    英國搵工 - 如何預備成功的求職信 Cover Letter?

    當您在英國申請工作時,僱主通常會要求提供簡歷和求職信。在大約三段中,您的求職信應突出說明您的求職動機及表示自己非常適合這份工作的動機,希望加入該公司並作出貢獻,藉此激勵招聘經理安排您進行面試。

    什麼是求職信 (Cover Letter)?

    您的求職信是您的「個人介紹」,提供有關您為什麼適合空缺的信息。求職信是與您的簡歷一起發送的文件/檔案,用作補充在您的簡歷中沒有提及的重點,並提供與您申請的職位的相關詳細信息,包括相關的專業資格、經驗、個人特質及相關理念或遠景等資料。

    由於您的求職信是雇主或招聘人員在查看您的工作申請時首先看到的內容之一,因此請確保它能突出或顯示您與申請職位的相關技能和經驗。一封出色的求職信可以讓您獲得面試機會。

    我應該如何預備我的求職信?

    求職信是與您的簡歷一起提供的專業文檔,因此應以商務信函樣的格式顯示。

    在預備求職信時,應確保它使用與您的簡歷相匹配的可讀字體,以便雇主快速查看您的基本信息。請使用10或12字型大小的字體,如Calibri,Arial,Verdana或Times New Roman等字體。請勿在求職信中包含圖像或藝術字體。

    另外,求職信的主內容應該使用Miscrosoft Word 中的左右對齊設定。
    justify

    建議的求職信格式

    • 日期和聯繫方式 (Date and contact information) – 此部份可在電郵中省略,但在PDF文件中建議加上
    • 稱呼/問候 (Salutation/greeting)
    • Ref: Insert the job title/job reference that you are applying for
    • 首段 (Introduction)
    • 第2段 (2nd Paragraph – Why them?) (第二及第三段落可按個人喜好轉換次序)
    • 第3段 (3rd Paragraph – Why you?)
    • 結束語 (Ending)
    • 簽名 (Sign letter)
     

    1.日期和聯繫方式 (Date and contact information)

    求職信的右邊:

    Date – Day/Month/Year (e.g. 25 February 2021)

    Your Name
    Your Address
    Your City, County,
    Postcode
    Your Phone Number

    Hiring Manager’s Name
    Company Name

    2. 稱呼/問候 (Salutation/greeting)

      1. 使用「CAR」方法 – Context, Actions, Results

      e.g. In my last position as bartender, in the busy ‘Newcastle Bar’, I interacted well with customers, successfully handling sometimes challenging situations with tact and good humour. I became adept at using my interpersonal skills, particularly in training and developing newer members of staff.

      2. 使用數字和具體結果來證明您所的行動所帶來的正面影響

    其他例子:

    Past experience has provided me many opportunities to implement profitable product-management strategies, including those associated with pricing, production, distribution, as well as advertising for existing and new products.  Specifically in reference to food products, I have been involved in all aspects of product development and management to obtain accredited product approval. As a Product Manager for ABC Company, I coordinate all product development for a food supply corporation with annual sales in excess of £200 million. Also, I served in similar capacities for CDE Ltd, the manufacturer of healthful drink products. My product designs,  production planning, and marketing techniques have been recognised as consistently innovative and, most important, profitable. Over the years, every product I have been associated with met or exceeded annual profit goals.
