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

簡歷是對你所掌握的技能和取得的成就的總結(jié)，必須簡潔，最多不超過兩頁。你可以任意選擇最適合自己的簡歷模板，以吸引你的潛在雇主，并揚長避短。

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.

標準簡歷是以時間為序進行制作的，它的布局傳統(tǒng)、常見，且使用頻率最高。第二種形式的簡歷是功能型簡歷，側(cè)重于對自身技能和成績的描述，而不是工作經(jīng)歷和資質(zhì)。

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.

在某種程度上說，哪一種簡歷更適合自己取決于自身的職業(yè)發(fā)展情況。如果你是一名剛畢業(yè)的大學生，標準簡歷(也稱為基于個人能力的簡歷)更為合適。對于成熟的求職者，基于技能的簡歷更合適，因為它能有效地描述個人經(jīng)歷。同時它也適用于那些尋找與自己所學專業(yè)和之前工作經(jīng)歷無關的工作的求職者。
