The best achievement is a promotion. It is an objective way to show that you impress the people you will work for. Presenting clearly your achievements is enough and also necessary. {#blank#}4{#/blank#}

    Don't make your resume a moral statement. It's a marketing document. Think about when a company announced the launch of their product.

Ways to Build Resilience (适应力)

Being resilient isn't about avoiding misfortune, but rather how we respond to it. Resilience means doing well in the face of risk or difficulty. {#blank#}1{#/blank#} Being resilient can help you manage stress, lower your chances of depression, and has even been proven to make people live longer. To build resilience, the experts suggest the following：

Start with reaching out for support. Lack of social support can lead to decreased resilience. While it's easy to let go of important relationships in our busy lives, {#blank#}2{#/blank#} Good relationships are a pillar (柱状物) of rock for resilience and are a source of support when the times get tough. And cultivating your sense of humor is also a plus. {#blank#}3{#/blank#} Humor helps you to gain perspective during hard times. It also improves your sense of well-being through an increase in dopamine (多巴胺) levels in your brain, and can ultimately increase your overall health.

{#blank#}4{#/blank#}Having goals and dreams increases resilience. A lack of purpose and goals reduces resilience and may leave you open to being taken advantage of, manipulation (操纵), and poor life choices；it reduces your sense of control over your life, which can easily lead to depression and anxiety.

Be a person of action. Being idle can lead to less resilience, but being active and tackling your problems head-on can promote your ability to deal with tough situations. {#blank#}5{#/blank#} Instead, do something about the situation.

A.it is vital to make room for them.

B.Then find a sense of purpose in life.

C.it is exciting to embrace the unknown.

D.Hard times call for looking at the lighter side.

E.Try to avoid thinking deeply about negative thoughts or ideas.

F.It is also the ability to bounce back from tough situations.

G.Ask questions until you feel like you have a firm grasp of a situation.
