这就是好不容易精简到三页纸

This is it. It was really difficult to cut down to three pages.
三页太多了一个热门岗位会收到成百上千份简历HR根本没功夫仔细看最好只用一页
sān 三yè 页tài 太duō 多le 了yī 一gè 个rèmén 热门gǎngwèi 岗位huì 会shōudào 收到chéngbǎishàngqiān 成百上千fèn 份jiǎnlì 简历HR HRgēnběn 根本méi 没gōngfu 功夫zǐxì 仔细kàn 看zuì hǎo 最好zhǐ 只yòng 用yī 一yè 页
Three pages is too much. A really popular position can receive hundreds and hundreds of resumes. HR definitely doesn't have the time to look closely at every single one! Ideally you should only have one page.
