according to ric edelman, author of ordinary people, extraordinary wealth, the purpose of a résumé is not to get a job, it’s to get an interview—you will get the job. a résumé should not list all your skills, but rather tease the employer with your achievements. these are ways to make your résumé stand 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Γ�而要談�(wù)摮煽?jī)。 
　　* use active tenses rather than passive voice. 用主動(dòng)語(yǔ)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 résumé to 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 résumé think, "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?yè)邊距，所列的工作之間也該留出適當(dāng)?shù)男芯唷?nbsp;
　　* 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(yè)紙。 
　　and finally… take your new résumé everywhere 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”!
