So, you're experienced? Before you advertise this in your resume, be sure you can prove it.
Often, when job seekers try to sell themselves to potential employers, they load their resumes with vague claims that are transparent to hiring managers, according to Scott Bennett, author of "The Elements of Resume Style" (AMACOM).
你是否很有经验？在你把简历填满广告词推销给潜在雇主以前，确认你有足够的事实来证明你说的。根据Scott Bennett，《简历要素》的作者，太多人不当地使用过度的形容词来夸大自己的能力反而有害。
By contrast, the most successful job seekers avoid these vague phrases on their resumes in favor of accomplishments.
相反，有能力的候选人在简历里写满了以往的成就和自己的工作体验。而不是空洞的形容词。
Instead of making empty claims to demonstrate your work ethic, use brief, specific examples to demonstrate your skills. In other words, show, don't tell.
用简单、具体的示例来证明你的工作态度和方法。简单的说，就是事实胜过一切。
Bennett offers these examples: 以下是一些相关的样例：
Instead of... "Experience working in fast-paced environment"
Try... "Registered 120+ third-shift emergency patients per night"
Instead of... "Excellent written communication skills"
Try... "Wrote jargon-free User Guide for 11,000 users"
Instead of... "Team player with cross-functional awareness"
Try... "Collaborated with clients, A/R and Sales to increase speed of receivables and prevent interruption of service to clients."
Instead of... "Demonstrated success in analyzing client needs"
Try... "Created and implemented comprehensive needs assessment mechanism to help forecast demand for services and staffing."
The worst offenders 糟糕的情况
It's good to be hard-working and ambitious, right? The hiring manager won't be convinced if you can't provide solid examples to back up your claims.
Bennett suggests being extra-careful before putting these nice-sounding but empty words in your resume.
Bennett建议要特别当心在简历中使用那些好听但空洞的单词。
