A new year is coming! And while you may not need an entirely new resume, you should probably freshen up your current credentials.

    新的一年就要來了！你的簡曆可能不需要整個的更新
，但是你至少應該更新你的資曆了。

    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是公司芝加哥一家簡曆製作以及職業谘詢公司，其創立者Lauren Milligan也是一位簡曆專家
，她說更新你的簡曆並不需要花費很多的時間、也不會很痛苦。以下是她分享的快速更新簡曆的五個步驟。

    1. Start at the End

    從結尾處開始

    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.

    不要去檢查整個簡曆，這會讓你自己崩潰。Milligan說："你可以隻看簡曆的結尾部分，看看是否有什麼新的內容可以添加上去。專題會、專業培訓、或獎勵等都是一些可以快速添加的現有事項。"

    2. Where You've Been and Where You're Going

    你的現狀以及未來的目標

    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."

    接下來，看看簡曆接近結尾的部分。Milligan建議說："zijikankanshangmiantianxiedeneirongshifouhenidangqiandegongzuomubiaoxiangguan，ruguobushidehuajiushanchudiao，bingduoxieyixieduinijijiangshezudezhiyeyoubangzhudeyidadaodechengjiu。"

    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.

    她還揭露說："如果在簡曆的最下麵寫的是與當前的工作目標有關的內容的話
，就簡單的編輯一下吧。不要讓你從事的第一份工作得到過多關注。"

    3. A Year in the Life

    過去一年的工作生活

    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."

    將注意力轉移到你當前的工作上。Milligan說："jiangniqunianyinianzhongjiechuguodexiangmuhuoqudedechengjiudougengxindaojianlishangqu。jishizaiguoqudeyinianzhongnimeiyouhuodejinsheng，yekeyijiangfashengguodesuoyoushiqingdougengxindaojianlizhongqu。"

    4. Update Your Look

    更新簡曆的外表

    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."

    最新的信息應該要有最新的表現形式。你的簡曆看起來是時髦的、精煉的還是簡單、無趣的、陳舊的呢？如果是的話，Milligan覺得應該為你的簡曆整容了。她說："如果你用的簡曆模板還是前幾年的話

，你就應該修改簡曆使其更適合你目前從事的職業，而不是還沿用你畢業時候做的模板。"

    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
，要確保你的簡曆要有幾個版本-純文本、Word格式和PDF格式。"每個版本都有不同的好處。有一份PDF的文檔就意味著你在技術上比較精通。"

    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一再強調了簡曆校正的重要性。"每次你修改簡曆的時候，都可能會出現新的錯誤。"這位簡曆和職業的領銜人物說："要反複校正，並請你的朋友幫你一起檢查。再小心也不為過。"

    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補充說："如果你反複修改簡曆的話
，就比那些不願意這樣做的人更有機會得到工作機會。定期更新會讓你的簡曆更好。"
