篇幅过短和过长
太多的人想把他们的经历压缩在一页纸上，因为他们曾经听说履历最好不要超过一页。当将履历格式化地缩到一页时，许多求职者就删除了他们给人深刻印象的成就。反之亦然。就拿那些在履历上用几页纸漫谈不相干的或者冗长的经历的候选人来说，看的人很容易就会觉得无聊。所以，当你写履历时，试着问自己：”这些陈述会让我得到面试的机会吗?”然后，仅仅保留那些会回答”是”的信息。
决定其篇幅的因素包括有职业、企业、工作经历、教育和造诣程度等等。最重要的就是，履历中的每一个字都要能够推销该候选人。
人称代词和冠词的用法
履历是商业沟通的形式，它应该是简洁和正式的，不应该出现“我”的字样，且尽量少用冠词。试看一例：
陈述：我已经开发了一种新的产品，它使销售额增加了200万，使部分销路总量增加了12%。
应该写成：新开发的产品使销售额增加了200万，使部分销路总量增加了12%。
