In today’s press-a-button-and-it’s-sent environment, resumes and CVs flood many companies at a staggering pace. Google, for instance, averages 50,000 resumes a week.
在如今這個(gè)“一鍵發(fā)送”的環(huán)境中，簡(jiǎn)歷每天都像洪水一樣涌入很多公司的郵箱。例如，谷歌平均每天都能收到5萬(wàn)份簡(jiǎn)歷。
The average time spent on a resume by recruiters is a mere six seconds. Maybe that’s why some people, particularly in the tech world, have begun looking for other ways to stand out. The question: is it bragging or relevant to add, say, that you’re an ultra-marathon runner or that you’ve summited Mount Everest?
招聘官看每份簡(jiǎn)歷平均花費(fèi)的時(shí)間只有6秒鐘?；蛟S正因如此，有些人才開始通過(guò)其他方式讓自己脫穎而出——在當(dāng)今的科技時(shí)代，這一趨勢(shì)顯得尤為明顯。
Show a little personality 展現(xiàn)個(gè)性
This is, again, where tailoring a CV to the position you’re seeking — and even the company and hiring managers you’re targeting — is crucial.
關(guān)鍵問(wèn)題在于，必須要針對(duì)你所申請(qǐng)的職位——甚至目標(biāo)公司或招聘官——定制自己的簡(jiǎn)歷。
Always ask yourself if the outside interests you mention have some relevance to the position for which you are applying.
時(shí)刻不忘問(wèn)自己一個(gè)問(wèn)題：你所提及的興趣愛(ài)好與你申請(qǐng)的職位是否有關(guān)系。
Everything you include needs to support the goal of landing the target position or at least convincing the employer that your hobby is an asset.
你在簡(jiǎn)歷中包含的所有信息都必須與你的求職目標(biāo)相符，至少也要說(shuō)服雇主相信，你的業(yè)余愛(ài)好是一項(xiàng)有價(jià)值的資產(chǎn)。
Whatever the case, your CV should be used to reinforce the image you are trying to present.
無(wú)論如何，簡(jiǎn)歷都應(yīng)該用來(lái)強(qiáng)化你試圖呈現(xiàn)出來(lái)的個(gè)人形象。
Use your cover letter to outline a little about yourself that is relevant to the job you are applying for, and what you are looking for in the role, adding “be straightforward and to the point.”
用求職信大致說(shuō)明你的特點(diǎn)與你所申請(qǐng)的職位之間的關(guān)系，以及你希望從這個(gè)職位中得到什么，“應(yīng)該直入主題”。
