求職信10個加分位
1. 展現你的個性
除了CV上列出的工作經驗，求職者的性格也十分重要，在面試前，你可以藉着簡單描述自己的性格，讓僱主對你加深印象。
範例：I would describe myself as a cheerful person. My friends sometimes ask me how I can be so positive and energetic. I am proud of my efforts to pursue my dream of being a reporter. I had an interest in media since I was a little boy…
2. 對公司的興趣
撰寫時，嘗試從僱主的角度出發，對方也會想了解你選擇這間公司的原因。在求職信中最好描述你有了解公司的發展，欣賞公司的某些特質或文化，一直有興趣加入成為其中一分子。
範例：Having studied the achievements of your company with admiration, I am aware that your success depends on the trainer's ability convincing seminar attendees to take part in professional training programmes…
3. 你可以適應公司的文化
每間公司的文化、工作模式不會百分百相同，僱主亦不會要求你須完全符合，但可以表達你將會如何適應公司的文化、價值觀和使命。
範例：I have spent considerable time researching companies by talking to different employees. From this research, I am impressed with your company values, and the friendly environment. I would be very proud to join your team, as you treat clients the same way you would want to be treated…
4. 尋找工作的動機
僱主不只是期望你來「打份工」，而是你真正對工作有熱誠，能推動自己不斷進步。因此，在求職信中最好加上「Passion」、「Excited」等字眼。
範例：I was very excited to find that your company is currently seeking Marketing Assistant. With my education, experience, and enthusiasm for marketing, I am confident that I would be a valuable asset to your team.
5. 教育對你的影響
列出你的學歷不只是為了讓僱主了解你在學業上的成績，你還應該寫出大學時參加活動、比賽、實習等經驗，解釋這些經歷如何讓你在投身職場前裝備好自己。
範例：Through working with the associate director during my graduate training programme, I have become heavily involved in research and data analysis. I would love to bring this knowledge and passion to your company.

6. 講故事
觸動心弦的故事可能會加深僱主對你的印象，不過要留意故事應該要與你所申請的職位有關係，不然僱主可能會覺得你在浪費他們的時間。
建議：與人相處時的難忘經歷、一次印象深刻的觀察、從一件事中學習成長。
7. 你有能力勝任的特質
你要表達你具備了什麼特質讓僱主選擇你，而不是其他求職者，信中應詳細說明你有甚麼條件可以勝任這個職位。
建議：寫出的特質要與所申請的職位有關，最好是比較獨特的技能。
8. 與人的聯繫
當你是在某些場合遇到可以直接幫助你發展事業時，請把握時機發送求職信，與對方建立聯繫，信中記得提及你們是在哪個活動中曾經見面。
範例： I enjoyed your talk at the University yesterday night and was so impressed with your knowledge of trends. It inspired me to research about this topic further. I would love to tell you more about how my solid skills and strong interest in this industry can attain outstanding performance for your company.
9. 解釋異常或潛在的負面情況
在履歷表中很難解釋你的情況，例如搬遷、休假、疾病、家庭問題等，重返工作崗位或會造成就業差距，求職信則是個好機會讓你詳細表達。注意不要得描述太詳細，你也不想引起對僱主對你私人生活的過分關注吧。
範例：When I took maternity leave from my previous job, I expected to return in just a few months. However, giving birth to a child with autism would not only take me out of the workforce for 6 years to attend to the special needs of my son. Currently, it inspires me a whole new career passion as a special-education teacher….
10. 解釋你的職業轉變
許多僱主會懷疑求職者為什麼突然轉行，同時亦會問自己：「我為什麼要選擇一個沒有相關工作經驗的外行人？」儘管你的履歷上的工作經驗在這個情況下未能幫助你，但你可以在求職信中詳細寫出你對這個行業的認識和熱情，為自己加分。
範例： I became a social worker because of I always desire to help people and make a difference. I strive to do the same with my writing. As a social work professional with significant welfare writing experience, I offer a related skill to this position at your magazine…
