一、怎樣寫求職信
怎樣寫求職信
The purpose of a letter of applicationis to help the applicant obtain the job he is interested in. It should state clearly what position the applicant wants, and should tell what his abilities are and what he has to offer. It should provide a quick, clear picture of the applicant's qualifications, accomplishment and aims. It should present the applicant to possible employees in the best light.
A well-written letter of application, however, does not necesarily guarantee a position; but it does insure consideration and a better chance of an interview. The applicant cannot hope to get his whole story into his letter, but he should cover enough ground to intrigue the prospective employer and make the employer willing to meet him, speak to him, and find out more about him. It takes more than a good letter to land a job; instead, it takes ability, specific experience, and good character. But the letter may open the door for the applicant, and give him the chance to "sell" himself.
A letter of application should be simple, human, personal and brief without omitting any essential or pertinent facts. The applicant is well advised not to write a dull, stereotyped letter of application. What he should do is to make the letter interesting. Generalities should be avoided in it, that is, it should be specific. The letter should be typed if possible. When the applicant can neither type his letter, nor has it typed by someone else, he should write it out very neatly and legibly in case the letter is discarded for its illegibility.

六、英語求職信避免生僻詞
英語求職信避免生僻詞
現在讓我們來比較一下下面的三個句子在語氣上有何不同：
A、 I am not only competent to install a filing system that will fulfill the needs of your corporation,but also well qualified to operate it efficiently.(我自信不僅可以設定一套能滿足貴公司需求的檔案分類系統，而且可以有效地進行操作。)
在此句中使用了not only……but also，competent 和well qualified 等詞語，表現得太自信，有夜郎自大之嫌，故不可取。
B、I think that I should probably make a good accountant for your factory.（我想我可能成為貴廠的一名好會計員）。
此句中的情態動詞should和副詞probably 所表達的語氣都欠肯定，而make（成為）一詞也缺乏自信，整句話顯得語氣太弱，有自卑感，因此亦不可取。
C、I am confident that my experience and references will show you that I can fulfil the particular requirements of your secretarial position (我相信我的經驗和證明人可以向您表明，我能夠符合貴單位祕書一職的特定需要。)
此句中的confident 一詞語氣肯定，給人一種自信感，而will show 和I can 也無自大之嫌，因而此句用得恰到好處，有特殊風格。
