DSE放榜后,同学们都是时候决定自己的路向,然而,升学并不是唯一出路,及早找到自己的兴趣,踏足职场建立自己的事业路,未尝不是一件好事。CV固然要写,但求职信又重要吗?怎样可以有限的经验去吸引雇主?
人力资源公司Robert Half,有约4年招聘人才经验的Senior Recruitment Manager Hanson Chan表示,求职信要精简,以约250字内的内容,吸引雇主聘用。他会教大家求职信的内容铺排,增加同学获聘的机会。
(文末设参考范例)

电影《何者》中有情节指应征者在见工时的自我介绍长度,应大约如twitter中的status一样不要超过140字,其实求职信亦是同样原理,一切都要精简!(电影《何者》剧照)

Hanson指,虽然与CV相比,求职信的重要性相对地没那么高,但有求职信可以令雇主清楚知道你的求职目的,印象分都会稍为有所增力。而求职信可以分为以下4个部分撰写。

1.【职位及公司名称】

求职信起始一定要写对公司名及自己申请的职位,然后可以简阐述申请该工作的原因。(资料图片/由被访者提供)

Hanson表示,求职信切忌让人觉得你只是copy and paste,所以起始一定要写对公司名及自己申请的职位,以表尊重,然后才简单阐述申请该职位的原因。

2.【个人背景】

短短重点提及自己的背景,例如就读的学校、于校内参加过什么学会和校外有参加过什么活动,不妨简单列举1至2个例子,令人知道你有意扩阔眼界

3.【自我推销】

Hanson指求职信着重自我推销的部分,即是要让雇主知道自己是适合做这份工作。“以篮球队队长为例,他可以简述自己参与球队时做过的贡献,例如曾经试过当时没有经费,自己试过带领大家搞活动筹钱,以事例说明自己有领导才能及对筹办活动的热诚,若有机会获聘,定会对工作倾注同样的热情,并相信自己能胜任此工作。”他指应尽力以曾做过的职务来突显自己的长处和性格,以客观的字眼描述,以示个人十分适合这工作。

4.【总结sell热情】

最后可以做一个小总结,总结自己的能力和对工作的前景有所期望。Hanson表示,要令雇主知道自己有信心及对品牌有感情,“如果应征做售货员,可以在信内提到自己一向很欣赏此品牌的设计及款式,并希望能参与其中。”

Hanson表示,CV和求职信最好采用英文撰写,他亦强调,千万千万不要错文法!
