很多人或许会认为，虽然很多大公司要求递交中英文简历，但是HR大都是中国人，所以只要把中文简历缔造好，英文简历只是走个过场，随便弄一下就可以了。但是外企HR告诉我们其实一名求职者最初发送的中英文简历会跟着他求职的整个过程，或许第一轮把关的是中国人。但是，一旦到后面几轮面试，面试官很可能是以英语为母语的人士，他们跟之前的面试官可能并没有交流，而是完全根据你的简历和你的表现来作判断。这个时候，如果你的英文简历如果出现任何差错的话，那么就会使你的印象大打折扣，这样的后果往往可能变得非常严重。
从英语简历中，企业还可以看出求职者的英语水平。如果简历中有拼写错误，那么用人单位既会质疑求职者的做事的认真程度也会质疑他的英语水平。除了拼写错误，文法错误也是学生经常会犯的毛病，有的错误非常明显，让求职者糟糕的英文水平暴露无疑。
英语简历也能体现求职者对于外来文化的了解和接受程度。很多词语或说法是中国特有的，HR视角：外国人是绝对无法理解的。

对ZMZ英文履历的点评
博管理咨询(香港)有限公司总经理张庆
从我们猎头公司的角度看这篇英文简历，感觉还是不错的。可以用这样几个字来概括：条理比较清晰，结构比较完整，用词也比较规范。如果说还有哪些地方需要提高的话，可能在“卖点”上需要花一点功夫。从比较专业的眼光去品判一篇英文简历，我想简单概括以下几点，也可为想写好英文简历的经理人作参考：
1、 英文简历的格式其实很简单，可以根据自己的经验和专业能力搞得新颖一点。但基本上不外乎以下几个要素，如：
Name:
Address:
Tel:
E-mail:
Objective:
Summary:
Professional Experience:
Education:
Qualifications &Professional Designations:
Hobbies(If need):
在Professional Experience 之前的要素，描述不用太长篇，高度概括即可。面试人，特别是老外，可从中看出你的英文概括能力(长句的使用)。
2、英文简历中，专业经验、经历(Professional Experience)部分是重头戏。因为这个部分是面试人最感兴趣和关心的，以后即使在面试时，也差不多围绕这个在说话。写简历的人需要花大“手笔”去描述这个部分。 怎样才能描述好，要抓住以下几个关键：
工作职责Responsibility
工作业绩Achievement: 如完成了多少指标，如何完成的?管理多少人，利润提高了多少?等等。
在A，B 中，要不厌其烦地用比较数字说明问题，因为猎头或面试人可能对你的专业不很了解，但每一个人都对跳跃的数字感兴趣，并且记得住，如：团队由最初的3人发展到现在的15人，经销商由99年的3家扩展到20xx年的23家等等。
不要光写成功经验，也要提及曾经走过的弯路和失败。最好是写一个例子，说明原先某个事件看上去已经失败，但通过你的努力，提高很快，很显著，你也从中学到很多。告诉面试人或写在简历上你是通过哪些办法去改变的。老外往往对这一些很感兴趣，因为走过弯路再成功的人更吸引人，也对他的公司更具有实际操作意义。
这个部分用词也有讲究，能令人兴奋和印象深刻的词很多，如：rebuild up, developed, exceed, participated, enhanced, coordinated, conducted, assisted processed, implemented, management,prepared, consolidated, contributed more than % for, over, revenue, growth, excellent performance,top,strategy, awarded, significant increase, milestones, etc.
3、 Education
Qualification & Professional designation 这两部分，可按照标准的一些格式如实附上，如：
Education
California State University, Fullerton
Master of Business Administration degree with a finance specialty. May 20xx
Bachelor of Arts degree with concentration in Accounting, May 1993
Professional Designation
Certified Management Accounting, October 1999. Member of IMA since 1994.
Certified in Financial Management, April 20xx.
CPA candidate, passed the entire CPA Exam in May 1994. Member of CACPAs since 1995.
最后一个部分可以简单写一些你的个人爱好(Hobbies)和个人情况(Personal Information).面试时，面试人(包括很多老外)，通过对你这部分看似平常的，非工作性的情况的了解，(特别是请高级管理层)，更能评估你这个人目前的状态和你对社会、家庭的一些看法，以及看出你解决一些实际问题的思路和能力。
