📝要慎用的五個“簡歷殺手”句子📝

Job-seekers know from harsh experience that the toughest hurdle in a job search is getting the interview. Once you get the interview, you've got some control over the process -- at that stage, you just have to do your research, and be on your game.

求職者們都從經歷過的殘酷現實中明白一個道理，那就是在求職中最難的就是怎樣得到面試機會。一旦你得到了面試的機會，你就在這個過程中掌握了一些主動權，在這個階段後，你就只需要做一些調查，然後發揮好就可以。

The resume has a harder job than you do. It's got to get you in the door. That's why it's essential for job-seekers to avoid these five resume-killing phrases. Take a look -- are any of these toxic claims poisoning your resume now?

在這個過程中，簡歷擔負的責任要比你本身擔負的要重得多。它將你帶入工作的大門。這就是求職者要避免在簡歷中使用以下5個“簡歷殺手”句子的原因了。看一看吧，你的簡歷中是否有這些句子呢？

1."I am the best candidate for the job."

“我是適合這份工作的最佳人選。”

At the resume stage, this is an irresponsible and presumptuous thing to say. Obviously, you don't know who else is applying for the job or how your qualifications stack up. Say instead, "I am very interested and believe I'm qualified for the job." Then, use the next sentence of your resume or cover letter to say how.

在簡歷上說這句話是很不負責任、過於自負的行為。很明顯，你不知道還有哪些人在應聘該職位，也不知道你的條件是否比得上別人。你可以這樣說：“我對該職位非常有興趣，並且我相信我有資格勝任此份工作。”然後，用簡歷上的下一句話或者求職信來說明你符合資格的原因。

 2."I have a proven track record of success."

“我有成功的經驗。”

Apart from its 10-out-of-10 rating on the Legendary Clich scale, this sentence makes no sense. What other kind of track record is there? There's no such thing as an unproven track record. The "success" bit on the end only lowers the perceived IQ of the writer. Replace this boilerplate phrase with a story about something specific you did to help your last employer.

除了是百分百的陳詞濫調外，這句話沒有一點意義。還能有什麼樣的業績記錄呢？未被證實的記錄壓根就不存在。用在句尾的“成功”一詞只不過讓別人覺得筆者的智商低。還是詳細地描述你曾經做過的對你前任上司有幫助的事情來代替這一陳詞濫調吧。

 3. "I left this job because of disagreements with management."

“我離職的原因是和管理層不合。”

I would never advise you to lie on a resume, but the problems-with-management message stands out like a neon sign on a resume and spells trouble. Instead say, "A shift in organizational priorities made this role less of a fit for me over time" or, "I'd learned a ton at that job, but it was time to go."

我永遠不會叫你在簡歷上撒謊，但是在簡歷上透露和管理層有矛盾就好像是一個突兀點，這也會給你帶來麻煩的。你可以這樣說：“隨著時間的推移，在公司組織事務上的變遷使得這份工作不再適合我。”或者“我在那個工作上已經學會了很多東西，是時候邁出前進的步伐了。”

 4."I am an out-of-the-box thinker."

“我是創新的思想家。”

The thing about true out-of-the-box thinkers is they'd never use this clich. Don't tell us that you're creative. Give us an example of your creativity, like "I revamped the Accounts Payable process and saved our company $1M."

真正的創新思想家是不會說出這句陳詞濫調的。不要告訴我們你是有創意的。給我們一個你創新的實例吧，比如“我修正了應付帳系統，並為我們公司節約了一百萬美金。”

5."My qualifications are evident."

“我的資質是顯而易見的。”

Don't assume that your qualifications shine though -- spell them out for us. Employers want to know that you're qualified for this job, and that means you've got to customize your resume (as well as your cover letter) for every single opening you apply for. The extra time investment is worth it -- there's a good job available for someone, and it might as well be you!

不要想當然地認為你的資料非常突出，向我們表達出來吧。雇主都想知道你能夠勝任此份工作，這就意味著你要為應聘的每一個職位定制一份簡歷。這些額外投入的時間是值得的，每個人都會有一份好工作的，很可能這份好工作就是你的。
