🔎第三階段 : 應徵職缺
🔺Part 1 : cover letter怎麼寫的5個重點
Cover letter是指在投職缺時，連同履歷和作品集一起寄出的一封信，他是第一眼會被看到的東西，也就是你應徵的第一個門面，關係到你的履歷、作品集會不會被點開來。
Cover letter的主要重點應是敘明自己是如何「符合職缺需求且合適」，並策略性地說服公司「這個人值得花時間來面試」。
1️⃣ 展現你對職缺公司已有了解且相當有興趣
他們在乎的是----你了解我們公司嗎? 為什麼你想加入我們公司? 為了回答以上問題， 研究準備工作不可少，請竭盡你的資源，無論是網路上搜尋或詢問在該公司任職的朋友、老師，徹底研究了解你想要投職缺的這家公司，他們處理的領域是? 做過什麼案子? 公司理念是什麼?
2️⃣ 職缺需求看清楚: 放大優點
公司徵人是必一定有他的需求，請把徵才廣告詳細閱讀--工作內容有哪些? 必須要會用的軟體是?有什麼技能或經驗會加分?
景觀設計要處理的層面很廣，尤其職場新鮮人可能擅長的東西不那麼全面，或是某些軟體不熟練等，因此在cover letter中可以強調你的優點，哪些部分你很擅長，且正好符合該公司的領域，或是正好某個職缺需求中的技能/軟體你相當擅長。
3️⃣ 價值+符合需求= 你就是他們要找的人
綜上所述，cover letter最核心的就是必須展現出「你的價值」，並明確點出「為什麼 他們要用你」的種種客觀條件。畢業生除了要能符合職缺需求外，也要讓人相信你有-- 願意學習的上進心、可栽培的潛能; 若是已經有工作經驗者，可進一步提到你的企圖 心--- 你想要的是什麼? 你的加入能帶給公司什麼?
4️⃣ 毛遂自薦-- 自己創造職缺
若對某間公司有興趣但沒有開缺，你還是可以寄出cover letter和履歷、作品集，展現出你的強烈 興趣與企圖心，往好處想，你就是唯一一個求職者---沒有其他競爭對手!
有很多時候會有意想不到的收穫。建議可以等1-2禮拜後去電，或是再寄一封follow-up email詢問狀 況。
5️⃣ 簽證狀態及需求
若已有簽證能在英國工作或實習者，別忘記在cover letter最後提及你現在的簽證種類、可以工作的時數、簽證到期日等資訊; 但如果你需要工作簽證者，除了主動說明外，不主動提起也是個選項，與其讓公司因為簽證問題拒你於門外，何不先用履歷和作品集打動他們，說服公司你是值得的人選比較重要。

🔎Stage 3 : Applying for a job position
🔺Part 1 : How to write a cover letter + 5 key points
The cover letter is a key document sent in along with your resume and portfolio for a job application. It is the first item employers would see when reviewing your job application, and hence their first impression of you. The purpose of the cover letter is to grab their attention and convince them to have a look at your resume and portfolio. The contents should give an insight of your attitude, achievements, skills, experience and why you are the best candidate for the job position. You need to convince the employer that you fit in with their company culture and that you are worth the time and effort for an interview.
1️⃣ Display your understanding and interest for the job position.
Few key questions employers ask when recruiting – Do you know our company philosophy, values and culture? Why do you want to join our company? They want to know if you are genuinely interested in them, and motivated to perform if hired.
To answer these questions, prior research and preparation is indispensable to do well. Tap into online resources, talks and the network of people – peers/seniors you know that work for the company, colleagues and teachers to thoroughly familiarize and understand the company – How does the company function? How do the teams work? What type of projects do they deal with? Which projects have they completed?
2️⃣ Understand the job requirements: Magnify your strengths.
Read in detail the company job posting advertisements – What specific needs and requirements are they looking for? What basic software skills do they require? What additional skills and experience would value-add to your application?
Landscape architects need to deal with a wide range of jobscope. For young professionals whom just joined the field, it may be tough to display a comprehensive amount of matured skillset. As such, emphasize your strengths in the cover letter and abilities that you are confident will meet the job requirements.
3️⃣ Value + Meeting requirements = YOU ARE THE CHOSEN ONE!
In summary, the purpose of the cover letter is to show your "value" and clearly point out to the employer why they should hire you. Fresh graduates should not only be able to meet the basic requirements of the job position, but also display your thirst to learn, goals and that you have potential. If you already have work experience, you can mention your ambitions – What to you want to achieve? What value can you add to the company?
4️⃣ Self-recommendation – Creating your own job vacancy.
If you are interested in a particular company that is not hiring, you can still send in your application documents to show your strong interest and initiative. Do not be afraid as there likely won’t be other competitors, you might also gain unexpected benefits instead.
After sending in your application, it is recommended to wait for 1-2 weeks before calling, or sending another email for a follow-up action.
5️⃣ VISA status and requirements.
Even if you already have a visa to work or intern in the UK, do mention these details at the end of the cover letter – Current visa type, eligible working hours, visa expiry date, etc.
If you require a work visa, some people suggest to be explicit about it while some suggest to not bring up the matter until the company ask due to the fear of their application being directly rejected prior to considerations.
However, rather than spending time worrying over visa employment issues, why not work on your resume and portfolio to impress and convince the company that you are a candidate worthy for the effort to hire in the first place.
面試follow up email 在 [心得] 應屆菜鳥的求職經驗<面試後續可做的> - 精華區Salary 的推薦與評價
今天是我最後一天暑假了哈 所以再來PO一篇吧
看到很多人還在努力找工作當中
希望這篇能夠對大家有幫助囉
這是我自己的經驗，我想應該還可以適用在其它情況
這篇要講的是，當你不論結束一場愉快的面試也好，尷尬的面試也好
你後可以做的 follow up 的動作有哪些
我相信有爬文或者是常常看版的大家應該都看到過相關討論
只是在這裡我想說就整理一下我自己知道的方法吧
-----------------------------------------------------------------
面試常常考的就是臨場反應
不是每個問題都會跟你之前設想的 或是碰過的一樣
儘管臨場大家不盡然可以百分百完美的展現自己
秀出自己應有的水準讓面試官"信服"
但是當你結束面談後
你便有多餘的時間可以思考自己剛才的表現
有沒有不足的地方
有沒有哪個問題剛剛回答的不夠充分? 可以有待補強?
或是哪個問題剛才竟然回答了蠢答案 >"<~
這些都可以透過後續的動作
做一些彌補吧
雖說不一定有用 但是試試也無妨吧
至少你有努力過 至少你有盡力
這樣事後要是還是爭取不到那個工作機會
你可心安理得的覺得 我已經做過努力了
否則別說你真的都盡力了 都是人家不要你之類的 = =
(這種消極的想法真的很要不得...)
1. 面試結束時記得跟對方要名片或是留個EMAIL方便日後聯絡，詢問面試結果
(通常很多面試官，會在一開始的時候就遞給你名片)
不要小看這張紙，小小薄薄的可是很重要喔~
接下來大家應該都知道吧，如果真的喜歡就更要積極囉 (如果對公司沒意思...可省了)
回來馬上發面試感謝函，感謝對方百忙之中抽空跟你面談
(當然對方到底忙不忙我們是不清楚啦，但是他畢竟花時間跟你面談了不是嗎
時間是很寶貴的呢！)
感謝函的內容就是重點了
剛剛有什麼不堪回首的，需要加強補足的，就在這個時候了
這是第二個可以表現自己的機會，要好好把握才是
(當然不是要你很誇張，比如明明英文就很菜，現在硬要說自己其實超好的之類的
你以為對方傻了嗎...我想大家應該不至於不了解這點 ^"^)
剛剛一時緊張，回答的不夠符合邏輯
現在就可以好好的補強
又或者可以針對剛剛跟對方討論的議題
去搜集一下資訊了解一下，順便在回信中提到自己的看法
這樣人家應該也會覺得，你是有心的!
如果大家不嫌棄的話，在此附上自己常用的版本
因為一開始設定好樣板，之後就不斷套用其實很方便
=================================================
某小姐/先生您好,
我是XXX，(今天早上10點)到貴公司應徵OOOO一職，很謝謝您撥控跟我面談，
也很謝謝您的指導，讓我對公作內容及公司的作業能夠有更清楚的認識。
以往有過許多不同的活動經驗，像是ＸＸ方面，我們ＸＸＸ在ＸＸＸ中所扮演的腳色，
無非就是OOOOO，對外OOOOO，對內OOOOO。
這段我是解釋自己的相關社團活動經驗與所應徵的工作間有何相似性及關連
畢業自資管系，本身不排斥程式及電腦相關，或是文書處理這類靜態的工作內容，凡是有
需要支援的地方，我絕對樂意也非常願意去學習跟配合公司的需求。
這段我是再次強調自己所學與他們所要求的工作內容兼有何相關，
也順便強調自己的配合意願高，畢竟公司想要找的當然是配合度高的
最好哪裡需要支援，都可以配合協助的人，公司最怕那種"我只要做這種單一的事情"
然後這個也不想碰，那個也不想學，其它的也做不來的人
今天聽您介紹工作內容，可以了解到這份工作的層面相當多元，我相信自己可以從這樣
的實務經驗中觀察、學習並成長，畢竟唯有先廣泛的多接觸多吸收，才能從做中累積出
自己的能力。
這段可以很攏統的套入對方今天跟你有提到哪些方面的工作內容
或是可以提出一些今天討論過的議題，做深入一些的論述
要是有任何回答不足的，也可以在這段，或是自己再增加下一段作討論
以下這段跟上面那段可以自行擇一，同為範例僅供參考
------------------------------------------
今天聽您介紹工作內容，涵括了整個從去跟客戶DEMO到擬製、追蹤合約的流程，相信可以
從這份工作中獲益良多，我除了對這份工作深感興趣之外，也因為嚮往行銷企劃方面發展
，希望能從業務方面切入，所以非常希望能夠有這樣的工作機會來學習更多業務方面的經
驗。
------------------------------------------
我相信自己能夠接受貴公司的考驗，完成貴公司交付的任務，希望能有機會進入貴
公司服務，貢獻所長。
非常感謝您！
結尾都差不多吧...自己參考修改就可以

===========================================================================
有時候，臨場用英文跟你對答，自己因為緊張沒有實力全發
回來也可以用英文的面試信，再次強調跟突顯自己的英文能力
希望可以給對方留下深刻印象
在此節省大家像我當初搜尋資料，自己苦思的時間
所以再附上我所使用的版本並提供一個不錯的網站
(有需要參考英文自傳的，都可以上這個網址參考) 我覺得蠻受用的

======================================================================
有時候對方也中意你的話，就會回信
我現在的這份工作就是這樣自己爭取來的
當初去面試感覺很愉快，也很喜歡
回來後用英文寄感謝信
(面試當中有考過英文對答的我才會這樣做，算是加強吧)
(如果面談當中沒有用到英文，就請自行斟酌有沒有必要用英文)
(我通常都沒有，就用中文寄就好)
對方原本在面談結束時，說一個禮拜以內會有結果的，有機會的話會再有第二次面談
結果回覆我EMAIL的時候說，"請允許我安排第二次面談"
算是加快對方給我的回覆時間吧
後來等了幾天沒有接到進一步消息(大約等了三天)
加上我當時還有其它的面試也在安排中
所以我就再次寄MAIL給對方 詢問第二次的面談是否已經安排了?
若沒有的話，我接下來的哪幾天什麼時候會有空，不知道對方是否方便?
(算是主動出擊吧，總不能永遠靜待消息，若被拒絕也就算了沒有損失呀)
對方很爽快的答應隔天早有空，想跟我面談
後來第二次面談便敲定了OFFER
但我因為同時還有其他家有待考量，加上對方也願意給我一周好好考慮
所以我是事後才給予回覆的
以上經驗希望可以提供大家參考
我當然也有碰過主動詢問進度，卻碰壁的狀況
(比如複試要跟他們主管碰面，主管行程難喬等等)
2. 總之要記得 follow up 尤其是自己想要的工作
工作都是自己爭取來的，不是天上掉下來的
大家共勉之，期望大家都到自己心儀的工作！
:)
也希望更多有成功經驗的人也可以不吝分享
