What NOT to do:6 ways to ruin your resume

In the time it takes you to read this paragraph, the erage recruiter will he plowed through six resumes. (We know; we timed one.) Want to increase the chances of your resume making it to the next round? Then dont do any of these seven things, which recruiters say more than anything make them want to push the shred button.

让我们不妨花一些时间来阅读下面的文章。平均每个招聘人员都会仔细的在六份简历中挑选其中一份，我们知道，他们仅仅需要一份。想增加你履历进入下一轮的机会吗？如果想，招聘人员告诉我们，使他们不想对你的简历按红灯的办法是，不要犯以下七种错误。

1. Apply for a job for which you are not remotely qualified （申请和自己能力相差过于悬殊的职位）

Many candidates believe the job hunt is a numbers game drop enough resumes, and youre bound to land something. But shotguns are for hunting pheasant, not finding jobs. The reality is that recruiters hate wasting time on resumes from unqualified candidates. Man Miller, an executive recruiter at StaffMark, recalls the security guard who applied to be a financial risk manager (maybe Lehman should he hired him), while Scott Ragusa at Winter, Wyman talks of the aerial photographer who sought out a position as a tax specialist.

Sorting through unqualified resumes is frustrating, unproductive and puts an extra burden on staff, says Katherine Swift, Senior Account Director at KCSA Strategic munications in Natick, Mass. It also makes it much more challenging to find the right candidate. So the next time youre thinking of blasting out resumes to all 60 of the job listings on Monster. that he the word finance in them , se your time (and that of the recruiters) and only apply for ones for which youre qualified.

2. Include a lofty mission statement （申请动机过于崇高--申请的动机要切合公司需要，你能为公司带来什么）

More than ever, todays sage job market is about the pany, not the candidate. As such, mission or objective statements particularly ones with an applicants hopes, dreams, and health insurance aspirations will dispatch otherwise fine resumes to the circular file. Employers dont care about how they can solve your problems certainly not before theyve met you and possibly not even after theyve hired you. Instead, write an objectives statement that explains specifically how your skills and experience will help the pany youre applying to, not the other way around. And be very clear about what kind of job youre seeking.

3. Use one generic resume for every job listing （用一通用简历申请各种类型的职位）

To stand out amongst the sea of resumes that recruiters receive, yours must speak to each and every specific position, even recycling some of the language from the job deion itself. Make it obvious that you will start solving problems even before youve recorded your outgoing voicemail message. Your CV or query letter should include a just touch of industry lingo sufficient to prove you know your stuff but not so

much that you sound like a robot. And it should speak to individual pany issues and industry challenges, with specifics on how you he personally improved customer loyalty, efficiency, and profitability at past jobs, says workplace and performance consultant Jay Forte. Plus, each morsel should be on point.

Think hard about how to best leverage each piece of information to your job search advantage, says Wendy Enelow, a career consultant and trainer in Virginia. Nothing in your resume should be arbitrary, from what you include in your job deions and achievement statements, to whether your education or experience es first [recent grads may want to put education first] to how you format your contact information.

4. Dont explain how past experience translates to a new position （没有说明过去工作经验会在多大程度上转移到新职位上）

Though candidates should oid jobs where they he no experience, they absolutely should pursue new areas and positions if they can position their experience effectively. A high school English teacher applying for new jobs, for example, can cite expertise in human resource management, people skills, record keeping, writing, and training, says Anthony Pensabene, a professional writer who works with executives.

Titles are just semantics; candidates need to relate their actual skills and experiences to the job theyre applying for in their resume, Pensabene says. An applicant who cannot be bothered to identify the parallels between the two likely wont be bothered with interviews, either.

5. Dont include a cover letter with your resume （不带求职信的简历）

A cover letter should always acpany a resume even if its going to your best friend. And that doesnt mean a lazy Im _____ and Im looking for a job in New York; please see my attached resume. Says Lindsay Olson, a partner at Manhattans Paradigm Staffing: Id like to know why you are contacting me (a particular position, referral, etc.), a short background about yourself, and a career highlight or two. Its important to attempt to set yourself apart from the petition.

6. Be careless with details （不关注细节）

Reckless job hunters rarely make for conscientious workers. As such, even promising resumes must abide by age-old dictums: typo-free, proper anization, and no embellishment. Susan Whitb, author of Resume Magic: Trade Secrets of a Professional Resume Writer, says that almost 80 percent of HR managers she surveyed said they would dismiss otherwise qualified candidates who break these rules. She tells the story of one would-be employer who, when looking for an assistant, decided not to hire anyone because every resume she received contained typos.

With a 6-to-1 ratio of jobseekers-to-jobs in the current marketplace, you cant afford to make mistakes with your resume, Whitb says.
