寫求職信的目的在于獲得職位,一封求職信無論如何文辭并茂,令人心動,公司HR主管不見到應(yīng)聘者本人是不會給予工作機(jī)會的。因此,求職信的實(shí)際目的在于獲得面談的機(jī)會。許多人都會copy網(wǎng)上的求職信范本,導(dǎo)致千篇一律,這是非常不可取的。我們已經(jīng)講過怎樣寫求職信,這次我們來談?wù)勄舐毿艑懽髦腥菀妆缓雎缘募?xì)節(jié)問題。
一、求職信的第一段說明寫信的目的,有些專家認(rèn)為不宜用分詞句子,比如用下面的句子做開頭,因?yàn)檫@樣的句子被人用得大多,顯得陳腐,失去特點(diǎn)。
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。每一組里面(1)句較差,經(jīng)過修改后(2)句顯得比較恰當(dāng)。
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(shí),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(shí)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(guān)于求職信的結(jié)尾用語,下面也有三組例句。每一組里面(1)句較差,經(jīng)過修改后(2)句顯得比較恰當(dāng)。
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)改寫后(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)改寫后: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(shí)間):I would appreciate the opportunity for an
interview. I can be reached by calling Beijing 12345678.
(2) 改寫后: 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.
