How to Write a Data Sheet1)

A data sheet or résumé is a list of your most important achievements,talents,and skills.

The first step in writing a data sheet is to gather personal information.This includes your education and experience,and other facts such as activities or hobbies.You then decide which of these facts are important enough to include on the data sheet.Each person is unique2).Therefore,there is no single list of information to include.There is also no single right way to organize a data sheet.You must carefully choose the facts you feel will help your chances of getting a particular job.Exclude anything you feel would not be of help.Most data sheets include the following information in some order.

1. Personal Data

2. Education

3. Work Experience

4. Activities

3. References3)

Your strongest points should get the most emphasis.These points should be placed first on the data sheet.For example,if you do not have much work experience,then stress4) educational experience or activities by placing them first on the data sheet.If you have more related work experience,then place this fact first.Usually,facts placed at the beginning get the most attention from the reader.If the facts listed first are not impressive,the employer may not read any further.

Personal Data

Following are types of personal data that you may wish to include in a data sheet.

1. your name

2. address and telephone number

3. job objective

It is helpful to the employer to know as much as possible about you.However,laws prohibit personal questions that might be used to discriminate.You may want to include the following on your data sheet:

1. data of birth

2. sex

3. health

(If handicapped,include convincing reasons why the handicap5) will not stop you from doing the job.Do not list the handicap if you feel that the interview would be a better place to discuss this.)

4.marital status

Education

A student with more education than work experience should place the education information before work experience on the data sheet.Include the following information in the education section:

1.name,location,dates of attendance,and degree awarded for all schools attended

2.special honors received

3.major area of study

4.courses pertinent to the job,if they will strengthen your case

Work Experience

For applicants who have had many related jobs,the work experience section is the most important part of the data sheet.Most applicants have at least some paid work experience they can list.List your work experience even if it does not seem related to the job for which you are applying.The fact that you have held some kind of job is a recommendation6).List all paid jobs,beginning with the last job and moving backward in time.

Employment information should include

1.name and location of company

2.job title and type of work performed

3.dates of employment and /or length of time employed Indicate part-time work where appropriate to avoid confusion.

Activities

Include activities on your data sheet if you have held positions of responsibility or gained work related experience from them.Do not list all your activities.List only those which increase your chances for the job.Include the name of the activity and any offices that you have held.Also,list the purpose of the activity if it is not clear.

References

Name at least two people who can recommend your skills.Former employers or teachers are often good choices.Also,give the name of a friend of good reputation7) who can provide a good character reference for you.In addition to stating what type of reference the person can supply(professional,character),include the following:

1.full name and address of the reference

2.telephone number(include area code)

3.title(if the person has one)

Good manners dictate that you ask the people for permission before listing their names on your data sheet.

Presentation

The data sheet should be well organized and neatly typed so that it is easy to read and nice to look at.The employer may consider the way the data is presented as a sign of your ability to organize material.Use parallel constructions in presenting each part of the data sheet.Use short phrases rather than long,complete sentences to give the information.

Data sheets should be no longer than one typewritten page.If you have many jobs and schools to list,include only the most relevant.

Use good quality white bond paper and a dark typewriter ribbon when typing the data sheet.Make corrections neatly.There should be no grammartical8),punctuation9),or spelling errors in the data sheet.The employer may form a first impression of you from the looks of the data sheet.This first impression could be the deciding factor when the hiring decision is made.

如何写简历

个人简历是你最重要的业绩、才干和技能的一份表格。

写简历的第一步是收集个人资料。它包括你所受的教育和社会经历,以及其他诸如社会活动与业余爱好等材料。然后,你决定哪些事实重要,应将它们写入简历。各人的情况都是不一样的。所以,写个人简历没有单一的模式,也没有组织编写的固定单一的方法。你必须仔细选择那些你认为能够帮助你赢得某份工作的事实材料,并且删除那些你认为无益的东西。绝大多数个人简历包括如下一些内容:

1.个人资料

2.教育

3.工作经历

4.社会活动

5.推荐人

你的强项应予大力强调,应写在个人简历的最前边。例如:如你没有多少工作经历,那就要强调你的教育程度或社会活动,把它们置于简历的最前列。如你有相关的工作经历,那就把它放在前面。通常,放在开头的资料最能得到阅读者的注意。如果列在前面的资料不吸引人,雇主可能就不会读下去。

个人资料

以下是一些你可能要列入简历中的个人资料类别。

1.你的姓名

2.地址和电话号码

3.求职目标

让雇主尽量详细地了解你是大有益处的。然而,法律禁止列入那些可能被利用来进行歧视的个人问题。你可能需要在简历中列入如下内容:

1.出生日期

2.性别

3.健康状况

(如有残疾,应列出它为何不影响你应聘那份工作的令人信服的理由。如果你认为面试时谈比较合适的话,你可不写入残疾状况。)

4.婚姻状况

教育

一个接受教育较多而缺乏工作经历的学生,在简历中应该先写教育状况,后写工作经历。教育部分应列入如下内容:

1.所入各学校的名称、校址、入学日期、学位

2.获得的特别奖励

3.主修课程

4.与所申请工作有关的能增加你实力的课程

工作经历

对于那些有过多种有关的工作经历的应聘者,工作经历部分是简历中最重要的部分。多数应聘者至少要列出某项有薪水的工作经历。你还应列上那些即使看起来与你的应聘工作无关的工作经历,因为你曾从事过某项工作这一事实也是一种推荐参考。列出所有的有酬工作,从最近一项工作开始,按时间倒着排列。

就业经历方面的资料应包括:

1公司名称及地址

2.所担任的工作职位及类型

3.受聘日期和(或)工作期限 如系非全日工作,请标明,以免造成误会。

社会活动

你简历上所列入的社会活动,应是那些你所担任的某些负责工作或从中获得了相关的工作经验的活动。不要列出所有的社会活动。只需列出那些能增强你应聘机会的活动。其中应写明活动的名称和你所担任的职务。如果有不清楚的地方,你还需介绍一下该项活动的宗旨。

推荐人

至少写明两名可以推荐你的技能的人。前雇主或老师常常是最好的人选。此外,还要写上能证明你人品好的有声望的朋友的名字。除了要写明推荐人对你专业和人品可提供哪种推荐材料外,还要写入下列内容:

1.推荐人的全名和地址

2.电话号码(包括地区代号)

3.职务(如果推荐人有的话)

在将他们的姓名列入你的简历前,最好先征得他们的同意。

陈述与格式

个人简历应组织有序,打印整洁,悦目易读。雇主可能把提交的简历看作是你组织材料能力的表现。在陈述每个部分时要采用同一的结构形式,用短语而不要用完整的长句。

个人简历不可太长,不要超出一张打印纸。如果你有多种工作经历和学历,只需列出最有关的即可。

打印个人简历时需用优质上乘白纸与黑色打字机墨带。修改要干净整洁。不应存在语法、标点或拼写错误。雇主可能从你简历的外观形成对你的第一印象,而这第一印象可能是雇用与否的决定性因素。
