    • In general, it is a good resume, little observations for you to consider:
      to be consistent, please use past tense for your last job.

      I would put level CGA student (enrolled) instead of enrollment of ....

      you can hide your company name for privacy, however, to list time period on each job will assist others to help you polish your resume from employer's expectation.

      good luck
      • Thanks for the advice!
    • Additional information to my resume: 6 months on first job, 1 year on 2nd job, and 19months on current job
    • 另外,请问各位CGA前辈和同学,CGA不是需要3年工作经验吗?我今天一看,网站上说2 years of professional experience....两年也可以?还是两年的 "professional experience" = senior accountant responsibilities?
    • 最好把QuickBooks和SA 去掉。
      • may i ask why???
        • 你已经是accoutant 了,集中在ERP上发展。QbSa现在谁都会用,不要占用宝贵的简历空间。
          • 明白了,谢谢
    • 说两句我的看法吧,你的简历还有很大的提升空间。
      本文发表在 rolia.net 枫下论坛首先,SUMMARY OF QUALIFICATION 部分,亮点不够。1). Financial Accounting这是非常general的提法,在具体职能方面你的强项是什么?Reporting?Planning? Taxation?Costing? Cash Management? AP/AR? which industry? 2). 没有soft skills的介绍,让人无从知道你除了技术之外是否还具有其他的工作品质。

      其次,你的简历缺乏progressive experience,尽管你的职位从Jr.升到了Accountant,在从你的描述中,这种提升看不出来。比如你两段经历都有完全相同的职责,这种重复不是一种好的简历写法。你的几段经历要尽量拉出层次上的差别,尤其在初中级阶段,是职业上升最快的时期,一份循序渐进的简历更讨喜。

      再次,整个简历的叙述太平淡,看不出来你对公司起的作用。我们说简历的每一点最好用STAR结构:situation, task, action, result。你的简历只有task,其他都没有,每一点都让我觉得只有半句话。如果我是雇主,一段职责描述上能抓住我眼球是这些关键词:timeliness, accuracy, analysis, consolidation, control, desicion support, forecasting, compliance, etc. 你的简历中我都没看到这些。另外,你的内部client是谁?你那些report都谁在用,比如Board, Audit Committee, regulatory authorities, stakeholders, etc. 这些会让人对你在公司的作用有大致了解,说实话,很能提高你的工作档次,嘿嘿。。除了描述方式以外,还有个结构和主次问题。比如你作为accountant,GL reconciliation肯定占很大比重,但就复杂程度来说,它比不上decision support,所以我建议你把investigate variances and provide explanations for management放在前面。类似的还有HST filing,这些Cleric的职责可有可无,除非你就是冲着那工作去的。倒是Prepare the full set of financial statements 值得大书特书一番。

      最后,你的简历用语不够专业或者语焉不详。比如“Perform general ledger reconciliation for all major accounts to ensure general ledger account balance and sub-ledger account balance are equal” ,句子太罗嗦还没说清到底是什么account。乍一看我还以为是wiki 百科搜来的呢!这样的写法很容易让人质疑真实性。最好是加入一些公司具体业务的元素,比如revenue account reconciliation vs sales reports, Balance sheet reconciliation vs inventory reports. you gotta give something specific.

      还有一个问题,我想问你,你对自己的职业规划是什么?你的下一个目标职位是什么?我觉得清晰的职业定位是写好一份简历的前提。不谢:)更多精彩文章及讨论,请光临枫下论坛 rolia.net
