把你的美国式的简历变成一份履历并非是件让人害怕的麻烦差事。你要做的更改只是添上些工作描述,增加个人方面的详细信息以及附上一份关于你的技能和经历的摘要。在你修改简历的时候,可以参考我们的履历范文。这里我们为您提供指导,告诉你该如何修改自己的简历:
1.在你的履历的开头(除了你的地址和联系方式之外)给出简历里通常不包含的一些个人信息——也就是,你的婚姻状况和国籍。
2.提供一个你的技能和经历的摘要,把它作为给未来老板的自我介绍。我们的履历范本列出了曾经担任职务的清单和申请者对于过去的职责、成绩以及技能的总结。把这些信息,以及履历前一两页上的其它细节信息,当作为你履历后面更深入的信息抛砖引玉。
3.在工作描述这一栏里尽量多添加一些细节。美式的简历强调简洁;但履历并非如此。在履历当中,工作描述,不是像发电报似的那样简单的描述事件,而是需要深入的说明工作经历,而且需要涉及具体的项目,职责和成绩。想想下面的两个工作描述有什么不同。第一个是简历当中的工作描述,详细地描述了某一职位,但是第二段(履历的)更为详细具体的描述让招聘者对于应聘者的工作经历有一个更深刻的印象。

履历式的
艾科软件有限公司(1997年2月至1999年3月)
软件开发员
在由六名成员组成的负责建立一套供艾科客户使用的网络应用程序的软件开发小组担任首席开发员。艾科为它的客户(包括一些财富500强企业)提供高端的互联网工具、咨询以及服务来维护和更新网站。作为首席开发员,我工作的一部分是与项目经理合作,评估项目目标,调查客户需求,并按时起草计划。项目需要运用Java, DHTML, SQL服务器以及Java描述语言等多种语言。在财富500强的一家金融公司的非技术最终用户群体中完成了正式投入使用前的试用工作。项目比最终期限提前两周完成。在项目交付之后,继续进行对软件的调整改进和额外用户试验等工作。为小群体的最终用户介绍如何使用这个应用软件。
4.考虑在自己的履历中增加一部分,来纳入自己在文章发表、讲演、训练课程以及其它方面的成绩。这一部分对于是否能够让你的未来老板对你的资历条件留下深刻印象至关重要,然而这也取决于你所在的领域,以及你所取得过的成绩。比如说,如果你在重大会议上做过6次演讲,那么给出这些演讲的题目、地点以及主要内容。对于你出版的文章或者书籍以及完成的课程也这样做。
5.其它的一些特殊技能、具体的兴趣和爱好也应该写入履历当中。你不需要再把自己的兴趣爱好总结成简历里那短短的一行字。详细的描述自己的兴趣爱好,特别是那些与你在未来的国际职位上能否取得成功密切相关的兴趣爱好。
简易贴士
你需要一份履历?
上个周末的时间你都花在了写简历和改简历上了,而你现在终于知道你需要的不是简历——而是一份履历。深呼吸,静下心来,接受一些可靠的建议:
• 履历本质上是简历的另外一个名字。也就是说,你不需要重新写一份履历,而只需要思考一下该添加那些细节内容以及如何重新安排简历里的内容。
• 你的美式简历是否能被你正在申请的国际公司所接受呢?也许他们能够接受。你需要和公司确认一下。
• 寻找员工为自己海外工作的美国公司仍然希望收到美式的简历。所以如果你正在申请这样的公司,不需要为履历劳心费神了。
Turning a Resume into a CVTurning your American-style resume into a CV should not be a much-dreaded ordeal. The changes may simply be a matter of expanding job descriptions, adding personal details and including a summary of your skills and experience. Refer to our sample CV as you revise your resume. Here is a how-to guide to help you in the process:
1. At the start of your CV (along with your address and contact information) include personal details typically left out of a resume -- namely, your marital status and nationality.
2. Write a summary of your skills and experience as an introduction to potential employers. Our sample CV accomplishes this with a list of positions held and an overview of the applicanthjteshufuhaos previous responsibilities, accomplishments and skills. Think of this information, along with the other details in the first one or two pages of your CV, as a quick guide to the more in-depth descriptions that follow.
3. Add considerable detail to job descriptions. An American-style resume emphasizes brevity; a CV does not. In a CV, job descriptions, rather than telegraphing details, should explain employment in depth, with references to specific projects, responsibilities and accomplishments. Consider the differences between the following two job descriptions. The first describes the position adequately for a resume, but the second (for the CV) enhances the description, giving the potential employer a much deeper sense of the applicanthjteshufuhaos work experience.

4. Consider including a section with publications, speeches, training courses and other accomplishments. Depending on your field -- and your accomplishments -- this section can be crucial in giving a potential employer a sense of your qualifications. If you have given six speeches at conferences, for instance, provide the topics, the locations and brief descriptions of each. The same goes for publications and courses you have completed.
5. Include details about any other special skills, interests and hobbies. You need not limit yourself to a single line outlining personal interests. Describe interests in detail, especially if they have some relevance to your potential success in an international position.
