about CVs, Interviews in applying a job

文远

Dear All,



I have had some of the companies’ feedbacks from your applications. It turns out some of you were less professional in your approach.



CVs:

Some of you had just incorporated the CV into body of the email, which was not easy for the reader to assimilate.

Please REMEMBER to send your CVs as attachments, and also make use of covering letters to highlight particular areas of relevant skill or experience.



INTERVIEW:

Some of you wore Jeans to the interview. It is not very appropriate. Please make sure you are dressed appropriately for the position for which you are being interviewed. Some companies have a much more relaxed approach to dress than others but, if in doubt, wear a suit. You won’t be criticised for being too smart but employers will notice if you walk in wearing a pair of jeans and a t-shirt!



The following tips from employers should help:

• Ensure that you maintain impeccable standards of personal hygiene but avoid using overpowering deodorants, aftershave or perfume.

• Your hair should be neat and tidy and your shoes and clothes clean.

• Avoid inappropriate jewellery. Visible body piercings, ankle chains or personalised necklaces may not be suitable. Men should restrict jewellery to cuff-links and a signet or wedding ring.

• Dress appropriately. It is important that you look smart for your interview but equally important that you feel comfortable. Men should avoid gimmicky ties or socks. Women should avoid very short skirts, very high heels and heavy make-up.



Make sure that your interview outfit is ready the night before, get a good night’s sleep and set off in good time.



APTITUDE TEST:

The University of Nottingham, UK is now open their online aptitude test to UNNC. You could check online for the test and gain some idea of how the tests look like. There might be some tests involved in the selection process. http://winster.nottingham.ac.uk/ccd/student/online_assessment.asp



Here are some general tips for the test:

• Eliminate as many wrong answers as possible, For example, with numerical test, a quick estimate may help you to discard several of the options without working out every alternative.

• Work as quickly and accurately as you can. Both speed and accuracy are important, so do not spend too long on any one question.

• Do not waste time on a difficult question. If you are stuck, leave it and move on.

• Don't worry if you do not finish all the questions in the time, but if you do, go over your answers again to check them.



Btw, I have attached two flies of tips for the CVs and Interviews. Please make sure that you read that carefully before your application and interview.



Best wishes,



Eva

关于履历
有的人只是简单把履历复制粘贴到电子邮件里，其实这样不便读者理解。
请务必牢记：要把你的履历作为附件发送，并通过附信突出阐述与你的技能和经历相关的领域。

关于面试
有人喜欢穿牛仔去面试，其实这也不大得体。应保证你的着装适合你所面试的职位。有些公司对着装要求比较宽松，这时在穿戴上可以不必太拘束。但如果你不确定所应聘的公司到底有没有着装上的特殊要求，这时穿正装是最保险的做法。穿得好没人骂你，但要牛仔裤T恤衫的去面试，那你对招聘方来说就特别扎眼了。

来自雇主的小贴士，相信会对你有所帮助
1）要保证在个人卫生上不出问题，但不要用气味过于浓烈的清香剂、须后水或香水。
2）头发修剪要整齐，衣鞋干净。
3）不戴不相称的首饰。可见的纹身、脚链、太个性化的项链最好都不要有。
4）穿着得体。面试时穿的衣服既要雅致，又要舒服。男士的领带和袜子不要太花哨，女士不化浓妆，不穿超短裙，不穿过高的跟鞋。
5）面试头天晚上备齐第二天要用到的物品，保证睡眠，按时起床。

建议都很好。
不过，用附件发简历有时可能被识别成垃圾邮件。这条要看具体情况再定。
