寫簡歷的時候要注意表現自己的一些能力，尤其要突出與所應聘的工作相關的'一些能力以及適應能力。
下面是簡歷中常常要突出的三種能力：
Job-related: These are relevant to a specific job. For example, an accountant's job-related skills might include financial planning (計劃編制), budgeting (預算) and financial reporting (財務報表).
Transferable (可調換的): Skills learned in one field or job that are applicable to different ones are transferable. These skills can reflect how you deal with things (assembly, machine operation), data (research, synthesizing information) and people (instruction, management and negotiation).
Adaptive (有適應能力的): These skills are the hardest to substantiate (證實) as they include personality traits (個性特點) and characteristics that determine your work style. Adaptive skills include reliability, ability to get along with colleagues, honesty and productivity.
