无论选择什么职业，如下是你能在半年内学会的10项充实简历的技能，还有一些教程链接供你入门。

1. Image and Video Editing

1、图像视频编辑

More and more jobs are looking for basic photo and video editing skills, so it's useful to spend your free time — whether it's weekends or a summer — mastering at least one editing program.

越来越多的工作需要基本的图像视频编辑技能，所以无论是周末或者暑假，花费业余时间掌握至少一门编辑程序是有用的。

For image editing, the easiest and most widely used program to learn is Photoshop, but if you know that professionals in your field use other programs such as Corel Paintshop Pro X6, learn that instead.

对于图像编辑，最简单和使用最广的程序是Photoshop，但如果知道行业专业人士使用其他程序譬如Corel Paintshop Pro X6，那就学习这个。

For video editing, there are tons of different programs you can use, including Final Cut Pro, After Effects, Lightworks and Sony Vegas. Possessing the ability to work with multimedia is a great asset for your resume and for future employment.

对于视频编辑，有许多不同的程序你可以使用，包括Final Cut Pro，After Effects，Lightworks和Sony Vegas。在你的简历和未来工作中，拥有使用多媒体工作的能力都是一项巨大资质。

2. CPR and First Aid

2、心肺复苏和急救

Not only is this an impressive skill to have for a job, it's also useful in your daily life. To get your two-year CPR certification, you can take classes at three specific organizations: the American Red Cross, the American Heart Association or the National Safety Council.

不止对找工作是一项令人印象深刻的技能，它在日常生活中也有用。为了获得2两年的心肺复苏资格证书，你可以在如下三个机构里参加学习课程：美国红十字会、美国心脏协会或者美国国家安全委员会。

While you will need to take a refresher course every time your certification expires, you will be able to help people in medical situations and show your potential employers how responsible you are. If you want to take it a step further, you can get your EMT certification as well.

在每次证件过期重新学习时，你能够帮助需要紧急治疗的人也能向你潜在的老板展示责任担当。如果想进一步学习，你也可以获取紧急医疗救护技术员证书。

3. Serving Alcohol

3、侍酒服务

If you're interested in working at a high-end restaurant, why not learn how to bartend? The job isn't as simple as it looks, even if it's in your average bar. Certain restaurants will even test prospective servers by asking them how wine should be served —naming different varietals and what types of food they should be paired with — and even the ingredients for specific mixed drinks.

如果你对在高端餐厅工作感兴趣，为什么不学习调酒？即使是在普通的酒吧，这项工作并不像它看起来那么简单。某些餐厅还会测试有资质的服务者，提问他们关于侍酒的问题——说出不同的葡萄酒品种，以及与之相搭配的食材，甚至某一调制饮品的成分。

You can look for classes in your area or learn the basics online, and with practice, you could be serving fine wine at a sophisticated dining establishment in no time.

可以在你区域内寻找一些课程或者在线学习基本知识，然后辅以练习，不久的将来你就能在一个精细严密的餐饮机构提供较好的侍酒服务。

4. Blogging

4、博客

It seems as if everyone has a blog these days, but having an online space to write out your ideas can actually impress future bosses. Crafting well-written pieces on a blog can show strong writing proficiency and a self-starting attitude.

虽然似乎如今人人都有自己的博客，但是拥有在线空间来写出你的想法确实能给未来的老板们留下好印象。在博客上制作精心书写的博文能展示较强的写作熟练度和积极向上的内心想法。

Blogging also helps you find your own distinctive voice and writing style, which takes time and effort to develop, especially depending on your field. It even gives you the chance to shine by showing off awesome HTML designs and features.

写博客能帮你发现独特的声音和写作风格，这些需要花时间和精力来养成，特别是基于你行业的东西。通过展现出众的网页设计特色，你还能绽放光芒。

5. Project Management

5、项目管理

The key to being a leader is a mixture of specific skills and practice. Mastering project management, or at least learning the basics, can help even if your field isn't business-related.

成为领导者的关键是具体的技能和实践相结合。即使你的行业与商业无关，精通项目管理或者至少掌握基本的项目管理知识也能帮助你。

Learning how to work with a budget, assign tasks and manage necessary paperwork are useful skills for many different vocations. It may be difficult for some, but it doesn't hurt to try to see if this is a role that suits you.

对许多不同的职业来说，学习如何依据预算工作、分配任务和管理必要的文字工作都是有用的技能。可能对有些人是困难的，但尝试一个角色是否适合自己也不会给你带来什么伤害。

If you're entering the job market or a new industry, you may find your resume lacking in skills and experience — especially if you just graduated college. It's tempting to lie, but if a new employer ever asked you to use any of those fake skills, like producing a video or speaking Danish, you're suddenly in very hot water.
