英文语法和句式上的问题可以忽略，那属于英文写作。（但不是说不重要）这里只说文字设计（typography），虽然高级的文字设计和内容从来密不可分。
一、标点符号一律使用半角。
二、逗号、句号、分号、冒号、感叹号、问号和它们后面的字符之间必须留一个半角空格。
错误：Hi,I'm an entrepreneur.Can you make this app for me for free?Because,you know,I have this brilliant idea but I don't know how to code.
正确：Hi, I'm an entrepreneur. Can you make this app for me for free? Because, you know, I have this brilliant idea but I don't know how to code.
三、逗号、句号、分号、冒号、感叹号、问号和它们前面的字符之间不可留任何空格。
错误：I think our current version is too skeuomorphic ,why don't we ,uh ,make it flatter so that it looks more metro-ish?
正确：I think our current version is too skeuomorphic, why don't we, uh, make it flatter so that it looks more metro-ish?
四、将长串数字分开写，降低辨识的难度。
错误：1234567890
正确：123 456 7890 或 123-456-7890
五、书名、杂志名、电影名、音乐专辑名、英文中出现的外文（包括拼音，人名除外）用斜体。
错误：In 2008, I created this amazing service during my internship at Playboy which is totally LBS avant la lettre.
正确：In 2008, I created this amazing service during my internship at Playboy which is totally LBS avant la lettre.
六、对于有序列表，应采用“阿拉伯数字 + 英文句点 + 半角空格”的方式。
错误：
Three words I hate:
1.Innovation.
2, Leverage.
3 Synergy.
正确：
Three words I hate:
1. Innovation.
2. Leverage.
3. Synergy.
七、括号弧线外要留空格，弧线内不要。
错误：Byte Press(née Tangcha ) is the best Chinese-language eBook app. Period.
正确：Byte Press (née Tangcha) is the best Chinese-language eBook app. Period.
八、用弯引号，不要用直（的弯）引号。
错误："Bazinga!" 'You are pwned!'
正确：“Bazinga!” ‘You are pwned!’
九、正确使用各种短横：em dash (—) 是破折号，en dash (–) 用来连接年份、时间，是“到”的意思，hyphen (-) 是连字符。
错误：Glenn Gould (1932-1982) is probably my one and only hero - the person who taught me to think differently well before Steve Jobs.
正确：Glenn Gould (1932–1982) is probably my one and only hero — the person who taught me to think differently well before Steve Jobs.
注意：
1. 若写作时用两个 hyphen (--) 代替破折号，Word 等文书处理软件会自动将其转为 em dash。鉴于 em dash 输入不便（Mac 上是 shift + option + -），这也是英文写作通用的替代法。
2. 破折号（em dash）两端可各留一半角空格，亦可不留。此乃英美习惯之不同，无对错之分。惟请在同一份简历中保持统一。
