The CMHA Employment Project is nearing its close. Before the conclusion of this project in September, the organisers have decided to hold one last workshop, headed by Mr ChunXi Yu. Both English and Chinese speakers are welcome to attend this project which will encompass the best parts of Eastern and Western culture.

This workshop will encourage participants to explore issues surrounding personal development and obstacles to success whilst recognising that individuals have very different and disparate experiences. These lead to individuals adopting differing belief systems and values, influencing our response to the world we live in. This project will focus on the way in which different outlooks on life condition the individual response to success and failure, as well as aiming to help individuals pinpoint personal life goals and map a route to success.

This type of workshop usually requires a participation fee of £100+ however the CMHA Employment Project has managed to collaborate with New Education and is able to offer this workshop free of charge. So please do not miss this chance to participate in a rewarding and positive project which aims to nurture the individual and promote independent thought and growth.

All those interested please contact Miss Wong on 02076131008 for further information and to reserve a place on this workshop.

In these times of economic difficulty, employment rates take a sharp dive and countless people not only find it harder to find work but also face more financial obstacles in their paths. However residents of England are entitled to receive financial help from the welfare state system. England's welfare system is extended to 7 main categories of beneficiaries- children, pregnant women, the incapacitated, pensioners, the widowed, unemployed and those from low income families.

In response to demand, the Employment and Benefits Workshop was founded to explain the benefit system and support lines already established by organisations such as Job Centre Plus. This project aims to explain the registration process by which the individual can obtain an allowance, the different types of allowance and support which can be obtained and aid the individual in identifying the financial benefits which best fit their needs and financial situation. This project also delves into the process of self-employment and the backing those wishing to become self-employed can expect from Job Centre Plus.

To clarify the criteria for participation, this project is only open to Chinese people with mental health issues wishing to gain employment. Mental health issues can range from mental illness to sleeping disorders, anxiety issues and stress, to feelings of isolation and helplessness. If you feel your personal situation matches any of these criteria please contact CMHA and Ms Wong at 020 7613 2008 for further information and to reserve a place at this instructive and rewarding workshop.

「認知分析洳療，如何做改變」工作坊Cognitive Analytic Therapy- How To Make Changes Workshop

2011-06-23T10:41:00.000-07:00

華心會「就業支援計劃」定期邀請心理學專家為服務使用者舉辦各類專業講座或個人成長工作坊，距上個月邀得專業輔導心理治療師陳淦泉先生講解「自信敢言、立場堅定」工作坊後，「就業支援計劃」另邀得心理治療與輔導碩士生趙溪小姐為服務使用者舉辦「認知分析治療，如何做改變」工作坊，為大家講解個人思維如何左右個人行為及表現，幫助大家修正負面消極思想與行為，激勵大家求職路上精益求精，自強不息！

趙溪小姐為倫敦蓋爾斯（Guys）醫院義工治療師，此「認知分析治療」（Cognitive Analytic Therapy）為蓋爾斯醫院新發展的心理治療法。趙溪小姐道：「這是一個認知過程，其宗旨為幫助當事人處理一些困擾他們的實際問題，譬如一個很沒有自信，自卑的人，想找工作，簡歷卻一封都沒寄出，那他當然是不可能找得到工作；針對他的問題，我們要處理的是他的自卑感；自卑感這問題處理了，他求職的行為表現自會不一樣，有了信心，他將不再退縮一角沒有行動，討諸行動！」

趙溪小姐將在工作坊裡與大家講解「認知分析治療」理念，與大家進行小組討論，然後針對各人所受困擾畫出其思想流程圖，再進行練習，確保參與者經由這些理解及練習修正之前的負面思想，經而改變行為表現，由消極變積極！

(最靠近地鐵站為Old Street, 搭Northern Line黑線)

The CMHA Employment Project has invited prominent psychologists and experts in related fields to deliver a range of workshops for service users. Last month Miss KC Lee took charge of a workshop centreing on the important quality of assertiveness. This month we have invited Misss Xi Zhao, a therapist reading a masters in psychotherapy and counselling to deliver a workshop following the principles of Cognitive Analytic Therapy. Msiss Xi Zhao is currently practising as a volunteer therapist at Guys Hospital whom have pioneered Cognitive Analytic Therapy as an innovative form of therapy which encourages self-improvement and builds self-esteem.

The focus of this project is to identify the relationship between thoughts and behaviour within the individual. The aim is to transform negative thinking which can hinder physical action into positive, proactive thoughts and matching behaviour.
An example of a person who would benefit from this workshop is a individual that wants to find work but due to low self-esteem has been unable to bring himself to send out a single CV to prospective employers. Cognitive Analytic Therapy aims to tackle the root of the problem which is clearly his lack of confidence. After this stumbling block is removed he can then emerge as a confident individual rather than allowing a negative mental state to hinder his own employment prospects.

Miaas Xi Zhao will first explain the basic concepts of the therapy process and the empowering results that can be obtained by going through Cognitive Analytic Therapy and then aid individuals in idenfication of mental obstacles they have placed in their own paths. After this, the group will then be led through small group discussions and exercises which aim to reveal individual mental frameworks and create positive and self-conscious individuals.

To take advantage of the high quality professionals that the CMHA Employment Project have lined up for this workshop please contact CMHA's Miss Wong at 020 7613 1008

「壓力管理」工作坊 Stress Management workshop

2011-04-20T06:13:00.000-07:00

壓力與焦慮已經在現代人的生活經驗中佔了很大的比重，但人們卻常忽略它帶來的傷害，任由壓力與焦慮日積月累直致出現情緒或行為疾患的症狀，方才驚覺其嚴重性。

感受壓力或焦慮時時，身體會發生的變化包括包括肌肉緊繃、淺而快的呼吸，同時合併心跳、血壓升高、流汗與腎上腺素的分泌；長時間的處於過度壓力或焦慮狀態，生理上容易出現諸般症狀如失眠、脫髮、頭疼、頭暈、高血壓、容易傷風感冒等，甚而患上嚴重疾病。

除了身體健康容易出問題，長時間的精神壓抑與過度壓力，對精神健康更是大為不利，不經處理的過度壓抑與壓力，有可能導致精神病的發生！既然壓力是生活中不可避免的，那麼，如何針對生活中不同層次的壓力因應就變得很重要；唯有適當的因應這些壓力，才能將這些壓力對我們的影響降到最低。

壓力管理可以減緩與日俱增的壓力對我們帶來的衝擊，華心會「就業支援計劃」針對此點特邀得臨床心理學家曾淑岑小姐舉辦「壓力管理」工作坊，為此計劃服務使用者講解何謂壓力，如何正面看待及處理日常生活諸般壓力，以保身心靈健康！

「就業支援計劃」的設立旨宗為幫助倫敦受精神困擾的華裔求職，有興趣參加此計劃或出席此免費「壓力管理」工作坊者，請聯絡計劃負責人王小姐。

Stress and anxiety have become a major part of daily life experiences in this modern generation. Nevertheless people often ignore the damages they bring by allowing stress and anxiety to accumulate over time. This develops into emotional and behavioural disorders, showing the important awareness of this issue.
Feeling stress or anxiety constantly can develop symptoms of muscle tension, shallow or fast breathing at the same time combined with a high heart beat rate, increased blood pressure, sweating and the secretion of adrenaline. If a person has been feeling stress or anxiety for a long period of time, they would prone to all sorts of physical symptoms such as insomnia, hair loss, headaches, dizziness, hypertension, sensitivity to cold and possibility to develop serious illnesses.

Aside from the vulnerability of health, mental health will be in great danger if someone is in a state of mental depression and over-stress for a long period of time. Without careful handling long-term depression or stress, it could lead to the occurrence of mental illness! Since stress is unavoidable in life, it then becomes a very important issue in finding ways to deal with different levels of stress in everyday life. With an appropriate response to these stresses, we can reduce the effect stress has on us.

Stress management can lower the levels of stress in everyday lives. CMHA Employment Project targets this point by inviting a clinical psychologist Dr Christine Tseng to be at the ‘Stress Management’ workshops. This workshop is for the purpose of service users to find out how to view stress in a positive manner and how to handle stress factors in everyday lives so as to look after mental health well-being.
CMHA Employment Project aims to Chinese in London who suffer from mental health issues to gain and retain employment. Anyone who is interested in joining the project or attending this free ‘Stress Management’ workshop, please contact the project worker Khim.

「克服負面心態」工作坊 Targeting Negative Thoughts workshop

2011-04-20T05:38:00.000-07:00

華心會「就業支援計劃」為幫助增強服務使用者的生活技能及提升他們自信心，定期為服務使用者舉辦各項工作坊，例如「如何寫簡歷」、「成功面試」、「溝通技巧」、「壓力管理」等。

此支援計劃最近特別邀得心理輔導博士生兼商業與營銷資深講師李淦泉先生，為服務使用者舉辦「克服負面心態」工作坊。

古來有言，你最大的敵人，永遠是你自己。可曾發覺自己腦裡浮現的念頭如「他認為我是個失敗的人！」「我這回考試／面試一定不成功！」「我一定拿不到這份工作！」「如果我失敗了，我這一輩子完蛋了！」「我是一個不受歡迎的人，沒有人會喜歡我。」「不好的事情總是發生在我身上！」「我甚麼都做不好！」？這些想法在腦子裡發生時，你是那麼地毫不置疑它們的真實性，於是你感覺沮喪、絕望、失落、情緒低落，甚而懷疑個人的存在價值。而行動上，你的表現是退縮、消極、不起勁。

導致你無法積極行動的，不是因為你當真是個失敗的人，或你考試不及格面試不成功，或你當真是個失敗的人，而是你的負面想法。

「克服負面心態」工作坊裡，陳淦泉先生和參與者講述諸項日常生活事件，討論各人在事件發生時腦裡的想法，再進一歩檢驗不同想法或心態如何造就不一樣的行為表現。練習過程中讓大家看見，負面想法及心態對行為表現的直接影響。以上述例子而言，如果覺得自己考試或面試一定不成功，則考場裡可能表現不自信或慌亂，因而導致考試成績不理想。

負面心態影響個人表現，更直接影響人際關係。一個認定自己不受歡迎的人，往往對他人的認同或讚賞視而不見，同時杯弓蛇影，視他人無惡意的評論為針對自己，認定對方詆譭自己，繼而鞏固個人不受歡迎的預設心態，如此，行為表現上則顯得畏縮、沉默、迴避、孤澼、落落寡歡、不討喜，讓他人覺得難以親近，而落得人際關係不佳。

工作坊裡幫助參與者檢驗個人負面心態及了解負面心態所帶來的負面情緒及行為後，陳淦泉先生進一歩解說，負面心態是可以改變，將之以正面心態取代的。

比方說，如果你覺得自己凡事比人差：「他比我更成功！」你可以換一種想法：「我也不是太差！」如果你擔心公司的裁員波及你：「失去這份工作我就完蛋了！」你可以換一種想法：「老天自有最好的安排，無論發生什麼事，我都會過得很好。」

以負面心態看事情，並不能讓事情變得更好，反而會浪費很多不必要的時間精力在擔心、受怕、憤怒、怨恨上；更重要的是，如果你能夠轉念，用正面的心態去面對事情，你不單毫無損失，反而，心態改變之後，可讓自己變得比較快樂、比較有能量，這樣子當不如意的事情真的發生時，你可以更有能力地去處理它！

陳淦泉先生總結此工作坊道：「讓我們先從第一步做起：學習在生活中，時時觀察自己在想些什麼，如果發現了負面的思想，立即以正面想法將之取代。一段時間下來，你可以看看自己的生活是否有所改變。信心累積之後，你將會更願意持之以恆用正面信念來取代負面心態！」

CMHA ‘Employment Support Scheme’ helps service users to strengthen their life skills and increase their self-confidence by organising workshops regularly for service users such as ‘CV Writing’, ‘Successful Interview’, ‘Communication Skills’, ‘Stress Management’ and etc.
In supporting this program, we recently invited a professional counsellor with a doctorate degree and a senior lecturer in business and marketing, Mr Lee Gan Quan to deliver ‘Overcome Negative Thoughts’ workshop for CMHA Employment Project service users.
This phrase ‘Your biggest enemy is yourself’ has been around since ancient times. Have you ever found yourself emerging thoughts such as ‘He thinks I am a failure!’, ‘Now I will not succeed in this exam/interview!’, ‘I will not succeed in getting this job!’, ‘If I fail, my life is over!’, ‘I am not a popular person and no one likes me!’, ‘Bad things always happen to me!’, ‘I am no good at anything!’ When you have these kinds of thoughts in your mind, you would have never suspected if they are genuinely real, therefore you feel frustrated, despair, lost, depressed and even have doubts about the value of yourself as an individual and so in action your performance is reduced and you take a negative outlook.
It is not because you really are a failure, or you fail your exam /do not succeed in interview that led you not been able to carry out positive actions but rather your negative thoughts.
At ‘Overcome Negative Thoughts’ workshop, Mr. Lee Gan Quan and participants talked about various matters in daily life and discussed personal thoughts when events occurred. Furthermore we found out how different thoughts or mental states of mind can lead to different kinds of behaviour. Throughout the practising process, we can see that negative thoughts or attitudes can have a direct impact on our behaviour. The above example shown that if you think exam/interview will not succeed for sure, you may appear lack of confidence or become panic in the exam room. This can lead to non ideal exam results.
Negative thoughts affects individual performance. It has an even more direct impact on interpersonal relationships. If someone firmly believes he/she is not a popular person, he/she often ignores other people’s recognition or appreciation. At the same time he/she is extremely suspicious of others. He/she regards others’ non-malicious comments as against himself. He/she accounts other party as defaming himself/herself. The default state of mind then consolidates him as an unpopular person. So the behaviour performance appears to be shrink, silence, avoidance, isolation, sad, unlovable, others find it difficult to get close and they will end up in poor interpersonal relationships.
In the workshop, Mr Lee helped participants to test personal negative thoughts and understand its consequences. Mr Lee Gan Quan explains further that negative thoughts can be changed and replaced with positive thoughts.
For example, if you feel everything you do is worse than everyone else: ‘He is more successful than I am!’ You can look at it in a different view: ‘I am not that bad!’ If you worry about redundancy might get to you and thinks losing the job means your life is over, you can try a different perspective such as ‘God has the best plan for you. No matter what happens, I will be fine.’
Negative thoughts often does not help in making things better, on the contrary, a lot of unnecessary time and energy will be wasted on worrying, fear, anger and resent, more importantly, if you switch to positive thoughts, not only you have no losses nevertheless a change in attitude can make you feel much happier and become more energetic. Along this lines, positive thoughts and attitude means better capability to deal with things when they go wrong.
Mr Lee Gan Quan summarises the workshop by saying ‘Let's make a start with our first step, learn to be aware of your own thoughts, observe your thinking, when negative thoughts pop out, replace them with positive thoughts immediately. After a period of time, you can see if there are any changes in your life. Following the build up of confidence, you will be more willing to persevere. And continue with the positive thoughts and attitude!’

精神健康講座/Mental Health Talk

2011-02-03T03:37:00.000-08:00

說到精神病，你的聯想是甚麼？暴力？病者突然發病抓刀殺人？狂叫亂喊？精神病人難以預料，離開他們愈遠愈好？──這是一般人對精神病的觀念，不正確的觀念！精神病人需要的，是認知與理解，支持與關懷，不是恐懼與排斥。絕大部份的精神病人，並無暴力傾向，有的，是自卑、信心的喪失、孤獨、無奈、無助。

精神病是一般華人忌諱談論的課題，彷彿不談，這問題便不存在；一般人都沒有意識到對精神病要加以認識，如何照顧精神健康更是必須重視。

關於精神病，精神病是怎麼發生的呢？你知道有多少類精神病？你對精神病的認識可是簡單的「發瘋」兩個字？可認為一旦患上精神病，便前途完蛋？

華心會心理健康就業計劃的成立旨在幫助精神病康復者或精神受困擾者投身職場──甚麼是精神受困擾？生活壓力過於龐大，極端恐慌或焦慮，失眠，過去的創傷經歷導致你信心大失，十分憂鬰；這些都是心理及精神困擾。──如果你是倫敦居民，覺得自己心理或精神備受困擾，或是精神病康復者，準備求職，請聯絡華心會心理健康就業計劃負責人王小姐。

華心會心理健康就業計劃為幫助有關人士重投社會懷抱，亦為提昇大家對精神健康的關懷與認識，特於二月四日舉辦華心會心理健康就業計劃講座；有興趣對精神健康多加了解？想對精神病多些認識不再無知？想知道華心會心理健康計劃如何幫助你投身職場？請致電華心會王小姐報名參加此免費講座！

What are your first thoughts upon hearing the term, “Mental Health”? Violence? Patients who would suddenly pick up a knife with the intent to murder? Random verbal outbursts? Mental illness sufferers can be difficult to predict, so should we avoid them, the further the better? – This is often the misconception and lack of understanding of mental illness. What mental health sufferers need is greater understanding and awareness of their condition and the necessary support and care, not living their lives in fear and exclusion. In the vast majority of mental illness sufferers, they do not exhibit any violent tendencies. What is prevalent among them is the sense of inferiority, a lack of confidence, loneliness, frustration and helplessness.

The subject of mental illness remains taboo in the Chinese community, to the extent that it is not discussed as it is perceived to not exist. Most people do not realise the importance of understanding mental illness and how to provide mental health care.

So, how do mental illness problems initiate? Do you know how many types of mental illnesses there are? Can mental illness be summarised so simply with the word “crazy”? Once an individual has suffered from mental illness, is their future now over?

CMHA is running an employment project to help previous mental health sufferers to find employment back into the workplace. – What are mental health issues? Overwhelming pressure in life, extreme fear or anxiety, insomnia, low self-esteem caused by past traumatic experiences, depression; all the above can be categorised as psychological and mental distress. If you are a London resident and feel that you personally are troubled by psychological or mental distress, or you are a mental illness patient, if you are job-seeking, please contact the project leader for the CMHA employment project, Ms Wong.

The CMHA Mental Health employment program aims to reintegrate people into society. We also work to improve people’s recognition and understanding of mental health, in particular, with the employment program seminar on February 4th held at the CMHA office. Are you interested in learning more about Mental Health, dispel the misconception and increase your knowledge? Would you like to know how CMHA can help your mental health and prepare you for the job market? Please contact Ms Wong and register to join this free seminar!

「如何提升個人自信」工作坊/Confidence building workshop

2010-09-30T07:11:00.000-07:00

危急時，你可以保持冷靜嗎？你認為自己的優點比缺點多嗎？你可以坦然表達自己真正的意見嗎？你的決定若無人認同，你可以堅持到底嗎？你對自己充滿信心嗎？還是對自己毫無信心，覺得自己一無是處一事無成，苦於不知如何改變自己？
自信心是成功的首要素質，自信心是心態的核心；有的人受到挫折時，始終不能產生足夠的自信，從而一蹶不振，有的人卻能愈挫愈勇，無論面對的困難多大，競爭多強，皆能輕鬆應戰，取得成功；分別就在於能否不斷超越自己，產生自信心！

華心會就業支援計劃負責人特為此計劃服務使用者開辦「如何提升個人自信」工作坊，為大家講解何謂自信心，與大家做練習實習如何提升個人自信的；此工作坊亦免費開放給有興趣參與的公眾人士，有意出席者，請聯絡華心會就業支援計劃負責人王玉琴小姐。

Are you able to stay calm in pressured situations? Do you often appreciate your strengths instead of focusing in your weaknessness? Are you comfortable with expressing your opinions? Would you risk to go against the majority when you believe what you do is right? Are you confident, or do you often consider yourself as inadequate or worthless and struggling to transform yourself?

Being confident is the key to success, the secret held within those who constantly accept new challenges, and the ability to overcome any unsuccessful situations. Realizing your self confidence is the first step into surpassing yourself leading to success.

自信敢言工作坊

2010-09-21T08:16:00.000-07:00

八月廿四日華心會就業支援計劃舉辦「自信敢言」工作坊，出席人數踴躍；可見，那是好多人的心願，希望自己可以自信敢言，勇於表達自己，敢於說不！

工作坊後，出席皆表頗有收獲，謂通過練習，終摸著了點兒窍門，有了頭緒該如何可以做到自信敢言。

現將「自信敢言」工作坊講義刋登於此，則當日不及出席工作坊者，得以一窺何謂自信敢言。

24//8/10 華心會就業支援計劃工作坊
自信敢言 Assertiveness

甚麼是自信敢言？
• 對外在世界的態度，俱備一套有效的溝通技巧。
• 自己是有價值的，個人意見、感受該被尊重的，有權享受生命與生活。
• 相等地對待與尊重他人。
• 尊重自己及他人的需求與立場。

●清楚個人感受及需求，知道如何達致此需求
●有能力不攻擊性他人，平靜地溝通
●想說「好」(Yes)時說「好」，想說「不好」(No)時說「不好」與其不停同意他人只為討對方歡悅
●確定及堅持範疇與界線，可能起衝突或爭議的情況下亦願意爭取個人定位
●衝突或爭議發生時有自信自己可以處理
●兩個人持不同意見時知道如何商議協調
●可以坦誠開放表達自我同時聆聽他人
●自信、開放的身體語言
●可以給及接受正與負面回應／反應
●正面、積極的展望

自信敢言的另一面？
●消極、負面
●攻擊性／爭鬥性／侵略性

錯誤觀念：
自信敢言是自私、爭鬥性的！？
完全相反，自信敢言是清晰、冷靜的思考，有禮的商議，各自有權擁有個人意見，大家的意見都是重要、該被重視的。

溝通
清晰的溝通是自信敢言裡極重要的一環，清晰的溝通是：
• 理解：你能夠明白及概述情況／狀況
• 感受：你能夠講解自己在那狀況下的感受
• 需要：你能夠清楚表達個人所需、講述原因

自信敢言的溝通
說話內容重要，說話／傳達方式更為重要。有效的溝通方式：
• 對自己坦誠個人內心感受
• 保持平靜，立場堅定
• 清晰、明確、直接
• 遇到反對意見，持續堅持傳達你的意願，同時聆聽對方的意願及立場，嘗試提供其他解決辦法
• 有甚麼不確定、有疑問的，問！
• 若對方嘗試顧左右而言他，平靜地向他指出，持續重復表達你的意願及立場
• 使用恰當的身體語言
• 時常不忘對方的權利及立場

自信敢言是：
• 站穩個人立場，確定你的意願及感受被顧及，不讓他人剝削你、利用你或佔你便宜。
• 它不同於攻擊性或侵略性，你可以非強迫性地，不粗魯無禮地自信敢言。
• 它是清楚表明你的意願與期望，並堅持你的權利被顧及。
• 它促進個人自信及自覺性。
• 它是可學習的溝通與行為表現方式。

自信敢言原則
1. 我尊重自己及自己所做的。
2. 認知個人需求──「丈夫」「妻子」「媽媽」「父親」「朋友」「員工」等角色外，我是一個人，一個獨立的個體，有我個人的需求。
3. 溝通裡使用「我」，「我感覺…………..」「我想………….」；例：「我對你這個決定感覺不是很滿意。」

MBTI 職業性格工作坊

2010-07-26T07:13:00.000-07:00

七月廿六日職業性格測驗工作坊出席者表示，工作坊後，對自己認識有加，信心提升！

錯過此工作坊者，此附有關資料，讓大家郎以參考：

MBTI （Myers-Briggs Type Indicator）是一套性格測驗，理論源自心理動力大師容格（Carl Jung）的性格類型分析，經Myers-Briggs家族半世紀精研改良而成。全球每年約有二百五十萬人使用這套測驗，其中超過八十萬人為管理階層，MBTI已成為近年心理輔導界及商界廣泛使用的性格測驗。

　　心理動力大師容格，是繼弗洛依德（Sigmund Freud）後，對近代心理學影響深遠的另一宗師。容格心理學博大精深，對人類行為觀察入微。容格發現不同性情傾向的人，在使用心理能力（Psychic Energy），收集資料和學習，做決定和生活態度上截然不同，因而建立性格類型理論（Psychological Types）。

MBTI 與其他心理測驗之分別
　　MBTI 並不測試心理病態問題，旨在反映個人性格類型，對個人成長、發掘性格潛能、改善人際關係，並了解自己在壓力下之心理反應，都很有幫助；此外，MBTI對個人興趣及職業發展取向，具良好預測作用。

容格認為人大致可分為四種基本運作與態度類型，不同人有不同取向，形成十六種不同性格：

你的傾向是：

心理能力的走向
E 外向型（Extraverted）：著重外在世界，因注意外在事情而獲得動力
I 內向型（Introverted）：著重內心世界，因反省、感覺和意念而獲得動力

認識外在世界的方法
S 辨識型（Sensing）：使用五官收集資料，強調事實，注重實際和具體觀點
N 直覺型（Intuition）：注重事情的可能性與關連性，看見潛在遠景

倚賴甚麼方式做決定
T 理智型（Thinking）：根據客觀事實，倚重分析來做決定，注重公平原則
F 感性型（Feeling）：下決定時，以個人觀點出發，重視個人價值、喜好和原則

生活方式和處事態度
J 決斷型（Judging）：喜歡有條理的生活，實踐計劃時，以目標為本
P 熟思型（Perceiving）：不介意突發事情，喜歡彈性生活，注重過程而非目標

二月「寫好履歷表」工作坊

2010-02-23T08:42:00.000-08:00

二月廿日，華心會「就業支援計劃」舉辦第二回工作坊，講解履歷表之重要性及如何寫好履歷表。

履歷表是求職者與可能性雇主的第一道橋樑，突出顯眼的履歷，才能在堆積如山的眾多履歷表中突穎而出，獲得雇主青睞，後進一歩獲得面試機會。

歷履表有許多不同樣板，亦有許多不同寫法，用甚麼方法，如何寫得完美，其中大有學問！

好些參與此工作坊的服務使用者，在此工作坊後才恍然如此發覺！

寄上履歷表同時，一般人容易忽視的，是求職說明信（cover letter)。不知道履歷表重要，求職說明信又更重要！

求職說明信是你給應聘單位寄上履表時，一封標有招聘公司/招聘人/地址等抬頭的信，内容是從哪兒得到招聘信息，自己最大的勢所在，對招聘職位的適合程度，對招聘人的感謝等。

求職說明信非常重要，因為許多老板只看求職說明信，若看了信感覺沒興趣，往往連履歷表看也不看，一并丢到垃圾桶裡！

Khim將儘量每個月辦一次工作坊，希望二月份的這「寫好履歷表」對參與者有其幫助；三月份，準備舉辦的工作坊是「成功面試」，確定日期後將馬上知會大家！

CV is the open sesame to your prospective employer, only those outstanding this can catch the eye of employers among piles of CV, gaining further interview opportunity.

CV has many templates as well as various way of writing, how to write a fabulous CV is not an easy task.

Many of the participants who atttended the workshop haven't realized about this before, taken CV writing merely a simple task to put in relevant information!

People tend to neglect Cover Letter while presenting their CVs, have no understanding about the importance of Cover letter.

Cover letter is a letter states your target business/employer/address and other information posted with your CV, with desription where you got the vacancy information, your premium advantage, how you match the job and the compliment to employers.

Cover letter is significantly important as most recruiters don’t bother to read the CV after a unattractive Cover Letter.

Khim is expected to hold one workshop every month, hope the February one have lent you a hand. The workshop in March is about Successful Interview, and I will inform everyone after the date is settled.

Why apprenticeship

2010-02-19T04:33:00.000-08:00

Mayor urges London businesses to take on apprentices
The Mayor of London, Boris Johnson, and the London Apprenticeship Company (LAC) have called for more support for apprentices in the capital.

Speaking at the launch of a new Transport for London (TfL) apprenticeship scheme, the Mayor said that taking on an apprentice was a fantastic way to bring fresh talent and energy into a business. "I salute all businesses across London that already have apprenticeship schemes in place and am encouraging many more to follow suit," he said. According to the Mayor, over 80 per cent of businesses that employ apprentices report increased productivity in the workplace.

As part of the TfL initiative, the LAC has agreed to recruit 50 young people to take part in a training programme at the London Transport Museum. The LAC, which is part funded by the London Development Agency, is a not for profit organisation that makes it easier for small and medium-sized organisations to take on apprentices. The LAC recruits the apprentices and employs them on behalf of a host business.

One group that has taken on an apprentice via the LAC is business organisation London First. Hannah Mayne was hired in summer 2009. "We have been delighted with Hannah's progress," says chief executive Baroness Jo Valentine. "She has received mentoring and opportunities to develop her skills, while London First has benefited through employing a dedicated member of staff at a competitive rate who is eager to learn and grow."

The TfL initiative was announced during Apprenticeship Week 2010, which took place between 1 February and 5 February. Read about Apprenticeship Week 2010 on the National Apprenticeship Service website - Opens in a new window.

市長鼓勵倫敦企業招收更多的實習生

倫敦市長Boris Johnson,連同倫敦實習生公司（LAC），呼喚對首都的實習生們給與更多的支持。

在倫敦交通（TFL）新舉行的一個實習生計畫上，市長稱招收實習生是給公司帶來新鮮血液的絕妙一招。“我向倫敦所有那些有招收實習生計畫的公司致敬並且我希望對於合適的實習生會有更多的機會。”據他說稱，逾八成的企業在雇傭了實習生后提高了工作效率。

作為TFL首創計畫的一部份，LAC已經同意招募50名年輕人加入倫敦交通博物館的一個培訓項目。LAC作為一個非盈利性機構，其一部份資金來源於倫敦發展署（London Development Agency），使得中小型企業能更容易地招收實習生。LAC代表那些企業來招募和雇傭實習生。

London First是一家通過LAC招收了學徒的公司。Hannah Mayne在2009年夏天被雇傭。“我們很高興Hannah的進步”首席執行官 Baroness Jo Valentine 說。“她獲得了能提高職業技能的指導和機會，同時London First也從以一份具有競爭力的價格雇傭了一位專注的員工中受益。”

TFL首創計畫發佈于2010實習周，即1月1日至1月5日。在新窗口打開國家實習生服務網（National Apprenticeship Service）獲得更多關於2010實習周的消息。

Benefit of volunteering

2010-02-15T05:09:00.000-08:00

Is the daily grind getting you down? Perhaps you should work for free, a study sugests.

Volunteer work has numerous positive psychological benefits. And even high stress roles, such as volunteering for fire or rescue services--and a better listener--at your job. "Volunteering can satisfy needs that aren't met through work and helps people to thoroughly disengage from daily jobs, " said Dr Eva Mojza of the university of Konstanz.

---an article taken from Metro newspaper 15/2/10

做義工的好處
是不是被每天單調的工作弄得很沮喪呢？一項研究表明，也許你應該試試一份不用拿報酬的工作.

志願者工作能帶來很多心理上積極的好處.亦能讓你成為工作中更好的聆聽者，──這包括那些壓力很大的角色，比如消防或者援救服務.

“志願者活動能滿足那些在工作中實現不了的需求並且幫助其它人從日常工作中解脫出來”康斯坦茨大學的 Eva Mojza博士稱。

「寫履歷表真麻煩！」「該從何寫起呢？」「怎麼寫好一份履歷表呢？」你可有如此煩惱？

為甚麼要寫履歷表？為甚麼要花功夫好好寫履歷表？

寫履歷表是找工作的第一件事，履歷表是尋工人士與未來雇主的第一次接觸，透過你的履歷表，對方覺得您有潛力，你才可能得到面試的機會。履歷若寫得不好，或輕率以待，你可能空有一身絕技，卻好久都找不到一份工作，得不到面試機會！

有鑑於此，華心會特為其「就業支援計劃」服務使用者開設「書寫履歷表」工作坊。

在這經濟不景當兒，工作機會不多，好的及適合你的更少；許多雇主每天過濾愈百份履歷表，如果你不曉得怎麼寫履歷表，無法以認真嚴肅的心態來面對寫履歷表這回事，不曉得如何根據你要的工作「所需要的能力」和你的「賣點」誠心誠意表現，要獲得就職機會，則難如登天矣！

此「書寫履歷表」工作坊特為華心會「就業支援午劃」服務使用者而設，若你有意出席此工作坊，請致電華心會，免費加入成為此計劃服務使用者！

February Events for CMHA
“CV writing is so annoying!” “How should I start my CV?” “What makes a good CV?” Have these questions ever bothered you?

Why do we write CVs? Why are CVs worth so much of our time and effort?

Constructing a CV is the first step to finding a job, it is the first point of contact between a job seeker and a potential employer. It is only when your potential is demonstrated through your CV that you might have the chance of an interview. Even a skilled and talented person would not be able to find a job or an interview chance if he writes his CV carelessly.

During this recession, there are few jobs, and even fewer suitable jobs; many employers go through hundreds of CVs every day and it would be impossible to find a job if you don’t know how to write a CV or you don’t treat the construction of your CV as a serious issue; also if you can’t demonstrate the linkage between the required skill and experience and your “selling points” sincerely.

Therefore, CMHA is specially opening a “CV Writing Workshop” for its Employment Project Service users. If you are interested in attending this workshop, please contact us and join as a service user for free!

CMHA Employment Project “CV Writing Workshop”
Date: 22nd February (Monday) 11:00 to 13:30
Venue: CMHA
155 Curtain Road,
London Ec2A 3QY
(Nearest station is Old Street)
Contact: Khim 020 7613 1008

The CMHA Employment Propject will also be holding a talk at the Chinese Information and Advice Centre (CIAC), explaining and presenting how our project helps Chinese job seekers find a job in England. Furthermore, our CMHA National Youth Volunteers will be giving a short drama presentation to promote mental and physical well being while recruiting new volunteers.

If you are interested in attending the talk and drama show, please contact the CIAC 08453131868 (Ext. 201) Miss Xiao.
