英文簡(jiǎn)歷:如何寫好求職信

Poorly written cover letters are like letters without stamps – they won’t get you anywhere.

糟糕的求職信就像沒有郵票的信件——它們無法達(dá)到你的目的。

While there are no hard and fast rules about how to write cover letters there do are standard and generally accepted practices to write a notable cover letter.

雖然寫求職信沒有要嚴(yán)格遵守的規(guī)則，但一封拿得出手的求職信還是有些標(biāo)準(zhǔn)和套路的。

Firstly, it is important to remember that a cover letter is not a job application. It is short note that accompanies your resume or portfolio and should include:

首先，要記住求職信不是職位申請(qǐng)書，只是一篇和簡(jiǎn)歷及相關(guān)資料一起附上的小短文，所以信中應(yīng)該做到：

(1) A brief introduction about yourself

(1) 簡(jiǎn)短的自我介紹

(2) Give the hirer enough confidence to read further

(2) 讓招聘官有興趣讀下去

(3) Provide a call to action as to what you’d want to be done further – fixing an interview etc

(3) 留下聯(lián)系電話便于日后進(jìn)一步聯(lián)系——確定面試日期等等

Secondly, it is very important to tailor-make your cover letter as per the job. This means you will have to do some research on the company, address the letter to the concerned person (most preferably include their name) . This research can be easily and quickly done on the web.

第二，對(duì)每一份工作應(yīng)該量身打造求職信。這意味著你需要了解下公司背景，把信寄給相關(guān)人員(最好能寫上他們的名字)。公司相關(guān)資料在網(wǎng)上可以很方便找到。

Thirdly, it is imperative as well as logical to establish your expertise in the cover letter. Talk about your skills and show why & how you can be a good fit for the job. You can also mention how enthusiastic about the job position and how can fit the corporate culture perfectly.

第三，在求職信中體現(xiàn)你的專業(yè)技能是很合理而且相當(dāng)有必要的。談?wù)勀愕募寄懿⒄f出它們?yōu)槭裁匆约叭绾闻c目標(biāo)職位相關(guān)。你也可以提一下對(duì)職位的熱忱以及如何很好融入公司文化。

Last but not the least it is absolutely necessary never to write the same letter to another company. This can prove to be a greater waste of time on your part than the employers. In fact, writing a cover letter after doing your research and customizing it to fit the specific company can be the spark that gets the fire going. It is always a better idea to write bespoke cover letters to a select few companies (and wait for their response) than to write cover letters “in bulk” as they will hardly evoke a response.

最后很重要的一點(diǎn)，不要給不同公司寫相同內(nèi)容的求職信。你浪費(fèi)的時(shí)間將比那些看求職信的雇主更多。事實(shí)上，了解公司情況后再有針對(duì)性的寫求職信可以讓你更有機(jī)會(huì)。選定幾家公司，根據(jù)不同情況寫求職信，然后等待回復(fù)比“批量生產(chǎn)”好很多，因?yàn)楹笳邘缀跏链蠛！?/p>
