简历误区:你听到的这些建议都是错的
Many of the old-school rules and much of the conventional wisdom when it comes to resumes is either outdated or was never really on target to start with: You should never have a resume of more than one page. List your hobbies. Include a statement and summary of your "goals and objectives." Keep the document dry and professional. 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. 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. 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. |
