求职英语:如何合理利用招聘会
英语课
1. Develop a commercial. 做商业广告。
You have 30seconds to get an employer interested in you. If you can't, they'll move on. Practice a 30-second commercial to introduce yourself and your career goals. Be short and concise 1, but add a specific instance to grab attention. The following is how an American student "sells" herself at a career fair.
E.g. "Hello, Ms. Smith. I'm Samantha Ward 2 and I've been interested in Omega Tron ever since I read that Business Week article about your new multimedia 3 software program. I'm a computer science major with an art minor 4, and I'm really excited about combining these two interests. I've actually developed an interactive 5 educational program to teach children how to draw. Would you like to see a copy of the website I designed? 网2. Look professional. 职业形象Always remove tongue or eyebrow 6 piercings (no more than one earring 7 in each ear), and hide tattoos 8. Once you know the culture of the company, then you can start to add (or not) these items to your morning toilette. It's always better to err 9 on the side of caution and be more conservative than less (因谨慎出岔儿总比因大胆出岔儿好). 3. Bring at least 50 resumes. 带上至少50份个人简历Cover letters are not necessary at the fair, but don't risk running out of resumes.
4. Bring a bag, a notebook and a pen. 带一个包,一个笔记本和一支笔The bag is to carry literature and giveaways (文献和赠品). The notebook should be professional with space for safekeeping of those resumes (no crumbled 10 copies, please.) and a notebook. Bring two pens——just in case.
5. Get enough rest. 休息好Get a good night's sleep so you're rested and energized 11 for the fair. Eat a good meal before you go to prevent tummy grumbles 12 while you chat. 58学习6. Do your homework. 做好应聘准备Check out the websites of the participating companies so you're familiar with them and what they are looking for, if possible.
7. Arrive early. 提前到达Career fairs attract hundreds, some times thousands of people. Get there early, grab the directory, and plan your attack. 58en.com8. Start in the back. 反其道而行之Many people get stuck in the stampede at the front. Make your way to the back where there are representatives waiting for someone to appear. 58en.com9. Pick up literature and a business card. 拿宣传品和商务名片Take literature you know you'll read from companies you're interested in. Otherwise your arm will ache carrying around all that stuff. Don't forget a business card so you can follow up with the recruiter later. Write down on the back some notes about your conversation.
10. Show your interest. 表现你的兴趣Give a firm handshake and smile with eye contact. That's a great first impression that shows confidence. Ask questions. Nothing is more boring than a one-sided conversation. Send a thank-you note. To make a real impression, send it soon after the fair to the companies that most piqued 13 your interest. Follow up. Don't wait for companies to call——call them first. Set up informational interviews or a company tour.
