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“一鍵發(fā)送”的環(huán)境中，簡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5萬份簡歷。
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?
招聘官看每份簡歷平均花費的時間只有6秒鐘。或許正因如此，有些人才開始通過其他方式讓自己脫穎而出——在當今的科技時代，這一趨勢顯得尤為明顯。
Show a little personality 展現(xiàn)個性
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.
關鍵問題在于，必須要針對你所申請的職位——甚至目標公司或招聘官——定制自己的簡歷。
Always ask yourself if the outside interests you mention have some relevance to the position for which you are applying.
時刻不忘問自己一個問題：你所提及的興趣愛好與你申請的職位是否有關系。
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.
你在簡歷中包含的所有信息都必須與你的求職目標相符，至少也要說服雇主相信，你的業(yè)余愛好是一項有價值的資產。
Whatever the case, your CV should be used to reinforce the image you are trying to present.
無論如何，簡歷都應該用來強化你試圖呈現(xiàn)出來的個人形象。
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.”
用求職信大致說明你的特點與你所申請的職位之間的關系，以及你希望從這個職位中得到什么，“應該直入主題”。
