，但是business is business。。。Anyway，Enjoy your life, enjoy job hunting!
