According to Ric Edelman, author of Ordinary People, Extraordinary Wealth, the purpose of a résuméis not to get a job, it's to get an interview-you will get the job. A résuméshould not list all your skills, but rather tease the employer with your achievements. These are ways to make your résuméstand out.

　　《平凡人，非凡財(cái)富》一書的作者Ric Edelman認(rèn)為簡(jiǎn)歷的目的不是獲得工作而是獲得面試的機(jī)會(huì)；然后你才能獲得工作。簡(jiǎn)歷不該列舉所有技能，而是要用成績(jī)來"引誘"面試官。下面的方法可以讓你的簡(jiǎn)歷脫穎而出。

　　1. Broaden your work experience. 將工作經(jīng)驗(yàn)適用范圍拓寬

　　* Describe your job skills in ways that are transferable to other industries. 描述工作技能時(shí)，要讓這些技能看上去可以應(yīng)用到其它行業(yè)。

　　* Don't limit yourself to a specific type of job by simply listing the daily tasks you performed at your job. Expand on how your job impacted the business industry or company. 不要只列出過去具體的工作，這會(huì)給自己設(shè)定局限。而是描述你的工作怎樣影響到整個(gè)行業(yè)或公司。

　　2. Use strong verbs. 用詞要有力

　　* Don't talk about your capabilities. Talk about your accomplishments. 不要談?wù)撃愕哪芰�，而要談�(wù)摮煽?jī)。

　　* Use active tenses rather than passive voice. 用主動(dòng)語態(tài)。

　　* Good words to use are managed, created, led, accomplished and organized. 一些適合的詞匯有：管理了、創(chuàng)建了、領(lǐng)導(dǎo)了、取得了、組織了。

　　3. Target a specific person. 目標(biāo)讀者要明確

　　Address your cover letter and envelope to a specific person. Usually a simple phone call to the company is all you need. 在你的求職新和信封上寫上明確的收件人。通常打個(gè)電話就可以了解需要的一切。

　　4. Target a specific position. 職位要明確

　　Identify the position you are interested in and tweak your résuméto match the industry. 注明你感興趣的職位，將簡(jiǎn)歷稍稍改善以和職位匹配。

　　5. Make it easy to read. 易于閱讀

　　* When writing your résuméthink, "Less is more." Many people make the mistake of putting too much information on their résumés. 寫簡(jiǎn)歷時(shí)應(yīng)該"少勝于多"。許多人會(huì)犯把太多信息放入簡(jiǎn)歷的錯(cuò)誤。

　　* Don't write to the edges of the paper. Leave white space in the margins and in between jobs. 不要在紙邊上寫。要留出適當(dāng)?shù)捻撨吘�，所列的工作之間也該留出適當(dāng)?shù)男芯唷?/p>

　　* Use a readable font at a reasonable size. 采用大小合理方便閱讀的字體。

　　* One page only. 只寫一頁紙。

　　And finally... Take your new résuméeverywhere you go. It is your new calling card!

　　最后......要隨身攜帶你的簡(jiǎn)歷。它就是你的新"名片"!
