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。
While it is true that you have only a few seconds to capture a reader's attention and it is also true that with each additional page you reduce your chances of your resume being read thoroughly, for most executives it is unrealistic and nearly impossible to compress many years of experience into one or two pages. When attempted, important achievements are left out to make room for a full chronology 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 the circular file.
因?yàn)槟阒挥卸潭痰膸酌腌姷臅r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(jīng)驗(yàn)壓縮成一頁或者兩頁紙是不現(xiàn)實(shí)的，也幾乎是不可能的。那么重大的成績就要為列舉多年的工作經(jīng)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(jìn)紙簍的厄運(yùn)。
A better strategy is to write your resume with exactly as much detail and description as is needed to persuasively convince the reader that you are the ideal candidate to solve his or her problems - to compel the reader to pick up the phone and call you for an interview. While this is sometimes a difficult balance to strike, you should review and edit your resume with a very discriminating eye toward reducing unnecessary wordiness. Every word in your resume should have a purpose. Use succinct, dynamic, action-oriented language to convey your ability to add value to the reader's company and you will capture and hold attention through three or even more pages.
寫簡歷一個比較好的策略就是盡可能地把細(xì)節(jié)和描述恰到好處地寫出來，最大地說服讀者認(rèn)為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(dāng)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，盡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(dá)你能為其公司做出貢獻(xiàn)的能力，那么你就能比較容易地從很多簡歷中脫穎而出。
