望穿秋水，心儀的公司沒有刊登招聘廣告怎麽辦？你有沒有想過主動撰寫「意向書」，力求取得一職？

　　甚麼是意向書？你有想過一封意向書能助你取得心儀的工作嗎？ 眾所周知，並非每一間公司都會把所有職位空缺都刊登於求職網站或搜索引擎上的。 很多時候，一些較高的職位都是由內部人員或通過轉介填補的。因此，公司沒有刊登招聘廣告並不代表不缺人手，而你其實大可以考慮主動邁出一步，向心儀的公司表達意向，積極爭取入職機會。在大多數情況下，意向書可用以表示對某個工作或職位空缺感興趣，另外，也可以用來向心儀的公司介紹自己，告知對方自己的資歷和職業意向，從而期盼獲得對方青睞，並由他們為你安排合適的工作崗位。

　　本周，筆者準備了12個實用字句及一篇Email範例，以便大家主動出擊，向心儀的公司投寫意向書，力求取得一職！
