一、概述 现代社会，人们在实现自我推销时，外语能力成了一项不容忽视的条件。因而，一份简洁，明了、富有说服力的英文简历会帮助你实现自我推销的目的。
在英语中，简历一般采用Resume或Curriculum Vitea一词，偶尔也有Data Sheet或Vita，Vitae的用法。
简历是就业时不可缺少的材料。它不是对自己的经历以及经验的一一列举，而是列出主要的且密切相关的材料。例如：经验、业绩、能力、性格等等，然后将这些相关信息用简洁有力的文字表达出来。写简历时，应身临其境地设想是推销员，并把自己当作产品推销。简历是人们寻求职业的重要手段，也是争取就业机会的第一关，因此，它必须写得出色，以便吸引雇主。通常一份成功的简历要遵循下列准则：
1）展现自己的优势和特长；
2）提供能吸引雇主的信息；
3）曾经取得过的成绩；
4）附上具有说服力的证明材料、证明人和推荐信。
5）格式美观，长度适中；
6）用词妥贴，语言简洁而不失重点。 二、举例

*这份简历是仿照美式的，第一个项目就是“求职意向”（objective），开门见山，一目了然。请注意“学历”（Education）和“工作经历”（Experience），英文必须先写近的，后写远的，与中文恰好相反。西方强调个人特长，所以简历中最好提一下自己的特长（special skills）简历末尾给出推荐人证明你的英文和专业水平。推荐人应有一定的身份。
