Background: 个人的兴趣爱好其实主要体现在业余活动上,对于刚入社会的学生来说,业余活动主要就是课外活动。 课外活动包括社会活动和业余爱好。 丰富多彩的课外活动表示你希望丰富自己的社会经验,发挥多方面的才能。通过你所参加的课外活动,可以看出你的交际能力、价格修养、成熟程度和健康状况。比如说你当学生会主席的经历能够表明你人缘好、善处人际关系、有领导才能等。 因此,如果你曾参加什么课外活动,就如实写出来。这些活动可以帮助雇主了解你,成为有利的条件。课外活动对于刚刚走出校门的朋友来说,是找工作时的一个相当重要的条件。 面试时我们最想向面试官展现的就是我们的能力了,那么一个人的能力到底是什么呢?通常我们理解为工作能力,技术能力等等,其实不仅仅是这些。我们先来看看关于个人能力的背景知识:Background: 个人能力集中表现在社会荣誉、工作业绩、科研成果、著作等,这里最主要的是著作和工作成果。 著作包括所有出版过的书,发表过的论文。这一项对科研、学术工作者尤为重要。如果内容与所申请的职位密切相关,作者不仅应列入其中,而且可扼要介绍作品内容、社会影响和效果。面试时,应带上作品的原件或复印件。 了解到到底什么是个人能力以后,我们再来看一段对话:A:Would you talk about your merits?B:Yes, sir.
