求職者簡歷十大常見失誤
The average boss looks at a curriculum vitae for just three minutes while one in five make a decision on a candidate after perusing it for under a minute, new research suggests.
新研究表明，老闆看簡歷的平均時間僅爲3分鐘，而其中五分之一在查看簡歷1分鐘內對求職者做出選擇。Despite almost a quarter of candidates claiming they have excellent written communication skills, many of them fall foul of using worn clichés in their CVs, the survey of 2,000 from New College of the Humanities found.
通過對英國新人文學院2000名學生的調查發現，儘管近四分之一的面試者聲稱自己擁有優秀的書面溝通能力，但是其中很多人在簡歷中犯了陳詞濫調的禁忌。
The university-level college, founded by philosopher Professor AC Grayling, says nearly 500,000 graduates will flood the job market this month - but thousands will make silly mistakes on their CV, which in turn dampens their chances of becoming employed.
這座大學水平的學院由哲學家AC·格雷寧教授建立。該學院的研究發現，將近50萬名畢業生這個月將涌向就業市場，其中幾千名學生在簡歷中犯一些愚蠢的錯誤，而這也縮小了他們求職成功的可能。
Unsurprisingly, the worst mistakes to make on a CV are typos and grammatical errors, especially using 'there' 'their' and 'they're' incorrectly, and 'your' and 'you're'.
不出所料，這些英文簡歷上最嚴重的失誤就是打字錯誤或語法錯誤，尤其是錯誤地使用there、their和they're以及錯用your和you're。This is followed by a casual tone, such as using 'you guys' in email correspondence or signing off with 'cheers' to a prospective employer - as well as coming across as laid-back on the CV.
第二個常犯的錯誤是語氣隨便，例如在郵件交流中使用“你們這幫傢伙”或者在郵件結尾向未來的僱主寫道“祝健康”（cheers），以及在簡歷中讓僱主覺得你很散漫。In third place is the use of jargon and clichés, such as 'thinking outside the box' and stating perfectionism as your weakness.
排在第三位的錯誤是使用術語與陳詞濫調，例如“跳出思維定式”以及將完美主義列爲自己的缺點。Here are the top ten pet hates:
簡歷上最令人討厭的10項：1. Typos and grammatical errors

3、使用行話或陳腔濫調4. A CV more than two pages in length
4、簡歷長度超過兩頁5. Snazzy borders and backgrounds
5、俗麗的邊界與背景6. Writing in the third person
6、用第三人稱寫作7. Inclusion of clip art or emojis
7、包含剪貼畫或表情符號8. The use of cringeworthy quotes
8、使用令人尷尬的引語9. Unprofessional email address
9、郵件地址不專業10. Unconventional font
10、字體非常規In terms of worn clichés, almost half of CVs typically state the person tends to 'work well independently,' and a third say they are a 'team player.'
在陳腔濫調方面，近一半的人在簡歷中會將自己表述爲“善於獨立工作”，三分之一說自己“有團隊精神”。The research identified the most over used CV phrases likely to put them off potential employees:
該研究指出簡歷中最多被濫用的短語，這些短語很可能讓僱主對求職者感到反感：1. Can work independently
1、能獨立工作2. Hard worker
2、工作努力3. Works well under pressure
3、在壓力下可以很好地工作4. Good communicator
4、善於溝通5. Enthusiastic
5、富有激情6. Team player
6、具有團隊精神7. Good listener
7、善於聆聽8. Excellent written communication skills
8、出色的書面溝通能力9. Proactive
9、積極主動10. Problem solver
10、善於解決問題The research shows that one in ten have been creative over length of employment and previous companies, while five percent have bent the truth about previous positions and references.
研究表明，十分之一的求職者自稱在以往的工作和以前的公司富有創造力，5%的人在先前的職位與推薦人上撒謊。Almost twice as many women lie about their hobbies and interests compared to men.
女性更愛在愛好與興趣上撒謊，這樣做的女性數量是男性的近兩倍。These CV catastrophes could explain why a third have applied for five roles without a response and one in ten have applied for more than 50 jobs and never heard back.
這些簡歷上的失誤或許可以解釋，爲什麼三分之一的人申請了五個職位卻一個回覆的也沒有，爲什麼十分之一的人申請超50個工作，依然音信全無。
