換種表達讓你的簡歷脫胎換骨
When it comes to resumes, and many other things, you can't look at every statement as black and white. You never want to outright lie on your resume, but you do want to paint the best picture of yourself. This sometimes means leaving out certain information or finding the right angle for your experience.
簡歷和很多其他事物一樣，你不能把每一句描述都想象得黑白分明。你一定不想在簡歷上全盤亂寫，但你一定想要描繪出你自己最好的形象。這有時候意味著省略掉某些東西，并尋找一個合適的角度來描述你的經(jīng)歷。
Don't Include Your Entire Work History
不要把你所有的工作經(jīng)歷都寫進去
Whether you have a short or long work history, you don't necessarily want to include all of it. If you're applying for a marketing position and you've worked as an intern and an associate in separate firms, but also as a cashier at a grocery store, don't pad your resume with the irrelevant job. Doing so wastes space that you can instead use to explain the good work you did at the actually relevant jobs.
不管你的工作經(jīng)歷是長是短，你都沒有必要把它們?nèi)紝戇M去。如果你申請的是一份市場類的工作，而你曾經(jīng)在不同的公司做過實習生和助理，也曾經(jīng)在百貨店做過收銀員，請不要在簡歷上寫那些無關的工作。這么做會浪費你原本能用在描述你在真正相關的工作上取得的成績的空間。
Conversely, you may want to leave off jobs (and other information) that make you look overqualified. You don't need an MFA to work in telesales or Vice President position to get a job as a programmer. Part of putting your best foot forward on your resume involves leaving out the stuff that makes you look wrong for the position, no matter how impressive.
相反的，你或許還需要刪去會讓你看起來過于超過職務要求的經(jīng)歷(或者其他信息)。電話銷售的工作并不需要你有MFA學位，程序員的工作也不需要你曾做過學生會副主席。向你的最佳簡歷邁進的重要一步就在于省略掉那些讓你看起來和這份職位不相匹配的東西，不管這些東西有多么厲害。
Don't Embellish Your Position, Explain It
不要過分潤色，只要充分解釋
You never want to lie about your position. While your work might imply a more robust job title, if a prospective employer calls your previous employer to ask about a position that doesn't exist, you'll just seem like a liar. That said, you shouldn't discount the work you did beyond the call of duty. Sean Weinberg, co-founder of resume grading site RezScore, explains what to do in these circumstances:
你一定不會想在工作經(jīng)歷上說謊。雖然你可能會填一個非常高級的工作職稱，但只要雇主給你的前任雇主打個電話，詢問到一個根本不存在的職稱時，你毫無疑問會被看做一個說謊者。這就是說，你不應該對工作經(jīng)歷作出言過其實的描述。簡歷評級網(wǎng)站RezScore創(chuàng)始人希恩-威伯格解釋了在這種情況下該怎么做：
Let’s say you were an intern last semester. You worked really hard and you think, “Hmm, I worked almost as hard as my manager, I’ll just say that I had his title instead.” Sometimes a hiring manager catches this fib and sometimes they don’t. If you were a hardworking intern, illustrate that with the bullet points below your title, not by lying about your position at the company.
我們假設你在上個學期做過實習生，期間你工作非常認真，于是你想：“唔，我工作得幾乎和經(jīng)理一樣認真，那我不如就寫我做過經(jīng)理吧。”有時人事部經(jīng)理會抓到這些小謊，有時不會。如果你曾經(jīng)是一位工作勤奮的實習生，你就好好解釋你職位上的要點，而不要在你的職位上說謊。
You can still call yourself by your correct title and explain only the great, relevant work you did. You don't have to include remedial tasks that made up most of your job if it doesn't apply to the job you're trying to get. Instead, you can leave out more of the irrelevant tasks and focus on the ones that make you look like an intelligent, hardworking prospect.
你可以僅僅描述你真實做過的職位，并解釋在這個職位上你所做的杰出、相關的工作。你不用描述和你當前申請的工作無關的那些支持性的工作。相反，你可以忽略那些無關的任務，而關注于描述會讓你顯得像個聰明努力的.候選人。
All of that said, if you have a great relationship with the company you've left (or plan to leave) and want to use a more impressive title, talk to your boss or manager about using one. They may allow you to use a more impressive-sounding title on your resume and play along when called as a reference if they like you. Perhaps they'll even award you that honorary title as a parting gift. If your boss or manager approves, it's not really a lie.
這一切說明，如果你和你離開的(或計劃離開的)公司有著良好的關系，而你想要使用一個更奪人眼球的職稱，你可以和你的老板或經(jīng)理商量一下能不能使用。他們或許會允許你在簡歷上用一個聽起來更高級的職稱，并且在被要求當證明人時替你圓謊�；蛟S他們甚至會把那個榮譽職稱授予你作為離職禮物。如果你的老板和經(jīng)理同意，這就算不上是一個謊言。
Temporarily Lie About Skills You Can Learn
暫時對那些你可以學的技能說點小謊
Do you know Excel? Probably not very well if you haven't touched it since 2004, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't include it on your resume. If you can spend a night learning what you need to know before you need to know it, you can claim proficiency in a skill you don't really have.
你會用Excel嗎?如果你從2004年后就沒接觸過它的話或許你并不能用的很好，不過這并不意味著你就不能在簡歷上寫它。如果你可以在你需要這項技能前花一晚上的時間學你需要知道的東西，你就可以聲稱你掌握了那些你實際并不掌握的技能。
Keep in mind this means taking a sizable risk and you shouldn't take it often. You don't want to claim to know JavaScript when you've never even learned the basics. That said, you can claim to know HTML and CSS if you've learned a little bit but not a lot. When you "lie" about a skill, you have to know you can acquire that skill quickly if needed by your employer. Don't apply for jobs that require certain primary abilities you don't have. You wouldn't want to try and get a job as a front-end developer with limited knowledge of HTML and CSS, for example. You might, however, promote that same limited knowledge to find work as a blogger (or any job where those skills help but aren't required). Although it's always better to just tell the truth, if you need to embellish your skill set you can safely, under these constraints.
不過要記住這么做意味著承擔一個巨大的風險，而且你不能總這么做。如果你甚至都沒學過JavaScript的基礎，你一定不會想要聲稱你懂得JavaScript。這也就是說，如果學過一點不多的HTML和CSS基礎，你就可以聲稱你懂。當你在一項技能上“說謊”時，你必須確保當雇主需要你這項技能時你可以迅速地把它學會。不要申請那些需要你不具備的基礎技能的工作。比如說，如果你對HTML和CSS只有很有限的知識，你一定不會想要申請一個前端開發(fā)人員的工作。然而，你或許能通過同樣這些很有限的知識獲得一份博客撰寫人的工作(或者任何一些用得上但并不是必須會用這些技能的職位)。雖然說真話總是最好的，但如果你想要修飾你的技能，在這樣的限定下修飾還是很安全的。
Spin Relevant Experience When You Have None
如果你沒有相關經(jīng)驗，就改造你現(xiàn)有的經(jīng)驗
The trick doesn't involve lying, but rather digging deep to find relevant experience you didn't really know you had. If you really want a job as a graphic designer but work as a receptionist, you can spin a lot of your experience to make it relevant. Perhaps you've created fliers, mailers, in-office posters, and so on. I worked as a customer service representative awhile back and found ways to make company videos, design posters, and even write code. If you want a different job, find ways to do the kind of work you want to do at your current job so you can claim it as experience on your resume. You still have to do the work assigned to you, but if you add a few other helpful tasks here and there your company should appreciate you for it.
這個竅門中并不包含說謊，倒不如說，是深層次地挖掘那些你并沒有意識到你擁有的相關經(jīng)驗。如果你真的很想找一份圖像設計師的工作，而你現(xiàn)在的工作卻是接待員，你可以把你的很多經(jīng)驗都改造成相關經(jīng)驗。或許你制作過傳單、信封或是辦公室海報等等。我曾經(jīng)做過一段時間的客戶服務代表，并學會了制作公司視頻、設計海報，甚至寫代碼。如果你想找一份不一樣的工作，想辦法在你現(xiàn)在的職位上找辦法做一些和你想找的工作相關的工作，這樣你就能將之作為一段經(jīng)驗寫在你的簡歷上。你仍然需要完成指派給你的那些任務，但是如果你在其他地方做些有用的工作，你的公司一定會很樂意接受的。
When you can't do something at a company, do it on your own time. Nobody can stop you from designing, writing, or whatever else after you clock out. When you have no relevant experience, you can always make some yourself. That might not get you an interview all by itself, but you can also try to meet someone from the company to give yourself a better chance. A simple email asking if you can take someone out to lunch to ask them for career advice can go a long way.
如果你不能在公司里做某些事，你就在自己的業(yè)余時間里做。沒有人能阻止你在下班后進行設計、寫作、或者做任何事情。當你沒有相關的經(jīng)驗時，你始終可以自己創(chuàng)造一些。這或許并不能給你帶來面試機會，但你卻可以借此認識公司里的一些人，為你創(chuàng)造更好的機會。簡單地發(fā)郵件邀請他們和你共進午餐同時尋求職業(yè)建議能為你帶來很多幫助。
Make the Best of What You've Got
把你獲得的成就寫得最好
In the end, you want to lie as little as possible but find ways to make what you have look as attractive as possible. That means embellishing your skill set a little, including the right jobs, and focusing on relevant experience—even if it didn't make up the majority of your work. If you just don't have a lot of work experience at all, seek out internships to get some. Just don't outright lie on your resume. That might get you an interview, but it probably won't get you a job.
最后，你還需要盡可能小地說些小謊，從而盡量讓你顯得更有吸引力。這就是說，小小地修飾一下你的技能，描述一些合適的經(jīng)驗，并關注于相關經(jīng)驗——即使它并不是你工作的主要部分。如果你根本就沒有足夠的工作經(jīng)驗，就去找些實習工作來積累。不要在簡歷上全盤瞎寫。那樣做或許能為你帶來面試機會，但或許不能為你帶來這份工作。
