Resume / Краткая биография

Резюме (в английском языке сохраняется французское написание и произношение этого слова) является частью процесса устройства на работу во всех англоязычных и других странах.

Без резюме и сопроводительного письма (cover letter) вас не пригласят на собеседование (interview) с работодателем (employer).

A résumé must contain a summary of essential facts about your background:

1. Personal details

2. Career objective

3. Education

4. Work experience

5. References

Information, which indicates your suitability to the job, should be highlighted. If you have had previous experience in various phases of employment, it may be to your advantage to have two-three different résumés, each emphasising a different sphere of competence.

It is standard practice to begin the résumé with personal data. Essentials such as name, address, social insurance number, home phone number and business phone number (recommended only if your present employer is aware of your job search). Facts, such as your date of birth, marital status, and number of dependants, may also be included.

Usually this information is placed at the top of the page. (Résumé, unlike CV, Curriculum Vitae, is limited to one page only.) Be sure to include the full mailing address with a postal code. You may also add a telephone number. If you are a student with a different mailing address for winter and summer months, give your both addresses and the dates when you will be at location.

An option, which may be included in your résumé, is a brief explanation of your career objective or goals. This is usually included following personal data. If you have only one version of your résumé, it may be best to include this section in a covering letter so that you can tailor it to the specific position for which you are applying.

The structure of the next portion of your résumé will depend a great deal on extent of your work history. If you are a recent graduate with limited business experience, begin with your education first. Highlight achievements and honours, and note extracurricular activities. Expand on any courses you took which are relevant to the position you desire, or specialised training you may have participated in. Progress to your part-time or summer employment, and indicate responsibility and achievements.

If you possess a strong background in the work world, you should begin with your work experience first. Information provided here will include job title, name of employer, address, date of employment, and a brief summary of duties. Emphasise responsibilities and highlight personal achievements, advancement and recognition. Your list of positions should be in reverse chronological order, so begin with your current employer.

Next, your résumé could include a brief section designed to give employers an insight into your leisure and non-work activities. You might include:

• Clubs or professional associations

• Community volunteer work

• Sports and hobbies

Finally, you could list references. It has become acceptable practice to write «References: Available upon request», since addresses titles, phone numbers are subject to change. Choose references carefully and always get permission to use their names as references.

Here is the example of a résumé:

RÉSUMÉ FORMATS / ВИДЫ РЕЗЮМЕ

Chronological Format demonstrates continuous and upward career growth. It does this by emphasizing employment history beginning with the most recent and working back. The focus is on time, job continuity, growth and advancement, and accomplishments.

Targeted Format is used when you are seeking a specific position. The focus is on your skills, abilities, and qualifications that match the needs of your target.

Functional Format also emphasizes your skills, but does not correlate these characteristics to any specific employer. The focus is on what you did, not when and where you did it.

Combination Format offers a quick synopsis of your market value (the functional style) followed by your employment chronology. This format is very well received by hiring authorities.

Dear Mr. Jones:

Since Computer Systems is a fast growing company you are likely in need of young and energetic people with a good knowledge of computers. In one month I will be graduating from University of Alberta with a Computer Science degree and would like to join your company as a programmer.

In addition to my university courses I have had work experience in programming and operating computers. Last summer I implemented programs for the design of loudspeakers at Nortek Industries.

At you convenience, I would like to meet you to discuss how my qualifications could benefit Computer Systems. Next week I will call you to try to arrange an interview (to set up an appointment).

Yours sincerely,

Dear Ms. Breuer,

I recently read in «Art Forum» that the museum is planning a large Van Gogh exhibit next winter, with the cooperation of Amsterdam’s two major museums.

I have recently graduated from Washington Square College at New York University. While attending I was fortunate enough to spend one semester abroad I be came very involved with Amsterdam mainly in the art I spent many afternoons at art museums there and I now possess an extensive knowledge of their collections.

I feel that my knowledge of Van Gogh’s work, the city of Amsterdam and my general background in arts could be of value to you in promoting this exhibit to young people. I would like to meet with you to discuss some ideas on the subject and I will call you in a week to ten days to set up a meeting.

Yours truly,

Ken Tyson

INTERVIEW / СОБЕСЕДОВАНИЕ

An interview can be described as a planned discussion with a specific purpose. How does a selection interview differ from a conversation, a chat about a job?

A business manager needs to gather information that provides evidence about applicant’s ability to do the job, and to fit in with the work team.

But interviewing is a mutual exchange of information. It is an opportunity to give an applicant as much information about the job as possible so that they can decide whether or not they want to take it if it is offered.

A company wants people who accept job to be motivated to work for the business. Treating them with respect is important too.

The interviewer’s questions set out to get the candidates talking about their experiences and their lives in general. The answers can reveal whether they can do the job, plus their motivation and adjustment and give some indication of how they cope in a variety of situations – including those they are likely to be under pressure and stress.

The questions that are most effective in this regard are «open ended» questions. What..., why..., when..., how..., where..., and who... words help to keep questions open. Phrases such as «How did you do the stock-taking?», «Tell me about...» or «Can you explain...» should give a great deal of useful information.

The interviewees are to reveal their ability, experience, motivation and adjustment, they, not the interviewer, must do most of the talking. The best ratio is 60:40.

COMMON INTERVIEW QUESTIONS

Here are some common questions you are likely to be asked in an employment interview. Look through the sample answers to some of them and write your own version of a good answer to each of the questions:
