对于已经工作的人来说，工作经历这部分是简历中的重头戏，那么该如何描述工作经历呢？

Step Five: Your Jobs 描述工作经历

从当前的工作开始写起。Starting with your present position, list the title of every job you have held on a separate sheet of paper, along with the name of the company, the city and state, and the years you worked there. You don't need to list addresses and zip codes, although you will need to know that information when it comes time to fill out an application.

关于工作的时间起止问题。You can list years only (1996-present) or months and years (May 1996- present), depending on your personality. People who are detail oriented are usually more comfortable with a full accounting¹ of their time. Listing years alone covers some gaps if you have worked in a position for less than a full year while the time period spans more than one calendar year. For instance, if you worked from September 1996 through May 1997, saying 1996-1997 certainly looks better.

From the perspective of recruiters and hiring managers, most don't care whether you list the months and years or list the years only. However, regardless of which method you choose, be consistent throughout your resume, especially within sections. For instance, don't use months some of the time and years alone within the same section. 关键的一点是，对于工作时间的描述风格一定要一致。Consistency² of style is important on a resume, since it is that consistency that makes your resume neat, clean, and easy to read.
