你需要一台电脑
You will need a computer,

第一步
Step 1.
去掉你简历中的短期工作内容
Remove short-duration jobs from your resume.
无关紧要的细节会使你想要表现的特长被削弱
Insignificant details dilute the picture of the talents you are marketing.
简历的长度不得超过两页
Keep your resume no more than two pages long.
不然 即使爱你的母亲都不会愿意读下去
Even your mother wouldn’t read more than that, and she loves you.
第二步
Step 2.
去掉十五年前你从事过的工作
Eliminate jobs that you held more than 15 years ago.
你不需要覆盖曾经做过的每个工作
You don’t need to cover every job you’ve ever had.
如果需要 你可以在面试中介绍这些工作
You can mention these jobs in the interview if need be.
记住一点 从雇主的角度出发 他们已经淹没在各种应试者中了
Remember that prospective employers are overwhelmed with applicants.
所以要突出一些容易让他们眼前一亮的东西
Make the facts about you easy to find.
第三步
Step 3.
去掉那些无关的且让你的简历看起来像个人广告一样的信息
Leave out irrelevant information that can make your resume read like a personal ad.
雇主不在乎你是不是喜欢滑雪或收集邮票又或者是在公园散步
Employers don’t care that you like to ski and collect stamps or walk in the park.
第四步
Step 4.
为了节约篇幅和减少赘余 可以将职业目标和总结部分结合起来
Combine the Career Objective and Summary sections into one Career Summary to save lines and
放在职业总结里面
reduce redundancies.
不要不简化内容 而只是人为地拓宽页边距
Don’t expand the document margins to artificially reduce your resume
来达到减少页数的效果
without actually streamlining it.
有经验的人能轻易识破这类技巧
Pros can spot such tricks.
第五步
Step 5.
要用简单的描述性语言 而且要用主动语态而不是被动语态
Use descriptive but simple terms and stick to an active rather than passive voice.
还要避免太花哨的说辞 会让人觉得你有所隐瞒
Avoid flowery descriptions, which make you sound like you’re hiding something.
第六步
Step 6.
将奖项和组织社团活动部分限定在近期或正在进行的活动
Limit Awards and Organizational or Community Activities sections to recent or current activities.
只提那些能体现你符合目标职位要求的就好
Only mention involvements that reflect on your qualifications for the new job.
第七步
Step 7.
去掉＂如需证明 可提供见证人＂
Remove “References available upon request.”
这很容易理解 没必要写出来 并且也占篇幅
It’s understood, unnecessary, and takes up space.
