新概念雙語：求職簡歷雷區(qū)：三個要避免的問題

When Tina Nicolai began working as a recruiter for Walt Disney World in the late 1990s, she noticed that many job seekers were submitting flawed résumés.

蒂娜·尼科萊曾于上世紀90年代末擔任迪斯尼大世界的招聘專員，當時她就發(fā)現(xiàn)許多求職者的簡歷存在缺陷。

"I realized people simply did not know how to market themselves or their achievements," Nicolai tells Business Insider. "And that’s how I knew there was a market to educate job candidates at all levels and in all industries."

尼科萊告訴Business Insider網站：“我發(fā)現(xiàn)許多人對怎樣推銷自己，或展示自己所取得的成就毫無頭緒。隨即我意識到針對各行業(yè)各層級求職者的教育培訓有不錯的市場前景。”

So in 2010, she founded Résumé Writers’ Ink.

她于2010年創(chuàng)立了Résumé Writers’ Ink公司。

"Since launching my company, I’ve read over 40,000 résumés," she says. And there are a few things she’s seen over and over again that are "pretty irritating."

尼科萊表示“從公司創(chuàng)立至今，我已看了不下4萬份簡歷”，而有些反復出現(xiàn)的問題令人感到“相當惱火”。

She says: "These are the three most annoying things I’ve seen: Summaries that are way too long; overused résumé jargon; and appearing too formal and rigid."

她說：“這其中有三個最讓人厭煩的問題，分別是冗長的總結，濫用簡歷術語和過于正式嚴肅的文體。”

Summaries are annoying, she explains, when they are written in a formal tone and include too many adjectives. "After a while, the summaries can read like a lengthy chapter in a book. It’s better to list a few bullets with pointed achievements and a branded tag line stating, ’known for achieving XYZ.’"

尼科萊解釋道，如果一份簡歷中的總結的語體非常正式，包含太多的形容詞，讀起來會令人生厭。“這樣的總結就像書中一段非常長的章節(jié)，讓人根本讀不下去。而較好的總結中應列舉有亮點的成就，配上幾行標簽式的描述，也就是人們所知的‘成就坐標系’。”

Meanwhile, résumé jargon such as "out-of-the-box," "team player," and "exceptional communicator" are "baseline expectations in today’s market," Nicolai says. "A person who truly is a ’unique problem solver who works well in teams’ will convey this succinctly and creatively on their résumé through a combination of few words and imagery."

“而像‘創(chuàng)新型思維’、‘具備團隊精神’和‘擁有罕見的溝通才能’之類的描述其實都屬于當今職場對求職者最基本的要求”尼科萊說道“如果一名求職者‘在原團隊中表現(xiàn)良好，是解決問題獨一無二的人選’，那么他的簡歷則截然不同。這些人的簡歷語言表達富有創(chuàng)造性，往往三言兩語就能將這些優(yōu)點一一表達出來。”

Lastly, she says she finds overly formal résumés annoying, because they’re not engaging and don’t allow the reader to get a good sense of the applicant’s personality.

尼科萊最后指出，簡歷的文體過于正式同樣是個問題，這樣的簡歷乏善可陳，看簡歷的人也無法直觀了解求職者的個性特點。

The next time you go to submit your résumé, make sure it’s clear of these three things.

下次自己寫簡歷時，記得不要犯上述三個錯誤哦。
