Five Steps for Updating Your Resume

更新简历的五个步骤

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

新的一年就要来了！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。”
