外企求職時如何準備RESUME |
|
|
一份出色的Resume,是向外企求職的關鍵之一。不了解有關的常識和程序,不花費相當的心思來展示,以有純正嫻熟的英文功底,決不能獲得單位的青睞。在一大堆錯誤百出、英文表達能力低劣或平庸,毫無針對性和創造性的Resume中,你的那份若能讓人眼睛一亮,成功的機會必將大大增加,以下我試著結合一個具體的例子給出說明和評述。 |
|
Balance Sheet: |
|
基本方法選取適當的工作后,必須看清招聘廣告上所列出的每項要求,再將自己的學歷、能力與興趣逐一與之比較,作一張balance sheet. |
|
例如,一則關于marketing management trainee和job requirement是這樣寫的: |
|
We are looking for a competent person to fill the captioned position: |
|
University graduate majors in Marketing Management. Prepared to develop career in the commercial field |
|
-outgoing personality |
|
-Able to communicate with different levels |
|
-Good knowledge in PC operations -Proficiency in written and spoken English/Mandarin |
|
則你相應地考慮自己的qualification的選擇和表述,如你可寫(與上列各項對應): |
|
-University graduate with major in Marketing |
|
-Having actively participated in Business club's activities and learned accounting and management |
|
-Good in communication with people and like a lot of out door activities know how to tackle with people from all walks of life |
|
-Skillful in operating Words,Excel,Lotus1-2-3,etc |
|
-Fluent in English and studied advanced level of Mandarin |
|
這個方法的好處是可讓求職者清楚了解該職位是否適合自己,而本身資料又是否切合要求,而且,明白了各項要求后,就可依據每一點在履歷表上重點提出自己在該方面的強項。突出賣點(selling point),將之放在最吸引別人的地方,使招聘者一眼可見,有利于present自己。 |
|
工作經驗的陳述 |
|
工作經驗是一份resume中令招聘者相當感興趣的一項內容,善加措詞是必不可忽視的要務。 |
|
剛畢業,何來工作經驗?其實,客下讀書時的兼職、實習、實踐,以至所曾參加的一些課外活動-協助助出版學?、舉辦活動,展覽、宣傳……都可算是工作經驗、不過,表達起來要有針對性地展開,列出那些與所找工作有關連的項目重點介紹,必要時更可使用summary的方式,給招聘者深入的了解。 |
|
我手頭這份材料的相關表這實在簡陋呆板: |
|
1996/7-1996/8 General Clerk, IBM |
1995/7-1995/8 Account clerks, Manley Toy Trading |
1994/6-1994/8Salesgirl,Esprit. |
倘能換一種表述如: |
|
Three years of job experience in different positions have offered me opportunities to understand different job aspects. |
|
-As a General Clerk(IBM),Accounts clerk (Manley Toy Trading),I have learned how to prepare purchasing orders, place orders, handle accounting mattery, check voucher,……also(Salesgirl, Esprin)developing the technique of sellina, serving and stocking. |
|
豈非能更好地突出個人工作經驗,吸引招聘者的注意力! |
|
Job Objective |
|
通常,一般求者只會在履歷表開端簡單地寫上所應征的職位-"Position Applied: Management Trainee"或"I am appling for……"其實,若懂得利用這小小空間寫出自己的事業目標(job objective),能顯示出你對該工作的熱誠及憧憬,能令招聘者對你加倍留意。 |
|
比如這個不錯的例子job objective To begin as a Marketing Management Trainee, with opportunity to advance to executive level and contribute to the development of firm. |
|
其實,這位外企人士所談的關于準備RESUME的技巧,完全可以應用到中文簡歷上來。各位讀者可以嘗試一下。 |
