　　知名国际企业录用人才的程序严格，大多数人都是以一份中英文简历开始塑造他在公司的形象。而对于大型跨国企业，英文简历(resume)的制作尤为重要，它可能决定求职者能否进入面试，能否有真正展露自己才华的机会。不了解有关的常识和程式，不花费相当的心思来展示，单凭纯正娴熟的英文功底，不容易获得单位的青睐。在一大堆错误百出、英文表达能力低劣或平庸，毫无针对性和创造性的简历中，你的那份若能让人眼睛一亮，成功的机会必将大大增加。

　　简历的目的不是获得工作，而是获得面试的机会；然后你才能获得工作。简历不该列举所有的技能，而是要用成绩来“引诱”面试官。英语简历并无固定不变的单一形式，应聘者完全可以根据个人的具体情况来确定采用何种形式，灵活设计。

　　求职信是简历很重要的一部分。一份好的求职信可以让你的简历增色不少，加大你成功的砝码。跟我来，教你打造一份精彩的求职信！
