Task 3 Preparing a CV准备简历
Learning Situation
Xiaoqiang intends to apply an internship in Future Nursing Home when he learnt about their recruitment information. The facility requires applicants with English language skills. Now he must prepare a CV in English.
小强看到未来护理之家关于照护员的招聘信息后，打算申请去该公司实习。该机构需要具有英语能力的照护员，现在他需要准备一份英文简历。
Introduction
Resumes in English have no fixed form.What applicants should write clearly is their name, address and the way to contact them, which are as basic as telephone number or email. Resumes in English should also include the objectives, which is the most important item. Many companies basically favor those candidates whose objectives are compliant with their needs.
英文简历并无固定不变的格式，应聘者要写清楚自己的姓名、地址、联系方式——比如电话或者电子邮箱等基本信息。英文简历要写求职意向，这是最重要的内容，很多公司主要看应聘者的求职意向是否跟他们的需求一致。

Preparing Your CV for an Internship Application
为实习申请准备简历
Your CV is your chance to grab the potential employer's attention and demonstrate what they will gain from employing you as an intern.A CV is effectively a“sales document”. Imagine you are marketing yourself like a product, be sure to highlight your strengths and provide the evidence to prove it to show how the organization will benefit from your skills and experience.Usually the most effective CV format for an undergraduate student is the chronological CV, which clearly details your experience in reverse chronological order, most recent first.
你的简历为你提供吸引潜在雇主的注意力、在实习期间向他们展示自己的能力并最终获得聘用的机会。简历是一种有效的“销售文档”。想象你在营销自己，一定要突出自己的优势，并提供证据来证明你将会让该机构受益于你的技能和经验。通常最有效的大学生简历格式为倒序式，清楚地详细介绍你的经验，将与应聘岗位有关的、时间最近的内容放在前面。
What to include：
1.Personal details—imagine your name to be the headline or title with your contact details as the sub-heading, ideally in bold. Include full name, contact address, telephone number and email address, date of birth and nationality.
2.Profile—summarize your selling points；mention what you are studying, your key strengths and skills, relevant experience, internship field of interest and career ambitions. This should be a short, concise paragraph.
3.Education—detail your academic experience since the age of 16, most recent first. Include dates, name and location of institution, level of qualification, subjects studied and grades achieved. For your certificate, mention two or three classes relevant to your chosen internship field.
4.Work experience（paid and/or voluntary）—include dates, job title, name of employing organization, main duties/responsibilities, skills demonstrating your style or approach（how you carried out your tasks?）and result or achievement. Where possible, quantify your results. Example：Helped to decrease customer complaints by 25%.
5.Key skills and achievements—include knowledge and experience of Information Technology（IT/computing）, foreign language ability, any awards or outstanding achievements etc. Mention anything you feel is essential to your application that is not mentioned elsewhere in your CV.
6.Interests—this section offers the employer the chance to find out more about your personality, you as an individual. Try to be a bit different, avoiding just saying“Socializing, reading and going out with friends”.
简历主要包括：
1.个人信息：将你的名字作为标题，联系方式作为子标题，最好以粗体显示。包括全名、联系地址、电话号码和电子邮件地址、出生日期和国籍。
2.自我简介：总结你的长处，谈及你的主攻科目，你的主要优势和技能、相关经验、感兴趣的实习领域和职业抱负。这应该是一个较精练的段落。
3.教育背景：详细陈述你从16岁起的学习经历，倒序式。包括日期，学校名称、地点和资质等级，所学主要科目和成绩。两到三个与你选择的实习领域相关的资格证书。
4.工作经验（有酬和/或志愿）：包括日期、职位、用人单位、主要职责/责任、能够展示你的工作方法（你如何完成你的任务）与风格的各种技能以及工作成绩，尽可能地把成就量化。例如：曾在自己的努力下使客户投诉减少了25%。
5.主要技能和成绩：包括知识和信息技术经验、外语能力、奖项或杰出成就等，任何你觉得与应聘岗位密切相关而且至关重要的，并且在你的简历其他部分未提到的。
6.兴趣：这部分让用人单位有机会对你的个性和能力有更多的了解。注意要有点儿新意，避免只是说“社交、阅读和交朋友”等。
