寫作簡歷時有一個大家經常犯的大錯誤，那就是"言過於實"。這一點尤其是畢業生一定要牢記，寫簡歷，不是寫小說，一定要實事求是。大家都想在簡歷中能夠儘可能地表現出自己的能力，讓自己能在眾多的求職者中脫穎而出，這一點無可厚非，但是過分地在簡歷中誇大只能適得其反，要記住，"白色的謊言"仍然是謊言。如果招聘單位發現你簡歷中誇大其詞，你將會被毫不猶豫地淘汰。
every year, i see resumes from students who try to "stretch the truth" in order to sound more desirable on paper. resume inflation. this lack of honesty, when discovered, becomes an instant knockout factor which disqualifies that person from further consideration. corporate recruiters are paid to screen people out, and the quickest and surest way to do so is when a "white lie" (it is still a lie, white or black) or exaggeration is found.
a recent graduate attempted to show experience in a computer language by placing it on his resume. it generated calls, but it also generated rejection letters when it became apparent that he did not really have a foundational understanding of the language. doors were shut (very hard, i might add) which could have otherwise been open to him.
remember, the resume is not a work of fiction. while it should emphasize the positive, it should never emphasize what does not exist.
