是的。说起来你简历里的花样还真是多呢，难怪这么厚一叠。其实在简历里你只要简单清楚地阐述出你的个人经历就好，通常一页纸就能搞定，最多两页，再多加一封推荐信或者推荐人的联系方式，太多太厚了老板们也没时间和兴趣去看的。

Yeah. And come to think of it, there are a lot of frills on your resume. No wonder it's so thick. Actually, you only need to simply and clearly describe your personal experience in a resume. Usually one page is enough to get the job done, or two pages at the most, plus a letter of recommendation or the contact info for someone who's recommending you. If there's too much stuff, bosses don't have the time or inclination to read it.

When I used to be really crazy about gaming, I even hired a person to help me win points, because I couldn't play games at work.
