1. What is a resume anyway？

什麼是簡歷？

Remember： a resume is a self-promotional document that presents you in the best possible light, for the purpose of getting invited to a job interview. It‘s not an official personnel document. It’s not a job application. It‘s not a "career obituary"！ And it's not a confessional.

should the resume content be about？

應該在簡歷上寫些什麼？

It‘s not just about past jobs！ It’s about YOU, and how you performed and what you accomplished in those past jobs——especially those accomplishments that are most relevant to the work you want to do next. A good resume predicts how you might perform in that desired future job.

's the first step in writing a resume？

寫簡歷的第一步是什麼？

do you decide whether to use a Chronological resume or a Functional one？

按時間順序寫簡歷好還是按技能或能力寫簡歷？

The Chronological format is widely preferred by employers, and works well if you're staying in the same field （especially if you've been upwardly-mobile）. Only use a Functional format if you're changing fields, and you're sure a skills-oriented format would show off your transferable skills to better advantage； and be sure to include a clear chronological work history！
