Many of the old-school rules and much of the conventional wisdom when it comes to resumes is either outdated or was never really on target to start with: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