选择要应聘的工作后，必须看清 招聘 广告上所列出的每项要求，再将自己的学历、能力与兴趣逐一与之比较，作一张balance sheet.

例如，一则关于marketing management trainee和job requirement是这样写的：

We are looking for a competent person to fill the captioned position：

-University graduate major in Marketing Management. Prepared to develop career in the commercial field

-Outgoing personality

-Able to communicate at different levels

-Good knowledge of PC operations

-Proficiency in written and spoken English/Mandarin

那么你相应地考虑自己的qualification的选择和表述，就可以这样写(与上列各项对应)：

-University graduate with major in Marketing

-Having actively participated in Business club's activities and learned accounting and management

-Good in communication with people and like a lot of out door activities, know how to tackle with people from all walks of life

-Skillful in operating Words, Excel, Lotus1-2-3, etc

-Fluent in English and Mandarin

这个方法的好处是可让 求职 者清楚了解该职位是否适合自己，而本身资料又是否切合要求，而且，明白了各项要求后，就可依据每一点在履历表上重点提出自己在该方面的强项。突出卖点(selling point)，将之放在最吸引人的地方，使 招聘 者一眼可见，有利于present自己。
