　　Many of the old-school rules and much of the conventional wisdom when it comes to resumes is either outdated or was never really on target to start with:

　　许多学校提供的如何写简历的法则，以及一些传统的观点，要么就过时了，要么没有切中要害。比如：

　　You should never have a resume of more than one page。

　　简历不要超过一页。

　　List your hobbies。

　　罗列你的爱好。

　　Include a statement and summary of your "goals and objectives."

　　陈述和总结一下你的目标。

　　Keep the document dry and professional。

　　让你的简历看起来简洁、专业。

　　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。

　　在简历专家看来，这些建议会让你的简历看起来千篇一律，毫无特色，无法出众。

　　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。

　　简历专家指出常见错误有：简历中往往只写上工作岗位描述，而没有相关成就；“一页简历”的潜规则导致应聘者即使经验丰富，简历也十分简洁，有时还不得不缩小字体，缩短文字，以免超出一页；罗列兴趣爱好，个人信息；在简历中直接放上推荐信；使用courier字体，或者其他不常见的字体，采用花哨的排版；絮叨之前辞职的原因；作假，夸大或者篡改相关证书和成就。

　　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。

　　行之有效的作法是：在每个工作岗位后加上你的成就；在简历中写上邮箱地址和网址；强调特殊的项目以及任务；用创意的手法呈现企业活动。
