閱讀職位描述

You know that “black hole” everyone is always talking about in your job search? This phenomenon often occurs because employers use applicant tracking system (ATS) software to manage the large volume of resumes and job applications they receive for their job vacancys. Most of these have special pre-screening technology to help hiring managers and recruiters find the best fit through keywords and phrases—and might even rank candidates based on how they measure up within the system. How can you “beat” an employer’s ATS in order to get noticed? Here are a few ways:
你知道大家找工作時(shí)常談?wù)摰摹昂诙础眴?？開(kāi)放空缺職位后，用人單位會(huì)收到大量簡(jiǎn)歷和求職申請(qǐng)，他們使用求職者跟蹤系統(tǒng)(ATS)軟件進(jìn)行管理篩選，這就是“黑洞”現(xiàn)象出現(xiàn)的原因。大多數(shù)這類(lèi)軟件使用專(zhuān)門(mén)的預(yù)篩選技術(shù)，幫助招聘經(jīng)理和招聘人員通過(guò)關(guān)鍵字和關(guān)鍵詞找到最佳人選，甚至可能在系統(tǒng)內(nèi)設(shè)衡量標(biāo)準(zhǔn)的基礎(chǔ)上將候選人分類(lèi)。怎樣才能“攻克”ATS而得到雇主的青睞呢？下面幾種方式讓你脫穎而出：

Look at the job description.
閱讀職位描述。

Compare your resume with the job description. Use keywords and phrases from within the job description in order to appear as a more relevant candidate. You don’t want to overload your resume with keywords, but using language similar to the description can certainly make you stand out.
將你的簡(jiǎn)歷和職位描述進(jìn)行比較，從職位描述中挑選關(guān)鍵字和關(guān)鍵詞，使你作為更合乎要求的候選人出現(xiàn)。盡管你不想用關(guān)鍵字來(lái)堆砌簡(jiǎn)歷，但是使用與職位描述相似的語(yǔ)言確實(shí)能使你上位。

簡(jiǎn)歷要突出重點(diǎn)

Focus your resume.
簡(jiǎn)歷要突出重點(diǎn)。

Don’t include anything that isn’t directly related to the job at hand. You don’t need to include an objective statement or information on your job from 10 years ago.
在簡(jiǎn)歷里不要寫(xiě)與申請(qǐng)職位沒(méi)有直接關(guān)系的內(nèi)容，也沒(méi)有必要描述你近十年的工作狀況。

依照招聘廣告上列出的要求做

Follow all directions listed in the job ad.
依照招聘廣告上列出的要求做。

Some ATS software takes certain document formats, so even though your PDF version looks awesome, it may come out looking differently on the other end. If it asks for a specific Word format, save your resume in that format before you submit it.
一些ATS軟件只識(shí)別某些特定的文件格式，所以，盡管你的PDF版本簡(jiǎn)歷看起來(lái)棒極了，可能在ATS的眼里卻是另一番模樣。如果它要求一種特定的Word格式，在發(fā)送之前把簡(jiǎn)歷保存為這種格式。

檢查拼寫(xiě)錯(cuò)誤

Check your spelling.
檢查拼寫(xiě)錯(cuò)誤。

Keywords don’t matter if they’re misspelled! You must check your spelling and grammar thoroughly before submitting your resume. Send it to a friend for a once-over, put it in Word and run a spell check, or print it and read it aloud to catch any errors.
關(guān)鍵字拼錯(cuò)了怎么能發(fā)揮作用呢？！在發(fā)送前徹底檢查一遍有沒(méi)有拼寫(xiě)和語(yǔ)法錯(cuò)誤。把它發(fā)給朋友過(guò)過(guò)目，用Word里自帶的拼寫(xiě)檢查功能查一遍，或者打出來(lái)大聲朗讀，把錯(cuò)誤徹底清除。

把表格填滿

Fill out everything.
把表格填滿。

Don’t leave blanks in the application, even if they’re not required. Some ATS only accept candidates who complete the entire application, so you’re improving your chances at getting noticed if you do.
即使沒(méi)有填寫(xiě)要求，也不要在申請(qǐng)表上留下空白處。一些ATS只接受完整填寫(xiě)申請(qǐng)表的申請(qǐng)人，所以這樣可以增加你受關(guān)注的機(jī)會(huì)。

簡(jiǎn)化簡(jiǎn)歷

Uncomplicate your resume.
簡(jiǎn)化簡(jiǎn)歷。

Don’t include pictures, graphics, or other fancy formatting that’s unnecessary. While it might make your resume look pretty, the ATS might not like it—and you’ll lower your chances at landing an interview in the process.
簡(jiǎn)歷中不要包含圖片、圖表或其它沒(méi)有必要的花俏格式。這些東西可能使你的簡(jiǎn)歷看起來(lái)很漂亮，但ATS可能不喜歡這一套，這樣會(huì)減少你獲得面試的機(jī)會(huì)。

解釋縮寫(xiě)詞

Include abbreviations.
解釋縮寫(xiě)詞。

However, it’s also important you include the non-abbreviated terms. Although you might know what the abbreviation stands for, the person reading your resume might not know—just like I did when opening this article explaining about applicant tracking systems (ATS).
解釋縮寫(xiě)的術(shù)語(yǔ)同樣很重要。雖然你可能知道這個(gè)縮寫(xiě)詞代表什么，但讀簡(jiǎn)歷的人不一定知道，就像我在文章的開(kāi)頭解釋縮寫(xiě)詞ATS代表求職者追蹤系統(tǒng)一樣，對(duì)縮寫(xiě)術(shù)語(yǔ)進(jìn)行解釋。
