英文簡歷的寫作注意要點及技巧
one of the most important things to have when you're job hunting is a killer résumé. after all, if your cv doesn't pass muster, you won't even get a chance to meet face-to-face and let potential employers know why you're the right person for the job.
here are some details you should remove from your résumé:
以下是一些你應該從簡歷中刪去的東西：
1. middle and high school information. if you've gone through college, you usually don't need to add your high school information, particularly if you're way past the graduation date. middle school references are also best taken out.
有關初高中的信息。你要是上過大學，通常來說你就不需要在簡歷里寫有關你高中時期的信息了，尤其是當你已經畢業了很多年以后。初中校長的評語之類的也最好去掉吧。
2. average or poor gpa. if the company doesn't ask for it, there's no reason to in your gpa, especially if your college days are far behind. including a low gpa won't help your case.
平庸的、或是糟糕的績點。只要公司沒要求你提供績點，你就沒必要寫出來，尤其是當你的大學成績遠遠落后的時候。交一份很低的績點出來對你毫無幫助。
3. passive language. use action verbs and don't make weak references to your achievements. for example, saying things like "familiar with [some skill]" or "learned how to [some skill]" is unnecessary. you should cut to the chase and immediately address the skill so you seem like you have the experience, instead of looking like a trainee.
被動的語句。使用一些積極的表述，而不要對你取得的成就使用一些單薄的'描述。比如，你沒必要說“我熟悉(某種技能)”或“我學過(某種技能)”。你應該開門見山地說出你具備的技能，這樣你才會看起來有經驗，而不是像個實習生似的。
4. photos. unless requested or depending on the industry, leave your photo out. you are not being judged on how you look, so including a photo will make you look unprofessional.
照片。除非有要求或是行業需要，就別加你的照片上去了。你不是由你的外表來評價的。所以加上一張照片會顯得你不夠專業。
5. a series of short-lived jobs. if you've had a series of jobs that you've held for short periods of time, it might be a good idea to take them out. you don't want your résumé looking disjointed and you don't want employers to think you don't have focus. some exceptions can be if you worked somewhere really prestigious that would make you look like a better job candidate or if you had a long period of unemployment and had nothing else to put in your résumé. still, even in those circumstances, be very cautious about what you do include.
大量的短期工作。如說你有很多短期工作的經驗，或許不提它們是比較好的選擇。你一定不希望你的簡歷看起來很脫節，也不希望招聘者覺得你是個缺乏重點的人。不過也有些例外，比方說你曾在某個知名企業工作過，這會使你看起來是個更靠譜一些的求職者;又比如你有有段時間長期失業，實在沒別的好放進簡歷了。不過，即使是在那些情況下，你也要注意你放在簡歷里的內容。
6. objective statement. it's rare that an objective statement will help you, and it can oftentimes hurt you, so it's usually best to take it out. not to mention, it's generally quite hard to write a good objective statement. after all, you're telling the company what you're looking for, when in fact, the firm isn't there to help you achieve your goals.
客觀描述。很少有客觀的描述能幫到你，大部分情況下反而會傷到你。所以大部分情況下最好不要用。更別說，實際上寫出一句好的客觀描述通常是比較困難的。畢竟，你是在告訴對方公司你在找什么工作，而事實上，公司并不是為了幫你實現目標而存在的。
7. really obvious skills. proficiency in, for example, microsoft word is generally common. try to take those out of the skills section and substitute them with less common skills.
十分明顯的技能。比如說，對microsoft word的掌握是非常普遍的。試著把它從技能欄里去掉吧，換上一些不那么常見的技能。
8. more pages. the general rule of thumb with résumés is to keep it to a page. two pages should be the maximum amount of pages you should have, and it should only be that length when you're applying for very senior-level positions. keeping it short will help you pull out the most impressive achievements and leave the irrelevant ones in the dust.
多于一頁。做簡歷的基本規則是保持在一頁內，兩頁是最高限制了，而且也只有當你申請高級職位時才可以用。精簡簡歷可以幫助你把那些最令人印象深刻的成就留下來，而把那些不相關的東西刪掉。
