履历表写作要有针对性
使用恰当准确的动词是书写合格履历表的关键。设想求职者在履历中表明 "I involved myself in several Human Resources projects,”，阅读履历的人会对”involve”一词感到困惑。因为求职者并没有说清楚他/她的具体做了什么，求职者可能是人事管理项目策划的带头人，也可能只是文件复印员这类的小角色。在这两种差距悬殊的角色之间，这位求职者也许做了如下人事方面的工作：
drafted proposals (起草建议书)
synthesized reports (综合总结报告书)
spoke at meetings (会议发言)
led a team of five (领导一个五人小组)
edited company brochures (编辑公司手册)
facilitated meetings (主持/协调会议)
consolidated company files (汇总公司档案文件)
participated in HR training programs either as an attendee or as a trainer (以受训人或训导身份参与人事培训项目) http://www.bb2s.com/
distributed employee paychecks (发工资)
recorded meeting minutes (会议记录)
selected external vendors (挑选外部供应商)
benchmarked payroll policies of other companies (研究和参照其它公司的工资政策)
hired four people (聘用4人)
fired three others (解雇3人)
coordinated and scheduled transportation for 200 workers (协调和排定200名工人的交通问题)
reviewed employee performance with a superior (与上司一起审阅职工工作表现) 等等。
相比之下, “involve”一词显得多么空洞和含糊！
履历表最好控制在一页之内，至多不要超过2页。
