Of course, I am not an expert in this field, but compared with other students in China, I contacted them earlier and more, and I also have some interests. I spent some time doing some research, but I still have some experience. When I first came to France, others were looking for friends and acquaintances to introduce me to work, so I began to write my resume and motivation letter to find a job. Today, in order to apply for a school and find a job, I wrote hundreds of resumes and motivation letters, and asked dozens of professionals to revise them for me. In the process of writing and revising, I gradually understood many skills and rules. There were a lot of instructions in this respect, but unfortunately they were all in French. I'm afraid few foreigners can really read and study them thoroughly. Moreover, these books do not take into account the actual situation of our domestic students, so they may not be able to copy mechanically. Write down some thoughts and experiences here, which may be of reference value to everyone.
It's kind of funny to say. When I started looking for a job during my first summer vacation in France, a classmate from China taught me to design my resume. But later in practice, it was found that this is true in both content, structure and format. Classic error CV template? . One of the biggest mistakes is that a resume is widely used by several companies and is not targeted. You can tell at a glance that it was printed by a template. Later, when I got a job, I told him about this mistake. Not long after, he also found a job quickly and called me as soon as possible. He looks very happy. Up to now, although far apart, he will always contact me.
First of all, we should have a correct understanding of resume and motivation letter. Many students in China are at a loss when they want to write CV and La Lettre de Motivation, and they don't know where to start. Don't you know that it's time for us to give full play to our advantages, give us a chance to package and sell ourselves, and let others know more about us. Anyway, it's much more beneficial than oral expression. When I first arrived in France, everyone said? Is it really a difficult word to find a job? Moreover, my listening and speaking ability is extremely poor, so I found a good seasonal job in the summer vacation. I think, what plays a great role in this is that I have learned to use CV in combination with motivation letter, which fully shows my self-confidence.
Correct attitude, but also master the method. You can learn simulation at first. Just like the red in the painting. Find some wonderful samples and follow the gourd painting gourd ladle. Although people know it's fake at first glance, at least they are well-behaved and won't make big mistakes. Of course, even if it is a simulation, you still have to have your own things, and it is definitely impossible to copy them completely. Even if it's a simulation, you need someone to look at it for you. Perhaps, the only thing that has been corrected is what you added or changed yourself.
When you simulate more than dozens of copies, you must start to be dissatisfied with this lack of personalization. That's right. In fact, your recipient is not satisfied with the same text. As some professional recruiters said, seeing these works from a template reminds you of a person who is not creative and motivated? The implication is self-evident. Simulation is just a transition, so you should always design your resume and motivation letter that suits your personality. Before you start writing, you should know some rules and skills peculiar to French application. Never assume and imagine with the thinking of China people. It often happens that we think wonderful sentences and ideas are often sneered at by the French. Without face-to-face collision, cultural differences are completely unimaginable. For example, when I applied for a university, I once wanted to use a self-motivated sentence as the bottom of the page: Maybe I am not the best, but I am definitely the most diligent. ? Unexpectedly, several professors and tutors suggested that I delete it after consulting. Asked about the reason, they gave a clever explanation. Although I don't fully understand it, I dare not stay on paper.
When recruiting (enrolling students) to provide jobs (degrees), there is already an outline and standard for what kind of people to recruit. The first thing we have to do is to tell people that you just meet these requirements, and the second thing is to find ways to dispel the doubts of the recruiter. An effective method is widely recommended: first list all your advantages, even details, then circle the advantages related to the position (degree) you are seeking, and then arrange these advantages in order from important to general. When writing a motivation letter and resume, describe the above and key advantages and combine them to impress people. In the motive letter, don't talk about your vacancy? Strong organizational skills? But generally quote one or two of your own experiences to prove it? Stop immediately and don't expand.
Resume and motivation letter should be targeted, and the same thing can't attract people's interest. My classmate's mistake at that time was to submit a resume with exactly the same content and format in a completely different industry, whether it was a restaurant, a farm or a factory. Later, professionals told me that before writing resumes and cover letters, we should first learn as much as possible about the background of the employer and the requirements for personnel, and then do what we like and explain our relevant qualities to others. In China, what does it mean? Know yourself and yourself? . If all you need is a dishwasher, don't mention how obsessed you are with programming. Why not just let yourself go at ordinary times? So you can do housework? The best advantages are listed. Besides, looking for a seasonal job on a farm (this is a good opportunity for us to earn a lot of tuition a year), even if you have no relevant experience, can you still be hired? Love sports and be strong? Don't brag about how well your article is written.
Many people don't understand why they need a motivation letter when they have a resume. How to coordinate the relationship between them? In the eyes of the French, a resume is an objective written material, which lists a person's education, experience and expertise, including numbers and proper nouns. Motivation letter is a subjective thing, which can relate the facts in your resume with the requirements of the other party and the position (degree) offered, thus showing that you are suitable for the position (degree) offered by them. For example, you claim in your resume? Did you do a market survey of electronic repeater when you were a sophomore? This is an objective fact; And in the motivation letter, you should further elaborate? Investigation gave me the opportunity to combine what I learned in class with practice, thus initially establishing the experience and skills of market research? Information provided for the parties? Market researcher? A position. Resume and motivation letter are two sides of the same thing, but they should not be repeated, but each has its own weight and functions together. Although you can't repeat it in principle, it is necessary to repeat your most dazzling trump card, but in different forms? You're not stupid enough to copy, are you? For example, your most proud organizational ability, you talked about yourself in your resume? Successfully organized hand-in-hand activities for Chinese and French pupils in 2004? ; Then you can define this activity a little in the motivation letter and say it? This activity proves my ability and experience in organizing activities? . You got it? This is the relationship!
I believe that every student who will or has already studied in France knows that it is necessary to write a visa before going abroad? Study abroad program? It should be translated into French. I was looking for a retired professor in Guangzhou. Who translated it for me? Motivational letter? . At that time, I thought it was because he was old and confused, urging him to change to the same as other students? Leproject des etudes en France? . But he always said he didn't agree with anything, so that I secretly scolded him dozens of times, and now I feel guilty thinking about it. In fact, for the French, there is nothing. Study abroad program? Practical writing, such as writing study plans and career plans, is included in the motivation letter. I have never seen anything named after it in France. Like some universities, it is required to explain the course plan in the motivation letter. This part is very important. You should study the course carefully before you start writing, otherwise you will. Is ETRE a plaque? The bull's head is not right. Even in the same major, the curriculum arrangement of each university is different, and the emphasis is different. What about computers? Text copying? The function of is not very useful. I really want to ask those buddies who have copied dozens of resumes and motivation letters: Is this really useful?
Do we have to write the motive letter by hand? This is also a question that is often asked. I guess this problem will only happen in France? Old-fashioned? This country. In the United States, Canada and many other western countries, handwritten things are basically unacceptable, while many institutions in France are still taking pleasure in studying handwriting. It can be said that China is a country where handwritten motive letters are popular, but the situation has also changed in recent years. Most employers and educational institutions no longer emphasize manuscrite, and even some institutions have declared that they do not accept handwritten materials. I think, as long as the other party doesn't explicitly request it, the motivation letter can be printed by computer like CV, which can avoid the embarrassment of not writing beautifully. Second, we can buy time and stay one step ahead? Especially when looking for a job, it is important to hurry. But if handwriting is required, you can climb the grid honestly, even if your handwriting is ugly. Of course, if you write well, you can shine even if others don't ask you. I still prefer to print by computer, because it can typeset beautiful text formats, and the French version of WORD can help us correct spelling and grammar mistakes. Handwriting is often related to verb inflections but forgets the coordination of sex numbers, and sometimes it is not found after several inspections. If it had been put in the computer, it would have been marked with a red line, and there were suggestions for revision. WORD's spelling and grammar checking functions are vividly displayed in French, which also shows the rigor of French grammar.
These general frameworks and basic contents must be mastered by yourself, because even professional tutors can't help you come up with the content and framework, and their modifications are mostly limited to grammar and expression. Of course, in addition to those professional consulting companies, they will help you from content to form. Write your resume and motivation letter. Anyway, get someone to read it for you. As some people say, even pulling a local in the street is better than writing behind closed doors. Previous Page [1] [2] Next Page
