William: You think that's too 1)long-winded?
Nancy: Definitely. The experts say a résumé should be two pages 2)max. Shorter is even better.
William:But I don't know what to cut out. It's all important.
Nancy: Don't mention the awards you received in high school. That was 3)ages ago.
Nancy: Now, what about your 4)cover letter?
William: I'm not sure what to say in it.
Nancy: A cover letter is like an introduction, a first impression. There's a saying, "You never get a second chance to make a first impression."
William: How do I do that? Lie?
Nancy: No, you should never lie on a résumé or cover letter. You don't have to knock their socks off, just impress them.
William: That's easier said than done.
威廉：妳覺得太囉唆了嗎？
南茜：是啊。專家說履歷應該頂多兩頁。短一點更好。
威廉：可是我不知道要刪什麼。每個都很重要。
南茜：別提你在高中拿的獎項。那已經很久了。
南茜：還有，你的應職信呢？
威廉：我不知道要寫什麼。
南茜：應職信就像是自我介紹，第一印象。有句話說：「給人第一印象沒有第二次機會。」
威廉：我要怎麼做？說謊嗎？
南茜：不是，你千萬不可以在履歷或應職信上作假。你不用讓他們驚豔，只要讓他們有好感即可。威廉：說得倒是容易。 |
