履歷表埋入適當的關鍵字,有助你獲得面試機會。除了「職務類型」之外,與「人格特質」相關的關鍵字也不能忽視,特別在英文履歷的用詞更應該留意是否專業與恰當。

Team player 團隊精神
Starting out in your career, you'll want to work on a team; and you'll need to work on a team. The hiring manager is going to want to hear that. Tell them.
職業生涯正要展開,你想在團隊中工作,而且你需要在一個團隊中工作。負責徵才的經理希望聽你強調這一點。那麼就告訴他們吧。
Leadership 領導能力
At an entry-level, you're not being hired as a manager. But showing leadership also means showing independent thinking and the ability to take control of a situation, rather than always deferring to somebody else.
剛開始,你還不是主管。但是你要表現出領導能力,還要展現你具有獨立思考和能掌控局面的能力,你不會永遠聽別人的。
Oral and written communications 說寫的溝通能力
If you can't communicate, nobody knows what you're doing, or how good (or bad) you're doing.
如果你無法溝通,誰也不知道你在做什麼、或做得多麼好(或糟糕)。
Problem-solving and decision-making 解決問題和決策的能力
Some of the keywords -- showing the ability to get things done, regardless of the obstacles. You'll want these skills showing.
在履歷中寫出一些關鍵字,表明無論是否遇到障礙,你都能完成任務。你希望把這些技能都展現出來。
"Bright" and "Passionate" 聰明、熱情
A company that wants "bright" or "passionate" employees is hoping to tap into the energy of youth. You're perfect. Apply now.
想要找到“聰明”或“有熱情的”員工的公司都希望能夠利用年輕人旺盛的精力。就是你了,現在就展開行動!
除了上述標題字外,注意接下來的動詞片語,它們很可能是帶動你、讓你真正成就生涯的關鍵。再讀一遍吧!
work on a team
在團隊中工作,老美喜歡用"on a team",英國人則偏好"in a team"。
例句:I worked on a team with scientists who have all won awards.(我與一群榮獲多個獎項的科學家一起同工作。)
take control of
掌控。control 原來的意思就是控制,在這裡當名詞,take control of 是常用的一個片語,掌握、掌控的意思。
例句:Take control of the situation instead of feeling overwhelmed or powerless.(控制局勢,而不應被它左右或束手無策。)
defer to
defer有兩個意思,一個是推遲,與介系詞to連用,經常當「聽從、順從」講。
例句:She never defers to my opinions.(她從來不聽從我的意見。)
get things done
把事情做好。儘管去做。這個詞很好用,意思不難懂,臨到要用時,很多人想到的是finish或是complete之類的字眼。
例句:He's well-intentioned but not very good at getting things done.(他常常是好心卻辦不出好事。)
tap into
tap 原來是輕敲的意思,意為打進市場之前先做深入瞭解。
例句:I'd really like to tap into the overseas market. I think there's a lot of business opportunities there.(我想探尋海外市場,我認為有很多商機。)
