WRITING THE CVs (RESUME)

СОСТАВЛЕНИЕ РЕЗЮМЕ

Резюме играет огромную роль. Хорошо составленное резюме должно давать полное представление о Вашем трудовом опыте, образовании и о других деловых качествах, чтобы потенциальный работодатель (employer) мог судить о Вашей квалификации. От четкости и информативности резюме во многом зависят Ваши шансы быть принятым на работу или учебу. Часто вместо слова «resume» используют аббревиатуру CV (Curriculum Vitae), что в переводе с латыни обозначает «ход жизни».

Резюме обычно состоит из следующих основных частей:

1. Личная информация / Personal information
2. Цель / Objective
3. Образование / Education
4. Профессиональный опыт /Work Experience, или Employment
5. Специальные навыки / Special skills
6. Рекомендации / References

Personal Information

Напишите полностью свое имя и фамилию, укажите адрес, телефон (вместе с кодом страны и города); электронную почту. Если в России сначала указывают фамилию, затем имя и отчество, то в англоговорящих странах сначала указывают имя, затем — первую букву отчества, и только потом — фамилию.

Objective

Следует указать не только желаемую должность, но и в одном-двух предложениях объяснить, почему вы считаете свою кандидатуру наиболее подходящей.

Education

Пишите о том, какой вуз вы окончили. Название учебного заведения сокращать не принято. Укажите факультет и специальность, месяц и год окончания учебного заведения, средний балл аттестата.

Work Experience, или Employment

Обычно указывают не более трех последних мест работы. Укажите полностью название компании, свою должность, отдел, в котором вы трудились. Перечислите свои основные должностные обязанности.

Special skills

В разделе специальных навыков нужно указать:

а) знание иностранных языков и уровень этих знаний.

б) уровень компьютерной грамотности.

в) наличие водительских прав (driver’s license)

г) опыт воинской службы, если он есть и если он может иметь отношение к вашей предполагаемой работе.

References

Обычно рекомендаций должно быть как минимум две, и не от коллег, а от непосредственных начальников. Укажите конкретные лица, которые могут рекомендовать вас, напишите полностью имя, должность, место работы и контактную информацию ваших поручителей.
