Want more interviews? Job searches in tough times like now demand polished resumes more than ever. If you are attempting to write your own resume, these seven tips are important to follow:

希望有更多的面试机会? 在当今这样经济困难的时期，求职者比以往更需要精良的简历。如果你打算亲自动手写简历，下面是七个重要的建议：

1. Select the best format. 选择最佳格式

While most resumes are written in a history chronological format, often a better technique is to evenly balance between skill-set description, achievements, and employment. 多数简历是按照时间顺序写的，可是通常更好地做法是掌握好“技能描述”、“业绩”和“工作情况”之间的平衡。

2. Make certain your document is error free. 确保简历文字准确无误

Since you are familiar with your own writing, you will "see" what you were thinking and not what is actually on the page. Do not rely on yourself to proofread your work and do not rely on spell-check. Find a friend who has strong grammar skills to check your work. 因为人们熟悉自己的文字，所以“看到的”是自己所想的，而不是实际写在纸上的。不要自己来检查，不要靠拼写工具检查。请一位语法很强的朋友来检查你制作好的简历。

3. Find a balance between wordiness and lack of detail. “简”和“繁”的平衡

Employers need to see details about your work history and experience, but they don't need to know everything. The fact that you were den leader in your Cub Scout troop is irrelevant. Keep information germane to the goal of attaining an interview. Eliminate information that is not related and will not have a direct impact on winning the interview. 雇主们需要了解你的工作背景、经验，可并不需要了解一切。你在童子军做教练员就是无关的信息。要让简历内容和能帮你争取到面试机会。删掉无关的、对赢得面试不会有直接影响的信息。
