Which CV format to use?

　　淺析簡歷格式

　　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.

　　簡歷是對你能力和成就的總結，所以需要內容簡短;最好不要超過2頁。你可以自由地選擇格式去吸引雇主的眼球，并最大限度地揚長避短。

　　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.

　　最標準的簡歷格式是按時間順序，這是最傳統，最常見的布局，也是最常使用的格式。第二種是按照功能排序的簡歷，它以技能和成就為分類標準，而不是按受雇的時間和品質分類。

　　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.

　　那一種格式更適合你，這主要取決于你自身的職業發展水平。如果你是剛剛畢業的大學生，那么標準型簡歷，也稱作能力型簡歷，會更加適合你。對于一個更加成熟的學生來說，技能型簡歷更見成效，因為可以更有效地展示生活經驗。它同時適用所有的申請與自己的專業或先前工作經歷無關的求職者。
