Career Training 求职信
得体的求职信是一把金钥匙。求职信一般由三部分组成:开头、主体和结尾。开头部分包括称呼和引言,称呼要恰当,说明应聘缘由和目的。引言的主要作用是尽量引起对方的兴趣,引人注目。
主体部分是求职信的重点,要简明扼要,并具有针对性,突出自己的特点,并努力使自己的描叙与所求职位要求一致,切勿夸大其辞或不着边际,外企招聘人员尤其重视这一点。
结尾部分要把你想得到工作的迫切心情表达出来,请用人单位尽快答复你并给予面试的机会,语气要热情、诚恳、有礼貌。
(1)外企求职信一般要用外语写,主要是英语,或准备好中、英文两份材料。写求职信的过程本身也就反映出了你的外语水平,故应尽量做到语言规范,符合外文习惯,减少语法错误。
(2)求职信要有针对性。针对不同企业、不同职位,求职信的内容要有所变化,侧重点有所不同,使对方觉得你的经历和素质与所聘职位要求相一致,因为企业招聘所需要的不是最好的员工,而是最适合其所聘工作的人。
(3)外企求职信中不要流露出不自信的思想,外企忌讳的是不自信,这与中国传统的“谦虚是美德”略有不同,应充分强调自己的长处和技能,对自己较重要的经历和实践要较详细地叙述。
(4)要本着诚实的原则,不能无中生有,自吹自擂。因为西方人认为诚实守信是一个人的第一美德。
(5)在写外企求职信时,应注意写“怎么干”,这比“干什么”更重要。比如你担任过校学生会主席,不要光写头衔,更重要的是,写出你是如何担任这个职位的,组织了哪些活动,有什么成绩,怎么组织这些活动,达到何种既定目标。因为外企重视的不是你的身份,而是你如何在所任职位上发挥你的才能。他们大都以此来判断你的能力和潜力是否能胜任其所聘职位的工作。
