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：

8. False information. 信息虚假

"Putting [that you have] a B.S. on a résumé when you do not have one is 'BS,'" jokes Stephen Viscusi, author of "On the Job: How to Make it in the Real World of Work." Not only is lying on a résumé unfair and dishonest, it's also not very intelligent. "Companies verify dates of employment -- often after you start. If you have lied, they fire you...Nobody wants to hire a liar³. Nobody." “如果没有学士学位而在简历上写有，那就是胡扯，”Stephen Viscusi说。他是《On the Job: How to Make it in the Real World of Work（关于工作：如何在现实世界中成功）》一书的作者。 在简历上撒谎不但违背公平、诚实的原则而且这么做实在不怎么聪明。“你一开始上班，公司就会查证。如果你撒了谎，那么就会被解雇……谁也不愿意雇用一个骗子，没人愿意的。“

9. Unexplained gaps in work history. 简历上的“空白时段”

While job seekers should account for these gaps, they should be careful with their wording. "One of the weirdest⁵ things that I ever saw on a résumé ... was a candidate who explained a 10-year lapse⁶ in work experience as being in jail during those years for killing⁷ her husband," recalls Linda Goodspeed, marketing⁸ recruiting manager at VistaPrint. In such a situation, she says, the best thing to write would be "left work for personal reasons," and the candidate would be able to explain the criminal record later. 解释这些“空白时段”是求职者的义务，但是措辞可要小心。VistaPrint公司市场经营招聘经理Linda Goodspeed回忆道：“我见过的简历中最奇怪的一份是，应聘者对工作经历一栏中10年没有工作的解释是因为杀死丈夫而坐牢10年”。她说，这种情况下最好是写“个人原因离职”，应聘者将来可以再解释。

10. A lack of professionalism. 不够职业化

Colored paper, cutesy fonts, links to personal websites and childish e-mail addresses all scream unprofessional and are a turn off to hiring managers. One otherwise qualified⁹ applicant¹⁰ didn't get an interview at Bandujo's firm solely¹¹ because of the name in her email address: "weird2themax." "I recognize the advertising¹² industry is full of talented, interesting 'characters'," Bandujo says, "but did I really want one who thought she was weird⁴ to the max?" No, he decided¹³, he did not. 彩色简历、花哨的字体、个人网站连接、天真的电子邮件地址都给人一种强烈的、不够职业化的感觉，让招聘经理失去兴趣。一位本来够资格的应聘者由于电子邮件的名字是“weird2themax（古怪到了极点）"未能获得Bandujo的公司的面试机会。Bandujo说："我认为广告行业充满了才华横溢、妙趣横生的‘人物’，难道我真的需要一位‘古怪到极点’的人吗？”不，他决定不需要。
