驱逐陈词滥调让你的简历被一眼相中

In this dismal job market, a resume that stands out from the crowd can make the difference between getting hired -- or at least making it to the interview stage -- and getting nowhere. The secret to a CV that will give you a fighting chance: Learn to replace tired old words and phrases with what Rob McGovern calls "accomplishment-speak."

如今，就业市场惨淡。求职者是淹没在竞争者的汪洋大海之中，还是赢得面试机会，甚至最终被录用，可能就取决于简历能否脱颖而出。要想获得放手一搏的机会，一份精彩的简历必不可少，秘诀在于：摒弃陈词滥调，取而代之以罗伯•麦戈文所提倡的“成就型语言”。

Founder and CEO of job networking site Jobfox, McGovern sees thousands of resumes every month and, along with his team, gets paid to rewrite them. "The most common mistake job hunters make is defining themselves by a role or title, instead of telling what they actually did, " he says.

作为求职社交网站Jobfox的创始人和CEO，麦戈文每月要阅读几千份简历，他的团队专门为付费的求职者修改简历。他说：“求职者最常见的错误就是用简单的工作职位或头衔来描述自己，而忽视了对实际工作成绩的介绍。”

What's the difference? "It's one thing to identify yourself as a software programmer, period, and quite another to say, 'Developed a program with 60% fewer bugs that was adopted three times faster by customers than the previous version, '" McGovern says. The latter language "gives prospective employers a clear picture of what you can do for them."
