英語求職信需要注意的細節問題

  想進外企工作?從學習怎麼寫求職信開始!向外企HR投去一份perfect的求職信,讓你獲得面試先機!接下來讓我們談談求職信的細節問題。

  一、求職信的第一段說明寫信的目的,有些專家認為不宜用分詞句子,比如用下面的句子做開頭,因為這樣的句子被人用得大多,顯得陳腐,失去特點。

 

  Replying to your advertisement...

  Answering your advertisement...

  Believing that there is an opportunity...

  Thinking that there is a vacancy in your company...

  Having read your ad...

  再比較下面三組例句。每一組裡面1句較差,經過修改後2句顯得比較恰當。

  A:

  1 Replying to your recent advertisement in the Boston Evening Globe, I wish to apply for the position of sales manager.

  2 I am applying for the position of sales manager. I believe my qualifications will meet your exacting requirements.

  B:

  1 I believe after reading your advertisement in this morning's Journal that you are offering just the opportunity I am looking for.

  2 Your advertisement in this morning's Journal for an adjustment manager prompted me to apply for this position.

  C:

  1 Having read your advertisement in the New York Times for an accountant, I thought you might be interested in my application.

  2 In your advertisement for an accountant, you indicated that you require the services of a competent person, with thorough training in the field of cost accounting. Please consider me an applicant for the position. Here are my reasons for believing I am qualified for this work.

  二、在提到希望得到的待遇時,可用類似的句子:

  I'd prefer not to set a salary, but since you ask, I consider 6,500 a month to be satisfactory.

  It's hard for me to say what my salary should be set at, but if pressed I would have to ask for a month as an initial salary.

  I don't feel that I should set my own salary, as I am happy enough to have the privilege of working for you. However, I would consider a month satisfactory compensation for my apprenticeship.

  三、提起或要求待遇時不要過分謙虛或表示歉意,下列句子不宜使用:

  As for salary, I do not know what to say. Would $4,500 a month be too much?

  Do you think I would be asking too much if I said 5,000 dollars a month?

  You know what my services are worth better than I do. All I want is a living wage.

  四、關於求職信的結尾用語,下面也有三組例句。每一組裡面1句較差,經過修改後2句顯得比較恰當。

  A:

  1軟弱、羞怯的: If you think I can fill the position after you have read my letter, I shall be glad to talk with you.

  2改寫後較佳: If my qualifications meet your standards, I would be happy to speak with you in person.

  B:

  1懷疑,不妥、不安全的: If you are interested, please let me know immediately, as I'm sure an interview will convince you I'm the man for the job.

  2改寫後:I would like to request an interview. You can reach me by telephone at Beijing 123456 between the hours of 7-9 a.m. and 5:30-9:30p.m. any evening.

  C:

  1 哀求式的句子,不夠完整漏掉面談時間:I would appreciate the opportunity for an interview. I can be reached by calling Beijing 12345678.

  2 改寫後: May I have the opportunity to discuss this matter further with you? My telephone number is Beijing 12345678. You can reach me between nine and five o'clock during the day.
