While you may not need an entirely new resume, you should probably freshen up your current credentials.

　　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&apost 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&apost overwhelm yourself by looking at your entire resume -- yet. "Look at the bottom of your resume and see if there&aposs 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&aposve Been and Where You&aposre 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&aposs still relevant to your current career goal. If it&aposs 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。”

　　3. A Year in the Life

　　过去一年的工作生活

　　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&aposs not a promotion, just include anything from last year that can be added to it."

　　将注意力转移到你当前的工作上。Milligan说：“将你去年一年中接触过的项目或取得的成就都更新到简历上去。即使在过去的一年中你没有获得晋升，也可以将发生过的所有事情都更新到简历中去。”

　　4. Update Your Look

　　更新简历的外表

　　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&aposre still using the same resume format you used a few years ago, you should change it to something more suited to the positions you&aposre currently pursuing -- not those you had after graduation."

　　最新的信息应该要有最新的表现形式。你的简历看起来是时髦的、精炼的还是简单、无趣的、陈旧的呢?如果是的话，Milligan觉得应该为你的简历整容了。她说：“如果你用的简历模板还是前几年的话，你就应该修改简历使其更适合你目前从事的职业，而不是还沿用你毕业时候做的模板。”

　　Also, make your resume available in several formats -- text only, Microsoft Word, and a PDF. "There&aposs 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，要确保你的简历要有几个版本—纯文本、Word格式和PDF格式。“每个版本都有不同的好处。有一份PDF的文档就意味着你在技术上比较精通。”

　　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&aposs 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 carul."

　　Milligan一再强调了简历校正的重要性。“每次你修改简历的时候，都可能会出现新的错误。”这位简历和职业的领衔人物说：“要反复校正，并请你的朋友帮你一起检查。再小心也不为过。”

　　Adds Milligan, "If you have a &aposblah&apos resume, you&aposre leaving yourself open to those jobs that others aren&apost willing to do. Update it to make it great!"

　　Milligan补充说：“如果你反复修改简历的话，就比那些不愿意这样做的人更有机会得到工作机会。定期更新会让你的简历更好。”
