拥有某些吃香的技能的人更容易找到工作。事实上,他们会在相当短的时间内就被求贤若渴的招聘者一抢而空。ResumeWriting.com的创始人Brian McCullough这么说道。以下是McCullough给我们分享的一些你需要在简历上体现的重要的就业技能:

1.数学、统计和数据分析
"Your average company is always trying to figure out how to manage their data stream, " McCullough tells us. "It seems to be a major trend across all sorts of industries that big business is looking for smart people to help them manage, organize, and tap into that data."

2. Supply chain management and logistics

McCullough says that these skills are often searched for, because "companies are always looking for ways to cut costs and be more efficient, " so if you can "load your resume or [LinkedIn] profile with industry and scenario-specific logistics keywords, you can expect the headhunters and hiring mangers to come to you."
McCullough说招聘者经常搜索这些技能,因为“公司总是在寻求节约成本和高效化的方式”,所以假如你能“在你的简历上体现出在具体情况中是处理物流能力的关键词,就会有更多的猎头公司和招聘经理找到你。”
3. Social media

If you claim to be an expert in social media, you better be have an active presence online and have a good number of followers.
假如你声称自己是个社交媒体专家,你最好拥有一个活跃的在线主页,并拥有大量的关注者。
"It's more important how active you are, " he says. "You can't just be posting tweets, but also be replying to others and joining in on conversations."
“你有多活跃相当重要。”他说。“你不能只是发微博,必须同时回复别人并加入讨论。”

"Customer relationship management platforms have exploded over the last 15 years and are key to operations for almost all industries in the private and even public sector".
“客户关系管理平台在过去的15年间得到了巨大的发展,现在已经成为大部分私人企业甚至公共部门运行的关键所在。”
Keywords showing proficiency with the major platforms — Salesforce and SAP — will be the first things hiring managers search for when looking to fill open sales and marketing positions.
能够体现你在使用主流平台Salesforce和SAP方面的熟练度的关键词将成为想要寻找销售和营销职位人才的招聘经理最先搜索的东西。
5. Crisis management
5.危机管理

和这项技能有关的关键词有风险管理、应急管理、公共安全、公共关系、运营管理以及品牌管理。
6. P&L Responsibility
6.损益责任
General management candidates can stand out if they have "Profit and Loss" or "P&L Responsibility" on their resumes, because these workers are able to "demonstrate direct responsibility for revenue development and cost control" .
假如一个综合管理应聘者的简历上拥有损益管理相关的内容,他会更有机会脱颖而出。因为他能够分析出影响利润发展和成本控制的直接责任所在。
7. Foreign language
7.外语
McCullough says that knowing a foreign language is the "most successful keyword on a resume" .
McCullough说外语能力将是“一份成功简历的最关键所在”。
"You might be a run-of-the-mill salesperson, but if you have mastery of another language on your resume or LinkedIn profile, you're going to come up in keyword searches more often than you would think."
“你或许是一个普通的销售员,但是假如你能在简历里表示你掌握了另一门外语,你在关键词搜索中被搜到的频率会得到令你难以置信的提升。”
Whatever skills you have, jobseekers need to think about what hiring managers will search for when creating their resume. For example, recruiters aren't going to search for vague terms like "self starter" or "detail-oriented." Instead, they'll search for the skills that they need in a candidate, so you need to think about your experiences, degree, major, specialties and certifications all as keywords.
不论你拥有哪些技能,求职者在创建简历时必须思考招聘经理会搜索哪些东西。比如,招聘者不会搜索诸如“自理能力强”或者“追求细节”之类含糊不清的表述。相反,他们会搜索他们在求职者身上希望获得的技能。所以你必须好好思考下你的工作经验、学历、专业、特长和证书,所有这些都能够成为你的关键词。
