4. Myth: In a crowded field, job seekers need to find creative ways to stand out.
谣言四：在拥挤的招聘会上，求职者要出奇招才能脱颖而出。
Fact: If you want to stand out, write a great cover letter and build a resume that demonstrates a track record of success in the area the employer is hiring for. Fancy designs, having your resume delivered by overnight mail, video resumes, and other gimmicks don’t make up for a lack of qualifications.
真相：如果你想脱颖而出的话，那就好好写一封求职信，再加上一份能充分展示你在所应聘领域的出色业绩的简历，这样就够了。做一些哗众取宠的事情，比如设定邮件隔夜送达，制作视频简历，还有其他一些小花招，这些手段都不足以掩饰你的能力不足。
5. Myth: Don’t bother job hunting around the holidays.
谣言五：逢年过节不招人
Fact: Lots of hiring gets done in December! In fact, some hiring managers are scrambling to fill positions before the new year. And you may even have less competition, since other job seekers may have slowed down their search at this time of year.
真相：很多应聘工作都是在12月完成的！事实上，有些人事经理不得不在年底前完成其招聘的指标。而在这个时候去求职，你可能会面对更少的竞争，因为其他求职者都在这个时候放慢了求职的步伐。
6. Myth: Your resume should only be one page.
谣言六：简历要写在一张纸上
Fact: At some point in the past, resumes were supposed to be limited to one page. But times have changed, and two-page resumes are common now. People with only a few years of experience should still stick to one page, but two pages are fine for everyone else.
真相：以前的确有这种说法：简历最好写在一张纸上。但现在时代变了，两页的简历已经很普遍了。不过，如果你只有几年的工作经验，你还是可以只写一张纸。但是，两页纸的简历对于其他人来说也未尝不可。
7. Myth: Lowering your salary expectations will make you a more attractive candidate.
谣言七：降低薪资要求会让你更有竞争力。
Fact: Employers are going to hire the best person for the job, within the limits of what they can afford. They aren’t likely to prefer someone else just because he or she comes cheaper.
真相：雇主想要的是能在他们支付范围内的最适合的人才。他们不会仅仅因为应聘者开出的薪资低就录用他们的。
