美国东部就业好转,加州新机会不多,竞争激烈。看看一个有美国博士学位的朋友转来的email. 三个职位500多人争。

Hi-

You recently sent me a resume for one of the three positions I have been recruiting for. I have received a huge response (over 500 resumes for 3 positions) and am down to recruiting for one final position - a UI engineer. If you are still interested in the UI position, let me know. They have pretty high standards for this position (UI engineer with a CS background in Java, but also with Javascript/AJAX,CSS, DHTML, etc) but in the event that I overlooked your resume, send me a note and I can review your resume. My apologies for not getting back to you individually, but with hundreds of resumes coming in over several weeks, doing so would be impossible.


PS: I see a lot of resumes as a recruiter and would like to share these thoughts with you. Of the aforementioned 500 resumes, many of them were fantastic but not right for these particular jobs. I received many, many more resumes which had horrible presentation, grave errors in style, and a variety of other mistakes. Companies that are hiring are being extraordinarily picky right now, and a bad resume can really hurt your job search prospects. A good resume will never guarantee that you get hired, but a bad resume will insure that you never even get an opportunity to interview.

  • 工作学习 / 事业与工作 / 感谢信一定要写!如果您不是什么大拿,不是骑驴找马或内部推荐的就更要写!从我们公司最近招MOSS developer说起。。
    经济衰退以来,公司就一直在裁员,虽然比例不大, 但直到最近才有job opening: 5个中级的sharepoint contract developer 6Month-1year, 40-45$/h。没想到一下就从公司内部推荐和中介收到60多份简历, 选了一半多面试。 我面试了其中几个。 最后从内部推荐招了2个,剩下的manager留下一句话: 凡不写感谢信一律刷掉,理由有2:不写感谢信意味这你可能并不在乎这个工作,不如把机会留给别的cadidate;这是个客户onsite的工作,不写感谢信说明不懂基本礼貌,不大适合做consultant。
    我想说的是去年公司招类似的职位给70-80/h都招不到人,根本没人会在乎你那封信,但今年市场情况明显的不同,很多东西都滥市,没工作的朋友千万别省那点笔墨而浪费掉一个机会。
    • 这MANAGER牛的。所以大家经济好的时候也不要对他们客气。这跟种猪歧视一样,你不歧视别人是你高尚,但别人照样歧视你。
    • It is a manner and also a way to reimpress your new boss. You don't just say thank you in the letter or email but also bs how you can contribute yourself to the company.
    • 今年市场糟得不能再糟了,以前公司为了留住人,总要想办法利诱,MANAGER 见面比较客气,现在MANAGER 已经扬眉吐气,气焰嚣张,扬言谁走也不怕,每天递简历的络绎不绝啊。这美国发生危机的频率这几年太高了,估计今后大家都会趋向保守,以保住饭碗忍气吞声为第一准则,
      人性进一步受到压抑,心理变态的人会越来越多。
      • 再糟也没911时糟糕
        • 美国的失业率是26年来最高的,包括911。这次是内伤,911 还只是外伤。
          • "失业率是26年来最高的"经济的IT job market is still much better than Canada's regular years 海就是海,即使退潮, 小池子就是 小池子

          • 谢谢,受教了,能不能贴贴那几个resume tips?
            • 费点事把格式整理了一下,对找工作的人也许有帮助。
              本文发表在 rolia.net 枫下论坛加州的牛人比加拿大多,现在经济不好,很多人失业一年有余。也不知这个经济危机持续多久,好像没有尽头。2006年很多人在加拿大电话面试就拿到美国的offer, 这种日子似乎永远不再有。

              Here are some thoughts on resumes:

              1)As a recruiter I ask these questions:

              1) Where has someone worked
              2)What do they do?
              3) Where have they studied
              4) What skills do they have
              5) Where do they live? Your resume should answer these questions for me within a 5 second glance of the resume. Even consultants who have worked with numerous clients in the last 10 years (like myself)
              can answer these questions with a clean, simple resume.

              2) Always include your name, e-mail address, and telephone on a resume. Do not presume that your resume will remain attached to the e-mail. I probably received 15 resumes that were missing contact information. I prefer that resumes have the contact information written in the body of the text instead of the header/footer in Word. This makes it much easier to copy and paste when I am communicating with my engineer clients

              3) Do not send a link to your on-line resume if you expect me to read it. I am pretty good about going out and "fetching" resumes, but this is the easiest way for your resume application to be lost in the shuffle. Perfectly fine if you are passively looking, but if you are doing an active job search, send me a word/PDF/Text resume.

              4) Resumes should be at most 2, perhaps three pages in length. Most recruiters in my position do not bother to read past the first page, so whatever important information you have, put it up front and center. It is fine to have an expanded resume if a company asks for it, but keep in mind that neither your average recruiter nor your typical hiring managers will read past the 2nd page in Silicon Valley.

              5) If you have written your resume by adding one position on top of the other, I guarantee you have a resume that will repel, rather than attract employers. I have received numerous 10 page resumes listing
              consulting assignments going back to 1998. Imagine trying to read through hundreds of these in the course of trying to fill a position! I often can't tell where someone worked, went to school, or what they do after reading these types of resumes.

              6) The best candidates I see typically have the simplest resumes. The worst candidates invariably have the longest, most confusing resumes. A typical example - a guy who I hired at Salesforce had 10
              years of work experience at BEA & Oracle, a PhD in Computer Science from CalTech, and a one page resume.

              7) Experiment - copy and paste your resume into a web browser and mail it to yourself. Try it in text and other formats. This is how the engineering managers will most likely read it on their blackberry/iPhone, etc, so if you have weird formatting issues, I would recommend that you re-write your resume. Fancy fonts, headers/footers, & tables often lead to really bad resume presentation when
              you need it most.

              8) Keep in mind that most recruiters are buried in resumes right now, and that if you can talk to the recruiter on the phone, this is a REALLY good idea. Many resumes are not even being read by your average corporate recruiter, especially if you applied on-line.更多精彩文章及讨论,请光临枫下论坛 rolia.net

      • 任何时候公司都不会怕雇员走,只要多给钱,什么人都招得到。不多给钱,就光态度好也没用。
    • 确实如此啊!
    • 市场决定一切。感谢信可以写,不起决定作用,每个个案不同。多数时候被面试者不知道面试官email. 现在一个工作可能面试20人以上,面试官根本不拿找工作的人当回事。现在的经济比911那时差。
    • This kind of story makes me feel lucky that I have a job. Can't complain no matter what.
    • 当然写,又花不了很多时间和精力,毕竟没人会对写感谢信的人反感。
      • 那只有名字没有email的情况下呢?
        • do the research and get the email, or go to the company ask the reception or some one. 加拿大特讲究这种俗套子, 就象见面总是嚎啊呦的. 虽觉得烦人, 但也得如是做.
    • 我也支持写感谢信,但是我所得到的工作都不是因为我写感谢信。。。因为我从不写,我觉得很多时候面试官对你的眼缘很重要。这些都是上班后面试的人对我说的。
    • 我写了,还是没用.
    • 刚听说过几乎一样的例子,manager说法都惊人一致。
    • Thank you for your advice!
    • 其实无论市场好坏,感谢信一定要写。这起码表达了你对面试的reponse,是一种business manner。如果连这么基本的交流技巧都没有,或是不重视的人,大概也不会是个好的team player。
    • Thank you for your advices
