<p>Liteon Semiconductor Corp Human Resources Manager Chen Shu-mao (陳樹茂) told his tricks of being a job hunter when he was addressing to a group of students during a seminar at the Union Building on the main campus tonight.</p>
<p>KNOW THEMSELVES</p>
<p>Chen encouraged job hunters to “do their homework” prior to their submitting their resumes.</p>
<p>"That means you need to know more about the business or industry that you are applying for and what kind of potential candidates they are looking for,” Chen said.</p>
<p>For those who are still students at the moment, Chen encouraged them to start to outline their resumes at the moment because a well-organized resume will elevate the candidate’s chances of being hired.</p>
<p>"What you can do, what special life experiences, what special certificates you have and what academic achievements you have done would all become a plus for your resume,” he said.</p>
<p>ATTITUDE</p>
<p>The senior human resources manager said that job hunters must know that most employers will demand more from a rookie. Through the process, the employers would have chances to tell a rookie’s talents and potentials and that would also lead the way to more future opportunities for the rookie if his efforts are seen.</p>
<p>Chen said that a rookie’s dedication, devotion, positive attitude and duration for reasonable or unreasonable demands will determine whether this person will survive the job.</p>
<p>Today’s bosses, he said, would only care about what a rookie would contribute himself to the company so it would also be important for job hunters to realize the fact.</p>
<p>"Nobody would care about which school you graduate. It is your attitude and your achievements at work that count,” Chen said.</p>
<p>JOB INTERVIEWS</p>
<p>Talking about job interviews, Chen said that there is no specific trick for this.</p>
<p>"Different interviewers would have different questions or angles. It would require more luck for a candidate to meet the right people at the right place at the right time,” he said. “Instant reaction from the candidate would be the key for the interviewer to make his decision.”</p>
<p>For this part, the only suggestion from Chen was to be confident, energetic, polite and direct when talking to the interviewers.</p>
<p>"Making eye contacts will be important, too. That will make people feel that you are speaking with all your hearts and respect,” Chen said.</p>
<p>NEGOTIATION ON PAYCHECKS</p>
<p>Chen urged job hunters not to talk about their potential paychecks before the time comes. For a rookie who just finished schools, he suggested that she or he should simply fall for the proposals by the interviewers.</p>
