“Keywords” and “Wrong Moves” of on-line job application
網上申請職位的“關鍵字”及“錯誤動作
The reason that companies require job seekers to apply for positions online is to find the person they want. So there are certain“keywords”that companies stick to when selecting applicant. In the meantime, applicants may also do some “wrong moves” that stop them from going forward in the job hunting process. Here are those “keywords” and “wrong moves” that you need to pay attention to:
  • Keywords:
    1. Major: Well-known companies usually don't limit the major of their applicants. But to some positions that has a strong major preference, you must highlight your major and your related qualifications.
    2.
    3. English: English ability is a definite requirement by many big companies. For example, some companies may require applicants to have obtained certain score or higher in the CET English exam or score in TOEFEL/IELTS. Your English conversational skills will also be a highlight.
  • Wrong Moves:
1. In order to finish the application in time, just open the web page and start the application process.
(Correct): You should be fully prepared before the application. For example, you can get to know the company culture and the areas that the company emphasizes, so that you can be fully prepared when answering open questions.

2. Details are not important.
(Correct): Don't make simple mistakes, mind your spelling and grammar. Most big companies value professionalism, so don't lose your first impression because of the mistakes you make.

3. Online application is too complicated, quit the application halfway or fill in the application casually.
→ (Correct): Normally it takes a long time to finish the online application process, some even take three to four hours, so don't give up. If you don't treat the application carefully, the only outcome will be elimination. In the job hunting process, the highest elimination rate occur in the online application process.
大公司要求應徵者在網上申請職位(俗稱“網申”),簡單的說就是要從成千上萬的申請者中找出他們想要的人。所以大公司在網申的過程中,會依據幾個“關鍵字”進行篩選,而求職者往往也會在網申中做出一些“錯誤動作”,導致他們的申請未能順利通過篩選。下面就是網申的“關鍵字”以及申請者的“錯誤動作”:
  • 關鍵字:
    1. 專業:知名企業基本對專業沒有嚴格要求,但對於明確要求專業的職位,一定要突出自己的專業及獲得的與專業相關的認證。
    2.
    3. 英語:許多大公司對英語能力有明確的要求,例如英語四六級成績達到一定分數線,或是託福、雅思的高分成績證明。如果能夠體現自己的口語能力則更加搶眼。
  • 錯誤動作:
1. 為了及時提交申請,打開網頁直接申請。
→(正確做法):在申請前,應該做好充分準備。比如,看看公司的企業文化,公司所強調的方方面面,這樣在回答開放性問題時能有充分準備,不致白忙一場。

2. 細節並不重要,只要差不多就可以了。
→(正確做法):千萬少犯低級錯誤,注意拼寫、語法等細節問題。一般大公司都比較注重專業精神,不要因為低級錯誤而失去寶貴的印象分。

3. 感覺網申太麻煩,填了一半就放棄,或是隨便填寫。
→(正確做法):網申過程一般情況下需要很長的時間,有的甚至三四個小時,所以大家千萬不要放棄。不認真填寫的唯一結果就是被淘汰。在現在的求職過程中,淘汰率最高的就是網申!
