求职信的10个注意事项
If you're replying to an advertised opening, reference the specific job title in your cover letter. The person reading your letter may be reviewing hundreds of letters for dozens of different jobs. Make sure all the content in your letter supports how you will meet the employer's specific needs.
错误6模糊不清
如果你回复一个广告职位,在求职信中引用特定的职称。看你求职信的人可能看了许多应聘不同职位的求职信。确保求职信的所有内容都支持说明你如何满足雇主的具体需求。
Mistake 7: Forgetting to Customize
If you're applying to a number of similar positions, chances are you're tweaking one letter and using it for multiple openings. That's fine, as long as you customize each letter. Don't forget to update the company, job and contact information -- if Mr. Jones is addressed as Mrs. Smith, he won't be impressed.
错误7 忘记定制
如果你应聘许多类似的职位,你很有可能对一封求职信稍作调整应用到各个职位中去。只要你为每个职位量身定做一封求职信,那就没问题。不要忘记更新公司、工作和联系信息——如果琼斯先生被称为史密斯太太,那么他不会对你留下印象。
Mistake 8: Ending on a Passive Note
When possible, put your future in your own hands with a promise to follow up. Instead of asking readers to call you, try a statement like this: I will follow up with you in a few days to answer any preliminary questions you may have. In the meantime, you may reach me at (555) 555-5555.
错误8 用被动的提示结尾
如果可以,下定决心坚持实现理想,让未来掌握在自己手上。不是要求雇主打电话给你,而是试着这样说:我会在最近几天跟你保持联系回答你的任何初步问题。期间,你可以打这个电话跟我联系(555) 555-5555。
Mistake 9: Being Rude
Your cover letter should thank the reader for his time and consideration.
错误9 粗鲁
求职信应该感谢雇主的时间安排和考虑。
Mistake 10: Forgetting to Sign the Letter
It is proper business etiquette (and shows attention to detail) to sign your letter. However, if you are sending your cover letter and resume via email or the Web, a signature isn't necessary.
错误10 忘记签名
签名是正确商务礼仪(并吸引对细节的关注)。然而,如果你是通过邮件或网站发送你的求职信,就不需要签名。
