Every week hundreds of CVs(简历) land on our desks. We've seen it all: CVs printed on pink paper, CVs that are 10 pages long and CVs with silly mistakes in the first paragraph. A good CV is your passport to an interview and ,ultimately , to the job you want Initial impressions are vital, and a badly presented CV could mean rejection(被拒), regardless of what's in it. Here are a few ways to avoid ending up on the reject pile. Print your CV on good-quality white paper. CVs with flowery backgrounds or pink paper will stand out for all the wrong reasons.Get someone to check for spelling and grammatical errors, because a spell-checker(拼写检查程序) will not pick up every mistake. CVs with errors will be rejected-it shows that you don't pay attention to detail. Restrict your self to one or two pages, and list any publications or referees on a separate sheet. If you are sending your CV electronically, check the formatting by sending it to yourself first.Keep the format simple. Do not send a photo unless specifically requested. If you have to send on ,make sure that it is one taking in a professional setting, rather than a holiday snap. Getting the presentation right is just the first step. What about the content? The Rule here is to keep it factual and truthful-exaggerations usually get found out. And remember to tailor your CV to each different job.
