要想成功地找到一份自己滿意的工作應當從準備一份簡歷開始。下面的對話將告訴你如何準備一份簡歷。
Owen:Hi, I am sure glad to see you.
Henry:Are you kidding me? Why do you say so?
Owen:You know, I'm about to graduate and I have to look for a job as soon as possible. But I haven’t the faintest idea of how to go about finding a job.
Henry:OK. Let me see where to start.
Owen:I guess first I should prepare a resume, right?
Henry:Sure. You should include your name, address and phone number in your resume.
Owen:Then what else should I put into my resume？
Henry:Your job objectives, of course. In other words, what kind of job are you searching for?
Owen:I got it. Then I should mention my educating background and working experience, should I?
Henry:Yes. And don't forget to list them by date. Besides, you should begin with the most recent and then move backward.
Owen:I see. Is that all there is to it?
Henry:No, it's also necessary to list a few related interests that are in some way connected to the jobs you want to take.
Owen:Oh, good point. You mean here I should show off my special skills and talents to impress the boss.
Henry:You said it. At last you’d better attach a list of references to your resume.
Owen:That's easy.
Henry:And one more thing, smile widely.

漢語譯文:
歐文：嗨，見到你真是太高興了。
亨利：逗我玩吧？為什么那么說？
歐文：你知道，我快要畢業了，而我得盡快找份工作。但我對如何著手找工作一無所知。
亨利：好吧。讓我想想從哪開始。
歐文：我猜首先我應該準備一份簡歷，是不是？
亨利：沒錯。你應該在簡歷中寫出你的姓名、地址和電話號碼。
歐文：還有什么應該寫進簡歷呢？
亨利：當然還有你的工作目標。換句話說，就是你要找什么樣的工作？
歐文：我明白了。然后我還應該提及我的教育背景和工作經驗，是不是？
亨利：是的。而且別忘了按時間順序。此外，你應該從最近的信息寫起，然后往回進行。
歐文：知道了。就這些了嗎？
亨利：不，還有必要列舉一下和你想做的工作相關的興趣愛好。
歐文：噢，有道理。你是說我應該突出我的興趣和愛好，好讓老板留住我。
亨利：對了，最后你最好給你的簡歷附上推薦人。
歐文：那簡單。
亨利：還有一點，微笑！
