常常看到 ptt 上 po 文求修改英文自傳,有些的自傳讓人很頭昏。試著以中文想看看,你的中文自傳會寫:「我的名字叫XXX,家裡排行老大。我畢業於 XX 大學。」這種近似國小作文?
自傳的重點在於補充履歷上沒有,但又能張顯你個人獨特之處!! 所以姓名、家庭背景、學歷、甚至在某家公司工作幾年,這些已經出現在履歷上的訊息,不需特別再重覆交待。你真正要著重的要點在於:(1) 為什麼你投入這個領域? (2) 你有什麼樣的特質或經驗可以證明你有能力勝任這類型的工作? (3) 你的短期、長期職涯目標是什麼? (4) 你能為公司帶來什麼益處? 或這類型工作能為你職涯有什麼幫助?
每個人書寫風格不一樣,重點是好的求職自傳要能回答上面所提的四個問題。以下是我個人的風格:
第一段,簡單介紹你的工作,但強調這工作的重要性或獨特性
I worked for X years for XXX (公司), one of the leading companies in XXX (產業) industry in Taiwan (or worldwide). I supported (工作主要內容1) In my position, it was absolutely essential to (工作主要內容2)
如果你還是學生的話,
I graduated from XX University with a Bachelor's (or Master’s) degree in XXX. I specialized in XXX (主修或擅長學科) and also have experience with XXX (第二擅長學科). In my graduation project (or master’s thesis), I…..
第二段,回答為什麼你投入這個領域 (工作) ?
如果是你轉職,最好的方式把餅畫大,也就是現在的工作你所遇到的局限,所以追求其他更好的機會
However, in the course of performing my duties, I encountered challenges….. (醞釀轉職原因) and realized that (醞釀轉職原因 2). For these reasons above, I…. (選擇這個時點,尋求怎樣的工作機會)
如果你還是新鮮的肝,建議的寫法是
While studying in XX University, I (醞釀選這行業原因) and realized that (醞釀轉職選這行業原因 2). Therefore, I intend to apply my XX skills to XX industry in the role of XX.
第三段,證明你有能力勝任這類型的工作
第四段,回答短期、長期職涯目標
針對轉職者,由於各領域和職位的目標差異很大,我無法給出參考範例, 但新鮮的肝職涯短期目標的寫法不外乎:
1) My short term goal is to find a position where I can use the knowledge and strength I have. I want to participate in the growth and success of the company I work for.
2) I want to see myself as a XX (職位) in XX (產業) where by with all my skills and enhanced learning I shall be able to make valuable and meaningful contribution to the company.
3) My short term goal is to become a XX (職位). I've learned the basics of XX (領域) during my 4 year studying and hence I am raring to take on challenging projects.
2) I want to see myself as a XX (職位) in XX (產業) where by with all my skills and enhanced learning I shall be able to make valuable and meaningful contribution to the company.
3) My short term goal is to become a XX (職位). I've learned the basics of XX (領域) during my 4 year studying and hence I am raring to take on challenging projects.
而長期目標的寫法
1) Ultimately, I’d like to assume more management responsibilities and get involved in product strategy. But most importantly, I want to work for the company where I can build a career.
第五段,能為公司帶來什麼益處
對於轉職者,最好的書寫方式是將強調你過去幫公司達成了什麼,具體以數字表示成果,然後接者寫能為公司帶了怎麼的益處
1) I can contribute my ability to XXX (領域) For example, I….(過去經驗) , which led to an X% increase in XXX. I would love to bring not only this method, but my general organizational skills, to this job at the company.
1) I can contribute my ability to XXX (領域) For example, I….(過去經驗) , which led to an X% increase in XXX. I would love to bring not only this method, but my general organizational skills, to this job at the company.
2) My previous work experience included XXX (領域) in many areas, including (過去經驗1). At my previous company, I (過去經驗2). I can bring not only my ideas from my previous job, but my general passion for XXX (領域), to the company.
而新鮮的肝也可以將過去學習或研究成果帶入上面所舉的範例。
