“Hello，Ms．Smith．I‘m Samantha Ward and I‘ve been interested in Omega Tron ever since I read that Business Week article about your new multimedia software program．I‘m a computer science major with an art minor，and I‘m really excited about combining these two interests．I‘ve actually developed an interactive educational program to teach children how to draw．Would you like to see a copy of the website I designed？
２．Look professional．Always remove tongue or eyebrow piercings3）（no more than one earring in each ear），and hide tattoos．Once you know the culture of the company，then you can start to add（or not）these items to your morning toilette．It’ s always better to err on the side of caution and be more conservative4） than less．
３．Bring at least ５０resumes．Cover letters are not necessary at the fair，but don’t risk running out of5） resumes．
４．Bring a bag，a notebook and a pen．The bag is to carry literature and giveaways6）．The notebook should be professional with space for safekeeping of those resumes（no crumbled copies，please．）and a pad7） for notes．Bring two pens――just in case．

在人才招聘會(huì)上獲得成功的１０項(xiàng)技巧
１．做商業(yè)廣告。你有３０秒種的時(shí)間讓某位雇主對(duì)你感興趣。如果你不能，他們會(huì)另尋他人。準(zhǔn)備一個(gè)３０秒鐘的廣告介紹你自己和你的事業(yè)目標(biāo)。簡(jiǎn)潔明了，但要有具體的例子抓住對(duì)方的注意力。以下例子是一位美國(guó)學(xué)生如何在人才招聘會(huì)上“推銷”自己。
“您好，
２．看上去具有職業(yè)形象。把舌環(huán)或眉環(huán)拿掉（每只耳朵上只戴一個(gè)耳環(huán)），遮蓋住紋身。一旦你清楚了某公司的文化后，你才可以在早晨化妝時(shí)增加（或不增加）這些裝飾。因謹(jǐn)慎出岔兒總比因大膽出岔兒好，保守總比過于開放穩(wěn)妥。
３．帶上至少５０份個(gè)人簡(jiǎn)歷。首頁介紹在招聘會(huì)上并非必備，但也不能冒缺少簡(jiǎn)歷的危險(xiǎn)。
４．?dāng)y帶一個(gè)書包，一個(gè)筆記本和一支筆。書包用來裝文獻(xiàn)和贈(zèng)品。筆記本應(yīng)該是辦公用的，有足夠的地方妥善保存你的個(gè)人簡(jiǎn)歷（請(qǐng)不要遞上皺巴巴的簡(jiǎn)歷。），還有一個(gè)便箋簿。帶兩支筆以備萬一。
５．休息好。頭天晚上睡好覺讓你自己得到充分休息，以便精力充沛地赴人才招聘會(huì)。去之前還要吃好飯，以免與雇主交談時(shí)你的肚子餓得咕咕叫。
６．做好應(yīng)聘準(zhǔn)備。上網(wǎng)搜尋參加招聘會(huì)的那些公司的資料，以便熟悉它們，知道它們?cè)趯ふ以鯓拥墓蛦T。
７．提前到達(dá)。人才招聘會(huì)往往會(huì)吸引數(shù)以百計(jì)，乃至千計(jì)、萬計(jì)的人前往。爭(zhēng)取早到，搶得一份目錄單，計(jì)劃你的主攻目標(biāo)。
８．“反其道而行之。”許多人陷入前門擁擠慌亂的人群中難以脫身。你不妨徑直走向后門，那里有代表們?cè)诘群騺碓L者的出現(xiàn)。
９．拿宣傳品和商務(wù)名片。只拿那些你感興趣的公司的宣傳品，因?yàn)槟銜?huì)閱讀它們，否則背著一書包各公司的宣傳品走來走去會(huì)讓你胳臂酸痛。不要忘記拿商務(wù)名片，因?yàn)槿蘸竽憧梢愿衅溉耸柯?lián)系，在名片背面記下一些你們交談的內(nèi)容。
１０．表達(dá)你的興趣。握手要有力，直視對(duì)方帶以微笑。這是表現(xiàn)信心極好的第一印象。要問問題。沒有什么比一方侃侃而談，一方沉默無語的交談更沒意思了。會(huì)后寄份感謝卡。若想真給人家留下印象，招聘會(huì)后馬上將感謝卡寄給那些激起你興趣的公司。主動(dòng)做后續(xù)工作，不要等著公司給你打電話---先給他們打，商定情況介紹或參觀公司等事宜。
