寫簡歷應注意避免以下幾點：
1、忌長句：沒有人愿意看太冗長的句子，而且切記YRIS(Your resume is scanned，not read)原則，雇主只是在掃描您的簡歷。
2、忌縮寫：因為外行人往往很難看懂。不要想當然地認為這是人所皆知的事情。
3、忌“I”我：因為正規簡歷多用點句，以動詞開頭，是沒有“我”的。當然若在公司簡介中一定要用到一兩次，也不是完全不可以。
4、忌不利因素：我們講過簡歷的原則是不要撒謊，但不寫不等于騙人。大家可能還記得前面提到過的“簡歷中的任何字句都可能成為面試中的話題。”揚長避短的道理，我想大家都是知道的。
5、忌“Reference available upon request”：這個短語的意思是如需證明，可提供見證人。這在許多英式、港式簡歷港文中經常出現，但是美式的簡歷則不要這樣寫。
