履历表及求职信的撰写
在传统的求职管道中，准备履历表(Resume)和求职信(Cover letter)是必然的一
道程序。而人事主管部门面对成千的履历表及求职信，其平均浏览的时间不过一至三分
钟。因此，如何在众多的应徵者中脱颖而出，受到青睐，个人之学历及能力固然重要，
但一份经过设计，适当包装的履历表，虽然不保证找到一份工作，却很可能因此让人耳
目一新而获得面试的机会。即使在新时代，注重人际关系网路，毛遂自荐，主动拜访的
求职方式下，一份简洁有力的履历表，依然是个人随身不可或缺的重要资料之一。
履历表及求职信的撰写并没有严格的格式要求，但基本上一些重要讯息仍应适当处理
，有关履历表及求职信之各种格式或撰写方式可进一步叁考有关书籍。
一、履历表
履历表的主要目的乃在获得面试的机会，并且在面试时作为对谈的叁考依据，因此应
针对工作要求及求职目标逐一设计，以平实简洁方式表达个人之学经历与应徵工作间之
配合关系。
１、撰写履历表前之准备：
兀(1)专人代写或自行撰写：时下虽然履历表专业服务公司甚为流行，但因服务人员素
质良莠不齐，对顾客之认识亦属有限，其为达推销目的，往往在行文用语上展现夸张花
俏，而内容很可能空洞不切实际。因此专家们大多鼓励求职者自行设计并撰写履历表。
一来可以针对各种不同工作性质或工作要求，重新筛滤个人学经历、专长，逐一设计符
合各个工作应徵之需求；二来可以节省一笔开销。一份好的履历表不是急就章可以完成
的，而是需要一而再、再而三地修改过滤，因此，在准备履历表时，时间是绝对不可节
省的。
屮(2)纸张及缮打设备：履历表所有之纸张以纯白或淡白色品质隹者为主，纸张大小以
8.5x11之规格为原则。避免使用彩色纸张，一来过於花俏，二来不易阅读。缮打时以
洁净为原则，近来电脑文书排版便捷，而且日後修改容易，对於履历文书之处理是很理
想的工具，唯列印时应以雷射印表机列印，点阵式印表机有碍美观，应避免使用。
彳(3)语气及用语：用语上力求平实、简洁、不吹嘘夸大，但字 行间仍应透露出自信
及个人之才能。
２、履历表之主要内容：
兀(1)姓名、地址、电话：如通讯处无公司住家或日夜之别者，则应将姓名、地址、电
话置於纸张起首处之中央（例一），若通讯处有地点、时间之别者，则姓名列於起首中
央，而将通讯地址、电话分置於左上及右上方之处（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
屮(3)工作目标 (Objective)：这项内容视情况需要而定。如果能明确界定出求职目
标，则可以让雇主轻易地掌握到求职者是否为其所需。最好能针对自己的兴趣，准备不
只一个目标，每一份履历表只放一个目标，在界定时避免太狭隘，以免丧失机会。人力
资源专家认为除非对应徵职位、职务性质、工作地点、工作性质、行业有相当确定之认
识时，才须加入目标此项，否则若求职范围广泛，而且兴趣不固定者，最好省略目标一
项，以免受撰述限制而失去其他面试的机会。
彳(4)教育程度(Education)：以倒叙方式详列每项学位、获得日期、就读学校、就
读系所、学业成绩优良者甚至可以列出GPA成绩，或班上排名，或百分比。一般人事主
管认为只有学业成绩表现不隹者才会藏拙不列出成绩及名次。而若主修成绩优於总平均
，而主修与应徵职位密切相关者则不妨以如下方式列出：
Overall: GPA: 3.5 (on 4.0 basis)
Major: Economics. GPA: 3.85
具博士学位者则另须列出博士论文标题，指导教授姓名以及以二、三行摘述论文菁华
。荣誉及奖项 (Honors & Awards)可列於「教育」大项中，也可另行独立分项以显
示个人杰出表现之处，列叙时亦依日期倒叙列出。
(5)工作经验(Work experience)：内容应包括受雇单位、地点、职称、就职时间
（年月即可）、担任职务、工作表现。在说明工作表现时尽量以量化方式表达，例如：
提高总产值10%，而且应以诚实为原则，若为团队完成者，不应将功劳揽在一己身上，
吹嘘很容易被视破。描述时不须以完整句子表达，而是以Action Verbs为首（附一）
说明工作成就、具体事实等。若仍在学无就业经验者，则应强调研究成果或课外活动表
现，打工经验等。
(6)其他可独立分项者：特殊技能如电脑语言专长，熟悉软体及硬体设备等。或如语
言能力（各种外语之熟稔程度，包括听说读写），叁加之专业团体或协会、社团组织，
担任职务等足以展现个人社交活跃之能力，再如执照专利及特别证书等亦可列出其获颁
日期，获颁单位。至於重要论着(Publication)若为数不多，则可列入履历表内，但
为避免履历表篇幅过长，通常论着多者以采附算方式独立附於履历表之後。服军职者，
不管义务与否，或可独立列出并载明日期或并於工作经验之中。
与(7)推荐人(Reference)，一般只有学术研究性质之工作需详细列出推荐人之姓名、
职称、联络电话、地址等资讯。否则当应徵单位没有要求时，不须主动附上，以免有不
良影响。处理时只须於履历表之末写上：References available upon request
，但心底应有几个推荐人可备询，以防有求才单位谘询，而推荐人之人选必须是对自己
有基本认识，印象隹，且愿给予支持者。声誉卓着之人选虽然具影响力，但其不见得有
正面支持时反可能造成反效果，因此未必是适合之人选。
３、履历表的格式：
一份好的履历表未必放诸天下而皆准，能表现个人特色，争取面试机会者即是好的履
历表。有些人学历表现优於工作经历，有些人则相反，此二类人之履历表之格式设计上
比重就不尽相同。在个人学经历中愈是重要，愈显现个人优越者愈应摆在前头。学历隹
者可优先说明教育程度，但毕业就业已久者，似 以强调工作经验为隹。
履历表的格式也因个人使用时机不同而主要可分为二类。一是年序式(Chronological
)，一是才具式(Functional)。前者将履历表主要内容分项，依时间发生先後倒叙而
下；而後者则忽视时间之重要性，将工作经验一项重新打散，依技能项目排列组合归类
於各不同之技能小项下。或可保留工作经验之标题，或另以资历(Qualifications)取
代，时间顺序不再是才具式履历表排序的标准。例如范例二（附三）Qualifications
下列有Communication Skills, Leadership Skills, Community Skills
。这些技能分项除了可依个人技能类别分项外，亦可针对工作要求之技能，特别是
Leadership Skill, Writing Skill, Communication Skill等常见之工作
要求，加以分类。通常资历或技能下归纳出四至六种才能，每一才能下另列三至四种工
作成就。以下仅就此二种履历表使用时机及优缺点分析如下：
甲、年序式：
(1)使用时机：
ａ、个人事业（或学业）相当连续，并未有连续失业达一年以上之事实，而且也没
有未充分就业(即兼差半职)的情形，同时在工作表现上持续进展，此点可从工作升迁及
担任职务之重要性窥出一般，就业尚称稳定，未见经常跳槽转业之例。
ｂ、目前工作经验或整体就业经历，与求职目标息息相关。因为倒叙式说明工作经
验，可让雇主明白应徵者当前工作性质是否对应徵工作之胜任，而且是否有转业倾向。
同时整体之工作经历可以说明专长及经验之累积符合工作目标之要求，因此非常适合从
事性质相近之职务时使用。
乜(2)优缺点：
ａ、优点：对人事部门而言，年序式履历表依时间循序渐进，易读而且可轻易判断
应徵者过往服务单位之声誉，进而推断应徵者之工作表现优劣与否。而对求职者而言，
因时间排序逻辑清楚，因此撰写安排上较才具式容易。
ｂ、缺点：太强调个人进展及事业连续或稳定性，容易使个人专长受到忽略，因此
在转业时无法突显出个人才能与应徵职位间之相关。此外太过重视当前经验及成就，若
应徵职位与早期经历相关，则无法在年序式履历表中优先表达出来。再者就业中断或未
充分就业，都可在时间序列中一眼看出端详，对於个人能力之评估有不良之影响。透过
时间与学经历间之关连亦可推测出求职之年龄，有时也会影响面试机会。
乙、才具式：
根据统计，只有20%--25%的雇主会接受这种履历表。因为这类履历表很容易让人联
想到失业、就业中断或转业等因素避而不用年序式履历表。因此除非有特殊因素，否则
最好采用年序式。
(1)使用时机：
当个人有失业或就业中断、未充分就业、经常转换工作、转业需要，以及个人事业无
明显进展，且无优秀之学经历或当前工作经验与工作目标不相吻合者，不妨考虑以才具
式之履历表强调个人整体之专长及资历。
乜(2)优缺点：
ａ、优点：在格式设计上，因不受时间顺序之限制（时间甚至可以不提），故而无
法推断个人之就业史，而且也无从知道失业或转业之负面事实，而且也不易从中推测出
年龄。同时重点强调的是个人资历、专长与工作目标间之关系，因此面对不同工作要求
，只须将专长资历项下及才能依重要性重新排列，故可适用於一个以上的工作申请，个
人专长可以获得较多的关注。
ｂ、缺点：容易让人怀疑使用此类履历表之动机，而且不易阅读，增添人事部门主
观判断以及揣测的空间。
４、注意事项：
兀(1)长度：履历表的长度以不超过二页为原则，若能在一页之内表达清楚更隹，而在
这一至二页中应充分说明「Who are you?」、「What do you want to do?」
以及「What have you done?」。
屮(2)版面设计：利用打字技巧如分标题 (heading)、大写、描黑、字底画线 (
underline)、黑点 (dot)、星号(＊)、缩格(indent)等方式，使各项内容一目了
然，而且字体大小应适当选择，同时纸张二边留白应力求平衡，不可左倾或右偏。
彳(3)内容校对：文法、拼字、标点符号务求百分之百精确，最好请学校专业人员 (
Career Advisor) 或外籍朋友有任职经验者看过，并且徵询有无修改补充之处。
(4)组织结构：撰写时把握 Clarity（用语简洁并且与职位相关）、 Conciseness
（尽量在一至二页中表达）、Forcefully（所传递之讯息，强而有力介绍个人能力）。
不可太过繁琐，以显草率。但也不可太过贫乏而有遗珠之憾，最终目的必须引起求才单
位之阅读兴趣。
(5)用词遣句：在纸张起首处，不须加上Resume字眼，多此一举。说明工作表现以
电报(telex)式语气具体表达。句子不须强加主词，尤其忌讳出现主词 "I"，容易流
於幼稚肤浅。省略 "I"已是履历表撰写上约定俗成的用法。
与(6)除非求才单位要求加附照片，否则照片绝不可黏贴於履历表中。
二、求职信(Cover Letter)
在求职过程中，除了利用履历表来简介并推销自己外，依例仍须附上一封求职信，告
诉求才单位，你对该工作之胜任及申请意愿。履历表是求职程序中之主体，但求职信却
可补其不足，达到画龙点睛，锦上添花之妙用。因此可将一些无法在履历表中充分发挥
之个人专长或才能，透过求职信详细说明，藉由履历表及求职信之相辅相成，争取到面
试的机会。
１、求职信的格式(Format)：
兀(1)如商业文书，信首右上方是发信地址及发信日期。接下来，左上方则是收信人姓
名、职称、收信地址（包括公司名称），有关收信人之姓名及职称应调查清楚。如不确
定，可去电该公司总机查询，并查询该人事甄选负责人之姓名，以便冠称 Mr.or Ms.
(Mrs.)。
屮(2)敬称语：Dear Mr., Mrs.or Ms.姓，只称呼其姓，而不须全名列出（但需注
意的是，前文提到收信人，则应列出全名，即 Mr. (firstname)+(last name)，
此敬称语千万不可因不确定收信人为何而以 "To whom it may concern" 取代，
此举让人觉得草率而且缺乏诚意。
彳(3)正文：通常分为三至四段，并且以一页为原则，除非必要，方使用二页。
ａ、第一段：说明写此信之原因，从那 得知此工作，例如就业辅导处 (Career
Center, Placement Office) 、报纸、朋友、师长；欲应徵何种职位，并简介自
己资历与职位要求相吻合，进而说明工作目标。但注意此处所提之工作目标应与履历表
中所列之工作目标一致。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：说明你为何对该工作感兴趣，为何你认为你的资历符合工作要求，并
进一步阐述自己之专业才能、工作经验、所修课程，避免复述履历表的用语。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：指出随函附寄履历表供叁考，同时说明履历表中乃记载个人之相关资
历及背景。这段可长可短，或者与前段对照（前段可写学业表现），另再举证工作表现
，说明自己的才能乃应徵职位之所需。例：
Enclosed is my resume to detail my backgrounds and qualifications.
或将附寄一事独立於结论之首，此段仅进一步说明资历。总之，务必让收信人明白履历
表己随函附寄。
(4)结论：希 收信人收悉後会采取一些有利之行动，如提供面试或电话访谈。或者
更积极主动说明电询或拜访之意。
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.
若有地利之便或时间许可，可能於几月几日几点电询申请结果或当面会谈。最後可加
上客套话如：Thank you for your consideration或 I am looking
forward to our meeting.
三、注意事项
１、每封信应原版打字列印，不可以影印本代替。
２、所有寄出去的信都应保留影本，以备查阅并回函。
３、纸张以白色及淡白色为主，三摺放入9-10寸大之信封内。
４、信末一定要记得签名，工作性质不同之信最好分别撰写，不要以通稿代之。但若性
质雷同之工作，以同内容之信分寄不同公司时，应仔细核对信首、信中及信封提到公司
名称时皆完全一致，免得张冠李戴，错误百出。
５、用语简洁，避免陈腔滥调及空泛含糊的字句，语气力求平实不花俏，同时每段起首
避免以主词 "I"开头，字 行间充满自信，但不夸大。
６、寄信时，避免在收信人於星期一或星期五收到，若有截止日期或是应徵报纸广告上
之工作者，则愈早寄愈好，免得人选补齐後，不再录用。
７、求职资料寄出後，尽管文情并茂，颇具说服力，但也不能保证一定有面谈机会。不
过当寄出後二周内仍未收到回音，则不妨去电询问应徵结果，以示对此事之重视及态度
之积极。◆
