How veterans write cover letters

Soldiers with flowing water in iron tents and veterans who shed youth and sweat in the barracks will bid farewell to the fiery barracks. The author talks about his own experience according to the experience of consulting his comrades in employment in recent years. At the same time, getting enough information is the premise of finding a satisfactory job. If time permits, we might as well go hand in hand and collect more information. The first is a large-scale talent recruitment meeting. This job fair has standardized management and concentrated information, so you can get a lot of information when you enter the market. Veterans don't miss it. The disadvantage is that it needs to pay a certain fee and the level is high. Second, the talent market regularly holds job fairs. Mainly for different industries for special recruitment, medium or low level, more suitable for veterans. The disadvantage is that there is less information and fewer choices. Third, the registration inquiry of employment agencies. In recent years, a large number of employment agencies have emerged, and there is a big gap in service quality, means and fees. The disadvantage is that the charge is too high, there is too much information and too much falsehood. Fourth, recruiting newspapers and periodicals. I suggest you pay attention to the weekly recruitment pages of local popular newspapers. Strong pertinence and less false information. In addition, comrades should also pay attention to online job hunting. Online job hunting has become a popular job hunting method, with more job information. The veterans' information navigation network and the veterans' talent network dedicated to veterans are free to register for job hunting. The disadvantage is that registration is more troublesome. Soldiers discharged from the army generally have low academic qualifications, and employers often put academic qualifications first. In this case, comrades must not be bound by their academic qualifications. Many enterprises require college education or above, but it is not aimed at veterans. Some enterprises may specifically indicate the priority or exception of veterans, but most enterprises do not indicate this. As long as you don't require a postgraduate degree or above, your comrades can boldly apply for it. I suggest that comrades-in-arms make full use of their strengths and avoid weaknesses to write resumes. For example, highlight what training you have attended. Xiao Li, a third-class non-commissioned officer of a certain army, has a high school education. After demobilization, he got a job in Beijing and got into trouble. Because he has no advantage among a group of job seekers with undergraduate and graduate degrees. When he was writing his resume, he did not fill in his highest degree, but filled in all kinds of mechanical repair training he had participated in in the army. He also focused on his experience in repairing equipment, and attached a copy of type certificate issued by the army to his resume. This is both practical and realistic, and can leave a good impression on the recruiter. He finally found a satisfactory job in a machinery manufacturing company. A targeted cover letter is an important supplement to the resume, which is mainly written for a specific enterprise and combined with its own advantages. The cover letter should highlight your major and specialty, write more content closely related to the employer, and also write clearly what level of awards you have won. If you can write one or two shortcomings properly, the other party will think you are honest and reliable. It's best to show your expectation of reply, including whether you can obey the transfer and how you will work once you are hired. Pay attention to the writing format of the cover letter. The address should be appropriate. When writing a letter to a unit leader, you can call him a respected responsible comrade, and when writing a letter to a specific staff member, you can call him a respected teacher, depending on the identity of the other party, and attach greetings such as "Hello". Finally, don't forget the etiquette. After writing the text, you should usually write a greeting such as "I wish your company prosperity" or "I wish you well". Taking the initiative to interview is not passive. In the case of full preparation, we should dare to take the initiative to show our advantages. First of all, be good at breaking the silence. Candidates may be reluctant to speak out because of various concerns, resulting in silence in the interview. Even if you can barely break the silence, the pronunciation and intonation are extremely blunt, which makes the scene even more embarrassing. In fact, before or during the interview, former comrades take the initiative to greet and talk, which will leave a good impression on the interviewer who is enthusiastic and good at talking with others. Secondly, we should actively answer questions. Interviewers often ask embarrassing questions to candidates. Many people are evasive and even lie, which is unnecessary. For example, the interviewer asked: Our company is not well treated. Why did you choose this company? You can say: I value learning opportunities and development opportunities more than money, and I prefer the cultural atmosphere of your company. Third, be careful not to get too close to the interviewer. Interviewers with certain professional qualities are taboo to befriend candidates. There are often several interviewers, and pleasing one may offend the others. Smart retired comrades can cite one or two well-founded things to praise the recruiting unit, thus showing your interest in this company. "Cleaning the Battlefield" has surprises. Many retired comrades only pay attention to interview skills and ignore the "battlefield cleaning" after the interview. Pay attention to fill the vacancy, there may be other surprises waiting for you. After the job interview, everyone wants to know the result early. My advice to comrades is not to inquire about the results too early. Under normal circumstances, after each interview, the recruitment supervisor will discuss and vote, and then send it to the personnel department for summary, and finally determine the candidates for employment. This stage may take three to five days or more. Old comrades must wait patiently for news during this period, and don't inquire about the interview results too early, otherwise it will give people the impression of impatience. What can I do after the interview? I think I can write to the recruiter to express my gratitude. At the beginning of the thank-you letter, you should mention your name and brief information, as well as the interview time, and thank the recruiter. The middle part of the thank-you letter should reiterate your interest in the company and position, and add some new contents that are useful for the success of job hunting. The end of the thank-you letter can show your confidence in yourself and your determination to contribute to the development and growth of the company. Not all comrades who are about to leave the army can apply successfully. If you fail to find a job, please don't be discouraged. The key is to find out the reason for the failure: the salary requirement is too high? Insufficient technical level? Didn't pay attention to the interview details? Or are you not prepared enough? Sum up the experience and lessons, sprint again, I believe you will find your place.
