把你的美國(guó)式的簡(jiǎn)歷變成一份履歷并非是件讓人害怕的麻煩差事。你要做的更改只是添上些工作描述，增加個(gè)人方面的詳細(xì)信息以及附上一份關(guān)于你的技能和經(jīng)歷的摘要。在你修改簡(jiǎn)歷的時(shí)候，可以參考我們的履歷范文。這里我們?yōu)槟峁┲笇?dǎo)，告訴你該如何修改自己的簡(jiǎn)歷：
1．在你的履歷的開(kāi)頭（除了你的地址和聯(lián)系方式之外）給出簡(jiǎn)歷里通常不包含的一些個(gè)人信息——也就是，你的婚姻狀況和國(guó)籍。
2．提供一個(gè)你的技能和經(jīng)歷的摘要，把它作為給未來(lái)老板的自我介紹。我們的履歷范本列出了曾經(jīng)擔(dān)任職務(wù)的清單和申請(qǐng)者對(duì)于過(guò)去的職責(zé)、成績(jī)以及技能的總結(jié)。把這些信息，以及履歷前一兩頁(yè)上的其它細(xì)節(jié)信息，當(dāng)作為你履歷后面更深入的信息拋磚引玉。
3．在工作描述這一欄里盡量多添加一些細(xì)節(jié)。美式的簡(jiǎn)歷強(qiáng)調(diào)簡(jiǎn)潔；但履歷并非如此。在履歷當(dāng)中，工作描述，不是像發(fā)電報(bào)似的那樣簡(jiǎn)單的描述事件，而是需要深入的說(shuō)明工作經(jīng)歷，而且需要涉及具體的項(xiàng)目，職責(zé)和成績(jī)。想想下面的兩個(gè)工作描述有什么不同。第一個(gè)是簡(jiǎn)歷當(dāng)中的工作描述，詳細(xì)地描述了某一職位，但是第二段（履歷的）更為詳細(xì)具體的描述讓招聘者對(duì)于應(yīng)聘者的工作經(jīng)歷有一個(gè)更深刻的印象。

履歷式的
艾科軟件有限公司（1997年2月至1999年3月）
軟件開(kāi)發(fā)員
在由六名成員組成的負(fù)責(zé)建立一套供艾科客戶使用的網(wǎng)絡(luò)應(yīng)用程序的軟件開(kāi)發(fā)小組擔(dān)任首席開(kāi)發(fā)員。艾科為它的客戶（包括一些財(cái)富500強(qiáng)企業(yè)）提供高端的互聯(lián)網(wǎng)工具、咨詢以及服務(wù)來(lái)維護(hù)和更新網(wǎng)站。作為首席開(kāi)發(fā)員，我工作的一部分是與項(xiàng)目經(jīng)理合作，評(píng)估項(xiàng)目目標(biāo)，調(diào)查客戶需求，并按時(shí)起草計(jì)劃。項(xiàng)目需要運(yùn)用Java, DHTML, SQL服務(wù)器以及Java描述語(yǔ)言等多種語(yǔ)言。在財(cái)富500強(qiáng)的一家金融公司的非技術(shù)最終用戶群體中完成了正式投入使用前的試用工作。項(xiàng)目比最終期限提前兩周完成。在項(xiàng)目交付之后，繼續(xù)進(jìn)行對(duì)軟件的調(diào)整改進(jìn)和額外用戶試驗(yàn)等工作。為小群體的最終用戶介紹如何使用這個(gè)應(yīng)用軟件。
4．考慮在自己的履歷中增加一部分，來(lái)納入自己在文章發(fā)表、講演、訓(xùn)練課程以及其它方面的成績(jī)。這一部分對(duì)于是否能夠讓你的未來(lái)老板對(duì)你的資歷條件留下深刻印象至關(guān)重要，然而這也取決于你所在的領(lǐng)域，以及你所取得過(guò)的成績(jī)。比如說(shuō)，如果你在重大會(huì)議上做過(guò)6次演講，那么給出這些演講的題目、地點(diǎn)以及主要內(nèi)容。對(duì)于你出版的文章或者書(shū)籍以及完成的課程也這樣做。
5．其它的一些特殊技能、具體的興趣和愛(ài)好也應(yīng)該寫入履歷當(dāng)中。你不需要再把自己的興趣愛(ài)好總結(jié)成簡(jiǎn)歷里那短短的一行字。詳細(xì)的描述自己的興趣愛(ài)好，特別是那些與你在未來(lái)的國(guó)際職位上能否取得成功密切相關(guān)的興趣愛(ài)好。
簡(jiǎn)易貼士
你需要一份履歷？
上個(gè)周末的時(shí)間你都花在了寫簡(jiǎn)歷和改簡(jiǎn)歷上了，而你現(xiàn)在終于知道你需要的不是簡(jiǎn)歷——而是一份履歷。深呼吸，靜下心來(lái)，接受一些可靠的建議：
• 履歷本質(zhì)上是簡(jiǎn)歷的另外一個(gè)名字。也就是說(shuō)，你不需要重新寫一份履歷，而只需要思考一下該添加那些細(xì)節(jié)內(nèi)容以及如何重新安排簡(jiǎn)歷里的內(nèi)容。
• 你的美式簡(jiǎn)歷是否能被你正在申請(qǐng)的國(guó)際公司所接受呢？也許他們能夠接受。你需要和公司確認(rèn)一下。
• 尋找員工為自己海外工作的美國(guó)公司仍然希望收到美式的簡(jiǎn)歷。所以如果你正在申請(qǐng)這樣的公司，不需要為履歷勞心費(fèi)神了。
Turning a Resume into a CVTurning your American-style resume into a CV should not be a much-dreaded ordeal. The changes may simply be a matter of expanding job descriptions, adding personal details and including a summary of your skills and experience. Refer to our sample CV as you revise your resume. Here is a how-to guide to help you in the process:
1. At the start of your CV (along with your address and contact information) include personal details typically left out of a resume -- namely, your marital status and nationality.
2. Write a summary of your skills and experience as an introduction to potential employers. Our sample CV accomplishes this with a list of positions held and an overview of the applicant's previous responsibilities, accomplishments and skills. Think of this information, along with the other details in the first one or two pages of your CV, as a quick guide to the more in-depth descriptions that follow.
3. Add considerable detail to job descriptions. An American-style resume emphasizes brevity; a CV does not. In a CV, job descriptions, rather than telegraphing details, should explain employment in depth, with references to specific projects, responsibilities and accomplishments. Consider the differences between the following two job descriptions. The first describes the position adequately for a resume, but the second (for the CV) enhances the description, giving the potential employer a much deeper sense of the applicant's work experience.

Software Developer
Created Java applications for client Web sites, including database-driven programs to allow clients to update Web pages. Worked with project manager to assure quick response to client-requested updates.
CV-style:Ecco Software Enterprises, Inc. (Feb. 1997 to March 1999)
Software Developer
Served as lead developer on a six-person team charged with building a suite of Web applications for use by Ecco clients. Ecco provides its clients, including several Fortune 500 companies, with high-end Internet tools, consulting and services for maintaining and updating Web sites. As lead developer, tasks included working with the project manager to assess goals, interpret client requests and construct a plan for meeting deadlines. Project included the use of Java, DHTML, SQL Server and JavaScript. Managed prelaunch testing with nontechnical end-users at Fortune 500 financial company. Project delivered two weeks in advance of deadline. Following project delivery, work continued on fine-tuning application and testing with additional clients. Delivered presentations to small groups of end-users on use of application.
4. Consider including a section with publications, speeches, training courses and other accomplishments. Depending on your field -- and your accomplishments -- this section can be crucial in giving a potential employer a sense of your qualifications. If you have given six speeches at conferences, for instance, provide the topics, the locations and brief descriptions of each. The same goes for publications and courses you have completed.
5. Include details about any other special skills, interests and hobbies. You need not limit yourself to a single line outlining personal interests. Describe interests in detail, especially if they have some relevance to your potential success in an international position.
Quick TipsDo You Need a CV?You've spent the last weekend writing and rewriting your resume, and now you learn you need something else entirely -- a curriculum vitae. Take a deep breath, calm down and prepare for some reassuring advice:
•A curriculum vitae is essentially another name for a resume. In other words, you don't need to prepare for a wholesale reworking of your resume, so much as you need to think about adding detail and reordering what you already have.
•Is your brief, American-style resume acceptable to a potential international employer? It may be. Check with the company.
•US companies looking for workers to live abroad will still want a US-style resume. Don't bother with a CV.
