Tips For A Professionally Written CV & CV / Resume Writing Service Hong Kong HK · 150 days ago
Are you hunting for the perfect job? Hong Kong’s economy is booming and there are lots of good jobs on offer. However presenting yourself to the HK hiring managers in the most effective way is essential to your success,.
The first thing you should do is get your CV written! Pull out the file from 15 years ago and update it with your current experience…..
Seems simple doesn’t it? But do you know that one average a human resources guy will take only 30 seconds to read through a CV before deciding whether or not the candidate should be shortlisted? Companies get hundreds of applications for every popular post they advertise these days, so getting yourself noticed and past the first hurdle is very difficult.
Although business is booming, the number of good candidates is also increasing. The popularity of further education (professional and academic) means lots of people have MBA’s and industry specific MSc’s. Lots of people even have PhD’s! So qualifications are not going to make you stand out from the crowd either.
For higher end jobs (Senior manager, executive director, partner and so on) you can use networking. But every time a friend refers you to someone with a possible job opening, the lead will ask for your resume..
What is more important is that for these executive level jobs your CV is likely to be read by a foreigner – an American, Briton or Australian – and they will be very critical about the standard of English.
What you need is a professionally written CV that can accurately convey your experience and knowledge in each specific area with perfect English.

Top Tips for Effective Reading at University and Academic English Course in Hong Kong HK SAR · 152 days ago
Reading is one of the most challenging aspects of university and college life. It is also a very important skill to master in order for you to study effectively and to be able to complete all of the reading on time.
At undergraduate level there may be a pile of books a foot high to read though. However at postgraduate level the amount of reading you have to do increases sharply. Not only do you have to digest textbooks but you have also have to plough through endless research papers.
Neither of these texts are easy reading. They are information heavy and often need referral to a previous section or chapter for the meaning to be understood.
Top Tip for Effective Reading
Tip #1 – The SQ3R method
At school you learnt the 3R’s: Reading, wRiting and aRithmetic and one very good way to read effectively is to use another set of 3R’s – the SQ3R method:
*S Survey the text
Skim over the paragraph titles, topic sentences and get an overall idea of what the author is trying to convey. For research papers read through the abstract more carefully to understand what to expect later on.
*Q Change the headings into questions.
Ask “W” questions: what, why, who, when and how (okay that is an “h”!). For example change “Plant growth in the Arctic” to “Why do plants grow in the Arctic?”
*R Read
Read one section of the time whilst trying to answer the question you set yourself in the previous step. Use the Active Reading** strategies and make notes. **Active reading strategies will be detailed in the next article and make notes.
*R Recall
After you have finished try to remember as much as you can about the text. Try to summarize the meaning in your head.
*R Review
Go over your questions and see if you have answered them well. Is there anything that is still unclear? If not, perhaps write a new question.

Top Hong Kong and Overseas University, College and School Entrance Interview Tips in Hong Kong and Interview Skills Course in Hong Kong HK SAR · 152 days ago
Application deadlines for many Universities, Colleges and Schools around the world are coming up – including those in Hong Kong such as HKU, UST, CUHK, PolyU etc
For the lucky few applying for university entrance, an unconditional offer will have been given. These are few and far between though. Usually a minimum set of grades to be achieved together with passing a rigorous university entrance interview.
You may be sure of making the grade with your academic subjects but how about that all important interview? How are you going to outshine the other hopeful applicants? It’s a long time until next year!
Good oral English is essential as well as preparation before the interview. Firstly, find out the format of the interview. There are various types ranging from the traditional to more modern variants. If in doubt ask – preferably by telephone so they remember your name.
Traditional face to face interviews usually have two or three academic staff who run the course you applied for. These types of interviews are perhaps the most daunting at first glance, but in reality they are not that difficult with proper preparation and practice. Do not be tempted to learn your answers off by heart though as this will appear too false and get you lower scores. Try to be natural and be yourself. And of course try to relax!

Top Business English Writing Tips and Business English Course in Hong Kong HK SAR · 158 days ago
English is the most common medium for written communication in business in Hong Kong.
Although Cantonese is used for day to day work in Hong Kong offices, nearly all emails, memo’s, notices and letters are written in English.
The bad news is that your boss and colleagues are more likely to spot your bad English when it is written down. They have lots of time to read and re-read your emails and find every single grammar mistake! And remember: your emails and memos will be seen by lots of people.
What is worse is that the number of emails that employees have to handle is increasing every day. Even low level staff have to respond to emails in English these days.
Even more difficult is working in an foreign company. The level of English skills expected by foreign bosses or by headquarters staff based in London or New York, for example, is much higher than that expected by local Chinese companies.

IELTS - Top Tips For Success in the IELTS Speaking Test & IELTS Course Hong Kong HK SAR · 196 days ago
The IELTS Speaking Paper tests your oral English abilities in many areas, including listening as well as speaking. The proper use of vocabulary, grammar, organization and coherence is included and specific speaking activities that get harder as the test progresses.
*Keep talking. The examiner’s questions are an invitation to speak. Even if the question can be answered yes or no, you should give as full an answer as you can.
*There is no penalty for talking too much, but if you keep your answers short you may not provide enough language to be properly assessed.
*Listen carefully. The examiner is trying to elicit the widest possible range of language from you. The question he/she uses will tell you what function/grammar they would like to hear.
*Prepare. Parts 1&2 are about your personal knowledge, experience and opinions. Think about yourself: what you do; where you live; what you like and dislike; people you know; places you’ve been etc.
*Take risks. Accuracy is only one of the assessment criteria. Don’t make lengthy pauses to think of the exact item of grammar or vocabulary you need ; say what comes into your head, then rephrase it, if it sounds wrong. This ability will be taken notice of by the examiner.
*Ask for clarification of anything you don’t understand in Part 3 (n.b. you can’t do this in Parts 1&2).
*In Part 3 try to use more ‘academic’ expressions. Whilst giving your opinion talk about the topics in general not personal terms.
The best way to prepare for your IELTS exam is by taking an IELTS preparation course.
