这些信息应立刻从简历中删除

主语

 

If you applied¹, it's already obvious you want the job.

如果你投递了简历，很明显是你想要这份工作。

 

多个电话号码

 

Amanda Augustine, a career expert for TopResume, suggests including only one phone number on your resume, ideally your cell phone.

TopResume网站职业专家阿曼达·奥古斯丁建议，简历中只留一个电话号码，最好是手机号码。

 

内容冗余

 

If you're using a 0.5-inch margin² and eight-point font in an effort to get everything to fit on one page, consider it an "epic³ fail," says J.T. O'Donnell, founder⁴ of career advice site Careerealism.com.

职业咨询网站Careerealism.com创始人J.T.奥唐纳认为，如果为了将所有内容都放到一页纸上，而使用0.5英寸的页边距和8号字体，那简直是“史诗级败笔”。

 

She recommends lots of white space and no more than a 0.8 margin.

她建议多留些空白，且不超过页边距0.8英寸。

 

Augustine agrees, warning particularly against dense⁵ blocks of text.

奥古斯丁对此表示同意，并特别警告不要出现大段大段的文字。

 

短暂的工作经历

 

Avoid including a job on your resume if you only held the position for a short period of time, Alyssa Gelbard, founder of career consulting firm Resume Strategists says. You should especially avoid including jobs you were let go from or didn't like.

职业咨询公司Resume Strategists的创始人阿丽莎·格尔巴德称，如果一份工作经历很短暂，不要写在简历上，应该避免出现你被解雇或不喜欢的工作经历。

 

用现在时描述过去的工作经历

 

Never describe past work experience using the present tense. Only your current job should be written in the present tense, Gelbard says.

格尔巴德提醒，在写英文简历时，要注意不要用现在时描述过去的工作经历。只有现在的工作应该用现在时来描述。

 

离职原因

 

Candidates often think, "If I explain why I left the position on my resume, maybe my chances will improve."

应聘者常常会想，“如果在简历上阐述离职原因，也许提高简历通过机会。”

 

In reality, doing so is "irrelevant⁶". Instead, use your interview to address this.

事实上，这样做是“无意义的”。相反，在面试中阐述这一点。

 

成绩

 

Once you're out of school, your grades aren't nearly as relevant anymore.

一旦离开学校，你的成绩就不再那么重要了。

 

If you're a new college graduate and your GPA was a 3.8 or higher, it's okay to leave it. But, if you're more than three years out of school, or if your GPA was lower than a 3.8, ditch it.

如果你是一名刚毕业的大学生，且GPA在3.8以上，那么可以写在简历上。但是，如果你离开学校超过三年，或者GPA低于3.8，那么不要写。

 

工作成就

 

Don't just say you accomplished⁷ X, Y, or Z — show it by quantifying the facts.

不要只说你完成了X、Y或Z——通过量化事实来说明。

 

For instance, instead of saying, "Grew revenues," try saying, "X project resulted in an Y% increase in revenues."

例如，不要说“增加收入”，而是说“X项目增收Y%”。
