比英文系毕业生还规范的英文简历该怎么写?

     

     英文语法和句式上的问题掠过,这里只说文字设计(typography)。

     

     简历是大多数人实践文字设计的最常见载体,人人都希望简历给人留下好印象,因此或多或少会高杰自己注意排版,问题在于具体注意些神恶魔。一下十条是英文简历制作的最基本规则,若能做到,你的英文简历已经比90%的中国人(包括英文系学生)的规范且美观了。


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。


错误示例: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.

正确示例: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。

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

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

四、将长串的数字分开写,降低辨识的难度。


错误示例:13927396856
正确示例:139 2739 6856 或 139-2739-6856

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

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

正确示例: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。


錯誤:+86-139-2739-6856
正確:(86) 139 2739 6856 或 (86) 139-2739-6856

七、对于有序列表,应采用阿拉伯数字+英文句号+半角空格的方式。

错误示例:

Three words I hate:

1.Innovation.
2, Leverage.
3 Synergy. 


正确示例:

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。

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

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

但同一个单词内的括号例外:

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

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

九、用弯引号,不要用直引号。

错误示例:"Bazinga!" 'You are pwned!'
正确示例:“Bazinga!” ‘You are pwned!’

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

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

正确示例: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 等文字处理软件会自动将其转为em dash。这是因为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。但在同一份简历中应保持統一。
