许多学校提供的如何写简历的法则，以及一些传统的观点，要么就过时了，要么没有切中要害。比如：

You should never have a resume of more than one page。

简历不要超过一页。

List your hobbies。

罗列你的爱好。

Include a statement and summary of your "goals and objectives."

陈述和总结一下你的目标。

Keep the document dry and professional。

让你的简历看起来简洁、专业。

The problem, according to professional resume writers, is that much of this advice establishes a cookie-cutter formula that makes it hard for your own document to stand out。

在简历专家看来，这些建议会让你的简历看起来千篇一律，毫无特色，无法出众。

Among the mistakes experts single out: showing only your job descriptions without accomplishments； one-page, brief resumes for people with considerable experience； using small font size and abbreviated descriptions to fit into one page； listing hobbies, interests and personal data； placing references directly in the resume； courier font, unusual fonts and "fancy" formatting； explanations of "reasons for leaving" previous positions； and lying, exaggerating or misrepresenting your credentials and accomplishments
