10 Resume & Cover Letter Tips

样的简历

求职信样本

1. 确保你在求职信中包含以下信息:

  • Who you are and 你为什么要给他们写信 (be sure to mention you’re participating in the 波士顿大学 LA Internship Program in the first paragraph and that you’re looking for a SPRING, SUMMER, or FALL semester internship).
  • The 特定的位置 you’re applying for. “任何在狮门影业上映的电影都会震撼我的世界”这句话都行不通。 选择一个地方,并说明为什么你会做得最好。
  • Why you are writing to 他们 and 你特别喜欢什么? about their company.
  • 你独特的经验和技能将如何使他们的生活更轻松。 具体一点,从几个角度考虑这个方法。 更多的是关于 他们 比你。
  • When you will be available for an 面试. For example: “I will arrive in 洛杉矶 on [此处插入BULA入住日期] and can be available for an in-person meeting that week. 在那之前,你可以通过电话、Zoom或电子邮件联系我。”
  • Include your 电话号码 and 电子邮件地址 in your cover letter.

2. 保持简短! At this stage in your career, your resume should not be more than 一个页面. 未来的雇主通常每学期要审查多达2000份申请,他们会简单地扔掉一份太长的简历。 Limit your cover letter to 三段.

3. Make sure your resume and cover letter 看起来很漂亮. Don’t get too snazzy, but pay attention to font size (no smaller than 10 Point), make it 易于阅读, and keep spaces, dashes, commas, and periods consistent.

5. Unless directed otherwise, put your 在邮件正文中加入求职信. The only attachment should be your resume, and it should be in PDF表单 to preserve formatting. 给朋友发一份测试简历,确保收到的简历符合你的预期!

6. 删除您的实际地址 从你的简历和求职信中。 为什么?

  • 安全: 你永远不知道谁能拿到那份文件。
  • 地点: 如果你不断强调你还没有到洛杉矶,你的简历可能会被搁置。
  • 交通: 即使你得到了洛杉矶的地址,你也不想因为潜在雇主认为你不愿意通勤而错过一个机会。

7. Include your LinkedIn URL in the signature of your cover letter email. 确保你在LinkedIn上的个人资料与你发出的简历相符。 If you have a website that looks AMAZING, you can include that URL in the signature of your cover letter email 而不是 of your LinkedIn. Be careful NOT to be viewed as “self-promoting” by including more than one link.

8. Unless you directed a film that got 100,000 hits on YouTube or you wrote a script that won awards,  列出你的学生作业. If you have a project that relates to the work of the company you’re applying to, you can discuss it in your 面试 if there’s an organic opportunity to mention it.

9. 像人一样写作. 好莱坞是充满个性的,所以要专业,但也要友好和独特。 You don’t want to present yourself as overly formal. 你很可能会根据你的技能和你在周围的风度得到实习机会。
