resume问题

hgconnie

04年7月毕业，工作到了07年4月。

（刚好项目结束，也为考G，所以4月辞职）今年8月F2过来美国，现在准备申请的事情。

有几个问题。谢谢大家！！

1、04年的4月就进入应聘的公司开始熟悉情况了，但是合同是写的7月，那么这3个月要写上去吗？因为工作时间不是特别长，所以感觉多几个月会底气足点。

2、工作时间是3年，4月到现在这段空白是需要在简历上解释出来，还是在OPTIONAL ESSAY解释，还是不用书面解释，到面试的时候聊聊啊？

谢谢。。。申请的事情好烦恼！

These are trivial...

Sometimes, including three more months makes your working period seem even shorter, and over-explaining attracts more attention to your awkward situation.

If you feel obligate to point out, use as few words as possible.

Good luck~~

Thanks a lot for pointing out that for me!

I see what you mean. I will then focus on the accomplishment and eliminate these trivial details.

Thanks!

You're welcome, it's always a pleasure to help an old acquaintance out. ^_^

My best wishes for your application.~~~

old acquaintance? Happy to hear that!

One more question, please!

My title in the job offer letter is Sales Representative.

But, it is Project Manager on the business card later when I started over my job.

I am actually in charge of a new project in the South China market, leading a team of 4.

which title should I write in the resume?

Thanks!

Always list your official title for the background check.  You can list separate projects under that role if you'd like.

The title is something your company gives to you, right?

So whatever you can use, as long as your company confirms. ^_^

Besides, I think people are more interested in "in charge of a new project in the South China market, leading a team of 4", rather than what your position description is.

Also, perhaps it's not a bad idea to tell them that you started with a Sales Representative and soon became a Project Manager, and why so.

Thanks. YAOYAO & BIRD.

I mean, my title was a sales rep, but I performed as a project manager in my daily work. I did not become, but was at the very beginning.

My company printed the latter title in the official business card but they were not willing to change it in the contract.

You know, some companies would like to print a much more decent title in business card to their employees who need to meet clients and negotiate projects.

maybe I should choose the former one in case of background check. Confused!...

Then you think the school will check your contract, or rather just give a telephone call? ^o^

Of course your company is reluctant to alter the contract, because nobody cares.

To tell you the truth, there is no title at all on my card, then it must mean I'm nobody?

The important thing is what your company thinks you are.

If you are not sure, give the company a call to find out.

However, if I were you, I would begin one of my essay with "Although my official title is a Sales-Rep, I have no idea or have done anything close to what the title describes. The story should begin at my first interview..."

I think it will be fun, but of course, this is my style.

Anyway, I don't think it is anything you should worry about. Just make sure your story is true and what you says seems true.
