The topic of today's lesson is

Finding the Right Company

- Let's make a company profile - from all the information you gathered

One, what's their history

Two, what's their corporate identity

Three, what's their mission statement

Four, what's their public perception?

Good or bad?

- Number five, - do their values aligned with your values

Number six,

- Do they have any organizations or alliances - that they work with?

And what are they?

- All of this research will - not only help you to find the right company

but it will help prepare your resume

- and your ability to - pitch yourself during the interview

- Let's take a look of - what it takes to make a good cover letter

- For that, we must take a journey - to the success labotory

OK

Let's try to create a rough draft

Imagine that you're a bank teller

- We're going to assume that - you're applying for a job at HSBC

- Remember, our cover letter has to - be related to the job that we'll applying for

Step number one, introduce yourself

Take a look at this example

That's a great introduction,

because it tells you more about their past

It also mentions you have experience

- with multiple positions - in the banking industry

And with multiple large banks like HSBC

It also tells them your motivations

- Which is critical part of - how we pick our workers

And this is often left out of our resumes

- This description is great, - because it uses a lot of academic verbs

like undertakes and meets and deliver

and possess and applies, reduce

Also, there are a lot of good adjective

like meticulous, tight, superior, practical

Remember

A resume is not an essay

- They know who the subject is - so we removed and save space

- We must say - the most important things that we can

and use the fewest words that we can

- Question number one, - Where do you see yourself in five years?

- Well, ten years ago - I was very seriously injured

and it was very hard on me

I got depressed

- But a really nice person - came along and help me

- And ever since then, - I wanted to help other people

So I study teaching for five years

- and I've worked really hard - to become a teacher

- There were many challenges - but I made it through

- I've been a teacher for five years - and I love helping people

- And I would love to continue doing so - with your company

How can you picture yourself in one minute?

What's the most important thing to say?

- Well, for this, - let's imagine that we're a doctor

We need to cover three things

Who are you?

What are your achievements?

How can you help the company?

And why pick you? What's the result?

First, who am I?

This part can be the trickiest,

- because you might have too many thing to say - or you might have not enough to say

- The best way to get this right - is to practice and write it down

- I'm a general practitioner - who's spend medicine for five years

and now I want to be a designer

I love hiking

- This only tells us what you do - not who you are

- This sentence should be - a lot more like your cover letter

- I'm a lifelong care giver - and I love helping people,

that's why I became a doctor

- I worked in rural China - as a free health care provider,

because I love living close to nature

- and the serving the person - who needed the most

Good

Second, how can you help your company?

- You need to speak directly - to their needs here, not your wants

I can add value to the company

- because of my great experience - and my strong work ethic

It's okay but it's not specific enough

- I will work long hours - and strive to do the right thing

to bring our visions to the nest level

You can count on me to go the extra mile

- This lesson is the final on our series on - Job Interview skills and Resumes writing skills

Today, we will do the final reviews

Today, we're going to cover the key points

- and remember - what we need to do for our job search

But first

- A look back at all of the topics - we've covered in the series

In lesson one, an introduction

Lesson two, finding the right company

Lesson three, cover letters and references

Lesson four, we made our resume

- In lesson five and six, - we prepared for the job interview itself

Answering questions and the elevator speech

Now, are you ready to go?

Yes!

Let's review anyway

- Now, I know from being a teacher - for a really long time

- that most, the biggest part of learning - is just not quitting

- So we must review - what we've learned frequently

- Actually, teachers often say - frequency equals fluency

Frequency equals fluency

What does that mean?

Practice, practice, practice
