New research shows that the average time for bosses to read resumes is only 3 minutes, and one fifth of them make a choice for job seekers within 1 minute. Through the survey, it is found that many interviewers claim to have excellent written communication skills, but many people have cliches in their resumes. And in these stupid mistakes, they also narrowed their chances of success in job hunting.
For example, the following three points:
1. there will be typos or grammatical errors in English resumes, especially incorrect use of there, their and their? Re and misuse you and you? about
2. For example, the casual tone used in e-mail communication? You guys? Or at the end of the email to the future employer? Here's to health. Cheers, and let employers think that you are sloppy on your resume;
3. Use terms and cliches, such as? Think outside the box? And listed perfectionism as his weakness.
The following are the ten most annoying pets: (the most annoying one on your resume is 10)
1. Typing errors and grammatical errors (spelling and grammatical errors)
2. Excessive leisure tone (excessive leisure tone)
3. Use jargon and cliches? (Use jargon or cliche)
4. Resume length exceeds two pages (resume length exceeds two pages)
5. Fashionable borders and backgrounds (tacky borders and backgrounds)
6. Writing in the third person (writing in the third person)
7. Include clip art or emoji (including clip art or emoji)
8. Use of embarrassing quotations.
9. Non-professional email address (non-professional email address)
10. Unconventional font (Unconventional font)
Research shows that in terms of cliches, nearly half of people will describe themselves as? Good at working independently? , the third said himself? Have team spirit?
Employers who use these phrases will also be disgusted with job seekers:
1. Can work independently
2. People who work hard
3. Work well under pressure
4. Excellent communicator (good at communication)
5. Enthusiasm (full of passion)
6. Team player (with team spirit)
7. Good Audience (Good Audience)
8. Excellent written communication skills (excellent written communication skills)
9. Proactive
10. Problem solver (good at solving problems)
Research shows that one in ten job seekers claims that they were creative in their previous jobs and companies, and 5% lied about their previous positions and references. Women are more likely to lie about their hobbies, and the number of women who do so is nearly twice that of men. These mistakes in resumes may explain why one-third of people applied for five jobs but didn't respond to any of them, and why one-tenth of people applied for more than 50 jobs and still haven't heard from them.
