BlueWizard Posted May 8, 2008 at 05:54 AM Report Share Posted May 8, 2008 at 05:54 AM Hey everybody, I'm an American student thinking of studying and working in China this summer. Can anyone tell me how to say resume (I get 履历表 and 简历 from an online dictionary) and point me to a sample resume that I could work off of? Thanks for reading.

frankyfrank Posted May 9, 2008 at 12:22 PM Report Share Posted May 9, 2008 at 12:22 PM It's just 简历。 I don't think there is a standard "Chinese" format. Using a regular American format is fine.

Lu Posted May 9, 2008 at 04:26 PM Report Share Posted May 9, 2008 at 04:26 PM The regular European/Chinese format seems to work. A Chinese friend translated my resume for me, used pretty much the same format as in the original, and it served me just fine (I got interviews and a job). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkyFitsHeaven Posted December 25, 2009 at 01:09 AM Report Share Posted December 25, 2009 at 01:09 AM Actually my friend works for HR at a multinational in Shanghai. There is increasingly a format for Chinese companies. She strongly recommends that all foreigners - regardless of their Chinese level - submit resumes in both English AND Chinese. A lot of HR people at Chinese companies aren't going to take the time to read the English one and/or comprehend your actual experience.

roddy Posted December 25, 2009 at 01:18 AM Report Share Posted December 25, 2009 at 01:18 AM That's quite efficient, registering the domain yourself a couple of days ago, setting up the site, and then using it to write yourself a resume. And all at this busy holiday period. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenny同志 Posted December 25, 2009 at 07:05 AM Report Share Posted December 25, 2009 at 07:05 AM There's no set format for a Chinese resume. Make sure you include in it your name, gender, age, contact info, education background, work experience. Remember to be concise. And append a self-evaluation if you think it is necessary.

trien27 Posted December 28, 2009 at 01:06 AM Report Share Posted December 28, 2009 at 01:06 AM resume (I get 履历表 and 简历 from an online dictionary) 履历表 = CV or Curriculum Vitae. and 简历 = Résumé Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resume http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curriculum_vitae Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
