寻找新工作的过程总是从更新简历开始。对于在同一家公司干了一段时间的大多数人，开拓新的职业生涯时，想到的第一件事并不是更新简历。如果你并不随时更新简历，你会发现之后再修改是一件多么艰难的事。然而，这也可能成为一件幸事。因为当你的职业生涯走到改行的十字路口时，更新简历让你有机会总结你之前的工作，并在规划你的简历时突出新重点。以下是5个技巧将帮助制作一份适合新工作的简历。

How-Do-You-Make-A-Resume(from yourresumetemplates)

1、明确的目标。我知道这是老生常谈了，但不幸的是，我看到太多人在“目标声明”上犯错。在一页纸上，你只能放那么多字，所以你很谨慎地考虑你应该写什么。如果目标声明没有价值，或不能表达要点，那就不要写了。这条原则适用于你想在简历中写的任何内容。

我见过很多简历甚至没有举出明确的求职岗位。如果你打算写求职岗位，请保证它与简历的其他内容一致，清楚地表明你想要什么样的工作。我看过很多简历是这样的：求职者说想要“美术职位”，而在简历中写的经历都是“设计”，但申请的岗位却是“游戏制作人”。混乱了吧？我也觉得。如果你打算改行，请明确地指出来，并证明你之前的工作经验有助于你达到的新职业目标。

2、突出相关工作经验。一旦你定位好新工作，你就可以回头看看你在简历中写的第一个工作，强调在工作中学到的技能与你的新目标相关。例如，如果你曾在一家小公司任产品经理并有许多头衔，现在你打算找一份分析工作，不要怕写出任何经验——无论是多小的经验，只要是与分析工作有关的。如果你曾经写过关于产品性能的数据报告，曾经天天与数字打交道，了解ARPU的含意，那就写下来。

3、证明你的成长。无论你申请的是什么工作，任何用人单位都希望你的简历能体现你的成长。你应该挑选你负责的至少一种工作或在你参与的至少一个项目中的职位，来证明你有所进步。无论你申请的是什么级别的职位，表明你在团队中的成长的能力都是很重要的。

4、突出成就。你的简历是你给雇用者的第一印象，所以要保证它能体现你真正的潜力。最好的方式就是概述你的成就，不要只是罗列任务和职责。虽然表明你承担某些任务也是好的，但这并不能告诉招聘经理你的执行效果如何。你应该保证为每一个你从事过的职位列举至少两项成就，可以是你参与的著名的、规模大的或影响力大的项目，也可以是你学习到的有创意的做法。我个人认为，描述成就是一个非常有效的做法。主要有四步：表述你面临的处境或问题，描述关键任务，叙述你克服困难的过程，最后概述最终结果。假如你是这么描述你的任务的：“负责执行新的营销活动”，那还不如这么写：“曾负责开发和执行增加游戏玩家人数的营销活动。在两个月的营销活动内，新玩家以每月40%的速度增长。”毕竟，招聘经理关注的是你创造理想结果的能力，所以你必须强调因你的工作而产生的商业价值。

5、叙述经历。更新完你的简历之后，请务必叙述一段你从哪里开始，一路上收获了什么，以及下一个目标是什么的经历。记住，雇用经理只会看你写在简历上的东西，所以你必须写得合情合理，不需要你当场详细说明。（本文为游戏邦/gamerboom.com编译，拒绝任何不保留版权的转载，如需转载请联系：游戏邦）

Get Your Dream Job: 5 Tips for a Successful Resume

by Olga Novikova

Every process of looking for a new job begins with updating your resume. For most of us that have been with the same company for a while, updating our resume as we take on new responsibilities and move up the career ladder isn’t the first thing on our mind. If you’ve let that document fall by the way side, sitting down to update it can be a daunting task. However, it could also be a blessing. If you find yourself at a crossroads looking to make a jump into a different industry, this could give you a chance to start with the clean slate and formulate your resume with a new focus in mind. Here are five tips that will help you highlight applicable experience for the job you want.

1.  State a clear objective. I know this may sound cliché, but unfortunately I’ve seen ‘objective statements’ gone wrong way too many times. You only get to put so many words on one page, so use them wisely. If the statement does not add any value, or communicate a point, don’t write it. The same rule applies to anything else you put on your resume.

There have also been an influx of less conventional resumes that don’t even list an objective. With that said, if you are going to write one, make sure it’s congruent with the rest of your resume and clearly states what job you are looking to pursue. Too many times I’ve seen a resume which looks something like this: Pursuing an ‘art position’, while all experience on the resume is in ‘design’, but the role the applicant is applying for is a ‘game producer’. Confused? So am I. If you’re looking to change career tracks, be sure to acknowledge this fact and shore up the reason why your experience is relevant to your new career goal. Which leads to the next point:

2.  Shine the light on relevant experience. Once you have your mind set on your next ideal job, go back to the first position on your resume and focus on the things you learned and skills you obtained that would be relevant to the job you want. For example, if you were a Product Manager at a small company and wore many hats and are now looking to pursue a job in analytics, don’t shy away from listing any experience – no matter how small – that allowed you to gain exposure to the analytics field. If you’ve pulled data reports on your product’s performance, dealt with numbers on a day-to-day basis and understand what ARPU stands for, write about it.

3.  Show evidence of growth. At the end of the day it doesn’t matter what job you are applying for, every hiring manager wants to see a growth pattern on your resume. Try to pick at least one responsibility, or a project you have worked on from each of the new positions you held that shows scope and impact which was considered a step up from the previous role. No matter what level of the position you are seeking, it is important to show your ability to grow within the organization.

4.  Focus on achievements. Your resume is your one shot to put your best foot forward, so make sure that it communicates your true potential. The best way to get that across is to focus on outlining your accomplishments and not just a list of tasks and responsibilities. While it is good to know that you have been entrusted with certain tasks, it doesn’t tell the hiring manager how well you have executed on them. Make sure to list at least two significant accomplishments for each of the positions you held. It could be projects that had high visibility, large scope and impact, or required an innovative approach. I personally find the STAR method very effective in describing accomplishments. It involves four steps: defining the Situation or a problem that you were faced with, identifying the key Task, describing the Action you took to accomplish it, and summarizing the end Result. For example if you just list the following task: ‘Responsible for rolling out a new Marketing Campaign’, it won’t be nearly as effective as saying: ‘Developed and rolled out a new marketing campaign to address a decreasing number of new monthly users in the game. Within two months of roll out the number of new monthly users had increased by 40%’. At the end of the day the hiring manager is focused on your ability to achieve the desired end result, so make sure you focus on the business impact of your work.

5.  Tell a story. After you have finished updating your resume, make sure that it tells a story of where you started, what you have accomplished along the way, and where you want to go next. Remember that the hiring manager can only see what’s written on the resume and needs to be able to make sense of it without having you there to walk them through it.(source:gamasutra)
