第一篇:外企如此看求职信
惠普:附求职信没有必要
中国惠普有限公司人力资源总监说,附求职信没有必要,我不知道求职信意味什么。我们也看到过一些求职信,里面有一些豪言壮语,一些很浪漫的话或表决心的话,什么“给我一个支点,我将撬起地球”,“让我们风雨同舟”,“给我一个机会,我会还你一个惊喜”。我觉得应聘者应该对症下药,如果你去的是一个广告公司,你比较有创意,文字比较华丽,可能会有一些帮助。而我们这儿是搞工程的,没有必要搞这些东西。
富士通:有没有求职信没关系
富士通认为不附求职信没有什么关系。因为富士通看的是应聘者的条件符不符合职位的要求,如果求职者愿意写也没有关系,但公司并不会因为有无求职信而左右对应聘者的判断。
欧莱雅:求职信作用不大
欧莱雅(中国)人力资源总监说,求职信的作用是不大的。人力资源部要处理大量的简历,我们的筛选标准是根据事实依据,比如看应聘者的教育程度、工作背景和专业水平等是否符合岗位需求,我们不会看重应聘者的语言措辞。
ibm:写得不好不如不写
ibm(中国)有限公司大中华区招聘经理说,求职信如果写得好,确实能吸引注意力,附上也可,如果写得不好那就不如不写。一般求职信都是非常简短地介绍一下自己的特点以及希望应聘的职位,还会有一些问候之类的话。以前这在国际上是非常通行的做法,在简历前面用很短的文字吸引招聘者的注意。但是,近几年来我看到的从美国校园来的简历好像都没有附求职信。一般都是一个e—mail,然后写上几句话,附上一份自己的简历,仅此而已。
微软:不强调附求职信
微软并不强调附求职信,关键看应聘者如何在求职信中介绍自己。如果要附上求职信,一定要在上面很清楚地说明自己的特点,罗列出自己的强项,以及可以引起主考官或面试人员兴奋的东西,如果求职者很泛泛地写了一封求职信,那么很容易就会被翻过去直接看简历了,起不到求职信真正的作用。
第二篇:外企求职信特点及要求
外企求职信有什么特点及要求呢?
(1)外企求职信一般要用外语写,主要是英语,或准备好中、英文两份材料。写求职信的过程本身也就反映出了你的外语水平,故应尽量做到语言规范、符合外文习惯,减少语法错误。
(2)求职信要有针对性。针对不同企业不同职位,求职信的内容要有所变化,侧重点有所不同,使对方觉得你的经历和素质与所聘职位要求相一致,因为外企招聘所需要的不是最好的员工,而是最适合其所聘工作的人。
(3)外企求职信中不要流露出不自信的思想,外企忌讳的是不自信,这与中国传统的“谦虚是美德”略有不同,在写外企求职信中,不必太谦虚,应充分强调启己的长处和技能,对自己较重要的经历和实践要较详细的叙述。
(4)要本着诚实不欺的原由,不能无中生有,自吹自擂。因为西方人认为诚实守信是一个人的第一美德。有一个外企应聘者在写求职信中写到自己爱好兴趣时,写了喜欢旅游和赛艇,其人实际上很少外出,对赛艇更是一无所知,但为了以具有冒险精神及刺激性的形象吸引外企招聘者故意加了这两条。结果在后来面试中,主试者谈到自己也是个赛艇爱好者,但对赛艇转弯技术却不甚了解,想与该应聘者切磋。应聘者立即面红耳赤,手足无措,不由得不承认其对赛艇一无所知。主试者不满其弄虚作假立即拒绝录用他。
(5)在写外企求职信中,经注意写“怎么干”这比”干什么”更重要。比如你担任过校学生会主席,不要光写头衔,更重要的是你是如何担任这个职位的,组织了哪些活动,有什么成绩,怎么组织这些活动,达到既定目标。因为外企重视的不是你的身份,而是你如何在所任职位上发挥你的才能,他们大都以此来判断你的能力和潜力是否能胜任其所聘职位的工作。
一般求职信是自我描绘的立体画像,是求职的第一阶段,其目的同个人大学生个人简历一样,主要是引起招聘者的注意争取面试机会,但同个人大学生个人简历又略有不同,求职信是针对特定的个人而写,而大学生个人简历的写作却是针对特定的工作岗位,求职信可以说是对大学生个人简历的补充和概述。
求职信一般由三部分组成:开头、主体和结尾。开头部分包括称呼和引言,称呼要恰当,引言的主要作用是尽量引起对方的兴趣看完你的材料,并自然进入主题部分,开头要人注目,说明应聘缘由和目的。
主体部分是求职信的重点,简明扼要并有针对性地概述自己的大学生个人简历内容,突出自己的特点,并努力使自己的描叙与所求职位要求一致,切勿夸大其辞或不着边际,外企招聘人员尤其重视这一点。
结尾部分要做到令人口味,把你想得到工作的迫切心情表达出来,请用人单位尽快答复你并给予面试的机会,语气要热情、诚恳、有礼貌。
第三篇:外企面试的基本英语问题.doc
外企面试的基本英语问题
1. why are you looking (or why did you leave you last job)?
this should be a straightforward question to answer, but it can trip you up. presumably you are looking for a new job (or any job) because you want to advance your career and get a position that allows you to grow as a person and an employee. it’s not a good idea to mention money here, it can make you sound mercenary. and if you are in the unfortunate situation of having been downsized, stay positive and be a***rief as pos***le about it. if you were fired, you’ll need a good explanation. but once again, stay positive.
2. tell me what you know about this company.
does your homework before you go to any interview? whether it’***eing the vp of marketing or the mailroom clerk, you should know about the company or business you’re going to work for. has this company been in the news lately? who are the people in the company you should know about? does the background work, it will make you stand out as someone who comes prepared, and is genuinely interested in the company and the job.
3. why do you want to work at x company?
this should be directly related to the last question. any research you’ve done on the company should have led you to the conclusion that you’d want to work there. after all, you’re at the interview, right? put some thought into this answer before you have your interview, mention your career goals and highlight forward-thinking goals and career plans.
4. what relevant experience do you have?
hopefully if you’re applying for this position you have bags of related experience, and if that’s the case you should mention it all. but if you’re switching careers or trying something a little different, your experience may initially not look like it’s matching up. that’s when you need a little honest creativity to match the experiences required with the ones you have. people skills are people skills after all, you just need to show how customer service skills can apply to internal management positions, and so on.
5. if your previous co-workers were here, what would they say about you?
ok, this is not the time for full disclosure. if some people from your past are going to say you’re a boring a-hole, you don’t need to bring that up. stay positive, always, and maybe have a few specific quotes in mind. “they’d say i was a hard worker” or even better “john doe has always said i was the most reliable, creative problem-solver he’d ever met.”
6. have you done anything to further your experience?
this could include anything from night classes to hobbies and sports. if it’s related, it’s worth mentioning. obviously anything to do with further education is great, but maybe you’re spending time on a home improvement project to work on skills such as self-sufficiency, time management and motivation.
7. where else have you applied?
this is a good way to hint that you’re in demand, without sounding like you’re whoring yourself all over town. so, be honest and mention a few other companies but don’t go into detail. the fact that you’re seriously looking and keeping your options open is what the interviewer is driving at.
8. how are you when you’re working under pressure?
once again, there are a few ways to answer this***but they should all be positive. you may work well under pressure, you may thrive under pressure, and you may actually prefer working under pressure. if you say you crumble like aged blue cheese, this is not going to help you get
your foot in the door.
9. what motivates you to do a good job?
the answer to this one is not money, even if it is. you should be motivated by life’s noble pursuits. you want recognition for a job well done. you want to become better at your job. you want to help others or be a leader in your field.
10. what’s your greatest strength?
this is your chance to shine. you’re being asked to explain why you are a great employee, so don’t hold back and stay do stay positive. you could be someone who thrives under pressure, a great motivator, an amazing problem solver or someone with extraordinary attention to detail. if your greatest strength. however, is to drink anyone under the table or get a top score on mario kart, keep it to you? the interviewer is looking for work-related strengths.
11. what’s your biggest weakness?
if you’re completely honest, you may be kicking yourself in the butt. if you say you don’t have one, you’re obviously lying. this is a horrible question and one that politicians have become masters at answering. they say things like “i’m perhaps too committed to my work and don’t spend enough time with my family.” oh, there’s a fineable offense. i’ve even heard “i think i’m too good at my job, it can often make people jealous.” please, let’s keep our feet on the ground. if you’re asked this question, give a small, work-related flaw that you’re working hard to improve. example: “i’ve been told i occasionally focus on details and miss the bigger picture, so i’ve been spending time laying out the complete project every day to see my overall progress.”
12. let’s talk about salary. what are you looking for?
run for cover! this is one tricky game to play in an interview. even if you know the salary range for the job, if you answer first you’re already showing all your cards. you want as much as pos***le, the employer wants you for as little as you’re willing to take. before you apply, take a look at salary.com for a good idea of what someone with your specific experience should be paid. you may want to say, “well, that’s something i’ve thought long and hard about and i think someone with my experience should get between x & y.” or, you could be sly and say, “right now, i’m more interested in talking more about what the position can offer my career.” that could at least buy you a little time to scope out the situation. but if you do have a specific figure in mind and you are confident that you can get it, i’d say go for it. i have on many occasions, and every time i got very close to that figure (both below and sometimes above).
13. are you good at working in a team?
unless you have the i.q. of a houseplant, you’ll always answer yes to this one. it’s the only answer. how can anyone function inside an organization if they are a loner? you may want to mention what part you like to play in a team though; it’s a great chance to explain that you’re a natural leader.
14. tell me a suggestion you have made that was implemented.
it’s important here to focus on the word “implemented.” there’s nothing wrong with having a thousand great ideas, but if the only place they live is on your notepad what’s the point? better still, you need a good ending. if your previous company took your advice and ended up going bankrupt, that’s not such a great example either. be prepared with a story about an idea of yours that was taken from idea to implementation, and considered successful.
15. has anything ever irritated you about people you’ve worked with?
of course, you have a list as long as your arm. but you can’t say that, it shows you a***eing
negative and difficult to work with. the best way to answer this one is to think for a while and then say something like “i’ve always got on just fine with my co-workers actually.”
use this question (本站 推荐wWW.HaOWorD.COM)as a chance to show that you are a team player: “the only people i have trouble with are those who aren’t team players, who just don’t perform, who complain constantly, and who fail to respond to any efforts to motivate them.” the interviewer is expecting a response focused on personality and personal dislikes. surprise her by delivering an answer that reflects company values
16. is there anyone you just could not work with?
no. well, unless you’re talking about murderers, racists, rapists, thieves or other dastardly characters, you can work with anyone. otherwise you could be flagged as someone who’s picky and difficult if you say, “i can’t work with anyone who’s a bronco’s fan. sorry.”
17. tell me about any issues you’ve had with a previous***boss.
if you fall for this one you shouldn’t be hired anyway. the interviewer is testing you to see if you’ll speak badly about your previous supervisor. simply answer this question with extreme tact, diplomacy and if necessary, a big fat loss of memory. in short, you’ve never had any issues.
the answer to 18 is completely wrong. i am a director at a major media company’s interactive division. our company is expanding and i am almost in a constant state of hiring. i ask a variation of this question in every single interview and if a candidate has never had one issue or disagreement with anyone, (i stated a variation: i ask if it has happened with anyone in the workplace) i peg them as a liar and reject them immediately.
i went well with my previous***boss. if there is a conflict, i will be open mind and talk about facts. once decision is made, i execute it well.
18. would you rather work for money or job satisfaction?
it’s not a very fair question is it? we’d all love to get paid a trump-like salary doing a job we love but that’s rare indeed. it’s fine to say money is important, but remember that nothing is more important to you than the job. otherwise, you’re just someone looking for a bigger paycheck.
19. would you rather be liked or feared?
i have been asked this a lot, in various incarnations. the first time i just drew a blank and said, “i don’t know.” that went over badly, but it was right at the start of my career when i had little to no experience. since then i’ve realized that my genuine answer is “neither, i’d rather be respected.” you don’t want to be feared because fear is no way to motivate a team. you may got the job done but at what cost? similarly, if you’re everyone’***best friend you’ll find it difficult to make tough decisions or hit deadlines. but when you’re respected, you don’t have to be a complete bastard or a lame duck to get the job done.
20. are you willing to put the interests of x company ahead of your own?
again, for another nasty question. if you say yes, you’re a corporate whore who doesn’t care about family. if you say no, you’re disloyal to the company. i’m afraid that you’ll probably have to say yes to this one though, because you’re trying to be the perfect employee at this point, and perfect employees don’t cut out early for jimmy’***a***all game.
it is situational. if you…; if you …. ethics and professionalism
21. so, explain why i should hire you.
as i’m sure you know, “because i’m great” or “i really need a job” are not good answers here. this is a time to give the employer a laundry list of your greatest talents that just so happen to match the job description. it’s also good to avoid taking potshots at other potential candidates here.
focus on yourself and your talents, not other people’s flaws.
22. finally, do you have any questions to ask me?
i’ll finish the way i started, with one of the most common questions asked in interviews. this directly relates to the research you’ve done on the company and also gives you a chance to show how eager and prepared you are. you’ll probably want to ask about benefits if they haven’t been covered already. a good generic one is “how soon could i start, if i were offered the job of course.” you may also ask what you’d be working on. specifically, in the role you’re applying for and how that affects the rest of the company. always have questions ready, greeting this one with a blank stare is a rotten way to finish your interview. good luck and happy job hunting.
ponder for a moment, and then ask your interviewer “what aspect of your job do you find most challenging”.
i would ask the interviewer, “why do you like to work here?”
23. where do you want to be in 5 to years?
they don’t want to hear in the same job you are interviewing for. ultimately, the hr people are searching for someone who can handle the job now, and has the potential to grow into a high level management job in the future. do you have those goals too?
第四篇:外企怎样看待求职信
过去企业注重求职信中的表白,现在不是了,更看重个人条件是否符合职位要求。缘何如此,请看本文——
通常情况下,求职者在递交简历总是喜欢附上一份热情洋溢的求职信。那么,外企怎样看待求职信呢?
惠普:附求职信没有必要
中国惠普有限公司人力资源总监说,附求职信没有必要,我不知道求职信意味什么。我们也看到过一些求职信,里面有一些豪言壮语,一些很浪漫的话或表决心的话,什么“给我一个支点,我将撬起地球”,“让我们风雨同舟”,“给我一个机会,我会还你一个惊喜”。我觉得应聘者应该对症下药,如果你去的是一个广告公司,你比较有创意,文字比较华丽,可能会有一些帮助。而我们这儿是搞工程的,没有必要搞这些东西。
富士通:有没有求职信没关系
富士通认为不附求职信没有什么关系。因为富士通看的是应聘者的条件符不符合职位的要求,如果求职者愿意写也没有关系,但公司并不会因为有无求职信而左右对应聘者的判断。
欧莱雅:求职信作用不大
欧莱雅(中国)人力资源总监说,求职信的作用是不大的。人力资源部要处理大量的简历,我们的筛选标准是根据事实依据,比如看应聘者的教育程度、工作背景和专业水平等是否符合岗位需求,我们不会看重应聘者的语言措辞。
ibm:写得不好不如不写
ibm(中国)有限公司大中华区招聘经理说,求职信如果写得好,确实能吸引注意力,附上也可,如果写得不好那就不如不写。一般求职信都是非常简短地介绍一下自己的特点以及希望应聘的职位,还会有一些问候之类的话。以前这在国际上是非常通行的做法,在简历前面用很短的文字吸引招聘者的注意。但是,近几年来我看到的从美国校园来的简历好像都没有附求职信。一般都是一个e—mail,然后写上几句话,附上一份自己的简历,仅此而已。
微软:不强调附求职信
微软并不强调附求职信,关键看应聘者如何在求职信中介绍自己。如果要附上求职信,一定要在上面很清楚地说明自己的特点,罗列出自己的强项,以及可以引起主考官或面试人员兴奋的东西,如果求职者很泛泛地写了一封求职信,那么很容易就会被翻过去直接看简历了,起不到求职信真正的作用。
礼来:求职信没有多大意义
礼来公司人力资源总监说,我个人觉得求职信没有太多意义。对公司来说,初步了解应聘者的最好工具就是简历,如果简历能够充分体现应聘者的关键信息,这就足够了。人力资源部每天收到大量求职简历,工作人员不可能花很长时间,在看完应聘者的简历后,还仔细地阅读没有更多新内容的求职信。我们会有自己的筛选技巧,会根据简历上的主要信息最后做出一个综合判断。现在的求职信中,有不少人喜欢誓言类的语句,比如“给我一片天空,我将怎么怎么样”等,但事实上这样的语言修辞并不能给招聘人员带来什么有效信息,公司不会关心这样的目标,也不会因此而感动。
nec:附求职信是画蛇添足
nec认为,在求职简历中附上求职信没有必要,是画蛇添足。撰写简历的主要目的就是应聘者把自己的个人信息传递给公司,投送简历本身就已经表明了求职者想加入这家公司的强烈愿望。用较小的篇幅传递最大量的信息是最明智的,重要的是尽可能在简历的第一页把最重要的信息传达清楚。
西门子:不能千篇一律
求职信写得好,是很有必要的。如果只是简单写一点,或者千篇一律,你抄我我抄你,或者是从网上下载下来的那种,参考价值就不大。应聘者如果一定要附上求职信的话,一定要抓住自己的“亮点”,如果人人都说自己团队精神很好,怎么勤奋学习、努力向上等,就没有特别的意义,并不能突出某个应聘者自己的特点。
柯达:写出闪光点很重要
柯达公司人事总监认为,求职信应把应聘者的强项在第一页写出来,对于公司人力资源部的工作人员来说,才容易发现应聘者身上的闪光点。
第五篇:如何写外企求职信
求职信是自我描绘的立体画像,是求职的第一阶段,其目的同个人简历一样,主要是引起招聘者的注意争取面试机会,但同个人简历又略有不同,求职信是针对特定的个人而写,而简历的写作却是针对特定的工作岗位,求职信可以说是对简历的补充和概述。
求职信一般由三部分组成:开头、主体和结尾。开头部分包括称呼和引言,称呼要恰当,引言的主要作用是尽量引起对方的兴趣看完你的材料,并自然进入主题部分,开头要人注目,说明应聘缘由和目的。
主体部分是求职信的重点,简明扼要并有针对性地概述自己的简历内容,突出自己的特点,并努力使自己的描叙与所求职位要求一致,切勿夸大其辞或不着边际,外企招聘人员尤其重视这一点。
结尾部分要做到令人口味,把你想得到工作的迫切心情表达出来,请用人单位尽快答复你并给予面试的机会,语气要热情、诚恳、有礼貌。同其它企业单位求职信相比,外企求职信有什么特点及要求呢?
(1)外企求职信一般要用外语写,主要是英语,或准备好中、英文两份材料。写求职信的过程本身也就反映出了你的外语水平,故应尽量做到语言规范、符合外文习惯,减少语法错误。
(2)求职信要有针对性。针对不同企业不同职位,求职信的内容要有所变化,侧重点有所不同,使对方觉得你的经历和素质与所聘职位要求相一致,因为外企招聘所需要的不是最好的员工,而是最适合其所聘工作的人。
(3)外企求职信中不要流露出不自信的思想,外企忌讳的是不自信,这与中国传统的“谦虚是美德”略有不同,在写外企求职信中,不必太谦虚,应充分强调启己的长处和技能,对自己较重要的经历和实践要较详细的叙述。
(4)要本着诚实不欺的原由,不能无中生有,自吹自擂。因为西方人认为诚实守信是一个人的第一美德。有一个外企应聘者在写求职信中写到自己爱好兴趣时,写了喜欢旅游和赛艇,其人实际上很少外出,对赛艇更是一无所知,但为了以具有冒险精神及刺激性的形象吸引外企招聘者故意加了这两条。结果在后来面试中,主试者谈到自己也是个赛艇爱好者,但对赛艇转弯技术却不甚了解,想与该应聘者切磋。应聘者立即面红耳赤,手足无措,不由得不承认其对赛艇一无所知。主试者不满其弄虚作假立即拒绝录用他。
(5)在写外企求职信中,经注意写“怎么干”这比”干什么”更重要。比如你担任过校学生会主席,不要光写头衔,更重要的是你是如何担任这个职位的,组织了哪些活动,有什么成绩,怎么组织这些活动,达到既定目标。因为外企重视的不是你的身份,而是你如何在所任职位上发挥你的才能,他们大都以此来判断你的能力和潜力是否能胜任其所聘职位的工作。
