If you have solidskills and work experience but your resume isn’t getting any bites, you might need a resume makeover.     

如果你有很强的实力,丰富的工作经验,但是你的简历没有任何优势的话,你可能就需要装饰装饰你的简历 了。
    

1.In:A professional summary at the top of your resume. This sells you like nothing else on your resume does.     

正确的做法:在你的简历顶部放上一段专业概要。简历上没有什么比这个更有卖点了。     

Out:An objective statement at the top of your resume. Nothing says "outdated" like an objective.     

错误的做法

:在简历顶部放一段目标宣言。没有什么比目标宣言更土了。   
  

"Ditch it immediately," advises Jack Williams, vice president of national sales and recruiting for Staffing Technologies, in Atlanta. Employers don’t care what a potential hire wants to do. "They care whether they can do what the employer needs them to do," he says.

Jack Williams是亚特兰大Staffing Technologies公司的国际销售和 招聘 副总裁,他建议说:“马上删除掉。雇主不会关心一位候选人想要做什么。他们关心的是该候选人能否按照他们的需求去做。  

2.In:Resumes that are easy on the eyes.     

正确的做法:能够轻易吸引人注意的简历。  
   

"I don’t have time to read through each resume and search for the important points. They need to jump out at me," says Mike Earley, vice president of resource management at MyWire, a media aggregation site. Earley says hot resumes are organized with bullet points, not paragraphs, and have enough white space to look clean and visually interesting.     

My Wire是一个综合媒体网站,其人力资源副总Mike Earley说:“我没时间去看每一份简历,然后找出其中的重点部分。它们需要马上跳入我的眼帘。”Earley说好的简历都是非常有条理地列出要点,而不是一段一段,并且空出很多空白的地方看起来很干净、有视觉冲击效果。
    

Out:Resumes that are "grey," with large chunks of unbroken text that require recruiters to slow down. Chances are they won’t take the time.
   

错误的做法:不起眼的简历,一大段文字还不分段, 招聘 人员要慢慢去看。很可能他们不会浪费这个时间。     

3.In:A customized resume. Tailor every resume you send out for the job you’re seeking
.     

好正确的做法:定制的简历。为你应聘的每个职位定制简历。
    

Out:A cookie-cutter approach: same resume for every job. These were from the days before home computers, when changing a resume was a really big deal.
     

错误的做法:一刀切的方法:每个职位发送的简历都是一样。这种是家庭计算机还没有普及时候的做法,因为那时候改简历确实是非常麻烦的事情。     

4.In:A two-to-three-page resume when you really need the space.    
 

正确的做法:如果真的很有必要的话,两三页的简历是可以的。     

Out:A one-page resume when you really need two or three pages.
    

错误的做法:在你非常需要两三页简历说明的时候压缩成一页。
