最优秀的促销是自我促销。来自中国这样一个注重谦虚文化的国邦，我们总觉得自大有罪。但是美国的文化会要求你偶尔适当地自大一些，才能更好的展示自我。那么如何才能把自己的简历整理成一个完整的包裹然后递送给你的申请公司呢？

The best promotion in the marketing world is self-promotion. Coming from a country like China, we always treat modest as one of the best qualities that people can have. Nevertheless, competitive American culture requires you to be more confidence to show yourself.

1. 列出你的背景，教育，实习，研究，活动，工作。然后看看哪些是你的雇主所希望看到的。
2. 头脑风暴找出自己的长处和技能。不但要让潜在雇主看到你能做什么，而且要看到你做的有多好，为什么这个很重要，你能给公司带来怎样的成绩。
3. 说出来和卖出去。你不但想要雇主看到你在说“快看我”，更要让他们看到“看看我能为你做什么！”
4. 运用一些具体的细节来突出你的能力
5. 不要只说你的经历，也表现你的其他特点，比如你重要的品质，你的责任心，公司不是单单在招一个工作机器，而是在招一个co-worker.
6. 不要一直强调第一人称，大家都知道这是你的简历。

According to the classification of dummies. Com, in resume writing, there are a total of the following formats:

Reverse chronological: Lists all employment and education, beginning with the most recent and working backward.

Functional (skills-based): Shows what you can do instead of relaying what you’ve done and where you did it.
