在竞争激烈的现代社会里,写好个人简历是求职的一个重要手段。一般说来,简历是有关个人情况的简述,要求包括与所申请职业有关的所有细节。写英文简历没有一定的格式,你可以根据自己的实际情况来设计各部分的标题,但写英文简历需要注意哪些问题，你知道吗？

写英文简历需要注意哪些问题

一、标点符号一律使用半角。

二、逗号、句号、分号、冒号、感叹号、问号和它们后面的字符之间必须留一个半角空格。

错误：Hi,I‘m an entrepreneur.Can you make this app for me for free?Because,you know,I have this brilliant idea but I don’t know how to code.

正确：Hi, I‘m an entrepreneur. Can you make this app for me for free? Because, you know, I have this brilliant idea but I don’t know how to code.

三、逗号、句号、分号、冒号、感叹号、问号和它们前面的字符之间不可留任何空格。

错误：I think our current version is too skeuomorphic ,why don‘t we ,uh ,make it flatter so that it looks more metro-ish?

正确：I think our current version is too skeuomorphic, why don’t we, uh, make it flatter so that it looks more metro-ish?

四、将长串数字分开写，降低辨识的难度。

错误：13927396856

正确：139 2739 6856 或 139-2739-6856

五、书名、杂志名、电影名、音乐专辑名、英文中出现的外文(包括拼音，人名除外)用斜体。

错误：In 2008, I created this amazing service during my internship at Playboy which is totally LBS avant la lettre.

正确：In 2008, I created this amazing service during my internship at Playboy which is totally LBS avant la lettre.

六、对于电话区号应用不同的符号区分。

错误：+86-139-2739-6856

正确：(86) 139 2739 6856 或 (86) 139-2739-6856

七、对于有序列表，应采用「阿拉伯数字 + 英文句点 + 半角空格」的方式。

错误：

Three words I hate:

1.Innovation.

2, Leverage.

3 Synergy.

正确：

Three words I hate:

1. Innovation.

2. Leverage.

3. Synergy.

八、括号弧线外要留空格，弧线内不要。

错误：Byte Press(née Tangcha ) is the best Chinese-language eBook app. Period.

正确：Byte Press (née Tangcha) is the best Chinese-language eBook app. Period.

但同一个单词内的括号例外：

错误：After the linguistic turn, people are getting addicted to pretentious bracketed words such as ‘(ex) plain (ed)’.

正确：After the linguistic turn, people are getting addicted to pretentious bracketed words such as ‘(ex)plain(ed)’.

九、用弯引号，不要用直(的弯)引号。

错误：“Bazinga!” ‘You are pwned!’

正确：“Bazinga!” ‘You are pwned!’

十、正确使用各种短横：em dash (—) 是破折号，en dash (–) 用来连接年份、时间，是「到」的意思，hyphen (-) 是连字符。

错误：Glenn Gould (1932-1982) is probably my one and only hero - the person who taught me to think differently well before Steve Jobs.

正确：Glenn Gould (1932–1982) is probably my one and only hero — the person who taught me to think differently well before Steve Jobs.

注意：

1. 若写作时用两个 hyphen (--) 代替破折号，Word 等文书处理软件会自动将其转为 em dash。有鉴于 em dash 输入不便(Mac 上是 shift + option + -)，这也是英文写作通用的替代法。

2. 破折号(em dash)两端可各留一半角空格，亦可不留。此乃英美习惯之不同，无对错之分。惟请在同一份简历中保持统一。
