A job applicant walks into a bar: How to write the perfect CV
一位求职者走进酒吧：怎样写出完美简历
Imagine meeting a stranger at a party. What makes for a successful encounter?
想象一下在派对上遇到一个陌生人。什么可以带来一场成功的邂逅？
Lesson one is to heed the wisdom of a shampoo commercial from the 1980s: you never get a second chance to make a first impression.
第一条经验就是要听从20世纪80年代一则洗发水广告的智慧：你永远不会有第二次机会去给人留下第一印象。
Lesson two is to remember that you do not need to wear a beret or a fur stole in order to stand out. Lesson three is not to forget that what you leave out matters as much as what you say.
第二条经验是要记住，你不需要戴上贝雷帽或皮草披肩才能脱颖而出。第三条经验是不要忘记，你没说的内容和你说出来的内容一样重要。
These same principles, it turns out, apply to writing a CV.
事实证明，这些相同的原则也适用于写简历。
A resume is not a list of every job you ever had. It is not your autobiography. It is, like that hair-care advert, a marketing tool. Your audience is made up of recruiters and hiring managers.
简历不是把你曾经做过的每一份工作都罗列出来。它不是你的自传。简历就像那个洗发水广告一样，是一种营销工具。你的听众是由招聘人员和招聘经理组成的。
Like cocktail-party guests, they do not take a long time to decide if they want to keep talking. According to one study, such professionals spend an average of 7.4 seconds skimming a job application.
就像鸡尾酒会上的客人一样，他们不会花很长时间来决定是否要继续和某人交谈。根据一项研究，这些专业人士平均花费7.4秒浏览一份工作申请。
Your guest Bartleby has a few tips on how best to ensure that these seconds count. The CV's number-one task is not to put the reader off. If you are thinking of adding a watermark with your initials, think again; you are trying too hard.
本专栏作者有一些小贴士，教你如何最好地确保这几秒是有价值的。简历的首要任务是不要让读者反感。如果你想加上你的姓名首字母作为水印，请三思，这样太刻意了。
Use a clean, simple format and avoid fancy fonts (Arial or Helvetica are fine; Century Gothic is not). Adding colour does not mean using a teal background. Nor does it mean using purple prose. Cliches can be a reason you are passed over for an interview.
使用干净、简单的格式，避免使用花哨的字体（Arial或Helvetica都可以，Century Gothic就不行）。添加色彩并不意味着使用蓝绿色背景，也不意味着使用华而不实的词语。俗套可能是挑选面试人员的时候跳过你的一个原因。
So can typos; spell-check and proofread over and over. You would be surprised how often someone forgets to include their name and contact details.
拼写错误也可能是一个原因，所以请反复进行拼写检查和校对。你会惊讶于人们忘记把姓名和联系方式写上去的频率有多高。
Dispense with hackneyed descriptors ("cultivated and passionate professional", "a keen eye for detail")-facts should speak for themselves.
摒弃老套的描述（"修养深厚且充满热情的专业人士""对细节有敏锐的洞察力"），事实应该不言自明。
But not all facts. You may think including your ranking on "Overwatch" is a quirky way to illustrate how quick you are on your feet.
但不是所有事实都要提及。你可能认为，在简历中写上你在《守望先锋》游戏中的排名是一种说明你反应有多快的奇特方式。
A recruiter may conclude that it shows you spend hours on the sofa tethered to a gaming console.
但招聘人员可能会得出结论，这表明你好几个小时都坐在沙发上，绑在游戏机上打游戏。
Do not hammer your CV out in an hour--take your time to polish it. Condense, filter and distil until what you are left with captures the essence of you.
不要在一个小时内匆忙完成简历，花点时间润色一下。浓缩、过滤、提炼，直到留下的东西捕捉到了你的精华部分。
Anyone's CV can fit on a page, even if you have held residencies in the world's eight top hospitals or are Christine Lagarde. Forget the personal statement--no one has time for that.
即使你在世界排名前八的医院实习过，或者你是欧洲中央银行行长克里斯蒂娜·拉加德，一张纸都足够写下你的简历。忘记个人陈述吧，没人有时间看那个。
If you spent three weeks in the summer when you were 17 keeping the books in your uncle's hardware store, no one needs to know that if you are now over the age of 25. The older you get, the more you should prioritise work experience over education.
如果你在17岁那年夏天花了三周时间在你叔叔的五金店里记账，那么如果你现在超过25岁，就没有人需要知道这件事了。年纪越大，你就越应该把工作经历放在教育经历之前。
