Many of the old-school rules and much of the conventional wisdom when it comes to resumes is either outdated or was never really on target to start with:
許多學(xué)校提供的如何寫簡歷的法則，以及一些傳統(tǒng)的觀點(diǎn)，要么就過時(shí)了，要么沒有切中要害。比如：

You should never have a resume of more than one page.
簡歷不要超過一頁。

List your hobbies.
羅列你的愛好。

Include a statement and summary of your "goals and objectives."
陳述和總結(jié)一下你的目標(biāo)。

Keep the document dry and professional.
讓你的簡歷看起來簡潔、專業(yè)。

The problem, according to professional resume writers, is that much of this advice establishes a cookie-cutter formula that makes it hard for your own document to stand out.
在簡歷專家看來，這些建議會(huì)讓你的簡歷看起來千篇一律，毫無特色，無法出眾。

Among the mistakes experts single out: showing only your job descriptions without accomplishments; one-page, brief resumes for people with considerable experience; using small font size and abbreviated descriptions to fit into one page; listing hobbies, interests and personal data; placing references directly in the resume; courier font, unusual fonts and "fancy" formatting; explanations of "reasons for leaving" previous positions; and lying, exaggerating or misrepresenting your credentials and accomplishments.
簡歷專家指出常見錯(cuò)誤有：簡歷中往往只寫上工作崗位描述，而沒有相關(guān)成就；“一頁簡歷”的潛規(guī)則導(dǎo)致應(yīng)聘者即使經(jīng)驗(yàn)豐富，簡歷也十分簡潔，有時(shí)還不得不縮小字體，縮短文字，以免超出一頁；羅列興趣愛好，個(gè)人信息；在簡歷中直接放上推薦信；使用courier字體，或者其他不常見的字體，采用花哨的排版；絮叨之前辭職的原因；作假，夸大或者篡改相關(guān)證書和成就。

What does work: showing your accomplishments for each job description; including email and Web addresses; highlighting special projects and assignments; and creatively presenting entrepreneurial activities.
行之有效的作法是：在每個(gè)工作崗位后加上你的成就；在簡歷中寫上郵箱地址和網(wǎng)址；強(qiáng)調(diào)特殊的項(xiàng)目以及任務(wù)；用創(chuàng)意的手法呈現(xiàn)企業(yè)活動(dòng)。
