When Tina Nicolai began working as a recruiter for Walt Disney World in the late 1990s, she noticed that many job seekers were submitting flawed résumés. "I realized people simply did not know how to market themselves or their achievements," Nicolai tells Business Insider. "And that's how I knew there was a market to educate job candidates at all levels and in all industries."

　　In 2010 she founded Résumé Writer'sInk. "Since launching my company, I've read over 40,000 résumés," she says. "And this is the what most people get wrong. They think a "buffet résumé" is the best way to go. Nicolai says a buffet résumé is one that have too much going on...one that make too much information.

　　"My clients often think a résumé that is a smorgasbord is best because it demonstrates the bandwidth of skills, experiences, and achievements that they have in their repertoire of success.'' she says. "But this is a recipe for getting overlooked."

　　Nicolai says hiring managers do not have time to sift through you résumé, picking out what is directly related to the job opening. "A résumé is like a wardrobe. Just because a person has everything from casual to formal doesn't mean they wear all of those pieces together," she explains. "We dress according to where we're going, the activity we're doing, and the climate ― but we don't wear it all at once."

　　Only include information that's relevant to the job you're applying for. And yes, this means you need to tailor your résumé for each job application. Don't be lazy!

　　答案与解析

　　1.【答案】A。解析：词义猜测题。根据上下文语境，简历包含了所有的技能、经验、以及他们的所有成就，故，repertoire应该与collection相近，表示"全部的成功"。

　　2.【答案】A。解析：细节题。根据smorgasbord定位到第三段，可知，smorgasbord resume包含了所有的技能、经验以及求职者的所有成就，故这种简历包含了一切，故A为本题答案。

　　3.【答案】B。解析：语义理解题。根据后文可知Nicolai认为简历没有必要把所有的信息都包括了，并且第四段开头说人事经理没有时间从你的简历中筛选信息，他们只关注与所应聘职位相关的信息，故把所有的信息都写在简历上，将会分散阅览简历人的注意力。

　　4.【答案】D。解析：细节题。根据三、四两段可知，应聘者不应该把所有信息都放在简历上，根据第四段后三句，写简历就像给自己穿衣服，去什么场合就该穿什么衣服，故面试什么岗位，就该写什么样的简历，因此D项"为每个职位量身定制简历"表述符合句意。

　　5.【答案】B。解析：推断题。申请的职位是销售经理，故A. 有领导经验，可以加入;C. 展示销售业绩，可以加入;D. 销售助理的实习经历，可以加入。只有B. 取得最佳辩手奖，与销售经理无关，故答案为B。
