五招快速更新简历

While you may not need an entirely new resume， you should probably freshen up your current credentials.
你的简历可能不需要整个的更新，但是你至少应该更新你的资历了。
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是公司芝加哥一家简历制作以及职业咨询公司，其创立者Lauren Milligan也是一位简历专家，她说更新你的简历并不需要花费很多的时间、也不会很痛苦。以下是她分享的快速更新简历的五个步骤。
1. Start at the End
从结尾处开始
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.
不要去检查整个简历，这会让你自己崩溃。Milligan说：“你可以只看简历的结尾部分，看看是否有什么新的内容可以添加上去。专题会、专业培训、或奖励等都是一些可以快速添加的现有事项。”
2. Where You’ve Been and Where You‘re Going
你的现状以及未来的目标
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.”
接下来，看看简历接近结尾的部分。Milligan建议说：“自己看看上面填写的内容是否和你当前的工作目标相关，如果不是的话就删除掉，并多写一些对你即将涉足的职业有帮助的已达到的成就。”
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.
她还揭露说：“如果在简历的最下面写的是与当前的工作目标有关的内容的话，就简单的编辑一下吧。不要让你从事的第一份工作得到过多关注。”
3. A Year in the Life
过去一年的工作生活
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.”
将注意力转移到你当前的工作上。Milligan说：“将你去年一年中接触过的项目或取得的成就都更新到简历上去。即使在过去的一年中你没有获得晋升，也可以将发生过的所有事情都更新到简历中去。”
4. Update Your Look
更新简历的外表
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.”
最新的信息应该要有最新的表现形式。你的简历看起来是时髦的、精炼的还是简单、无趣的、陈旧的呢？如果是的话，Milligan觉得应该为你的简历整容了。她说：“如果你用的简历模板还是前几年的话，你就应该修改简历使其更适合你目前从事的职业，而不是还沿用你毕业时候做的模板。”
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，要确保你的简历要有几个版本—纯文本、Word格式和PDF格式。“每个版本都有不同的好处。有一份PDF的文档就意味着你在技术上比较精通。”
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一再强调了简历校正的重要性。“每次你修改简历的时候，都可能会出现新的错误。”这位简历和职业的领衔人物说：“要反复校正，并请你的朋友帮你一起检查。再小心也不为过。”
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补充说：“如果你反复修改简历的话，就比那些不愿意这样做的人更有机会得到工作机会。定期更新会让你的简历更好。”
