If youre sending out rsums and not getting many calls to interview, theres a good chance that your rsum is the problem. If youre like most people, your rsum could use some work and like most people, youre probably not sure where to start.
如果投了简历却没接到多少面试电话，很可能是简历有问题。如果你也是这些人中的一员，你的简历可以做些修改你可能不知道从哪里开始改。
But you probably dont need to start from scratch. You can often significantly improve your rsum by just making a handful of changes. Here are five small changes you can make that will have a big impact.
不过你不需要从头修改。只做些小改变通常就能大大改善简历。下面的五处修改会让简历有很好效果。
1. Get rid of the objective. Rsum objectives never help and often hurt. Not only do they feel outdated at this point, but they're all about what you want, rather than what the employer wants. Your rsum should be focused on showing your experience, skills and accomplishments. Its not the place to talk about what youre seeking in your next job.
1. 不要写求职目标。在简历上写求职目标从来没用，还会有坏处。它们不仅落伍过时，而且都是有关你想要的而不是雇主想要的东西。简历应该集中展现你的经历、技能和成就。不应该商量你在下一份工作中想得到什么。
2. Focus on work accomplishments, not job duties. If youre like most job seekers, your rsum lists what you were responsible for at each job you held, but doesn't explain what you actually achieved there. Rewriting to focus on accomplishments will make it more likely to catch a hiring managers eye. For instance, get rid of lines like managed email list and replace them with lines like increased email subscribers by 20 percent in six months in other words, something that explains how you performed, not just what your job was.
2. 关注工作成就，而不是工作职责。你的简历是不是和大多数求职者一样只写每份工作的职责，却没写结果？写好成就是关键，这样更有可能抓住招聘经理的眼球。例如，别写像整理邮件之类的话，用6个月内邮件用户增加了20%代替换句话说，写清楚你的工作表现，而不只是写工作内容。
3. Get rid of big blocks of text. If your rsum is filled with large blocks of text as opposed to bullet points theres a good chance that youre putting hiring managers to sleep. They want to quickly skim the first time they look at your rsum, and big blocks of text make that difficult and make most hiring managers eyes glaze over. Theyll pay more attention and absorb more information about you if your rsum is arranged in bullet points rather than paragraphs.
3. 不要有大段文字。如果你的简历都是大段文字而不是按要点写招聘经理很可能没兴趣看了。他们看简历时想快速浏览，大段文字看起来困难，他们眼睛都要看花了。如果你的简历排出了要点而不是有很多段落，他们会看得更仔细，也能了解到更多信息。
4. Shorten it. If your rsum is multiple pages, you might be diluting the impact of its contents. With a shorter rsum, youll ensure that in an initial quick scan, the hiring managers eyes fall on the most important things. Plus, long rsums can make you come across as someone who cant edit and doesnt know what information is essential and whats less important. As a general rule, your rsum shouldnt be longer than two pages, maximum. (And if youre a recent grad, it should only be one page, because you havent yet had enough work experience to justify a second one.)
4. 减少页数。如果你的简历有很多页，你可能把不重要的内容也写上去了。短小精悍的简历能确保招聘经理快速扫视时能看到最重要的东西。另外，长简历会让别人觉得你不会编辑文档，也不会区分信息的重要程度。一般来说，简历最多不能超过两页。（如果你是应届毕业生，应该一页就够了，因为你还没有足够的工作经验去写第二页。）
5. Give yourself permission to remove things that dont strengthen your candidacy. You dont need three lines explaining boring job duties especially if these responsibilities are going to be implied by your title. Similarly, you dont need to include that summer job from eight years ago, that job you did for three weeks that didnt work out or every skill you can think of. Your rsum is a marketing document, not a comprehensive listing of everything about you; include the things that strengthen your candidacy and pare down the rest.
5. 删掉不够有竞争力的内容。你不需要用三行字说明无聊的工作职责尤其是这些责任可以从职位名称中看出来的时候。同样，你不需要写八年前的暑期工作，以及做了三个星期却没学到什么技能的工作。你的简历是用来推销自己的，不要像写清单一样把每件事都列下来，请写能加强竞争力和能把别人比下去的事情吧。
