七、个人简历（Resume）
         个人简历是新大纲上提到的另一种应用文写作题型。简历有普通简历和标准格式简历两种，两种简历格式不同但作用完全一样，都是为了让他人了解自己的年龄、地址、家庭背景、婚姻状况、教育、专业、工作及其他经历等情况。简历要求别人看了能相信你的自我介绍，正是为了提高简历的可信度，写简历的语言要求简洁明了、朴实，忌用华丽的词藻。
        普通简历与一般的自荐信正文相类似，全部个人信息通过一段文字表述。
        例: An Applicant’s Resume
        The following is my resume:
        My name is Ho Ping.I was born on May10， 1956，in Wujiang City， Jiangsu Province.My father is a professor of chemistry and my mother， a doctor in charge.I received a very good home education， both moral and intellectual， in my childhood.During the six years in the middle school， I was particularly interested in and fairly good at science subjects， In1977， I was admitted into the Civil Engineering Department of Southeast Polytechnic University， where I stayed for four years， majoring in bridge building.Upon graduation with honors in1981， I got a job as an assistant in a research institute.I loved my work and devoted all I had to it.Urged by a strong determination to improve myself in basic knowledge and theories， I began to study in my spare time all the courses required by the graduate program.Three years of hard work has yielded some great progress.Now I seem to have got a better grasp of the fundamentals of my speciality.
        The authorities of the institute in which I am working have always been showing utmost solicitute for my growth and development.To improve my English they sent me to a special English class training personnel to go abroad for advanced studies.What with my hard work and diligence， and what with the loving care and sincere help of the teachers， I made mighty advances in my English.I am sure after a few weeks of adaptation and familiarization I will have no difficulty in functioning on a daily basis in an Englishspeaking society or in participating fully in graduate studies.
        Since my childhood， I have always been trying to cultivate a good character， paying attention to good manners and noble ideas.I frequently examine myself as to whether I am honest and faithful to friends， respectful and responsive to teachers and superiors， loyal and devoted to duties.I put strict demands on my speech and behavior in my daily activities.
        Besides，I am physically strong， which owes greatly to constant training and exercise.It is true that health is the sure guarantee for one’s success in career. I have， of course，weaknesses and shortcomings， conspicuous among which are impatience with difficulties and hesitation in making some decisions.I consider them my bitter enemies， which I must make every effort to overcome. Now， I am applying for admission to the Graduate School of Civil Engineering of Yoyo University in the U.S.A. If accepted， I plan to stay there for three years leading to a Ph.D.degree.I hope my further studies as a graduate will help improve my service for my country and its people.
        另有标准格式简历，属表格简历，比较正式，讲究一定的格式和先后顺序。
