Which CV format to use?

　　浅析简历格式

　　CVs are a summary of your skills and achievements and they to 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.

　　简历是对你能力和成就的总结，所以需要内容简短;最好不要超过2页。你可以自由地选择格式去吸引雇主的眼球，并最大限度地扬长避短。

　　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.

　　最标准的简历格式是按时间顺序，这是最传统，最常见的布局，也是最常使用的格式。第二种是按照功能排序的简历，它以技能和成就为分类标准，而不是按受雇的时间和品质分类。

　　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.

　　那一种格式更适合你，这主要取决于你自身的职业发展水平。如果你是刚刚毕业的大学生，那么标准型简历，也称作能力型简历，会更加适合你。对于一个更加成熟的学生来说，技能型简历更见成效，因为可以更有效地展示生活经验。它同时适用所有的申请与自己的专业或先前工作经历无关的求职者。
