【寫靚份CV】究極CV排版設計

上期講咗寫靚份 CV 係幾咁重要,所謂顏值即正義,所以教咗點樣幫張 CV 揀啱字型,戰衣就揀好嘞,今期就講吓點樣排版(typography),化番個靚妝啦。   Download 個 template 咪得囉? 今時今日寫 CV,梗係冇人會再對住個空白嘅 Word file 慢慢揼啦,一定係 download template 㗎喎,咁有人就會覺得既然都有 template,啲排版呀、design 呀都唔駛自己操心㗎啦。 少年你太年輕嘞。係,個 template 本來係好靚仔嘅,但係當你將自己嘅資料 copy 晒落去個 template 果陣就唔係㗎啦。

【寫靚份CV】3分鐘揀啱字型,贏得決勝分

有冇見過人踢拖、背心、短褲咁去見工?CV用錯字型,嚴重性就好似着錯衫去見工一樣——見光死,任你張CV吹到曉飛,面試對答如流,都改變唔到interviewer對你嘅印象,因為根據研究,第一印象會喺3至5秒內形成,而且持續好長時間,今後都好難再改變。 如果你為咗面試買咗套suit、皮鞋,出發前仲要gel頭,咁實在冇理由唔花3分鐘為你張CV化個靚妝先send出街見人。 同樣嘅字型仲可以用喺Cover letter,就好似西裝外套要襯番條西褲同對皮鞋一樣,除咗好睇之外,視覺上consistent啲,感覺更pro。

【職場英語 專家教路】 寫出符合求職需求的履歷

履歷表(CV)通常只會被選擇性略讀,所以一份簡單、清晰、準確的CV是獲取面試機會的首要條件。僱主收到的求職信隨時過百份,當然不可能花上幾小時細閱每一份。拿起CV的頭幾秒,已決定了求職者的命運:看上去能符合基本應徵條件,就會納入考慮之列;條件不合或資料不清晰的,便沒有機會了。 僱主會著眼於求職者的學歷和工作經驗去決定是否符合職位的要求。你需要合理地編排資料次序,務求清晰準確並易於閱讀。因此,撰寫履歷表時最好參考特定格式。負責招聘的人事部通常十分眼利,能將錯誤一一找出,所以求職者切記要提高CV的準確性。建議大家撰寫履歷表時使用串字檢查,重覆細讀,甚至請其他人幫忙校對,以確保內容、文法及行文風格上都沒有出錯。

CV 和附信寫得恰如其分,是求職者通向面試階段至關重要的一步。CV 務求精簡,一頁為好,不宜超過兩頁。列出工作經驗時,可以選用筆記形式代替完整句子,例如 Organized adventure package tours for large groups, trained and supervised new staff members, maintained partner relationships. Showed ability to work well as part of a team.

Customising/tailoring your CV for the right job (Part 1)

With any CV, you can be sure that it will be looked at both quickly and critically. Simplicity, clarity and accuracy are the keys to getting through the first door — but what is that first door? Employers do not have time to spend hours looking at every CV. Those first few seconds are crucial. What’s more, the first glance at your CV will be to see if you, the candidate, meet the essential requirements. If you do not demonstrate that you meet them or if your information is unclear, your CV will head straight to the recycling bin.
