Practical English: 人力资源顾问给求职毕业生的一些建议

Editor's Note: Wang Jiaqi, a human resources consultant at Selegate Consulting Company was happy to share some of his experience with the Global Times.  
Q: What role does a Curriculum Vitae (CV), or resume, play in the process of finding a job?  
A: It is the CV that has the responsibility of making the first impression with the prospective employer.
It should be clear and well-structured.
Recent graduates must highlight any work experience that they may have.
Of course, the CV should be tailored to the job that you are seeking.
Job seekers who attended a prestigious university do have a better chance of finding a job, but that does not mean those who attended an ordinary university don’t have a chance at all.
Don’t forget to express yourself well in your CV.
Put the emphasis on your strong points, and conceal your weaknesses.


Q: What is the process of recruiting employees?
A: The HR manager makes a preliminary selection of those to be considered for the position.
These candidates may be invited to attend an interview. It is sometimes required that the candidates wear business clothes for the interview.
The interviewer asks questions, for example, why the applicant is interested in the vacant position.
Other common questions are to describe your strengths and weaknesses, to explain why you think you are suited to the job.
These type of questions are more personal, obviously, rather than with a right or wrong answer.

Q: How does the company determine if a candidate is suitable?
A: Different positions require different skills.
I was once interviewed for a position of sales administration trainer at the cosmetics giant, l’Oreal.
All candidates had to choose a subject written on a card.
My subject was to pick out one of the company’s brands which was on sale during the Olympics, and to explain how you would market it.
This required that the candidates had to be familiar with the company’s products and also demonstrate their communication and sales skills.
One other subject at the interview was to suggest a spokesperson for l’Oreal’s products.
Such tests are not very easy, and candidates should learn from each interview, even if they do not get the job.

Q: Any more advice for graduates looking for employment?
A: When you attend an interview, it’s very important to believe in yourself.
Don’t worry too much about which university you attended – other applicants may not have your work experience.
Graduates are characterized by their youth and freshness, so show your energy and your ability to learn more.
Also show your communication skills, and that you have initiative  
Re编者按：王嘉琪，现任赛力佳人力资源管理顾问有限公司人力资源顾问，很高兴能与记者共同分享他的一些求职经验。
环球时报（以下简称Q）：个人简历在找工作的过程中发挥了什么样的作用？
回答（以下简称A）：简历是求职者与准雇主的第一印象。一份好的简历，应当目标明确，结构完整。应届毕业生必须着重强调他们以往的工作经验。 当然，简历中的经验应该是与所应聘工作相关的。 在找工作的过程中，同等条件下，可能从名牌大学毕业的毕业生更有可能获得某个职位，但这并不意味着那些从普通高校毕业的人就没有机会。切记简历需要避重就轻，最好要多强调自己的优点。
Q：一般来说，某个公司招聘员工的程序是怎么样的？
A：人力资源管理人员会根据所聘位置，从应聘人员中进行初步的筛选。
这些候选人可能会被邀请参加面试。通常，会要求候选人着正装出席面试。
在面试的时候，面试官会问候选人一些问题。例如，为什么你会对所聘职位感兴趣，等等。
其他常见的问题就是描述自己的优点和缺点，并且阐述为什么你认为自己适合这份工作。
这种类型的问题，更多倾向于主观问题。很明显，不能简单的回答对与错。

Q：公司是如何确定该候选人是合适的人选的？
A：不同的职位需要不同的技能。我曾应聘过化妆品巨头——欧莱雅销售管理培训生。所有应聘人员都需要选择一个卡片，上面写着不同的话题。
我的话题是挑选该公司的一个品牌产品在奥运会期间销售，需要我向面试官解释将如何推销该产品到市场上去。这就要求应聘人员必须熟悉该公司的各个品牌产品，同时要展示自己的沟通和销售技巧。
我记得有位应聘者选的话题是为该公司的某一个产品选择代言人。这种话题对应聘者来说都不是很容易，需要全面的了解该公司的情况。
即使最后没能得到这份工作，应聘者也应该从每次的面试中总结经验，为以后的应聘做准备。
Q：请您给正在找工作的毕业生们一些忠告？
A：当你参加面试时，非常重要的一点就是自信，相信你自己。不要过于担心你是从哪所大学毕业的，因为你的工作经验是其他应聘者未必具备的。 刚刚踏出校园的毕业生，特点就是他们很年轻并且充满活力。所以，要向面试官展示出你的活力和善于学习的能力。同时，展现
