Filling in company application forms can become a boring and repetitive (重复的) task. Yet any carelessness on an applicant’s part can draw a negative reaction from readers. Each company or organization usually uses its own specially designed form that, although it generally asks for the same basic information, may vary in detail. Consequently the suggestions below apply mainly to the approach you should take rather than suggest what you should write. ·When visiting future employers, always carry your personal data record with you so that you can readily search for details such as dates, telephone numbers, and other useful information. ·Treat every application form as though it is the first one you are completing--write carefully and neatly. ·Use words that describe the responsibility and different aspects of each job you have held rather than list only the duties you performed. ·Particularly describe social activities that show your involvement in the community, or activities in which you held a teaching or coaching role. ·Pay particular attention if there is a section on the form that asks you to comment on how your education and past experience have especially prepared you for the position. ·Think this through very carefully before you write so that what you say shows a natural progression (进展) from past experience to the job you are applying for. If you can, and if they fit naturally, add a few words to demonstrate how the position fits your overall career plan. |
