研究顯示,一位 HR 通常看履歷只會看六秒,If you don’t nail it, GAME OVER!
而和一般的求職履歷一樣,英文履歷最重要的就是如何用前三行 Summary 抓住人心。這三行 Summary,必須快狠準的說明兩點:「你是誰」以及「你有什麼能耐」。
透過以下五個簡單步驟,你也能寫出擄獲人心的三行自介!

知己知彼,百戰百勝
【Step 1】知己——Your Best Accomplishments
第一步要做的就是了解自己的優勢,可以問自己以下幾個問題,把自己的光榮戰績及長處列出來:
- What are my brightest moments?
- What am I proud of achieving?
- What do I love most about what I do?
- What do I do best?
以我自己為例,光榮事蹟就可以寫:
- YouTuber with ten million+ views
- YouTuber with 200k subscribers
- Cram school teacher teaching 1000+ students
除了戰績外,也列出不管哪個工作,都可以用到的專長
- Fluent English
- Great communication skills
- Team player
【Step 2】知彼——Scan the Job Post & Find out What the Employer Wants
在了解自己優勢後,第二步就是仔細看雇主想要的條件,一可以從問這幾個問題著手:
- Who are they looking for?
- What value do they want an employee to provide?
- What extra skills or qualities not listed would add unexpected value?
舉例來說,以下是 W Hotel 招募 Marketing & Social Media Manager 的需求:
- Marketing experience (1-3 years preferable)
- Strong understanding of the online medium as a distribution and marketing channel
- Extreme familiarity with online social networking tools (Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube)
- Possess outstanding communication skills, both verbal and written
在做完前兩步後,就可以開始正式撰寫 Summary 了!
Summary 這樣寫,抓住人資的心!
【Step 3】找交集——美化你的履歷 & 找出與雇主期望的共通點
結合前面整理出來的「自我專長(Step 1)」及「雇主的要求(Step 2)」,找出交集並開始構思有哪些是值得進行英文撰寫的?
最後,就是把 Step 3 這幾點整理成一段文章囉~
【Step 4】撰寫順序——Start With Title
先從想要的職位 Title(或相關職位)開始撰寫,讓人一目了然知道你要哪個職位。
