探秘英国的政治界，一份完美的CV怎么能少呢？国际上，当你申请工作时，特别是科研教育学术研究方面的位子，你需要提供CV。在这篇文章里笔者会教你两步最关键实用的方法，帮助你从好学生向专业政府雇员完美转型。
我们之前已经讨论过，现代政界的工作环境是异常竞争惨烈的。即使你有顶级高校毕业的教育背景，也没法保证你能在国家或地方级议会找到工作。
所以怎样才能让自己脱颖而出？在周围充斥着和你一样有才能的年轻人、一样摩拳擦掌要实现自己政治抱负的竞争环境里，怎样认清自己的潜能？答案是，先从议会实习生做起，为自己的CV（简历）加分。
实习，让你有机会在政界办公室工作，通常职位不高，而且我要很遗憾地说，没有薪水。我已经听见你内心的嘀咕了：我凭什么要免费为政府打工？不过事情的真相是，也许你不应该这样，但不幸的是，实习是最容易的促进日后进入政界工作的路径。
除了免费劳动力之外，还有一个关键问题……争取实习的竞争也相当激烈！所以你能做些什么？就像上篇文章里讨论的一样，你最好通过大学里的课外实践，构建自己的专长技能，这样能增加对雇主的吸引力。高校里最合适实践的政治环境显然是学生报纸、辩论队、政治论坛或慈善活动。这些会锻炼你日后吸引政界雇主的必须的技能，很有可能你第一份关键的实习机会也因此得到。
当你得到实习机会后，你不仅能收获异常宝贵的工作经验，并且你已经开始为谋取日后全职职位，积攒必要的人脉资源。记住，实习是你让自己脱颖而出的绝好机会，它将证明你是日后所申请职位的最佳人选。实习是快速通道，也是你成功的关键的第一步。
好的，现在你有了顶尖大学的学术背景，有了很多课外实践的经验，也已经完成了第一步实习。接下来该怎样？到了制作完美CV的时刻了！
首先你必须已经有了一个基本的CV在手上。现在基于你已经完成了你的政界实习，你想让你的CV做到尽可能专业。当我在英国众议院工作时，招聘雇员由我负责，那时我们一般会收到超过200份申请。至少有一半以上都会失败在他们不够专业的CV上。也有很多好的申请者拥有不错的工作背景，不过却没有得到面试机会，因为他们并没有在CV上制造足够的吸引力。
你也许会觉得这不公平。但是在政治环境中，对细节的注意力是最基本的，最微小的错误都可能导致巨大的政治丑闻，因此你未来的雇主需要看到你在这方面拥有足够的能力。这里我强烈建议你要使自己的CV达到专业水平。也许会花一些钱，但一份专业CV能助你一生，并且绝对会让你从其他竞争者中脱颖而出。
记住，你的CV就好像第一次和人握手一样。印象决定一切。政治家没有时间去一一面试应聘者，因此你一定要让你的CV起作用。这是你第一次自我介绍，第一次打招呼，所以要确保让别人记住你。
好的，现在你有了完美的CV。你完成了实习、申请了一系列工作。然后，你等到了日夜等待的邮件或电话通知……你被要求参加它们的面试了！
In this article, we will address two crucial practical steps that will help you make the leap from an excellent student to a professional political operative.
As we discussed in the previous articles, the modern political work place is incredibly competitive. Even with an excellent education from a world class university, there is no guarantee that you will be able to find a job in your national or local Parliaments.
So how do you make yourself stand out? How do you realise your potential when the employment field is crowded with equally talented individuals, equally set on fulfilling their political aspirations? The answer is to secure a parliamentary internship and to have a world class CV. Let us start with the internship.
An internship is an opportunity to work in a political office, usually in a low level position and usually (I am afraid to say) for no salary. Now I can hear what you are thinking. Why should I work for free? Well, the truth is, you probably should not be, but unfortunately, the easiest path into a political office is through the process of an internship.
But as well as working for free there is another crucial problem...internships are highly competitive as well! So what can you do? As discussed in the last article, it is vital that you build up a set of skills through extracurricular at Universities that an employer will find attractive. The most obvious for a political environment is to work for the student newspaper, join the debating society, engage in a political forum or work for a charity. This will give you the necessary skills to attract an employer’s attention and hopefully secure that first crucial internship.
When you secure the internship not only will you gain invaluable work experience but you will also start making the initial contacts you will need to secure a full time position in the future. Remember, the internship is your opportunity to distinguish yourself as the best person for any job you apply for in the future. An internship is not only a privilege, but a vital first step on the road to success.
Ok, so you have got the great degree from a great university, you have lots of extracurricular experiences and you have just completed your first internship. What next? You need to make a winning CV!
Now to have got this far you will have had to have had a basic CV already. But now you have completed your internship you want to have the most professional CV imaginable. When I worked in the House of Commons and was in charge of recruiting staff, we would often receive more than 200 applications. At least half of these failed because they were not professional enough. There were some good candidates with good experience who failed to make it to interview because not enough attention was made to their CV.
You might think this is unfair. But in a political environment where attention to detail is essential, and the smallest mistake can lead to a political scandal, your future employers have to be able to see that you have an eye for. Therefore, I strongly suggest that you get your CV made professionally. It may cost some money now, but a professional CV can last you a lifetime, and will definitely help distinguish you from the other job candidates.
Remember, your CV is like that first handshake. Impressions are everything. Politicians do not have the time to interview every candidate so you must make your CV count. It is your first introduction, your first hello, so make sure they remember you.
So you now have your CV. You have completed your internship and you have applied for your first jobs. Then, you get the email or phone call you have been waiting for...you have been invited for an interview!
