如今，任何寻找工作的人都知道面试的道路铺平了不仅仅是其挑战所在。垫脚石包括networking，，，，résumé prep，，，，社交媒体优化，，，，pre-interviews—all this even before you get to the job interview.
The most challenging step for many is résumé preparation. That’s because CVs are由机器人筛选and often by a time-pressed recruiter. If you fail to impress, it could be curtains.
Fortunately, there’s a新研究这突出了简历的错误。它是由Officeneedle的MatejaVukomanović完成的，该网站为最佳商业实践提供了指导。以下是2800名接受采访的雇主确定的最大简历错误：
1. Poor grammar or typos
A full 75% of employers said they would reject a candidate if they found grammatical errors or typos in the résumé.
Proofread your résumé carefully to fix grammatical errors and typos. As for spelling, don’t rely entirely on拼写检查。虽然遇到了拼写错误的单词，但它不会选择错误的单词，例如当您的意思是“在那里”时。还有其他人眼睛良好的人看。您不希望打字使您远离梦想的工作。
2. Excessive length
A majority of employers polled (57%) said they would likely reject a résumé that’slonger than two pages。这不足为奇，因为Officeneedle的研究表明，一半的雇主需要一到五分钟的时间来审查简历，而四分之一的时间不到一分钟。
If you’ve had a short career span, keep your résumé to one page. For a longer career, two pages should do, but don’t go beyond that. If you’re finding it hard to compress your résumé into that shorter length, you have provided too much detail.
3.不显示成就
在接受采访的人中，有43％的错误是未能表明您对所履行的各种工作产生的影响。
描述您的责任而不是产生的结果太容易了。相反，请明确测量您的成功。例如，如果您的销售额，您可能会说您带来了10个新客户，每年总收入为200万美元。如果您处于人力资源状态，您可能会提到您设计了一种新的入职系统，该系统将保留率加倍。如果您正在制造中，则说您将质量控制提高了15％。这些影响语句应为每个职位描述中的项目符号项目。您拥有的越多，您会看起来越好。
4.不适合工作
可以关闭潜在雇主的第四个错误正在提交不适合您申请的职位的简历。
In the study, a full 46% of employers said they wouldn’t bother to take a second look at a résumé if it’s not tailored to the desired position. That makes sense. What employer wants to feel he or she is one of many? And who would hire you if you don’t bother to show how your experience qualifies you for the role?
为了量身定制简历，研究职位描述并确保在页面上很容易找到他们想要的关键能力。在适当的情况下，使用相同的语言甚至相同的单词。但是，不要使用钥匙短语过度滚动，否则您的句子会笨拙且没有意义。Vukomanović建议您大声阅读简历，以确保散文光滑。
5.布局不佳
第五个失误与布局有关。在这项研究中接受调查的雇主希望您使他们轻松阅读您的简历。大多数人抱怨说，他们不喜欢看到工作历史或教育历史，从最古老开始。取而代之的是，从最新到最古老的情况按时间顺序进行。Vukomanović建议您最大程度地关注最近的职位，使您对最古老的工作的描述更短。
If there are gaps in your résumé, there is no need to explain them. Only 18% of employers said they would like the résumé to explain any gaps. And only 25% said they would want an explanation for why you might have had a very short tenure in a position. These situations can be explained in a cover letter or interview.
最后，您的布局应该没有精美的字体，并避免使用多个字体。接受调查的雇主中有46％表示，如果使用多个字体，他们可能会拒绝简历。根据另一个最受欢迎的字体选择survey，有钙纤维，时代的新罗马人和Arial。
6.细节不足
Another common misstep is not providing enough information to the employer. Almost all employers in the study (93%) said they want to see your phone number in the contact section of your résumé. Fifty seven percent complained about résumés that did not include the full name of a candidate’s educational institution (for example, putting UCLA, rather than University of California, Los Angeles). Twenty one percent of employers said they could reject a résumé that provided an email with “suspicious number combinations and silly names.” And 21% said they want to see how the candidate acquired skills not related to their education or working experience. They want to make sure those skills were actually acquired. In short, your résumé should provide all the facts with accuracy.
7.过于通用的语言
A final flaw to avoid is the use of overly general language, rather than providing clear, polished descriptions of your work history. Fourteen percent of employers were left with a “bad impression” if language on a résumé is too generic.
因此，避免使用“我与媒体合作”之类的广泛陈述。取而代之的是，“我与媒体建立了牢固的关系，并通过电视和商业媒体上的高管获得了可见性。”我说的不是“我出售债券”，“我监督了一个固定收益专家的团队，我们共同带来了1亿美元的年销售额。”
