Show HN:Resume Worded——写出有说服力的简历
Show HN: Resume Worded – Write impactful resumes
导读
这篇 Show HN 介绍一个简历写作工具,评论围绕简历和求职信写作展开:先让求职信证明你读过职位并匹配需求,再用具体动作和硬数字写成果,并警惕空洞形容词。对写作者来说,它提醒我们:写作要面向读者需求、用证据说话、每个词都给出具体收益。
可以直接用的写作要点
- 01
先读清招聘广告,再写求职信或邮件:明确回应对方列出的要求,并说明自己为何匹配这家公司和这个岗位。
- 02
把写作重心从“我有什么技能”转到“对方需要什么、我如何满足”,让读者一眼看到适配点。
- 03
写成果时用“动作动词+具体做法+可量化结果”,例如“实施预约系统,使人力成本降低30%”,而不是只写用了什么工具。
- 04
慎用“impactful”这类空泛形容词;标题和要点都应给出具体、可感知的收益,必要时准备好数字的计算依据。
HN 评论精选
求职信或邮件常是简历被读的前提;要针对岗位需求、证明读过招聘广告并回应所有要求。
最近我为公司三个完全不同的岗位审阅了数百份申请。我的总体建议是:候选人应把重点放在求职信或邮件上;如果求职信或邮件不够好,大多数申请人的简历根本不会被看到。让我震惊的是,很多邮件和求职信完全通用、有拼写错误、强调不相关技能、不回答招聘广告里的基本问题。我的建议按顺序是:仔细阅读招聘广告;写一封能证明你读过它、针对这家公司和岗位、并回答所有要求的邮件或求职信;重点不是你的技能,而是公司需要的技能以及你如何适配;再读一遍招聘广告;如有可能也调整简历以突出这些适配点,或至少在求职信或邮件里突出,让审阅者有兴趣读你的简历。

Having reviewed hundreds of job applications recently (for three completely different roles at my company), I would generally say candidates should focus on the cover letter / email. Most applicants won't even get their resumes read at all if their cover letter or emails aren't good. I was quite shocked how many emails and cover letters from candidates were 100% generic, had spelling mistakes, highlighted irrelevant skills, didn't respond to basic questions on the job ad etc. My top tips would be (in this order): * READ the job ad carefully. * Write an email / cover letter that 1) shows that you've read it. 2) is specific to both the company and the role you're applying for. and 3) answers all requirements on the job ad. * Try to focus on what makes you a good candidate for the role and company. The focus should not be on your skills however, it should be on the required skills that the company needs, and how you could fit. * Read the job ad again :) * If possible, adapt the resume as well to highlight those areas of good-fit. Or at least highlight them on the cover letter/email, so the person reviewing your application would even be interested to read your resume...
慎用空洞形容词;标题和简历要点都应给出具体收益,而非抽象自夸。
看起来很漂亮。但对一个声称要给我简历上最佳用词的服务来说,标语“write impactful resumes”其实有害。“Impactful”很笨重,你想用的是“effective”。但这两个词都没有给出具体收益,而具体收益才是网站标题和简历要点真正需要的。

Looks pretty. However for a service that claims to provide me the best words to put on my resume, the tagline "write impactful resumes" is rather harmful. "Impactful" is clunky. "Effective" is what you want. But neither word offers a specific pay-off, which is what you actually want in both a head-line on a site and a bullet-point on a resume.
简历成果句用动作动词+具体做法+可量化结果,并准备好解释数字来源。
只看第一个例子,作为前招聘官,它正中要害地示范了简历要点的最佳写法。你不是写“用了 simplybookly.me”,而是写“(动作动词)实施了一个(事物描述)预约系统,从而(硬数字结果)将人力成本降低30%”。要准备好解释这个数字怎么算出来;当不可避免被问到时,你能说出真实方法(千万别撒谎),效果会更好——“天哪,这个人居然真有办法衡量人力成本并想用数字去降低它!”

>Led the transition to a paperless practice by implementing an electronic booking system and a faster, safer and more accurate business system. Reduced costs of labor by 30% and office overhead by 10%. Just looking at the first example, this nails the head for me as an ex-recruiter about the best way to write a resume tagline. You didn't "use simplybookly.me," you "(action verb)implemented a (description of thing) booking system that (result in hard numbers) reduced costs of labor by 30%. Be ready to answer on how you calculated that number, but when you are inevitably asked and come out with an actual method (please god don't lie) it'll be all the more impressive. "Holy shit, this person actually had a good way to measure cost of labor and sought to reduce it numerically!"
