透视企业家是一个在线社区，美国创业界最睿智、最有影响力的一些大咖会在这里及时回答与创业和职业有关的问题。今天的问题是：求职简历里最应突出哪三个要点？回答者是社交应用OurPlan的联合创始人兼首席执行官斯塔夫•魏斯曼。

大部分用人机构筛选求职简历时，都会看重应聘者的硬性技能和教育背景，但一份优秀的简历总要有些出彩的地方。这里的出彩可不是列举工作经历和文凭证书。就算你工作经历尚浅，也没有常春藤名校的学位加身，但如果你能多列举实际案例，展现利用经验发挥自身长处的能力，一样可以脱颖而出。

至于如何让简历出彩，以下有三个小技巧分享：

用自己的语言组织内容

别像人力资源一样公事公办地描述工作经历，要用自己的语言介绍。把你过去和现在的工作讲得生动点。

如果招聘的上级并不熟悉你目前工作的领域，这点就特别重要。用口语化的语言生动又不失专业地介绍，多用短句，用陈述句式。措辞应该表现你的聪明才智，字里行间仿佛在与未来上司的面对面谈话。

我收到过一份非常出彩的简历，求职者的工作经历乏善可陈。但她没有像人力资源一样乏味地介绍，而是讲述了她上学和工作中的故事，向我迅速了解她是怎样一个人。虽然当时她并未达到招聘岗位的要求，我也相信她会适合我们的团队。于是我请了她，不久她就升到了管理岗位。后来她告诉我，她为简历打了十份草稿，求职信也写了十稿。

多写细节

介绍每份之前的工作都应该多写几句，越多越好。不要草草一两句话概括曾经和现在的工作。作为招聘者，我希望知道你日常做什么工作，你在工作中如何应对挑战发挥长处；还想了解你的失败、成功和解决问题的能力。不管职位多低，也不要羞于分享你遇到的挑战。如果你想说清楚个人、社交和专业能力如何在工作中成长，就要坦诚直白地分享细节。

请记住，充满创造力的作家告诉我们：要展示，不要告知。和例行公事的陈述相比，讲述你在工作中汲取教训的故事会加深我对你的了解。你应该认真回顾工作中碰到最棘手的困难，以及最终你如何克服。

表现出你做过功课

如果说内容是简历的灵魂，那么你必须在简历的开篇、内容组织甚至未来的上司都要花一点心思做功课。应该通过简历让未来的老板看到，你对招聘的岗位和应聘的公司都花了不少时间。如果某段过往经历跟应聘职位无关，就不必浪费时间提及。此外，你要表现出对应聘职位要求的语言风格、行业术语和具体要求都有所了解。

所有这些技巧都是帮你更好地描述工作经历，显示出你是适合职位的理想人选。各项细节应该分别列在教育背景、工作经历、业余活动或者志愿者活动等等条目下。不要干列经历。要通过文字表述、细节、趣事、甚至简短的故事来呈现，而不是列份清单完事。用你自己的话介绍，各项经历如何体现你的学识、技能和品质。用细节体现出你的经历和求职的工作岗位有什么关联。即便简历中的工作经历很短，教育背景也没什么亮点，但只要能充分展现个人潜力，你一定能吸引招聘经理的目光。（财富中文网）

The Entrepreneur Insiders network is an online community where the most thoughtful and influential people in America’s startup scene contribute answers to timely questions about entrepreneurship and careers. Today’s answer to the question, “What are the top three things you look for on a resume?” is written by Stav Vaisman, co-founder and CEO of OurPlan.

Most of the people who read your resume will focus on hard skills and education, but a great resume also comes from great content. And, great content is more than a listing of your work experience and academic credentials. So even if your work experience is scant and you lack an Ivy League degree to present as resume bait, you can stand out by showing how you used your experience to showcase and develop their strengths.

Here are my three tips for producing great resume content:

Write in your own words

Avoid the bland language used by your human resources department to describe your past and current positions. Instead, write about your work experience in your own words. Describe your past and current positions in a compelling way.

This is particularly important if your position is in a field unfamiliar to your prospective boss. Write in a conversational, lively, yet professional tone. Use short, declarative sentences. Your writing should sound a lot like how you would talk during an interview if you were trying to charm your future boss with your intelligence and wit.

One of the best resumes I ever received came from an applicant whose professional experience was meager, at best. But she avoided bland HR language, and instead told me stories about her academic and work experience that showed me who she was as a person. Even though she was under-qualified, I knew immediately that she would be a great teammate. I hired her, and she quickly advanced into a management position. She later told me she wrote 10 drafts of her resume—just as many as she spent on her cover letter.

Details, please

Each position should be described with at least several sentences, preferably more. Don’t just provide a one- or two-sentence description of your past and current positions. I want to know what you did on a daily basis. I want to know how your work experience presented the challenges that reveal your strengths. I want to know about your failures, successes, and capacity to solve problems. Don’t be shy to share the details of challenges you encountered at a menial position. Your ability to tell me specifically how you grew personally, socially, and professionally from your work experience demands a frank and honest sharing of details.

Remember the lesson for creative writers: Show, don’t tell. A position that is described with a story about what you learned from the position tells me a lot more than a routine description. Your details should recount the greatest difficulties you faced on the job and how you overcame them.

Show your research

If content is king for a resume, you must do a bit of research about the opening, the organization, and even your future boss. Your resume should show your future boss that you have taken the time to learn as much as you can about the opening and the organization. Don’t describe your past experience without showing how that experience can be applied to the position. You should know the language, terminology, and requirements of the position for which you are applying.

All of these tips relate specifically to how you describe the experiences that make you an ideal applicant for the position. These descriptions should be placed underneath each listing under the academic, work, extracurricular, or volunteer sections of your resume. Don’t just provide a list of items. Your experience must be shown through words, details, anecdotes, and even a brief story, not a list. Show me, in your own words, how these experiences reveal your knowledge, skills, and traits. Show me, with details, how your experience relates to the position. Even if your resume is short on work experience and academic bragging points, if it’s rich with content that reveals your potential, you’ll be sure to catch the hiring manager’s eye.
