could-be

Likewise, if you want to find a job, take a sheet of paper, and write a brief account of yourself. In making a blueprint for a job, begin with yourself, for when you know exactly what you have to offer, you can intelligently plan where to sell your services. This account of yourself is actually a sketch of your working life and should include education, experience and references. Such an account is valuable. It can be referred to in filling out standard application blanks and is extremely helpful in personal interviews. While talking to you, your could-be employer is deciding whether your education, your experience, and other qualifications will pay him to employ you and your 'wares' and abilities must be displayed in an orderly and reasonably connected manner.
同樣，如果你想找一份工作，那就拿一張紙，寫一份對自我的簡單描述吧。為找工作制訂計劃藍圖時，要從你自己開始，因為只有當確切知道你可以提供什么服務時，你才能明智地籌劃到哪兒去推銷它們。 對自我的描述實際上是對你的職業(yè)生涯的簡介，它應包括教育背景、經(jīng)驗和證明材料。這樣的描述是很有價值的，在填寫標準的申請表格時可作為參照，在面試時更是尤為有用。在與你面談時，你未來的雇主將根據(jù)你的教育背景、經(jīng)驗和其他的資歷來確定雇用你是否值得，因此你必須把你“待售的物品”和能力以有序而合理連貫的方式呈現(xiàn)出來。
