在台灣學校,鮮少有教中文履歷撰寫,更不要說精緻包裝,而背包客到了國外,著手寫英文履歷,若思考邏輯和中文一樣,那就表示還沒自行上網查詢英文履歷的撰寫方式,不然就是看了也參不透其中奧秘,即使知道中規中矩的resume怎麼寫,如果只用書面的方式遞交,在這影音的年代似乎有點太遜,當背包客的人,多多少少都有點瘋狂異於常人的想法,怎麼寫出突顯個人特色的履歷,也許看官可以在這找到一些想法。
正式英文履歷分為兩部分,履歷表resume/C.V.(curriculum vitae)和求職信cover letter。
背包客的履歷表大多簡單,應徵的職位通常也不太困難,應填得項目其實也不多,如參考以下。

有些人會把自傳(autobiography)和cover letter當成同一個東西,這是錯誤的聯結,cover letter比中文所說的自傳要簡單許多,內容也很不一樣,cover letter簡潔扼要的說明1.得知工作的管道2.應徵原因3.個人適合該工作的理由/特質或是個人企圖心,最後並客氣地請求人資/主管閱讀履歷,並給與面試的機會。而自傳(autobiography)某些內容屬於比較私人的東西,像是家庭背景、結婚與否、是否有小孩,這些私人的訊息基本上也不須透露給雇主,在美國曾經有雇主問應徵者是否有小孩而遭拒絕回答,非關工作,雇主不可亂問,西方社會的邏輯是很注重個人隱私。
Cover letter簡單的範例如下,以應徵waitress為例
Thanks for your consideration first. I am interested in applying for waitress which is posted on website, and would like to enquire about the possibility working as a team member.
I am an active and responsible person and love to take challenge in Job. As my resume shows, I had an experience of working in Yellowstone National Park in U.S.A where I learned how to be an excellent waitress and how a restaurant runs. The most of important thing is I love to serve people and love to see customers smiling after a satisfied service. Therefore, I would be very happy to ‘muck in’ and tackle any tasks required in this company.
To sum up, this job information would give me a chance to take challenge, which I really enjoy, and also hope I will be your first priority. Resume attached for your reference. Any further request, please feel free to let me know and I will be glad to offer any information immediately.
Thank you for your time and consideration. I can be reached any time through telephone contact or by email. I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Yours sincerely,
Aliga
說起來,寫出中規中矩的英文履歷其實也不難,只是那些不屬於西方社會的個人隱私部分請省略起來,人家是要知道您工作上相關的特質,不是想知道您祖上十八代的豐功偉業,因此盡量寫與工作相關的項目。
除了這些很正式的履歷外,現今有愈來愈多人用作品、影音當作履歷,應徵澳洲大堡礁工作之類的,所以在當背包客期間,也可交付給自己一個功課,做出獨一無二的個人履歷,方式千千萬萬種,比如以下:
影片名稱:XXX履歷
總長:三分鐘
成本:無上限
畫面說明 |
字幕與對白 |
環境 |
簡介人物 |
美麗與智慧兼具的優秀員工 |
在游泳池穿比基尼 |
片頭:ㄧ萬四千英尺的高空準備往下跳 |
標題:死都不怕的人 對白:老闆 這種大風大浪都不怕的人 不用我 實在太可惜了 |
高空飛機上 |
片中:穿旗袍 撐洋傘滑雪,快速從雪山山頂俯衝下來 |
對白:在鏡頭前說:「老闆 ,這麼拼命的 ,很少見了。」 |
雪山 |
片中:努力在農場打工的影子 |
表現出身強體壯的印象 |
農場 |
片尾:穿套裝 說一口流利的日文 |
對白:用日文介紹自己 結尾:要說拜託您之類的話 |
以辦工大樓為背景 |
如果有人想要用此做為自己的履歷,我很歡迎,只是拍完剪接完後,記得借我看一下就是。
