希望在職人士/求職經驗者回答...Abt Cover Letter &CV [20分]

The major reason for having a covering letter in your case is to show your employer your English level. I do not recommend you to copy one of the template as most of the green students do. In order to show the difference from others, a good covering letter writing by yourself is important. However, if I were the employer, flawless written english is very important. A good covering letter can give you a chance to attend the interview. It does not mean it will be helpful to your interview. Your presentation skill during the interview can determine whether the employer hire you or not.

The CV is not so important for a green student. You will have the same degree which is the same as the others in the course. The degree is only an entry ticket in whatever the industry you will be. Employers will not expect you to have experience as you are a green student. After a few years, the CV should not be limited to 2 pages, however, as you are a green student, you suppose to have nothing to write more than 2 pages.

I do believe the most important thing for you to keep in mind is that you should see what you can learn from the job rather than how much salary you can get in long term. You have to spend more time thinking about working for big hotels or small hotels. The approach you selected can determine you future career. Big hotel has proper management system but they separated into many small departments which cannot allow you to learn everything in the hotel. Small hotels can give you chance to learn more but tough. Think big! You need to spend time on thinking about spending the number of years in small hotel and then you must join the big hotels 2 or 3 years later. Try to change job in every two years when you first start in any of the companies. Do not stay too long in a same company as the explorsue in different companies are also important. Knowledge is the most important thing rather than having the certificates. Try hard to learn in the job when you start working in an industry! Keep up and you will be successful after 5 years if you follow this way.
