This chapter focuses on several important skills you will need to get a job :
1. Researching a targeted company
2. Preparing a resume and letter of application
3. Writing a thank-you letter to follow an interview
Starting The Job Search :
1. Researching Possible Employers
How you begin your job search depends to some extent on where you are when you
begin.
• If you’re still a student in large uni, for example, you will probably work with the
school’s job placement office, faculty, and the recuiters who visit campus
• If you’re a student in a small school, opportunities for on-campus interview may
be more limited and you may find it helpful to work with accounting faculty to
identify potential employers
• If you’ve already graduated, then you may be on your own in locating potential
jobs and establishing initial contacts with employers, although the placement office
of the school from which you graduated may still work with you
Regardless of how you begin your job search, you will need to write certain documents
to secure the job, including a letter of applicants, a resume, and a thank-you letter after an
interview
You also want to show the people who read these documents that you’re familiar with
the company and that you did the preparation necessary to make a good impression.
If there is a specific job opening, you will probably have general information about in
a job announcement. Read the announcement carefully in order to learn as much as possible
about the requirements of the position and the credentials for which the employer is
looking.
Find as much information as possible about the organization as a whole and the
particular job which you’re applying.
• If you’ve difficulty to find the information :
- You can ask your school’s job placement office
- You can also visit the library to look for articels and news items in the financial
press
- You can talk with business faculty about the organization
• If you attend a job fairs and meet recruiters from the organization :
- You must listen carefully to what recruters say about the organization
- Ask any question that seem appropriate
- Show in your polite, attentive listening that you’re interested in what the recriters
have to say
- Remember the names of the people you meet!
2. Preparing a Resume
Preparing a resume may be one of the most important steps you take in finding a good
job.
The purpose of the resume is to demonstrate :
How you meet the job and the organisation's requirements
That you are employable
That you have the right qualifications and education
That you have the right experience and skills
That you have the right level of professionalism for the job
4. Work Experince
Again in reverse chronological order, provide information about the jobs you’ve
held, both full- and part-time. List volunteer work if its relevant to the job for which
you’re applying. For each job you list, provide the following information :
Dates of employment
Name and location of the organization
Your position
A describe of your responsibilities, with emphasis on the ones that show
you’re qualified for the job you’re now seeking
List the organization you belonged to, the honors you received, and any other
activities that show you to be a well-rounded, active person. List these activites
from most important to least important from the point of view of employer.
6. Interest
The advantage of including information about your hobbies and interest is that it
also can show that you are well rounded person with interest that might help you
relate to other people, such as coworkers and client.
7. Reference
Your resume should list people who can positively recommend you as an employee.
Ideally your references will be people that you have worked with before. Provide
their name, their position title, and a way that they can be contacted.
3. Writing a Letter of Application
Often you will mail your resume to a potential employer with a formal letter of application
or to follow up some earlier communication. Like the resume, the letter must be
professional and well-researched.
If you’ve already discussed the job or possible employment with an employee of the
company, you should refer to this person by name and say exactly why you’re sending the
resume. You might write a sentence such as this one :
Sara Evans suggested that I write you about a possible opening in your auditing
department. I had the pleasure of meeting Ms. Evans at a meeting of our Accounting
Club here at the University of Central California.
For a formal letter of application, you might begin with a setences such as this :
I would like to apply for the position of staff accountant that you advertised in the
June 25, 1996, issue of the Denver Press Register. My resume ia enclosed.
After the introduction to your letter, you will need to show the reader two things :
That you’re familiar with the organization and,
That you’ve the credentials they are looking for.
1. What should we wrote on the part of work experience if we don’t have work experience?
2. What should be prepared before writing a resume?
3. What if a company that we’re applying for it isn’t in accordance with the prevision of us?
4. Why we have to apply for the company?
5. How to make a good resume?
6. Does attaching a certificate in applying for a job is a good point?
