Good article first of all. Just 2 points: 1. It does not hurt to exaggerate your experience a little, for example, ...

本文发表在 rolia.net 枫下论坛say 3 year when it is actually 3 month as long as you have done it and know what it is about. However, making up entire non-existing experience, especially it is related to the job's core requirement is difficult. Think about the humiliating situation while you are caught faking your resume :)

2. Cover letter. Cover letter is supposed to impress the hiring manager with your writing before they digging deeper into your CV. For many our Chinese, if writing is your strength, by no means, go for it. On the other hand, cover letter will only bring you the damage. First of all, needless to say it slows down your resume submitting process significantly, you have to tailor each cover letter according to each different job. Secondly, you are exposing your key weakness, English writing, right away. Think it this way, if you experience is not qualified, you won't be given a job because of an impressive cover letter anyway. On the other hand, if you are qualified, a poorly written cover letter will only make hiring manger think twice about your communication skills, which otherwise, won't be a problem if you don't write them one in the first place.

Basically, cover letter is the biggest pitfall for our chinese job seekers, unless u are looking for executive type of the job, which it normally requires one. Otherwise, I will suggest you do urself a favor: just don't bother.更多精彩文章及讨论,请光临枫下论坛 rolia.net
