2.列個清單
If the job is a good match, the next step is to make a connection between your skills and the employer's requirements, is to create a list of the preferred qualifications for the ideal candidate for your target job. ?If a job advertisement is well written and detailed, you might be able to assemble much of your list right from the ad.

?
3. Get More Information

Sometimes ads for jobs are very short and don't reveal much about the employer's expectations. Try looking on the company's website, since there might be a longer description in the human resources section of their site than in the ad you saw.
