A new year is coming! And while you may not need an entirely new resume, you should probably freshen up your current credentials.

    新的一年就要來(lái)了！你的簡(jiǎn)歷可能不需要整個(gè)的更新，但是你至少應(yīng)該更新你的資歷了。

    Updating your resume doesn't have to be too time-consuming or painful, says resume expert Lauren Milligan, founder of ResuMAYDAY, a Chicago-based resume writing and career services firm. She shares five quick tips for breathing new life into your old resume.

    ResuMAYDAY是公司芝加哥一家簡(jiǎn)歷制作以及職業(yè)咨詢(xún)公司，其創(chuàng)立者Lauren Milligan也是一位簡(jiǎn)歷專(zhuān)家，她說(shuō)更新你的簡(jiǎn)歷并不需要花費(fèi)很多的時(shí)間、也不會(huì)很痛苦。以下是她分享的快速更新簡(jiǎn)歷的五個(gè)步驟。

    1. Start at the End

    從結(jié)尾處開(kāi)始

    Don't overwhelm yourself by looking at your entire resume -- yet. "Look at the bottom of your resume and see if there's anything new that you can add. Workshops, professional training, or awards are a quick way to add something current," says Milligan.

    不要去檢查整個(gè)簡(jiǎn)歷，這會(huì)讓你自己崩潰。Milligan說(shuō)："你可以只看簡(jiǎn)歷的結(jié)尾部分，看看是否有什么新的內(nèi)容可以添加上去。專(zhuān)題會(huì)、專(zhuān)業(yè)培訓(xùn)、或獎(jiǎng)勵(lì)等都是一些可以快速添加的現(xiàn)有事項(xiàng)。"

    2. Where You've Been and Where You're Going

    你的現(xiàn)狀以及未來(lái)的目標(biāo)

    Next, look at the position nearest the bottom of your resume. Milligan advises, "Ask yourself if it's still relevant to your current career goal. If it's not, delete it so you can build on more current accomplishments that will further your career."

    接下來(lái)，看看簡(jiǎn)歷接近結(jié)尾的部分。Milligan建議說(shuō)："自己看看上面填寫(xiě)的內(nèi)容是否和你當(dāng)前的工作目標(biāo)相關(guān)，如果不是的話就刪除掉，并多寫(xiě)一些對(duì)你即將涉足的職業(yè)有幫助的已達(dá)到的成就。"

    If that last position is still somewhat relevant, "Just edit it down. The very first position you held should get the least amount of attention," she reveals.

    她還揭露說(shuō)："如果在簡(jiǎn)歷的最下面寫(xiě)的是與當(dāng)前的工作目標(biāo)有關(guān)的內(nèi)容的話，就簡(jiǎn)單的編輯一下吧。不要讓你從事的第一份工作得到過(guò)多關(guān)注。"

    3. A Year in the Life

    過(guò)去一年的工作生活

    Turn your attention toward your current job. Milligan says, "Update any new projects or accomplishments that have occurred over the last year. Even if it's not a promotion, just include anything from last year that can be added to it."

    將注意力轉(zhuǎn)移到你當(dāng)前的工作上。Milligan說(shuō)："將你去年一年中接觸過(guò)的項(xiàng)目或取得的成就都更新到簡(jiǎn)歷上去。即使在過(guò)去的一年中你沒(méi)有獲得晉升，也可以將發(fā)生過(guò)的所有事情都更新到簡(jiǎn)歷中去。"

    4. Update Your Look

    更新簡(jiǎn)歷的外表

    Current information deserves a current look. Does your resume look stylish and polished -- or plain, dull, and dated? If so, Milligan believes it may be time to give your resume a face lift. "If you're still using the same resume format you used a few years ago, you should change it to something more suited to the positions you're currently pursuing -- not those you had after graduation."

    最新的信息應(yīng)該要有最新的表現(xiàn)形式。你的簡(jiǎn)歷看起來(lái)是時(shí)髦的、精煉的還是簡(jiǎn)單、無(wú)趣的、陳舊的呢？如果是的話，Milligan覺(jué)得應(yīng)該為你的簡(jiǎn)歷整容了。她說(shuō)："如果你用的簡(jiǎn)歷模板還是前幾年的話，你就應(yīng)該修改簡(jiǎn)歷使其更適合你目前從事的職業(yè)，而不是還沿用你畢業(yè)時(shí)候做的模板。"

    Also, make your resume available in several formats -- text only, Microsoft Word, and a PDF. "There's a good use for each of these formats. Having a PDF of your resume at the ready implies a little more technical savvyon your part."

    另外，要確保你的簡(jiǎn)歷要有幾個(gè)版本-純文本、Word格式和PDF格式。"每個(gè)版本都有不同的好處。有一份PDF的文檔就意味著你在技術(shù)上比較精通。"

    5. Proofread. Proofread. Proofread.

    校正，校正，再校正

    Milligan cannot stress enough the importance of proofreading your resume. "Every time you make any changes to your resume, it's possible to introduce another error," says the resume and careers guru. "Proofread it again and again, and ask a few friends to look at it, also. You can never be too careful."

    Milligan一再?gòu)?qiáng)調(diào)了簡(jiǎn)歷校正的重要性。"每次你修改簡(jiǎn)歷的時(shí)候，都可能會(huì)出現(xiàn)新的錯(cuò)誤。"這位簡(jiǎn)歷和職業(yè)的領(lǐng)銜人物說(shuō)："要反復(fù)校正，并請(qǐng)你的朋友幫你一起檢查。再小心也不為過(guò)。"

    Adds Milligan, "If you have a 'blah' resume, you're leaving yourself open to those jobs that others aren't willing to do. Update it to make it great!"

    Milligan補(bǔ)充說(shuō)："如果你反復(fù)修改簡(jiǎn)歷的話，就比那些不愿意這樣做的人更有機(jī)會(huì)得到工作機(jī)會(huì)。定期更新會(huì)讓你的簡(jiǎn)歷更好。"
