1.How flashy your resume is 你的簡歷有多花俏

Having a flashy resume is less important than having one that's easy for employers to read. Even in creative fields, 78% of executives said they preferred traditional resumes.

有一個華麗的簡歷不如一個讓雇主容易讀懂的簡歷更重要。即使是在創新型領域，也有78%的主管表示，他們更喜歡傳統的簡歷。

2.How clever your cover letter is 你的求職信寫得有多出色

Although ditching the stale cover letter jargon is a good thing, your cover letter doesn't need to break new creative ground, either. Use your cover letter to show why you're a great fit for the position, be professional, and be concise .

雖然拋棄陳腐的求職信術語是一件好事，但你的求職信也沒必要標新立異。你的求職信要做到的是專業、精確並展示出你為什麼適合這個崗位。

3.Your GPA 你的GPA（平均績點）

In a 2016 survey conducted by the National Association of Colleges and Employers, having a high GPA only moderately influenced a company's decision to hire a new grad. More important was your major and whether you had leadership experience.

全美高校和雇主協會2016年的調查顯示，高GPA對公司決定僱傭應屆畢業生的影響平平。更重要的是你的專業和你是否擁有領導經驗。

4.Your summer jobs 你的暑期工作

Lying on your resume is a bad idea, but that doesn't mean you have to include details of every job you've ever had. Leaving off short-term gigs, jobs that aren't relevant to the position to which you're applying, and the part-time job you had in college is perfectly fine.

寫簡歷時不基於事實是不好的，但也並不意味著你要把你的每一段工作都一五一十地寫下來。短期的臨時工、和你要申請的職位無關的工作、大學期間的兼職都是可以省略掉的。

5.Where you went to college 你在哪上的大學

When it comes to higher education, what you studied is more important than where you earned your degree, the survey found.

調查顯示，對於高等教育而言，你學了什麼比你在哪裡獲得的學位更重要。

6.Whether you studied abroad 你是否有出國留學經歷

Having studied abroad had hardly any influence on an employer's decision to offer a recent grad a job, according to the National Association of Colleges and Employers survey. In fact, it mattered less than any other factor.

全美高校和雇主協會的調查顯示，有出國留學經歷對雇主是否錄用應屆畢業生的影響很小。實際上，相比較而言，是否留學是最不重要的一個因素。

7.Minor interview mistakes 面試中的小失誤

Even the most prepared job seekers occasionally make interview mistakes. Although interview blunders may be embarrassing, candidates who can quickly recover might actually turn an awkward moment into a time to shine.

就算是準備再充分的求職者，他在面試時也會偶爾犯一些小錯誤。雖然面試錯誤可能有點丟臉，但是能迅速調整回狀態的應試者，可能會把尷尬化為展示自己的機會。

8.If your resume is 2 pages 你的簡歷有兩頁

It's true people in the early stages of their career should probably keep their resume to one page, if possible. But as you gain experience and pile up accomplishments, you might need an extra page to fit it all in. That's OK. Just remember to keep your resume focused.

確實，求職新手如果可能的話，最好把簡歷控制在一頁。但是隨著你經驗和成就的積累，你可能需要再加一頁來展示你自己。這樣是可以的。只要確保你的簡歷突出重點就可以。

9.Whether your cover letter is addressed to a specific person 你的求職信是否有具體的收件人

Obviously, if a name is mentioned in the job advertisement, use it. But if it's not immediately obvious who will be reading your letter, the generic approach is acceptable.

很顯然，如果招聘信息中有提到具體姓名，你就可以直接使用。但是如果不確定誰會讀到你的求職信，籠統的稱呼也是可以的。

10.How you send your thank-you note 怎樣發送感謝信

Sending a thank-you note is important, but whether you send an old-fashioned handwritten note or a quick email doesn't matter as much. With so many candidates not bothering with notes as all, any kind of thank you will make you stand out.

表示感謝是很重要的，但是選擇傳統手寫信還是電子郵件就不重要了。在那麼多不發感謝信的求職者中，任何形式的感謝都足以讓你脫穎而出。
