第一步：组织好你的经历

In functional CVs, you put your skills into categoriesthen 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.

功能型简历——强调技能、资质以及成就。适合于以下情况：有很长时间没有工作过了、过去频繁更换工作不想给招聘者留下不好的印象、工作经历有中断、跨专业求职，但你具有申请职位所需的相关技能。

Recent graduates and others on a consistentcareer path usually optfor the chronologicalformat. These CVs list your jobs and duties for each in reverse chronological order.时序性简历——是要按照逆时序记录你曾就职的职位的。适合于应届毕业生，或者工作不曾未间断过。

第二步：给你的成就分类

When doing up a chronological CV, you should outlinesections of your experience, education and skills to show what you’ve accomplished. HR personnel and employers take less than a minute to scanyour CV, so it’s imperativeto highlight and organize items into several conciseand relevant segments.写时序性简历时，应该着重概括你的经历、教育和技能。HR人员和你的雇主会对你的简历一扫而过，所以简历上必须突出和分成几个简洁、相关的部分。

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.如果你因为刚刚毕业所以还没有工作经验，那么把你的教育经历放在首位。包括一些基本的方面，比如大学名称，学士学位和毕业日期。当然也包括你修过的相关课程、所获荣誉或奖项等等。

Other categories might include Relevant Work Experience, Volunteer Experience, Computer Skills, Publications, Activities, Language Skills and so on.其他分类还包括相关工作经验、志愿者经历、电脑技能、发表过的文章、参加过的活动、语言能力等等。
