在傳統(tǒng)的求職管道中，準備履歷表(Resume)和求職信(Cover letter)是必然的一道程
序。而人事主管部門面對成千的履歷表及求職信，其平均瀏覽的時間不過一至三分鐘。
因此，如何在眾多的應(yīng)征者中脫穎而出，受到青睞，個人之學歷及能力固然重要，但一
份經(jīng)過設(shè)計，適當包裝的履歷表，雖然不保證找到一份工作，卻很可能因此讓人耳目一
新而獲得面試的機會。即使在新時代，注重人際關(guān)系網(wǎng)絡(luò)，毛遂自薦，主動拜訪的求職
方式下，一份簡潔有力的履歷表，依然是個人隨身不可或缺的重要資料之一。
履歷表及求職信的撰寫并沒有嚴格的格式要求，但基本上一些重要訊息仍應(yīng)適當處
理，有關(guān)履歷表及求職信之各種格式或撰寫方式可進一步參考有關(guān)書籍。
一、履歷表
履歷表的主要目的乃在獲得面試的機會，并且在面試時作為對談的參考依據(jù)，因此應(yīng)
針對工作要求及求職目標逐一設(shè)計，以平實簡潔方式表達個人之學經(jīng)歷與應(yīng)征工作間之
配合關(guān)系。
1、撰寫履歷表前之準備：
(1)專人代寫或自行撰寫：時下雖然履歷表專業(yè)服務(wù)公司甚為流行，但因服務(wù)人員素質(zhì)
良莠不齊，對顧客之認識亦屬有限，其為達推銷目的，往往在行文用語上展現(xiàn)夸張花
俏，而內(nèi)容很可能空洞不切實際。因此專家們大多鼓勵求職者自行設(shè)計并撰寫履歷表。
一來可以針對各種不同工作性質(zhì)或工作要求，重新篩濾個人學經(jīng)歷、專長，逐一設(shè)計符
合各個工作應(yīng)征之需求；二來可以節(jié)省一筆開銷。一份好的履歷表不是急就章可以完成
的，而是需要一而再、再而三地修改過濾，因此，在準備履歷表時，時間是絕對不可節(jié)
省的。
(2)紙張及繕打設(shè)備：履歷表所有之紙張以純白或淡白色品質(zhì)佳者為主，紙張大小以
8.5x11之規(guī)格為原則。避免使用彩色紙張，一來過于花俏，二來不易閱讀?？槾驎r以潔
凈為原則，近來計算機文書排版便捷，而且日后修改容易，對于履歷文書之處理是很理
想的工具，唯打印時應(yīng)以激光打印機打印，針式打印機有礙美觀，應(yīng)避免使用。
(3)語氣及用語：用語上力求平實、簡潔、不吹噓夸大，但字里行間仍應(yīng)透露出自信及
個人之才能。
2、履歷表之主要內(nèi)容：
(1)姓名、地址、電話：如通訊處無公司住家或日夜之別者，則應(yīng)將姓名、地址、電話
置于紙張起首處之中央（例一），若通訊處有地點、時間之別者，則姓名列于起首中
央，而將通訊地址、電話分置于左上及右上方之處（例二）。
例一：
Game McGuire
1724 Green Street
Indianapolis, IN 46204
(317)896-4289
例二：
Mary Jane Doe
Home Address: School Address:
2340 Longfellow Street Hamilton Hall, R-226
EL Segundo, CA90245 State University
(213)555-6582 San Jose, CA94587
(408)555-5065
(3)工作目標 (Objective)：這項內(nèi)容視情況需要而定。如果能明確界定出求職目標，
則可以讓雇主輕易地掌握到求職者是否為其所需。好能針對自己的興趣，準備不只一
個目標，每一份履歷表只放一個目標，在界定時避免太狹隘，以免喪失機會。人力資源
專家認為除非對應(yīng)征職位、職務(wù)性質(zhì)、工作地點、工作性質(zhì)、行業(yè)有相當確定之認識
時，才須加入目標此項，否則若求職范圍廣泛，而且興趣不固定者，好省略目標一
項，以免受撰述限制而失去其它面試的機會。
(4)教育程度(Education)：以倒敘方式詳列每項學位、獲得日期、就讀學校、就讀系
所、學業(yè)成績優(yōu)良者甚至可以列出GPA成績，或班上排名，或百分比。一般人事主管認
為只有學業(yè)成績表現(xiàn)不佳者才會藏拙不列出成績及名次。而若主修成績優(yōu)于總平均，而
主修與應(yīng)征職位密切相關(guān)者則不妨以如下方式列出：
Overall: GPA: 3.5 (on 4.0 basis)
Major: Economics. GPA: 3.85
具博士學位者則另須列出博士論文標題，指導(dǎo)教授姓名以及以二、三行摘述論文菁
華。榮譽及獎項 (Honors & Awards)可列于「教育」大項中，也可另行獨立分項以顯示
個人杰出表現(xiàn)之處，列敘時亦依日期倒敘列出。
(5)工作經(jīng)驗(Work experience)：內(nèi)容應(yīng)包括受雇單位、地點、職稱、就職時間（年
月即可）、擔任職務(wù)、工作表現(xiàn)。在說明工作表現(xiàn)時盡量以量化方式表達，例如：提高
總產(chǎn)值10%，而且應(yīng)以誠實為原則，若為團隊完成者，不應(yīng)將功勞攬在一己身上，吹噓
很容易被視破。描述時不須以完整句子表達，而是以Action Verbs為首（附一）說明工
作成就、具體事實等。若仍在學無就業(yè)經(jīng)驗者，則應(yīng)強調(diào)研究成果或課外活動表現(xiàn)，打
工經(jīng)驗等。
(6)其它可獨立分項者：特殊技能如計算機語言專長，熟悉軟件及硬設(shè)備等?；蛉缯Z言
能力（各種外語之熟稔程度，包括聽說讀寫），參加之專業(yè)團體或協(xié)會、社團組織，擔
任職務(wù)等足以展現(xiàn)個人社交活躍之能力，再如執(zhí)照專利及特別證書等亦可列出其獲頒日
期，獲頒單位。至于重要論著(Publication)若為數(shù)不多，則可列入履歷表內(nèi)，但為避
免履歷表篇幅過長，通常論著多者以采附算方式獨立附于履歷表之后。服軍職者，不管
義務(wù)與否，或可獨立列出并載明日期或并于工作經(jīng)驗之中。
(7)推薦人(Reference)，一般只有學術(shù)研究性質(zhì)之工作需詳細列出推薦人之姓名、職
稱、聯(lián)絡(luò)電話、地址等信息。否則當應(yīng)征單位沒有要求時，不須主動附上，以免有不良
影響。處理時只須于履歷表之末寫上：References available upon request，但心底
應(yīng)有幾個推薦人可備詢，以防有求才單位咨詢，而推薦人之人選必須是對自己有基本認
識，印象佳，且愿給予支持者。聲譽卓著之人選雖然具影響力，但其不見得有正面支持
時反可能造成反效果，因此未必是適合之人選。
3、履歷表的格式：
一份好的履歷表未必放諸天下而皆準，能表現(xiàn)個人特色，爭取面試機會者即是好的履
歷表。有些人學歷表現(xiàn)優(yōu)于工作經(jīng)歷，有些人則相反，此二類人之履歷表之格式設(shè)計上
比重就不盡相同。在個人學經(jīng)歷中愈是重要，愈顯現(xiàn)個人優(yōu)越者愈應(yīng)擺在前頭。學歷佳
者可優(yōu)先說明教育程度，但畢業(yè)就業(yè)已久者，似乎以強調(diào)工作經(jīng)驗為佳。
履歷表的格式也因個人使用時機不同而主要可分為二類。一是年序式
(Chronological)，一是才具式(Functional)。前者將履歷表主要內(nèi)容分項，依時間發(fā)
生先后倒敘而下；而后者則忽視時間之重要性，將工作經(jīng)驗一項重新打散，依技能項目
排列組合歸類于各不同之技能小項下?；蚩杀Ａ艄ぷ鹘?jīng)驗之標題，或另以資歷
(Qualifications)取代，時間順序不再是才具式履歷表排序的標準。例如范例二（附
三）Qualifications下列有Communication Skills, Leadership Skills, Community
Skills。這些技能分項除了可依個人技能類別分項外，亦可針對工作要求之技能，特別
是Leadership Skill, Writing Skill, Communication Skill等常見之工作要求，加以
分類。通常資歷或技能下歸納出四至六種才能，每一才能下另列三至四種工作成就。以
下僅就此二種履歷表使用時機及優(yōu)缺點分析如下：
甲、年序式：
(1)使用時機：
a、個人事業(yè)（或?qū)W業(yè)）相當連續(xù)，并未有連續(xù)失業(yè)達一年以上之事實，而且也沒
有未充分就業(yè)(即兼差半職)的情形，同時在工作表現(xiàn)上持續(xù)進展，此點可從工作升遷及
擔任職務(wù)之重要性窺出一般，就業(yè)尚稱穩(wěn)定，未見經(jīng)常跳槽轉(zhuǎn)業(yè)之例。
b、目前工作經(jīng)驗或整體就業(yè)經(jīng)歷，與求職目標息息相關(guān)。因為倒敘式說明工作經(jīng)
驗，可讓雇主明白應(yīng)征者當前工作性質(zhì)是否對應(yīng)征工作之勝任，而且是否有轉(zhuǎn)業(yè)傾向。
同時整體之工作經(jīng)歷可以說明專長及經(jīng)驗之累積符合工作目標之要求，因此非常適合從
事性質(zhì)相近之職務(wù)時使用。
(2)優(yōu)缺點：
a、優(yōu)點：對人事部門而言，年序式履歷表依時間循序漸進，易讀而且可輕易判斷
應(yīng)征者過往服務(wù)單位之聲譽，進而推斷應(yīng)征者之工作表現(xiàn)優(yōu)劣與否。而對求職者而言，
因時間排序邏輯清楚，因此撰寫安排上較才具式容易。
b、缺點：太強調(diào)個人進展及事業(yè)連續(xù)或穩(wěn)定性，容易使個人專長受到忽略，因此
在轉(zhuǎn)業(yè)時無法突顯出個人才能與應(yīng)征職位間之相關(guān)。此外太過重視當前經(jīng)驗及成就，若
應(yīng)征職位與早期經(jīng)歷相關(guān)，則無法在年序式履歷表中優(yōu)先表達出來。再者就業(yè)中斷或未
充分就業(yè)，都可在時間序列中一眼看出端詳，對于個人能力之評估有不良之影響。透過
時間與學經(jīng)歷間之關(guān)連亦可推測出求職之年齡，有時也會影響面試機會。
乙、才具式：
根據(jù)統(tǒng)計，只有20%——25%的雇主會接受這種履歷表。因為這類履歷表很容易讓人聯(lián)想
到失業(yè)、就業(yè)中斷或轉(zhuǎn)業(yè)等因素避而不用年序式履歷表。因此除非有特殊因素，否則
好采用年序式。
(1)使用時機：
當個人有失業(yè)或就業(yè)中斷、未充分就業(yè)、經(jīng)常轉(zhuǎn)換工作、轉(zhuǎn)業(yè)需要，以及個人事業(yè)無
明顯進展，且無優(yōu)秀之學經(jīng)歷或當前工作經(jīng)驗與工作目標不相吻合者，不妨考慮以才具
式之履歷表強調(diào)個人整體之專長及資歷。
(2)優(yōu)缺點：
a、優(yōu)點：在格式設(shè)計上，因不受時間順序之限制（時間甚至可以不提），故而無
法推斷個人之就業(yè)史，而且也無從知道失業(yè)或轉(zhuǎn)業(yè)之負面事實，而且也不易從中推測出
年齡。同時重點強調(diào)的是個人資歷、專長與工作目標間之關(guān)系，因此面對不同工作要
求，只須將專長資歷項下及才能依重要性重新排列，故可適用于一個以上的工作申請，
個人專長可以獲得較多的關(guān)注。
b、缺點：容易讓人懷疑使用此類履歷表之動機，而且不易閱讀，增添人事部門主
觀判斷以及揣測的空間。
4、注意事項：
(1)長度：履歷表的長度以不超過二頁為原則，若能在一頁之內(nèi)表達清楚更佳，而在這
一至二頁中應(yīng)充分說明「Who are you?」、「What do you want to do?」以及「What
have you done?」。
(2)版面設(shè)計：利用打字技巧如分標題 (heading)、大寫、描黑、字底畫線
(underline)、黑點 (dot)、星號(＊)、縮格(indent)等方式，使各項內(nèi)容一目瞭然，
而且字體大小應(yīng)適當選擇，同時紙張二邊留白應(yīng)力求平衡，不可左傾或右偏。
(3)內(nèi)容校對：文法、拼字、標點符號務(wù)求精確，好請學校專業(yè)人員
(Career Advisor) 或外籍朋友有任職經(jīng)驗者看過，并且征詢有無修改補充之處。
(4)組織結(jié)構(gòu)：撰寫時把握 Clarity（用語簡潔并且與職位相關(guān)）、 Conciseness（盡
量在一至二頁中表達）、Forcefully（所傳遞之訊息，強而有力介紹個人能力）。不可
太過繁瑣，以顯草率。但也不可太過貧乏而有遺珠之憾，終目的必須引起求才單位之
閱讀興趣。
(5)用詞遣句：在紙張起首處，不須加上Resume字眼，多此一舉。說明工作表現(xiàn)以電報
(telex)式語氣具體表達。句子不須強加主詞，尤其忌諱出現(xiàn)主詞 "I"，容易流于幼稚
膚淺。省略 "I"已是履歷表撰寫上約定俗成的用法。
(6)除非求才單位要求加附照片，否則照片絕不可黏貼于履歷表中。
二、求職信(Cover Letter)
在求職過程中，除了利用履歷表來簡介并推銷自己外，依例仍須附上一封求職信，告
訴求才單位，你對該工作之勝任及申請意愿。履歷表是求職程序中之主體，但求職信卻
可補其不足，達到畫龍點睛，錦上添花之妙用。因此可將一些無法在履歷表中充分發(fā)揮
之個人專長或才能，透過求職信詳細說明，藉由履歷表及求職信之相輔相成，爭取到面
試的機會。
1、求職信的格式(Format)：
(1)如商業(yè)文書，信首右上方是發(fā)信地址及發(fā)信日期。接下來，左上方則是收信人姓
名、職稱、收信地址（包括公司名稱），有關(guān)收信人之姓名及職稱應(yīng)調(diào)查清楚。如不確
定，可去電該公司總機查詢，并查詢該人事甄選負責人之姓名，以便冠稱 Mr.or
Ms.(Mrs.)。
(2)敬稱語：Dear Mr., Mrs.or Ms.姓，只稱呼其姓，而不須全名列出（但需注意的
是，前文提到收信人，則應(yīng)列出全名，即 Mr. (firstname)+(last name)，此敬稱語千
萬不可因不確定收信人為何而以 "To whom it may concern" 取代，此舉讓人覺得草率
而且缺乏誠意。
(3)正文：通常分為三至四段，并且以一頁為原則，除非必要，方使用二頁。
a、第一段：說明寫此信之原因，從那里得知此工作，例如就業(yè)輔導(dǎo)處 (Career
Center, Placement Office) 、報紙、朋友、師長；欲應(yīng)征何種職位，并簡介自己資歷
與職位要求相吻合，進而說明工作目標。但注意此處所提之工作目標應(yīng)與履歷表中所列
之工作目標一致。例如：
Ms Dorothy Johes from your faculty encouraged me to write you regarding a
possible teaching position in North High School when I graduated from
college. This June I will receive the B.A.degree from Indiana University,
and I would like to teach in my hometown, Columbus, Ohio. (Source: Your Job
or Graduate School Search, P191.)
b、第二段：說明你為何對該工作感興趣，為何你認為你的資歷符合工作要求，并
進一步闡述自己之專業(yè)才能、工作經(jīng)驗、所修課程，避免復(fù)述履歷表的用語。例：
You will see from my resume that I have strong quantitative background:15
credits of advanced high school and college mathematics, including basic and
advanced calculus, probability and statistics, and basic accounting,
GPA:3.6．(Source: "Resume Writing," "The Cover Letter," Career Service
Center, Princeton University, P19.)
c、第三段：指出隨函附寄履歷表供參考，同時說明履歷表中乃記載個人之相關(guān)資
歷及背景。這段可長可短，或者與前段對照（前段可寫學業(yè)表現(xiàn)），另再舉證工作表
現(xiàn)，說明自己的才能乃應(yīng)征職位之所需。例：
Enclosed is my resume to detail my backgrounds and qualifications.
或?qū)⒏郊囊皇陋毩⒂诮Y(jié)論之首，此段僅進一步說明資歷?？傊?，務(wù)必讓收信人明白履歷
表己隨函附寄。
(4)結(jié)論：希望收信人收悉后會采取一些有利之行動，如提供面試或電話訪談?；蛘吒?BR> 積極主動說明電詢或拜訪之意。
例一： I would be happy to meet with you and discuss career opportunities at
（公司名）.
例二： I would like to discuss career opportunities and my qualification
with you personally.
若有地利之便或時間許可，可能于幾月幾日幾點電詢申請結(jié)果或當面會談。后可加
上客套話如：Thank you for your consideration或 I am looking forward to our
meeting.
三、注意事項
1、每封信應(yīng)原版打字打印，不可以影印本代替。
2、所有寄出去的信都應(yīng)保留影本，以備查閱并回函。
3、紙張以白色及淡白色為主，三折放入9-10吋大之信封內(nèi)。
4、信末一定要記得簽名，工作性質(zhì)不同之信好分別撰寫，不要以通稿代之。但若性
質(zhì)雷同之工作，以同內(nèi)容之信分寄不同公司時，應(yīng)仔細核對信首、信中及信封提到公司
名稱時皆完全一致，免得張冠李戴，錯誤百出。
5、用語簡潔，避免陳腔濫調(diào)及空泛含糊的字句，語氣力求平實不花俏，同時每段起首
避免以主詞 "I"開頭，字里行間充滿自信，但不夸大。
6、寄信時，避免在收信人于星期一或星期五收到，若有截止日期或是應(yīng)征報紙廣告上
之工作者，則愈早寄愈好，免得人選補齊后，不再錄用。
7、求職數(shù)據(jù)寄出后，盡管文情并茂，頗具說服力，但也不能保證一定有面談機會。不
過當寄出后二周內(nèi)仍未收到回音，則不妨去電詢問應(yīng)征結(jié)果，以示對此事之重視及態(tài)度
之積極。

序。而人事主管部門面對成千的履歷表及求職信，其平均瀏覽的時間不過一至三分鐘。
因此，如何在眾多的應(yīng)征者中脫穎而出，受到青睞，個人之學歷及能力固然重要，但一
份經(jīng)過設(shè)計，適當包裝的履歷表，雖然不保證找到一份工作，卻很可能因此讓人耳目一
新而獲得面試的機會。即使在新時代，注重人際關(guān)系網(wǎng)絡(luò)，毛遂自薦，主動拜訪的求職
方式下，一份簡潔有力的履歷表，依然是個人隨身不可或缺的重要資料之一。
履歷表及求職信的撰寫并沒有嚴格的格式要求，但基本上一些重要訊息仍應(yīng)適當處
理，有關(guān)履歷表及求職信之各種格式或撰寫方式可進一步參考有關(guān)書籍。
一、履歷表
履歷表的主要目的乃在獲得面試的機會，并且在面試時作為對談的參考依據(jù)，因此應(yīng)
針對工作要求及求職目標逐一設(shè)計，以平實簡潔方式表達個人之學經(jīng)歷與應(yīng)征工作間之
配合關(guān)系。
1、撰寫履歷表前之準備：
(1)專人代寫或自行撰寫：時下雖然履歷表專業(yè)服務(wù)公司甚為流行，但因服務(wù)人員素質(zhì)
良莠不齊，對顧客之認識亦屬有限，其為達推銷目的，往往在行文用語上展現(xiàn)夸張花
俏，而內(nèi)容很可能空洞不切實際。因此專家們大多鼓勵求職者自行設(shè)計并撰寫履歷表。
一來可以針對各種不同工作性質(zhì)或工作要求，重新篩濾個人學經(jīng)歷、專長，逐一設(shè)計符
合各個工作應(yīng)征之需求；二來可以節(jié)省一筆開銷。一份好的履歷表不是急就章可以完成
的，而是需要一而再、再而三地修改過濾，因此，在準備履歷表時，時間是絕對不可節(jié)
省的。
(2)紙張及繕打設(shè)備：履歷表所有之紙張以純白或淡白色品質(zhì)佳者為主，紙張大小以
8.5x11之規(guī)格為原則。避免使用彩色紙張，一來過于花俏，二來不易閱讀?？槾驎r以潔
凈為原則，近來計算機文書排版便捷，而且日后修改容易，對于履歷文書之處理是很理
想的工具，唯打印時應(yīng)以激光打印機打印，針式打印機有礙美觀，應(yīng)避免使用。
(3)語氣及用語：用語上力求平實、簡潔、不吹噓夸大，但字里行間仍應(yīng)透露出自信及
個人之才能。
2、履歷表之主要內(nèi)容：
(1)姓名、地址、電話：如通訊處無公司住家或日夜之別者，則應(yīng)將姓名、地址、電話
置于紙張起首處之中央（例一），若通訊處有地點、時間之別者，則姓名列于起首中
央，而將通訊地址、電話分置于左上及右上方之處（例二）。
例一：
Game McGuire
1724 Green Street
Indianapolis, IN 46204
(317)896-4289
例二：
Mary Jane Doe
Home Address: School Address:
2340 Longfellow Street Hamilton Hall, R-226
EL Segundo, CA90245 State University
(213)555-6582 San Jose, CA94587
(408)555-5065
(3)工作目標 (Objective)：這項內(nèi)容視情況需要而定。如果能明確界定出求職目標，
則可以讓雇主輕易地掌握到求職者是否為其所需。好能針對自己的興趣，準備不只一
個目標，每一份履歷表只放一個目標，在界定時避免太狹隘，以免喪失機會。人力資源
專家認為除非對應(yīng)征職位、職務(wù)性質(zhì)、工作地點、工作性質(zhì)、行業(yè)有相當確定之認識
時，才須加入目標此項，否則若求職范圍廣泛，而且興趣不固定者，好省略目標一
項，以免受撰述限制而失去其它面試的機會。
(4)教育程度(Education)：以倒敘方式詳列每項學位、獲得日期、就讀學校、就讀系
所、學業(yè)成績優(yōu)良者甚至可以列出GPA成績，或班上排名，或百分比。一般人事主管認
為只有學業(yè)成績表現(xiàn)不佳者才會藏拙不列出成績及名次。而若主修成績優(yōu)于總平均，而
主修與應(yīng)征職位密切相關(guān)者則不妨以如下方式列出：
Overall: GPA: 3.5 (on 4.0 basis)
Major: Economics. GPA: 3.85
具博士學位者則另須列出博士論文標題，指導(dǎo)教授姓名以及以二、三行摘述論文菁
華。榮譽及獎項 (Honors & Awards)可列于「教育」大項中，也可另行獨立分項以顯示
個人杰出表現(xiàn)之處，列敘時亦依日期倒敘列出。
(5)工作經(jīng)驗(Work experience)：內(nèi)容應(yīng)包括受雇單位、地點、職稱、就職時間（年
月即可）、擔任職務(wù)、工作表現(xiàn)。在說明工作表現(xiàn)時盡量以量化方式表達，例如：提高
總產(chǎn)值10%，而且應(yīng)以誠實為原則，若為團隊完成者，不應(yīng)將功勞攬在一己身上，吹噓
很容易被視破。描述時不須以完整句子表達，而是以Action Verbs為首（附一）說明工
作成就、具體事實等。若仍在學無就業(yè)經(jīng)驗者，則應(yīng)強調(diào)研究成果或課外活動表現(xiàn)，打
工經(jīng)驗等。
(6)其它可獨立分項者：特殊技能如計算機語言專長，熟悉軟件及硬設(shè)備等?；蛉缯Z言
能力（各種外語之熟稔程度，包括聽說讀寫），參加之專業(yè)團體或協(xié)會、社團組織，擔
任職務(wù)等足以展現(xiàn)個人社交活躍之能力，再如執(zhí)照專利及特別證書等亦可列出其獲頒日
期，獲頒單位。至于重要論著(Publication)若為數(shù)不多，則可列入履歷表內(nèi)，但為避
免履歷表篇幅過長，通常論著多者以采附算方式獨立附于履歷表之后。服軍職者，不管
義務(wù)與否，或可獨立列出并載明日期或并于工作經(jīng)驗之中。
(7)推薦人(Reference)，一般只有學術(shù)研究性質(zhì)之工作需詳細列出推薦人之姓名、職
稱、聯(lián)絡(luò)電話、地址等信息。否則當應(yīng)征單位沒有要求時，不須主動附上，以免有不良
影響。處理時只須于履歷表之末寫上：References available upon request，但心底
應(yīng)有幾個推薦人可備詢，以防有求才單位咨詢，而推薦人之人選必須是對自己有基本認
識，印象佳，且愿給予支持者。聲譽卓著之人選雖然具影響力，但其不見得有正面支持
時反可能造成反效果，因此未必是適合之人選。
3、履歷表的格式：
一份好的履歷表未必放諸天下而皆準，能表現(xiàn)個人特色，爭取面試機會者即是好的履
歷表。有些人學歷表現(xiàn)優(yōu)于工作經(jīng)歷，有些人則相反，此二類人之履歷表之格式設(shè)計上
比重就不盡相同。在個人學經(jīng)歷中愈是重要，愈顯現(xiàn)個人優(yōu)越者愈應(yīng)擺在前頭。學歷佳
者可優(yōu)先說明教育程度，但畢業(yè)就業(yè)已久者，似乎以強調(diào)工作經(jīng)驗為佳。
履歷表的格式也因個人使用時機不同而主要可分為二類。一是年序式
(Chronological)，一是才具式(Functional)。前者將履歷表主要內(nèi)容分項，依時間發(fā)
生先后倒敘而下；而后者則忽視時間之重要性，將工作經(jīng)驗一項重新打散，依技能項目
排列組合歸類于各不同之技能小項下?；蚩杀Ａ艄ぷ鹘?jīng)驗之標題，或另以資歷
(Qualifications)取代，時間順序不再是才具式履歷表排序的標準。例如范例二（附
三）Qualifications下列有Communication Skills, Leadership Skills, Community
Skills。這些技能分項除了可依個人技能類別分項外，亦可針對工作要求之技能，特別
是Leadership Skill, Writing Skill, Communication Skill等常見之工作要求，加以
分類。通常資歷或技能下歸納出四至六種才能，每一才能下另列三至四種工作成就。以
下僅就此二種履歷表使用時機及優(yōu)缺點分析如下：
甲、年序式：
(1)使用時機：
a、個人事業(yè)（或?qū)W業(yè)）相當連續(xù)，并未有連續(xù)失業(yè)達一年以上之事實，而且也沒
有未充分就業(yè)(即兼差半職)的情形，同時在工作表現(xiàn)上持續(xù)進展，此點可從工作升遷及
擔任職務(wù)之重要性窺出一般，就業(yè)尚稱穩(wěn)定，未見經(jīng)常跳槽轉(zhuǎn)業(yè)之例。
b、目前工作經(jīng)驗或整體就業(yè)經(jīng)歷，與求職目標息息相關(guān)。因為倒敘式說明工作經(jīng)
驗，可讓雇主明白應(yīng)征者當前工作性質(zhì)是否對應(yīng)征工作之勝任，而且是否有轉(zhuǎn)業(yè)傾向。
同時整體之工作經(jīng)歷可以說明專長及經(jīng)驗之累積符合工作目標之要求，因此非常適合從
事性質(zhì)相近之職務(wù)時使用。
(2)優(yōu)缺點：
a、優(yōu)點：對人事部門而言，年序式履歷表依時間循序漸進，易讀而且可輕易判斷
應(yīng)征者過往服務(wù)單位之聲譽，進而推斷應(yīng)征者之工作表現(xiàn)優(yōu)劣與否。而對求職者而言，
因時間排序邏輯清楚，因此撰寫安排上較才具式容易。
b、缺點：太強調(diào)個人進展及事業(yè)連續(xù)或穩(wěn)定性，容易使個人專長受到忽略，因此
在轉(zhuǎn)業(yè)時無法突顯出個人才能與應(yīng)征職位間之相關(guān)。此外太過重視當前經(jīng)驗及成就，若
應(yīng)征職位與早期經(jīng)歷相關(guān)，則無法在年序式履歷表中優(yōu)先表達出來。再者就業(yè)中斷或未
充分就業(yè)，都可在時間序列中一眼看出端詳，對于個人能力之評估有不良之影響。透過
時間與學經(jīng)歷間之關(guān)連亦可推測出求職之年齡，有時也會影響面試機會。
乙、才具式：
根據(jù)統(tǒng)計，只有20%——25%的雇主會接受這種履歷表。因為這類履歷表很容易讓人聯(lián)想
到失業(yè)、就業(yè)中斷或轉(zhuǎn)業(yè)等因素避而不用年序式履歷表。因此除非有特殊因素，否則
好采用年序式。
(1)使用時機：
當個人有失業(yè)或就業(yè)中斷、未充分就業(yè)、經(jīng)常轉(zhuǎn)換工作、轉(zhuǎn)業(yè)需要，以及個人事業(yè)無
明顯進展，且無優(yōu)秀之學經(jīng)歷或當前工作經(jīng)驗與工作目標不相吻合者，不妨考慮以才具
式之履歷表強調(diào)個人整體之專長及資歷。
(2)優(yōu)缺點：
a、優(yōu)點：在格式設(shè)計上，因不受時間順序之限制（時間甚至可以不提），故而無
法推斷個人之就業(yè)史，而且也無從知道失業(yè)或轉(zhuǎn)業(yè)之負面事實，而且也不易從中推測出
年齡。同時重點強調(diào)的是個人資歷、專長與工作目標間之關(guān)系，因此面對不同工作要
求，只須將專長資歷項下及才能依重要性重新排列，故可適用于一個以上的工作申請，
個人專長可以獲得較多的關(guān)注。
b、缺點：容易讓人懷疑使用此類履歷表之動機，而且不易閱讀，增添人事部門主
觀判斷以及揣測的空間。
4、注意事項：
(1)長度：履歷表的長度以不超過二頁為原則，若能在一頁之內(nèi)表達清楚更佳，而在這
一至二頁中應(yīng)充分說明「Who are you?」、「What do you want to do?」以及「What
have you done?」。
(2)版面設(shè)計：利用打字技巧如分標題 (heading)、大寫、描黑、字底畫線
(underline)、黑點 (dot)、星號(＊)、縮格(indent)等方式，使各項內(nèi)容一目瞭然，
而且字體大小應(yīng)適當選擇，同時紙張二邊留白應(yīng)力求平衡，不可左傾或右偏。
(3)內(nèi)容校對：文法、拼字、標點符號務(wù)求精確，好請學校專業(yè)人員
(Career Advisor) 或外籍朋友有任職經(jīng)驗者看過，并且征詢有無修改補充之處。
(4)組織結(jié)構(gòu)：撰寫時把握 Clarity（用語簡潔并且與職位相關(guān)）、 Conciseness（盡
量在一至二頁中表達）、Forcefully（所傳遞之訊息，強而有力介紹個人能力）。不可
太過繁瑣，以顯草率。但也不可太過貧乏而有遺珠之憾，終目的必須引起求才單位之
閱讀興趣。
(5)用詞遣句：在紙張起首處，不須加上Resume字眼，多此一舉。說明工作表現(xiàn)以電報
(telex)式語氣具體表達。句子不須強加主詞，尤其忌諱出現(xiàn)主詞 "I"，容易流于幼稚
膚淺。省略 "I"已是履歷表撰寫上約定俗成的用法。
(6)除非求才單位要求加附照片，否則照片絕不可黏貼于履歷表中。
二、求職信(Cover Letter)
在求職過程中，除了利用履歷表來簡介并推銷自己外，依例仍須附上一封求職信，告
訴求才單位，你對該工作之勝任及申請意愿。履歷表是求職程序中之主體，但求職信卻
可補其不足，達到畫龍點睛，錦上添花之妙用。因此可將一些無法在履歷表中充分發(fā)揮
之個人專長或才能，透過求職信詳細說明，藉由履歷表及求職信之相輔相成，爭取到面
試的機會。
1、求職信的格式(Format)：
(1)如商業(yè)文書，信首右上方是發(fā)信地址及發(fā)信日期。接下來，左上方則是收信人姓
名、職稱、收信地址（包括公司名稱），有關(guān)收信人之姓名及職稱應(yīng)調(diào)查清楚。如不確
定，可去電該公司總機查詢，并查詢該人事甄選負責人之姓名，以便冠稱 Mr.or
Ms.(Mrs.)。
(2)敬稱語：Dear Mr., Mrs.or Ms.姓，只稱呼其姓，而不須全名列出（但需注意的
是，前文提到收信人，則應(yīng)列出全名，即 Mr. (firstname)+(last name)，此敬稱語千
萬不可因不確定收信人為何而以 "To whom it may concern" 取代，此舉讓人覺得草率
而且缺乏誠意。
(3)正文：通常分為三至四段，并且以一頁為原則，除非必要，方使用二頁。
a、第一段：說明寫此信之原因，從那里得知此工作，例如就業(yè)輔導(dǎo)處 (Career
Center, Placement Office) 、報紙、朋友、師長；欲應(yīng)征何種職位，并簡介自己資歷
與職位要求相吻合，進而說明工作目標。但注意此處所提之工作目標應(yīng)與履歷表中所列
之工作目標一致。例如：
Ms Dorothy Johes from your faculty encouraged me to write you regarding a
possible teaching position in North High School when I graduated from
college. This June I will receive the B.A.degree from Indiana University,
and I would like to teach in my hometown, Columbus, Ohio. (Source: Your Job
or Graduate School Search, P191.)
b、第二段：說明你為何對該工作感興趣，為何你認為你的資歷符合工作要求，并
進一步闡述自己之專業(yè)才能、工作經(jīng)驗、所修課程，避免復(fù)述履歷表的用語。例：
You will see from my resume that I have strong quantitative background:15
credits of advanced high school and college mathematics, including basic and
advanced calculus, probability and statistics, and basic accounting,
GPA:3.6．(Source: "Resume Writing," "The Cover Letter," Career Service
Center, Princeton University, P19.)
c、第三段：指出隨函附寄履歷表供參考，同時說明履歷表中乃記載個人之相關(guān)資
歷及背景。這段可長可短，或者與前段對照（前段可寫學業(yè)表現(xiàn)），另再舉證工作表
現(xiàn)，說明自己的才能乃應(yīng)征職位之所需。例：
Enclosed is my resume to detail my backgrounds and qualifications.
或?qū)⒏郊囊皇陋毩⒂诮Y(jié)論之首，此段僅進一步說明資歷?？傊?，務(wù)必讓收信人明白履歷
表己隨函附寄。
(4)結(jié)論：希望收信人收悉后會采取一些有利之行動，如提供面試或電話訪談?；蛘吒?BR> 積極主動說明電詢或拜訪之意。
例一： I would be happy to meet with you and discuss career opportunities at
（公司名）.
例二： I would like to discuss career opportunities and my qualification
with you personally.
若有地利之便或時間許可，可能于幾月幾日幾點電詢申請結(jié)果或當面會談。后可加
上客套話如：Thank you for your consideration或 I am looking forward to our
meeting.
三、注意事項
1、每封信應(yīng)原版打字打印，不可以影印本代替。
2、所有寄出去的信都應(yīng)保留影本，以備查閱并回函。
3、紙張以白色及淡白色為主，三折放入9-10吋大之信封內(nèi)。
4、信末一定要記得簽名，工作性質(zhì)不同之信好分別撰寫，不要以通稿代之。但若性
質(zhì)雷同之工作，以同內(nèi)容之信分寄不同公司時，應(yīng)仔細核對信首、信中及信封提到公司
名稱時皆完全一致，免得張冠李戴，錯誤百出。
5、用語簡潔，避免陳腔濫調(diào)及空泛含糊的字句，語氣力求平實不花俏，同時每段起首
避免以主詞 "I"開頭，字里行間充滿自信，但不夸大。
6、寄信時，避免在收信人于星期一或星期五收到，若有截止日期或是應(yīng)征報紙廣告上
之工作者，則愈早寄愈好，免得人選補齊后，不再錄用。
7、求職數(shù)據(jù)寄出后，盡管文情并茂，頗具說服力，但也不能保證一定有面談機會。不
過當寄出后二周內(nèi)仍未收到回音，則不妨去電詢問應(yīng)征結(jié)果，以示對此事之重視及態(tài)度
之積極。

Dear Mr. Mantee:
In the March issue Of What's New in Manufacturing. I read
your advertisement seeking supervisory personnel for your
multimillion-dollar plant expansion program:. Please consider
this letter as my application for a supervisory position in
Quality Control.
Presently I am Assistant Supervisor of QualityControl at

pleasant and I enjoy it, but my wife and I want to move back
to Indiana because of the failing health of our parents, who
live here.
The enclosed resume gives a brief outline or my training and
experience. From my earliest job while a sophomore in high
school. I have liked working with machines of any kind. This
keen interest developed by my formal education and experience
in various aspects of mechanical technology, has given me a
background that should be of immense value to a supervisor.
I will be happy to supply any additional information
concerning my background or present employment. My immediate
supervisor here at Barron Enterprises is aware that I am
looking for a supervisory position with a company in the
Midwest and why I am doing so. I would Iike to have an
interview with you and although distance is an important
factor. I would be glad to fly out at your convenience if I
had at least a week's notice.
Sincerely,
Thomas D. Davis
