Employers will usually only spend a few seconds deciding if you are a good enough fit for a job to warrant a more thorough review of your resume and cover letter, so you need to make sure that it is immediately obvious that you have many of the skills, experiences and qualities that they value most highly.
通過認真閱讀你的簡歷和求職信，雇主通常幾秒鐘就能判定你是否足夠勝任這份工作。因此，你得確保你所擁有的且他們十分重視的許多技能，經(jīng)歷和品質(zhì)，讓雇主一眼就能看出來。

下面是將技能與工作對應(yīng)的一些技巧
?
It's also important to focus on your most relevant skills and strengths when interviewing. The closer your match to the position, the better your chances of job search success.
面試時把注意力集中在你最相關(guān)的技能和優(yōu)點上，這也很重要。你的技能與工作聯(lián)系得越緊密，你得到這份工作的可能性越大。

1. Analyze the Job Listing
1.分析招聘啟事
Job postings are typically broken out into several sections. Expect to see information about the company, details on the desired qualifications of applicants and a description of the responsibilities involved in the role. Some are brief, others include more details about the job and the company.
一般而言，招聘廣告會列入部分內(nèi)容。你可以看到有關(guān)公司的信息，對求職者技能條件的期望以及對相關(guān)職責(zé)的描述。有的比較簡短，有的則包含了相關(guān)工作和公司的具體信息。
?
Take the time to review the job posting, so you are familiar with what the employer wants. Here's how to decode a job advertisement, so you can decide whether to apply and start work on your resume and cover letter.
花點時間閱讀招聘啟事，可以幫助你了解清楚雇主想要什么。下面會告訴你如何解讀一份招聘廣告，這樣你就可以決定是否要申請該工作，并開始寫簡歷和求職信。
?
2. Make a List
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.
如果這份工作十分適合你，那么接下來，一方面你要將自己諸多的技能與雇主的需求聯(lián)系起來；另一方面，你要為自己目標的崗位列一份有關(guān)候選人最優(yōu)技能條件的清單。若招聘廣告寫的很好，很詳細，你就要能準確地從廣告中收集出列表里更多的技能。
?
Extract any of the keywords describing skills, qualities or experiences which the employer has listed as required or preferred. Also review the job duties and make some assumptions about the qualifications needed to carry out those duties. ?
提取出雇主羅列的認為是必須具備或者擇優(yōu)錄取的技能描述，品質(zhì)或者經(jīng)歷的任何一個關(guān)鍵字。也可以審閱相關(guān)工作職責(zé)，假設(shè)下相需要貫徹到那些責(zé)任中的技能。
?
For example, if the ad mentions that you would organize fundraising events for potential donors, you can assume that event planning skills would be highly valued and should be added to your list.
例如，廣告中提到你需要為潛在捐助者組織募集資金的活動，那么你就可以假定雇主十分重視活動策劃的技能，將這一技能添加到你的清單里。
?
3. Get More Information
3.獲取更多的信息
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.
有時候，招聘廣告很簡短，關(guān)于雇主的期望并沒有透露過多的信息。這時，請試著到公司網(wǎng)站上看看，因為那里或許有關(guān)于人力資源科的描述，這比你在招聘廣告中看到的信息更具體些。
?
Another strategy is to search job sites like and by the same job title to get a sense of what other employers are looking for in candidates. ?Also search Google to see descriptions of similar jobs. ?For example, if you are applying for a credit analyst position, try searching by the phrase "credit analyst job description."
另外一個策略就是去求職網(wǎng)站上搜索，像和。通過搜索同一個職位名稱，你可以了解到其他雇主正在尋求什么樣的候選人。也可以使用谷歌搜索來看看相似職位的描述，例如，你正要申請信用分析員一職，可以試著搜索“信用分析員工作描述”。
?
4. Need Skills to Include?
4.需要列入哪些技能？
When you're not sure about what skills or qualities to include, check this list of skills for resumes, cover letters and interviews. It includes lists of general skills most wanted by employers, plus skills for a variety of occupations. Include the most relevant skills in your resume and cover letter.
當(dāng)你不確定要列入什么技能或品質(zhì)時，檢查下簡歷，求職信和面試所需的技能清單。清單里包括了大多數(shù)雇主想要的一般技能和可以為各種各樣的職位加分的技能。請把最相關(guān)的技能寫進你的簡歷和求職信中。
?
5. Ask for Advice
5.征求意見
If you are really motivated to land a particular job, interview professionals in the field and ask them what it takes to excel in their job. Reach out to college alumni through your college's career and/or alumni office, LinkedIn contacts, and family friends to generate a list of contacts for these consultations.
若你真的主動謀得了一份特殊的工作，請去拜訪業(yè)內(nèi)的專家，向他們咨詢?nèi)绾蝿偃芜@份工作。通過大學(xué)就業(yè)處和（或者）校友會，領(lǐng)英聯(lián)系人，家族朋友聯(lián)系你的大學(xué)校友，以便創(chuàng)建一份聯(lián)系人名單。
?
6. Make a Match
6.匹配
Once you have assembled a detailed list of the qualifications for your target job, review each item on the list and try to think of how you might prove that you possess that asset. Write a sentence about as many of the qualifications as possible detailing how you used that skill or exhibited that quality in a work, volunteer, academic or co-curricular role.
一旦收集出了目標職位的技能詳細清單，請閱讀清單上的每一項，并試著思考你要如何證明具備了那個優(yōu)點。寫下其中的細節(jié)方面，越多越好。比如在一份工作中，志愿者活動中，學(xué)術(shù)研究中或者合作課程中，你是如何使用那個技能，或者展現(xiàn)那個技能的。
?
Whenever possible, point to any positive results or recognition you received while applying the skill. For example, if a job requires strong writing skills, you might say "While working as a campaign intern, I wrote press releases about the candidate's platform which resulted in two articles in the local media".
只要有可能，請指明運用該技能所取得的任何成果或贊譽。例如，如果一份工作要求出色的寫作能力，你可以說“在一次活動實習(xí)中，我寫過關(guān)于候選人政綱的新聞稿，其中有兩篇在地方媒體上發(fā)表了”。
?
7. Prioritize Your Qualifications
7.把技能按優(yōu)先順序排好
Prioritize the sentences about your qualifications and incorporate the hardest hitting statements into your cover letter. Compose a thesis statement for the beginning of your cover letter which references 2 - 4 assets which make you an excellent fit for the job.
把關(guān)于技能的句子按優(yōu)先順序排好，然后選擇最切中要害的句子寫進你的求職信。在求職信的開頭部分，請先概括你其中的2-4個應(yīng)聘資格，用他們來說明你足以勝任這份工作。
?
For example, for a bank teller job, you might say "my strong mathematics skills, customer service orientation, attentiveness to detail and ability to work with precision make this job an excellent fit for me". In subsequent paragraphs, you should provide proof of how and where you applied those skills.
例如，就銀行出納員一職而言，你可以說“我具備出色的數(shù)學(xué)計算能力，良好的客戶服務(wù)意識，較強的細節(jié)關(guān)注力和高精度的工作能力，這些優(yōu)點表明了這份工作十分適合我”。
?
8. Review Your Resume
8.復(fù)查
Review your existing resume and make sure that you have incorporated as many statements about the preferred qualifications for the job as possible. List the highest priority phrases at the beginning of your descriptions to get the most attention. ?
復(fù)查已寫好了的簡歷，確保對這個崗位你已經(jīng)陳述了盡可能多的最佳技能。在你的陳述里，請排列好優(yōu)先級，使之更具吸引力。
?
If you have a couple of jobs which are more qualifying than others, you might develop a lead category towards the top of your resume like "Related Experience" (if they are not your most recent jobs).
如果你有三兩個工作比其他工作更符合要求，或許你要選擇最重要的一個放在你簡歷的上方，像“相關(guān)經(jīng)驗”（如果他們不是你最近的工作）。
?
9. Include Headlines
9.要有大標題
Some candidates will have clusters of experiences which correspond to key qualifications. Take the example where writing and event planning are highly qualifying for a particular job.
有些求職者會有很多經(jīng)驗都與關(guān)鍵技能有關(guān)，以尤為適合這一特殊工作的寫作技能和活動策劃為例。
?
If a candidate has experiences which fit those categories, then they might have headings like "Writing Experience" and "Event Planning Experience" and place the related experiences in those sections of the resume. Relevant headings will draw the employer's attention to key qualifications at a glance.
如果某位求職者具備符合那些條件的經(jīng)歷，那么他們可能會使用諸如“寫作經(jīng)驗”和“活動策劃經(jīng)驗”的大標題，把相關(guān)經(jīng)歷寫進簡歷中那些部分里。關(guān)聯(lián)性強的大標題可以在第一時間吸引住雇主對關(guān)鍵技能的注意力。
?
10. During the Interview
10.面試過程中
Prior to interviewing, review the list of qualifications you created when working on your job application. Be prepared to discuss the specific skills and assets you have during job interviews. You can also reiterate what qualifies you to be selected in your job interview.
在面試前，請先回顧之前整理好的求職技能清單。在面試過程中，要準備好應(yīng)對你某一技能和優(yōu)點的提問。你也可以重新表明在面試中選中自己的優(yōu)勢。
