前面和大家示範,求職信第一段表示對職缺興趣的寫法,以及第二段如何描述專業技能。接下來是其他段的寫法。
第三段:你的「人格特質」或其他「職場技能」
原文:
From my placements, I gained a great appreciation for a sound staff, teamwork, and respect in the work place. Also, these experiences have shaped my work ethic and my definition of a successful practice. I am open to new ideas and techniques and enjoy improvising and approaching problems with a flexible and pragmatic attitude.
修改:
Beyond the clinical skills, I learned how to communicate with clients, work well with others and support team members. These qualities have become a big part of me and transformed my view of a practice. With my can-do work attitude, I am certain I can be a strong contributor within a team environment.
說明:
1. 這段的用字遣詞和寫法與前幾段出入頗大,可以從線上軟體得知是從其他地方節錄出來(http://www.plagiarismchecker.com/)。 在國外找工作的朋友,避免這類太正點的句型、段落。
2. 改寫的方向是強調作者的合群能力和配合度,尤其適合剛畢業學生。
3. 有工作經驗的朋友,可以強調你的領導統御、談判、人脈、分析、組織、規劃、談判、社群等能力,但注意,要能吻合徵人啟事裡的條件才去描述。
第四段:你想專研的領域或理想的雇主
原文:
When I was in Dove for my first placement, I was intrigued by the generally inadequate passive immunity transfer in calf in dairy farms. I believe it is a big issue for every dairy farmer. Additionally, I have strong interest in emergency medicine in small animals because of the intensive following-up and animal caring, most importantly, clients’ rewarding happiness.
修改:
My areas of career interest include the general inadequate passive immunity transfer in calves and emergency medicine in small animals. The clinic I wish to work for will expect me of high standards of animal care and allow me to continue to grow in professional skills and knowledge.
說明:
1. 修改的重點在摘要出兩個作者想專攻的領域,並省掉原因部份(可以在面試時發揮)。
2. 劃線部分是新增內容,帶進徵人啟事裡的關鍵字。
3. 這段尤其適合剛畢業的學生或學術界的學者。
4. 有經驗的朋友,先打聽該雇主發展的方向是否和你的專業領域一致,在決定要不要加這段。
第五段:爭取面試機會
原文:
I am looking forward a chance to introduce myself in person and a visit to your clinic. I can be contactable on my mobile: 02 2222 3333. I will follow up with a phone call next week. Thank you for your time to consider my application. I look forward to hearing from you soon and meeting you.
修改:
I look forward to further discussing my interest in your practice at your convenience. Please feel free to contact me at 02 2222 3333.
說明:最後一段就像第一段,以最少字、句表達你想面試的意圖。不論你寫多少表達你的誠意或謝意,對雇主不會有太大的影響,因為大部份人都寫差不多的內容。
我相信這封求職信還有其他的寫法,或其他修改方式,但你也知道沒有所謂最好的求職信和履歷,因為它們的好與不好相當主觀,但起碼你能做的是讓你的內容有重點,字裡行間加入廣告裡的關鍵字,並回答為什麼勝任某個工作。還有,針對不同的徵人啟事,要適度的調整你的履歷和求職信。
