招聘经理在一份简历上仅停留几秒钟,就会决定是不是让面试者进入下一轮。无用信息会给简历扣分,甚至会叫你的简历石沉大海。下面这类信息是你应该立刻从简历中删除的。
主语
If you applied, it's already obvious you want the job.
假如你投递了简历,非常明显是你想要这份工作。
多个电话号码
TopResume, suggests including only one phone number on your resume, ideally your cell phone.
TopResume网站职业专家阿曼达·奥古斯丁建议,简历中只留一个电话号码,最好是手机号码。
内容冗余
If you're using a 0.5|inch margin and eight|point font in an effort to get everything to fit on one page, consider it an "epic fail," says J.T. O'Donnell, founder of career advice site Careerealism.com.
职业咨询网站Careerealism.com开创者J.T.奥唐纳觉得,假如为了将所有内容都放到一页纸上,而用0.5英寸的页边距和8号字体,那真的是“史诗级败笔”。
She recommends lots of white space and no more than a 0.8 margin.
她建议多留些空白,且低于页边距0.8英寸。
Augustine agrees, warning particularly against dense blocks of text.
奥古斯丁对此表示赞同,并特别警告不要出现大段大段的文字。
短暂的工作历程
Gelbard, founder of career consulting firm Resume Strategists says. You should especially avoid including jobs you were let go from or didn't like.
职业咨询公司Resume Strategists的开创者阿丽莎·格尔巴德称,假如一份工作历程非常短暂,不要写在简历上,应该防止出现你被解雇或不喜欢的工作历程。
用目前时描述过去的工作历程
Gelbard格尔巴德提醒,在写英文简历时,应该注意不要用目前时描述过去的工作历程。只有目前的工作应该用目前时来描述。
辞职缘由
Candidates often think, "If I explain why I left the position on my resume, maybe my chances will improve."
面试者常常会想,“假如在简历上讲解辞职缘由,或许提升简历通过机会。”
In reality, doing so is "irrelevant"Instead, use your interview to address this.
事实上,如此做是“无意义的”。相反,在面试中讲解这一点。
成绩
once you're out of school, your grades aren't nearly as relevant anymore.
一旦离开学校,你的成绩就不再那样要紧了。
If you're a new college graduate and your GPA was a 3.8 or higher, it's okay to leave it. But, if you're more than three years out of school, or if your GPA was lower than a 3.8, ditch it.
假如你是一名刚毕业的大学生,且GPA在3.8以上,那样可以写在简历上。但,假如你离开学校超越三年,或者GPA低于3.8,那样不要写。
工作收获
Don't just say you accomplished X, Y, or Z — show it by quantifying the facts.
不要只说你完成了X、Y或Z——通过量化事实来讲明。
For instance, instead of saying, "Grew revenues," try saying, "X project resulted in an Y% increase in revenues."
比如,别说“增加收入”,而是说“X项目增收Y%”。
