很多人或许会认为，虽然很多大公司要求递交中英文简历，但是HR大都是中国人，所以只要把中文简历缔造好，英文简历只是走个过场，随便弄一下就可以了。但是外企HR告诉我们其实一名求职者最初发送的中英文简历会跟着他求职的整个过程，或许第一轮把关的是中国人。但是，一旦到后面几轮面试，面试官很可能是以英语为母语的人士，他们跟之前的面试官可能并没有交流，而是完全根据你的简历和你的表现来作判断。这个时候，如果你的英文简历如果出现任何差错的话，那么就会使你的印象大打折扣，这样的后果往往可能变得非常严重。
从英语简历中，企业还可以看出求职者的英语水平。如果简历中有拼写错误，那么用人单位既会质疑求职者的做事的认真程度也会质疑他的英语水平。除了拼写错误，文法错误也是学生经常会犯的毛病，有的错误非常明显，让求职者糟糕的英文水平暴露无疑。
英语简历也能体现求职者对于外来文化的了解和接受程度。很多词语或说法是中国特有的，HR视角：外国人是绝对无法理解的。
