Categorize your achievements
将成绩细分
When doing up a chronologicalCV, you should outline sections of your experience, education and skills to show what you’ve accomplished. HR personneland employers take less than a minute to scan your CV, so it’s imperativeto highlightand organize items into several conciseand relevant segments.
按时间顺序写简历时，你应该按经历、教育情况和技能分类来展现你在各方面获得的成就。HR和雇主只花不到1分钟的时间看你的简历，所以将个人情况分成几个清晰明了的小板块描述是非常必要的。
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.
如果你即将毕业还未被雇佣，应将“教育背景”放在最前面，除了在这块中写上大学名称、学历和毕业时间外，还可以加上相关课程和所获荣誉。
Other categoriesmight include Relevant Work Experience, Volunteer Experience, Computer Skills, Activities, Language Skills and so on.
其他分类还应该包括相关工作经历、志愿者经历、参加活动、语言技能等等。
Appearance can make or break your CV
简历外观决定简历好坏
Fonts: Whether you email, fax or post your CV, keep your fontplain and easy to read. And select a reasonable size – anywhere between 9 and 12 points should be acceptable. Use a font like Arial or Verdana, not Times New Roman.
字体：不管是发邮件、传真或是简历，所用字体一定要简洁并方便阅读。字号选择要合理——9号到12号大小都比较适合阅读;字体可以是Arial或Verdana，不要用Times New Roman。
Formatting: Too many different fonts, colors and graphicstyles will hold the reader up. Simple bulletsare best for separating your duties and skills; use boldand italicssparingly. Formattingshould highlight your accomplishments, not draw attention away from them.
版式：太多的字体、颜色和图案会让看简历的人没兴趣再读下去。简单的小分句可以把技能和工作清晰表述出来，并适当使用粗体和斜体。版式是用来突出个人成就，而不是降低看客兴趣的。
Content is King
内容是王道
Action-words: Instead of starting your sentence with a noun, kick off with an active verb.
动词：使用动词而不是名词开头来描述你的经历。
Numbers: It’s a good idea to include numbers, percentages and amounts in your job descriptions to back up your achievements. For example, Increased turnoverby 20% in first year. Superviseda team of 10 people.
数字：在职位描述中用数字、百分比或数量支撑你获得的成就是非常占优势的。比如：提高了20%的周转率，管理了10人团队。
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.
长度：没有人愿意看超过两页的写满成就和经历的简历，如果所获成就并不是和职位有很强的关联度，可以把简历长度缩短，以内容最相关，招聘官看后印象深刻为准。
