When Tina Nicolai began working as a recruiter for Walt Disney World in the late 1990s, she noticed that many job seekers were submitting flawed résumés.

蒂娜·尼科萊曾于上世紀90年代末擔任迪斯尼大世界的招聘專員，當時她就發現許多求職者的簡歷存在缺陷。

"I realized people simply did not know how to market themselves or their achievements," Nicolai tells Business Insider. "And that’s how I knew there was a market to educate job candidates at all levels and in all industries."

尼科萊告訴Business Insider網站：“我發現許多人對怎樣推銷自己，或展示自己所取得的成就毫無頭緒。隨即我意識到針對各行業各層級求職者的教育培訓有不錯的市場前景。”

So in 2010, she founded Résumé Writers’ Ink.

她于2010年創立了Résumé Writers’ Ink公司。

"Since launching my company, I’ve read over 40,000 résumés," she says. And there are a few things she’s seen over and over again that are "pretty irritating."

尼科萊表示“從公司創立至今，我已看了不下4萬份簡歷”，而有些反復出現的問題令人感到“相當惱火”。

She says: "These are the three most annoying things I’ve seen: Summaries that are way too long; overused résumé jargon; and appearing too formal and rigid."

她說：“這其中有三個最讓人厭煩的問題，分別是冗長的總結，濫用簡歷術語和過于正式嚴肅的文體。”

Summaries are annoying, she explains, when they are written in a formal tone and include too many adjectives. "After a while, the summaries can read like a lengthy chapter in a book. It’s better to list a few bullets with pointed achievements and a branded tag line stating, ’known for achieving XYZ.’"

尼科萊解釋道，如果一份簡歷中的總結的語體非常正式，包含太多的形容詞，讀起來會令人生厭。“這樣的總結就像書中一段非常長的章節，讓人根本讀不下去。而較好的總結中應列舉有亮點的成就，配上幾行標簽式的描述，也就是人們所知的‘成就坐標系’。”

Meanwhile, résumé jargon such as "out-of-the-box," "team player," and "exceptional communicator" are "baseline expectations in today’s market," Nicolai says. "A person who truly is a ’unique problem solver who works well in teams’ will convey this succinctly and creatively on their résumé through a combination of few words and imagery."

“而像‘創新型思維’、‘具備團隊精神’和‘擁有罕見的溝通才能’之類的描述其實都屬于當今職場對求職者最基本的要求”尼科萊說道“如果一名求職者‘在原團隊中表現良好，是解決問題獨一無二的人選’，那么他的簡歷則截然不同。這些人的簡歷語言表達富有創造性，往往三言兩語就能將這些優點一一表達出來。”

Lastly, she says she finds overly formal résumés annoying, because they’re not engaging and don’t allow the reader to get a good sense of the applicant’s personality.

尼科萊最后指出，簡歷的文體過于正式同樣是個問題，這樣的簡歷乏善可陳，看簡歷的人也無法直觀了解求職者的個性特點。

The next time you go to submit your résumé, make sure it’s clear of these three things.

下次自己寫簡歷時，記得不要犯上述三個錯誤哦。
