CVs are a summary of your skills and achievements and they need to be
short; preferably a maximum of two pages. You have the freedom to choose
which format you think will most appeal to your prospective employer
and so will maximise your strengths whilst MINImising your weaknesses.
简历是对你所掌握的技能和取得的成就的总结,必须简洁,最多不超过两页。你可以任意选择最适合自己的简历模板,以吸引你的潜在雇主,并扬长避短。
The standard CV is the Chronological CV; this is the traditional,
familiar layout and is the most commonly used format. A second type is
the Functional CV which focuses on skills and achievements rather than
employment history and qualifications.
标准简历是以时间为序进行制作的,它的布局传统、常见,且使用频率最高。第二种形式的简历是功能型简历,侧重于对自身技能和成绩的描述,而不是工作经历和资质。
Which CV format is best for you, depends, to some extent, on your career
development. If you are a recent graduate, the standard CV, which is
also called a competency-based CV, is more suitable. For a more mature
student, a skills-based CV works well, as it demonstrates life
experiences more effectively. However it is useful for any job seeker,
who is applying for a career that is not directly related to his or her
degree subject or previous experience.
在某种程度上说,哪一种简历更适合自己取决于自身的职业发展情况。如果你是一名刚毕业的大学生,标准简历(也称为基于个人能力的简历)更为合适。对于成熟的求职者,基于技能的简历更合适,因为它能有效地描述个人经历。同时它也适用于那些寻找与自己所学专业和之前工作经历无关的工作的求职者。
