永遠(yuǎn)不要說“從未”，要經(jīng)常提起自己曾經(jīng)取得的成就，這是專家們給填寫應(yīng)聘申請表的求職者的忠告。

赫特福德大學(xué)招生顧問和心理學(xué)家列出應(yīng)聘表中能給人留下好印象的前10個(gè)單詞。

同時(shí)，他們還列出了10個(gè)最差的單詞，其中包括“憎恨，討厭”和“什么也沒有”。

忠告還提醒求職者不要說自己曾經(jīng)犯過什么“錯(cuò)誤”，而要說自己曾有過“寶貴的經(jīng)驗(yàn)教訓(xùn)”。

如果求職者擔(dān)心自己“寶貴教訓(xùn)”太多的話，赫特福德大學(xué)的研究者們還建議大家盡量不要使用那些不太積極的詞，例如：恐慌、問題和可怕的。

這些單詞都不是向招聘人員顯示自己技能的好辦法。

如果你想更積極主動(dòng)一點(diǎn)的話，一些求職中讓人感覺良好的單詞會(huì)使你的應(yīng)聘材料更吸引人。

這些單詞包括：“經(jīng)驗(yàn)”、“參與”、“計(jì)劃”和“開發(fā)”。

赫特福德大學(xué)的招生顧問說公司和大學(xué)都會(huì)收到很多類似的求職信，語言的選擇會(huì)產(chǎn)生積極或消極的印象。

例如，一些過分強(qiáng)調(diào)的單詞，如“從未”和“始終”會(huì)給人一種消極的印象，感覺“應(yīng)聘者有點(diǎn)夸張，不夠真實(shí)”。

“每一個(gè)招聘專員和負(fù)責(zé)招聘的工作人員都會(huì)接觸到少說也有幾百份求職者的自薦信，多的有幾千份，他們往往根據(jù)自薦信上看到的內(nèi)容來做決定?！?/p>

“因此，如果你的應(yīng)聘材料想要脫穎而出的話，選擇適當(dāng)?shù)膯卧~非常重要，”赫特福德大學(xué)的心理學(xué)家卡倫·佩恩說。

Never say "never" but always mention your "achievement", is the advice for job hunters trying to fill in application forms.

Admissions advisers and psychologists at the University of Hertfordshire have drawn up a list of the 10 top words to make a good impression in applications.

They have also listed the 10 worst words, including "hate" and "nothing".

This advice also tells applicants not to say "mistakes" but to mention their "valuable lessons".

If applicants are worried about having too many valuable lessons, the Hertfordshire academics also recommend avoiding other less than positive words, such as "panic", "problems" and "awful".

None of these words are good ways of selling your skills to employers.

If you want to push more positive buttons, there is a list of feel-good words for applications, which will produce a more appreciative reaction.

These good words include "experience", "involved", "planning" and "developed".

The advisers say companies or universities will see many similar application letters - and that the choice of language generates a positive or negative impression.

For instance, over-emphatic words such as "never" and "always" could give a negative impression that "the applicant is making an exaggeration which is seldom true".

"Every recruiter and admissions officer will have to assess hundreds if not thousands of personal statements from hopeful applicants and will make their decisions based on what they can see on paper.

"Choosing the right words is therefore vitally important if your application is to stand out from the rest," says Karen Pine, a psychologist at the University of Hertfordshire.

Vocabulary:

draw up: draw up the plans or basic details for; frame,compose（第一流的；最高的；頂好的）

appreciative : having or showing appreciation or a favorable critical judgment or opinion（贊賞的）
