Sure, you've read a lot of articles on how to achieve the perfect cover letter. However, it's one thing to know what you should be doing, and it's another to actually execute it。
當然，你讀到過很多有關寫完美求職信的文章，但是，知道如何寫是一碼事，實際操作又是另一碼事。
The introduction of a cover letter can actually be the toughest part, because it's your chance to grab the reader's attention and set the tone for the rest of the letter. I always believe that the best way to lead is by example, so I've crafted sample cover letter introductions for you below. Note: I'm applying as a senior in college with a concentration in journalism for an editorial assistant position at POPSUGAR. These examples are fictional。
求職信的介紹部分最難下筆，因為如果這一部分寫得精彩，不僅可以吸引讀者的眼球，而且還能為下文做好鋪墊。我一直認為，最佳引導方式是舉例說明，所以，我在這裡為你精心製作了求職信介紹部分的幾個樣本。注：作為一名專注於新聞業的大四學生，我正在申請POPSUGAR雜誌的編輯助理職位。這些事例是虛構的。
This is a generic and more formal introduction that you can use for jobs with less creative leeway. Of course, it's not as attention-grabbing, but it may work better with more traditional companies。
該介紹屬通用型且較正式，用於申請缺乏創新空間的工作職位。無疑，它不是很新穎，但更易於被較傳統的公司所接受。
"I am currently a senior at Northwestern University's Medill School of Journalism seeking the position of an editorial assistant with POPSUGAR. I am looking for a creative work environment, one where I can indulge in my passion for celebrity news and utilize my new media background."
“目前，我在西北大學的新聞學院讀大四，希望獲得POPSUGAR雜誌的編輯助理職位。我渴望富於創新的工作環境，在這樣的環境中，我能滿懷激情地發掘名人新聞，利用我的新傳媒背景知識。”
Start out with a compliment. Remember, you don't want to go overboard with this and sound like you're fawning. Make it fun and attention-grabbing。
以讚美開頭，但記住不能過火，否則聽起來像奉承。要做到詼諧、激發讀者的興趣。
"Before I say anything, I'd like to thank POPSUGAR for creating such insanely addictive and comprehensive content that has become my go-to daily reading material — my bookmarks folder is ever grateful for the breathing space."
“首先，感謝POPSUGAR提供如此精彩的全方位內容，使人讀來不忍釋卷，以致於我每日必讀—— 我的書籤夾都因有喘息之機而慶幸。”
The confessional introduction is a good transition into showing your passion. In the example below, I managed to slide in a Twitter reference that reflects my grasp of social media, which is an attractive quality in an editorial role. The last bit about being the right fit for the company also shows confidence and drives home the fact in the reader's mind that you're a good candidate。
坦白型介紹是展示激情的良好過渡。在下面的例子裡，我成功地過渡到一篇推特微博，它反映出我對社交媒體的把握，而這正是作為編輯所需要的特質。既使表明你適合該職位的.只是隻言片語，但也會展現你的自信，並讓讀者感受到你是一名優秀的候選人。
"I'll confess. I'm a celebrity news junkie. I live and breathe everything to do with the entertainment world. From staying up to watch Kate Middleton's wedding to tweeting up-to-the-minute updates of Miley Cyrus's latest adventures to the 15,000 followers of my pop culture Twitter account — my passion for the celebrity world makes me the right fit for the editorial assistant position."
“我承認，我喜歡名人八卦。娛樂圈的任何事情都會勾起我的興趣。我會熬夜觀看凱特·米德爾頓的婚禮，時刻更新米勒·賽勒斯的最新動態微博，而且我的流行文化推特帳戶擁有15000名粉絲——我對名人圈的熱情使我成為編輯助理職位的合適人選。”
Start by talking about your job experience. It's your chance to bring attention to the most impressive part of your résumé。
從介紹工作經歷開始。讓閱讀者關注你簡歷中最令你驕傲的部分。
"Two years of serving as the editor in chief of the biggest fashion magazine on campus has made me even more passionate about covering and being the first to spot the latest trends."
“我在學校最大的時尚雜誌擔任過兩年的主編，這使我對採訪更加富有激情，同時培養了我對最新動態一流的洞察力。”
Show how well you know the company. In the example below, I address the heart of what POPSUGAR is about and what really sets it apart from other media companies. It shows that I'm really paying attention to the brand。
表明你非常瞭解該公司。在下面的例子裡，我會講出POPSUGAR的核心所在，與其他媒體公司的真正不同之處。這些內容證明你對這一品牌的傾情關注。
"There aren't any media companies like POPSUGAR — I truly admire the way POPSUGAR has its finger on the pulse of the latest and greatest happenings yet always manages to cover them in a tasteful way."
