CV和résumé都是我们在找工作时会用到的“敲门砖”，但对于两者的差别，可能很多人还不太清楚。Chelsea也是这样一个糊涂鬼，在听过Bea的解释后，她才对此有了清晰的了解。
Chelsea: Hey Bea, you busy?
Bea: Nope, what’s up hun?
Chelsea: Remember last week you told me that if I put together a résumé, ①you’d give it a 1)once-over?
Bea: ②I most certainly do. Have you got it with you?
Chelsea: Yup. Here you go.
Bea: Wait, is this meant to be your CV or your résumé?
Chelsea: Um…to be honest, I’m not sure what the difference is.
Bea: Okay, well “CV” stands for curriculum vitae, which loosely translates to “the course of my life”. It’s basically a summary of your professional and academic history and achievements.
切尔西：嗨，比衣，你忙吗？
比衣：不忙，亲爱的，有啥事儿？切尔西：记得你上周说如果我整理好一份简历，你会浏览一遍吗？
比衣：我当然记得啦。你带来了吗？
切尔西：嗯。给你。
比衣：等一下，你是想写个人履历还是简历？
切尔西：呃……说实话，我不太清楚这两者的区别。
比衣：好吧，“CV”代表个人履历，不严格的话，可以译成“我的人生历程”。它基本上是你的职业和教育史以及取得成绩的概述。
Chelsea: Uh, that sounds pretty intense.
Bea: It is. It’s usually reserved for applying to high-level positions, like the head of a hospital department or an executive position. A résumé should be a summary of relevant job experience and education.
Chelsea: Relevant?
Bea: Basically it boils down to this: ③Brevity is the soul of wit.
Chelsea: ④I’m not sure I follow you.
Bea: Okay, for starters, you’ve included picture of yourself. Are you applying for a modeling position?
Chelsea: Haha, nope.
Bea: TV?
Chelsea: Nope.
Bea: News anchor?
Chelsea: Okay, gotcha. The photo’s unnecessary, right?
Bea: A waste of space. They don’t need to know what you look like, they need
to know what you
can do.
Chelsea: Well I put
that stuff as well.
Bea: I can see that!
How many pages is
this?
Chelsea: Um…five.
Bea: ⑤Way too
long. If I’m reading
100 résumés for an entry position, I’m not going to take the time to read a book like this. ⑥You won’t have ghost of a chance.
Chelsea: Brevity is the soul of wit, right?
Bea: Bingo. We’re back to the relevant thing. Only put on here what is going to matter to the new position. If you’re applying to the advertising field, no one cares that you worked as a waitress part time.
Chelsea: Gotcha. What about my personal info?
Bea: Again, no one cares. I only care about what’s relevant to the position. I’m not interested in your interests.
Chelsea: Okay, ⑦I’m gonna get cracking on a rewrite of this. Would you mind taking another look when I’m done?
Bea: Not at all! ⑧Just give me a shout when you’re done.
切尔西：呃，真是深刻的分析。
比衣：是的。它常常用来申请高级职位，比如医院里一个部门的头儿或者管理职位。简历应该是对相关工作经验和教育背景的总结。
切尔西：相关的？
比衣：基本上可以归纳为：言简为贵。切尔西：我不太明白你的意思。
比衣：好的，作为初次写简历的人，你已经贴上了自己的照片。你是在申请模特职位吗？
切尔西：哈哈，不是啊。
比衣：电视演员？
切尔西：不是。
比衣：新闻主播？
切尔西： 好吧，我明白了。并不需要贴照片，是吧？
比衣：（这是）浪费空间。他们不需要知道你长什么样，他们需要知道你能做
什么。
切尔西：我也写了这些资料的。
比衣：我看到了！（但是）这份简历有多少页啊？
切尔西：呃……5页。比衣：实在是太长
了。如果我要看100份投给初级职位的简历，我不会花时间去看这种像本书那么长的东西。（这样）你是不可能得到面试机会的。
切尔西：言简为贵，对吧？
比衣：是的。我们说回相关的话题。只要在这里加上你与新职位相关的经历。如果你要应聘广告行业，不会有人在乎你曾经当过兼职服务员。
切尔西：明白了。那我的个人信息呢？比衣：再说一遍，没有人在意这些。我只关心和该职位有关的东西。我对你的兴趣毫无兴趣。
切尔西：好的，我决定重写一遍。我写完以后你不介意再看一遍吗？
比衣：当然不介意！写完了告诉我。
