求職英語：這樣的簡歷讓你脫穎而出
《平凡人，非凡財富》一書的作者Ric Edelman認爲簡歷的目的不是獲得工作而是獲得面試的機會;然後你才能獲得工作。簡歷不該列舉所有技能，而是要用成績來“引誘”面試官。 下面的方法可以讓你的簡歷脫穎而出。
一、A resume should be only one, or at the most,two pages.
簡歷一頁就夠了，多了也不要超過兩張。
二、While it is true that you have only a few secondsto capture a reader's attention and it is also truethat with each additional page you reduce yourchances of your resume being read thoroughly, formost executives it is unrealistic and nearlyimpossible to compress many years of experienceinto one or two pages. When attempted, importantachievements are left out to make room for a fullchronology of the career history and education. What is left is a boring listing of companies,positions, and dates that are guaranteed to turn off the reader and land your resume in thecircular file.
因爲你只有短短的幾秒鐘的時間來獲取閱讀者的注意，因此附頁越多，完整閱讀你的簡歷的可能性就越小。對許多行政人員來說，把多年的經驗壓縮成一頁或者兩頁紙是不現實的，也幾乎是不可能的。那麼重大的成績就要爲列舉多年的工作經歷和教育騰出空位。而剩下的就是枯燥無味的公司，職位和日期的羅列，但是這些恰恰避免了你的簡歷被丟進紙簍的厄運。
三、A better strategy is to write your resume with exactly as much detail and description asis needed to persuasively convince the reader that you are the ideal candidate to solve hisor her problems - to compel the reader to pick up the phone and call you for an e this is sometimes a difficult balance to strike, you should review and edit your resumewith a very discriminating eye toward reducing unnecessary wordiness. Every word in yourresume should have a purpose. Use succinct, dynamic, action-oriented language to conveyyour ability to add value to the reader's company and you will capture and hold attentionthrough three or even more pages.
寫簡歷一個比較好的策略就是儘可能地把細節和描述恰到好處地寫出來，最大地說服讀者認爲你就是這個職位的最佳人選，能夠讓他不得不給你打電話來通知一個面試。當然這樣做是很困難的，你需要從不同角度重新審視編輯你的簡歷，儘量減少不必要的廢話，確保簡歷中的每一句話都有一個目的。使用簡潔，有動力的，能起到作用的語言來表達你能爲其公司做出貢獻的能力，那麼你就能比較容易地從很多簡歷中脫穎而出。
