向雇主介绍自己
开始强烈
为成功留下深刻印象
- 展示自信.
- 握手有力,微笑真诚.
- Speak clearly and slowly in a friendly and pleasant manner.
- Have a positive attitude; employers are looking for enthusiastic candidates who show genuine interest in their company and job opportunities.
- 保持眼神交流.
- Remember that 90 percent of communication is non-verbal. 你的穿着, 你如何站立, 你说话的语气, 眼神交流, 握手, 微笑, 热情程度, 都很重要.
使用公式
- 名字.
- 班级(大四、大三、大二).
- 主要.
- 你正在寻找的机会.
- Relevant experience (work, internship, volunteer work).
- 强调技能和优势.
- 对公司的了解.
Example
- “嗨,我的名字是 ..... 很高兴见到你. 我是_____(专业),我将在_____毕业. 我对你的______职位很感兴趣. 你能多告诉我一点吗?
- “嗨,我的名字是 .... 很高兴认识你. 我是____(专业),我将在____毕业. I am very interested in positions that will take advantage of my skills in ____, ____, and ____. Do you have any positions that are seeking these skills?"
- 重要提示:如果你说你拥有一项特殊技能, make sure you give an example of that skill from previous experience.
保持强劲
介绍之后
- Ask questions to show you are interested and demonstrate you have researched the employer and/or position.
- 举例说明你的技能和资格. 能够谈论你能为他们提供什么.
- 保持你的热情和兴趣. If the employer walks away from the conversation not sure of your interest, 你刚刚失去了面试的机会.
避免

- 询问公司是否有职位空缺.
- Stating that you will be willing to do anything at the company.
- Bringing up negatives about previous experience, employer, 等.
完成强
留下积极的印象
- 一定要以强烈的语气结束谈话.
- Tell them you are very interested in working for their organization and/or the position they are offering, and let them know you would really appreciate the opportunity to interview for the position.
- Ask for their business card so you can send them a thank you and follow up as needed.
- Offer another firm 握手 and thank them for taking the time to talk with you.

成功的步骤
从计划开始
- 分析你的技能和兴趣. 我们的 评估 tools can help you discover your key skills and interests.
- 研究 工作的世界. We have information on hundreds of career fields and job titles. You can select and research occupations that fit your interests.
- Identify knowledgeable career professionals in your targeted job, career or organization. 检查你的资源, 包括个人, 家庭, 学校和商业联系, to develop a list of people you can call for an informational interview.

-
Contact the person and tell them that you are interested in their career field and would like to meet with them to discuss opportunities in this field. Make sure they know that you are not asking for a job interview.
-
Be resourceful, sincere and show genuine interest in what your “target” person does. Explain that the meeting will be no longer than 30 minutes. People usually enjoy the opportunity to discuss their work. Suggest a meeting over lunch or after work if they are too busy during office hours.
-
If a person cannot meet, ask if you can ask them a few quick questions over the telephone. 弄清楚你到底能有多少分钟.
- If they cannot talk, ask them for the names of others you might contact in the field.
- 为面试做准备.
- 深入研究组织. 学习年度报告、宣传册和其他材料. 与熟悉公司的人交谈.
- 带上你的履历. Have a career counselor or peer career advisor review it first.
- 准备并排练一份问题清单.
- 永远专业着装.
- 面试过程中.
- 专注于你的目的,也就是获取信息. At appropriate times, you may indicate your strengths and interests, but be subtle.
- Ask if your contact can refer you to others in the same career. It will help you establish a referral list and build a job search network.
- 感谢信. 编写一个!
