Craft a Cover Letter That Stands Out
写一封出众的求职信
After graduating from law school, Autumn Leach wanted to find a job quickly. She drafted a cover letter that accentuated her unique experience and made her stand out as a candidate.
从法律学校毕业后,Autumn Leach希望快速找到一份工作。她写了一封求职信强调了她与众不同的经历,这让她在求职者中脱颖而出。
"I had the standard entry-level lawyer resume that you have to use, but I used the cover letter to introduce myself more," said Leach.
Leach说,“我有标准的入门律师简历,这你也得用,但是我用了求职信更多的介绍了我自己。”
"I mentioned that I'd worked on a political campaign in San Diego. My current boss is running for office in Anchorage, which sparked his interest in me. It was a lucky move that paid off."
“我提到了我曾参与过圣地亚哥的一场政治选举中,我现在的老板正想进入安克雷奇的议会,这让他对我很感兴趣,这一步我走的很对。”
Leach is now working as an attorney in Alaska. She credits her cover letter as being "key" to finding her job.
Leach现在在阿拉斯加做律师。她认为她的求职信是找到现在这份工作的关键。
Don't Neglect Your Network
别忽视你的人脉
Curtis Potter wasn't even actively seeking full-time work when he was appointed creative director of an advertising agency. He credits his new job to his solid professional network.
在被一家广告公司任命为创意总监的时候,Curtis Potter甚至还没积极的寻找全职工作哪。他把这份新工作归功于他可靠的职业人际关系。
Potter had left his most recent job on good terms and had stayed in touch with his boss when he moved cross-country.
Potter离开最近一份工作的时候气氛是很愉快的,他搬到另外一个城市的时候也和老板保持了联系。
"I would visit whenever I went back to the West Coast and have dinner with him when he came toNew York," said Potter.
Potter说,“不管我什么时候回到西海岸都会去拜访他,他来纽约的时候我们也会一起吃饭。”
Potter also built a strong network in and around New York City.
Potter还在纽约内外都打造了强大的人脉。
"A former colleague from a local agency called me and told me about the opening, and I sent my resume in. She talked me up to her bosses and they reviewed my resume. It turned out that they knew my previous employer," said Potter.
Potter说,“一位前同事从一家当地中介给我打电话告诉了我这份工作,我发了简历过去,她跟她的老板提到了我,他们看了我的简历,结果发现他们认识我以前的雇主。”
"I had two strong references going for me -- a former colleague and a former boss. The agency interviewed tons of people, but I think these connections made all the difference," said Potter.
Potter说,“我有两份强有力的推荐——我的前同事和前老板。这家中介面试过成千上万人,但是我想这些联系让我变得与众不同。”
