1. Organise your life第一步：組織好你的經(jīng)歷

　　In functional CVs, you put your skills into categories then briefly list past job titles at the bottom. These are suitable for those who have been unemployed for long periods, held different types of jobs in the past, changed jobs too frequently, are returning to work after a long period or who wish to change career.功能型簡歷——強(qiáng)調(diào)技能、資質(zhì)以及成就。適合于以下情況：有很長時(shí)間沒有工作過了、過去頻繁更換工作不想給招聘者留下不好的印象、工作經(jīng)歷有中斷、跨專業(yè)求職，但你具有申請職位所需的相關(guān)技能。

　　Recent graduates and others on a consistent career path usually opt for the chronological format. These CVs list your jobs and duties for each in reverse chronological order.時(shí)序性簡歷——是要按照逆時(shí)序記錄你曾就職的職位的。適合于應(yīng)屆畢業(yè)生，或者工作不曾未間斷過。

　　2. Categorize your achievements第二步：給你的成就分類

　　When doing up a chronological CV, you should outline sections of your experience, education and skills to show what you’ve accomplished. HR personnel and employers take less than a minute to scan your CV, so it’s imperative to highlight and organize items into several concise and relevant segments.寫時(shí)序性簡歷時(shí)，應(yīng)該著重概括你的經(jīng)歷、教育和技能。HR人員和你的雇主會對你的簡歷一掃而過，所以簡歷上必須突出和分成幾個(gè)簡潔、相關(guān)的部分。

　　If you’re a recent graduate and therefore have not yet been employed, put your Education section first. In addition to the basics – university name, degree and graduation date – you can include relevant coursework, honors or awards.如果你因?yàn)閯倓偖厴I(yè)所以還沒有工作經(jīng)驗(yàn)，那么把你的教育經(jīng)歷放在首位。包括一些基本的方面，比如大學(xué)名稱，學(xué)士學(xué)位和畢業(yè)日期。當(dāng)然也包括你修過的相關(guān)課程、所獲榮譽(yù)或獎(jiǎng)項(xiàng)等等。

　　Other categories might include Relevant Work Experience, Volunteer Experience, Computer Skills, Publications, Activities, Language Skills and so on.其他分類還包括相關(guān)工作經(jīng)驗(yàn)、志愿者經(jīng)歷、電腦技能、發(fā)表過的文章、參加過的活動(dòng)、語言能力等等。

　　3. Appearance can make or break your CV.第三步：格式可以成就你的簡歷，也可能毀了它

　　– Fonts: Whether you email, fax or post your CV, keep your font plain and easy to read. And select a reasonable size – anywhere between 9 and 12 points should be acceptable. Use a sans serif font like Arial or Verdana, not Times New Roman.– 字體：無論你是發(fā)電子郵件、傳真或是郵寄你的簡歷，都應(yīng)該讓你的字體看上去舒服、易于閱讀。記得要選擇一個(gè)合適的字體大小，最好是9號到12號之間。字體方面，最好用Arial或Vrdana，而不是Times New Roman。

　　– Formatting: Too many different fonts, colors and graphic styles will hold the reader up. Simple bullets are best for separating your duties and skills; use bold and italics sparingly. Formatting should highlight your accomplishments, not draw attention away from them.– 格式：過多的字體、顏色和樣式會分散讀者的注意力。簡單的項(xiàng)目符號能最好地表明你的職責(zé)和技能，同時(shí)，有節(jié)制地使用粗體和斜體。使用格式是為了突出你的成就，而非分散別人的注意力。

　　4. Content is King第四步：內(nèi)容才是王道

　　– Action-words: Use strong Action Verbs to highlight your job experience and duties. Instead of starting your sentence with a noun, kick off with an active verb. For example: Customer Service Representative. Assisted customers, trained and supervised 15 new employees, organized special promotional events.– 行為動(dòng)詞：使用簡潔有力的動(dòng)詞來突出你的工作經(jīng)驗(yàn)和職責(zé)，而不是用名詞開頭。比如：客戶服務(wù)代表。幫助客戶，培訓(xùn)和監(jiān)管15名新員工，組織專門的銷售活動(dòng)。

　　– Numbers: It’s a good idea to include numbers, percentages and amounts in your job descriptions to back up your achievements. For example, Increased monthly sales by 100,000 over a 6-month period. Increased turnover by 20% in first year. Supervised a team of 10 people.– 數(shù)字：在簡歷中使用數(shù)字或百分比使成就更具有說服力是個(gè)不錯(cuò)的主意。例如：銷售額在6個(gè)月間以每個(gè)月100,000的速度增長，第一年增加了20%的營業(yè)額。監(jiān)管一個(gè)10人的團(tuán)隊(duì)。

　　– Length: No one wants to scan through two or more pages of long-winded accomplishments and experience. If it doesn’t all fit, cut it down to the most relevant and impressive items.– 長度：沒人愿意看長篇大論的簡歷。遇到不必要的部分就刪減掉，留下最相關(guān)、給人印象最深刻的部分。
