投履歷前，該怎麼寫出有重點的英文自傳？

自傳(Autobiography)是個人背景以及學、經歷、專長的附加說明，只要充分明白的補充或強調自己的優點與想法即可，不需長篇大論或使用艱深的語句，尤其是英文自傳，通常以四到五段為主，並且也是儘量濃縮在一張A4頁面當中。

英文自傳應把握2個重點：
1.個人基本狀況，簡單說明個人成長環境、家庭成員、個性等。
2.適度描述，不需要太多瑣碎的資訊。

內容需具體寫出三件事：
(一)個人專長與所學
說明自己在校所學所訓練的專業能力，並且提供自己特殊成就或優異表現的例子。
e.g.:
My name is Chan Siu Lin,From Taichung. I graduated from Soochow University and my major was in History. There are 4 people in my family. My father works in the trade company as a sales representative., and my mother is a house wife…. Because of coming to Taiwan to study, I developed an independent personality. In order to lighten my parents burden, I took several part-time job, like waitress, sales assistant, .From those working experience, I learned many great skills in dealing with people.

(二)課外活動或打工經驗
如有打工經驗或社團經驗，可說明這過程中的收穫，以及對於所求職工作能力需求的幫助，如有實例可佐證更好。另外，個人從這些活動經驗中的心得，對於某項職場工作倫理的體悟，也可提出來，藉此展現自己待人處世的成熟度。
e.g.:
In college period, I was awarded of the multi-characteristics of Internet. So I browsed all kinds of multi-media design and try to learn every courses of communication issue that school offered such as programming, marketing, design, writing and even filming. In addition, I prepared myself to be one who can use design tools very well. Therefore, I’ve got the design concept and sense through implementation experience. I have designed several websites, such as JongHeng Storage Company.

(三)自我生涯期許
個人在短期以及長期的生涯發展規劃，個人成就期許，均可加以說明。此舉可以加強雇主對於求職者求職動力、企圖心的印象。
e.g.:
I am outgoing ,easy to get along with, and very active .I was a member of social service club, and being the president of the club. Because of this position, I learned more things, like leadership skills, organizing group activities and designing posters and cards.

最後有禮貌的結尾
e.g.:
I am an easy-going individual, in that I can deal with colleagues harmoniously in any situations. I believe in team work that offers the magic power such as 1+1>2. Of course, I will never ignore the independent work ability. After serving mandatory military service, I am now ready to devote myself to the Internet world.
