Job seekers do themselves a disservice when they send out résumés with more information than they need. Most employers don't have the time or patience to sift¹ through the irrelevant² details. Here are 10 things your résumé could do without:

求职者在简历中包含过量的信息是在给自己帮倒忙。多数雇主都没有时间和耐性在无关的细节中寻找答案。以下是简历中要避免的一些内容：

5. Details of every task you've ever performed in every job you've ever had. 以往工作中的各个细节

"It's too much information. Managers and recruiters need to know at-a-glance what makes a candidate special," Flagg says. Focus on those details that pertain³ to the job for which you're applying. Flagg 认为“这样做会导致信息过量。经理和招聘人员需要扫一眼就发现应聘者的特别之处。”把重心放在和应聘的工作有关的细节上。

6. Excessive bragging⁴. 过分吹嘘

Stating one's accomplishments⁵ can be helpful, but when it's overdone⁶, the candidate can come across as narcissistic⁷, a huge turnoff for employers, Flagg says. Flagg说列举所取得的成绩是会有用，但是如果做得过分，会给招聘人员留下“自我陶醉”的印象。这会让雇主很扫兴。

7. Outdated⁸ information. 信息过时

Leave off the activities that you did in high school if graduation was a few years ago and omit jobs you held 10 or more years ago, as the information is probably irrelevant to the position you're trying for now. 如果你已经毕业好几年了，简历中就不要包含高中时的信息。十年前的工作也不要写了，因为这些信息很可能和你当前申请的职位无关。
