Job Application

　　May 22nd

　　Dear Mr. Cavendish,

　　I saw your advertisement in the local paper this evening，and I wonder if you would consider me for a job as a waiter this summer.

　　I am seventeen years old and at present I am studying English and economics. When I leave school, I hope to take a course in hotel management. During the school holidays last summer, I worked as a waiter at the Central Hotel. The headwaiter there, Mr. Macintosh, will be pleased to send you a recommendation for me.

　　I would prefer to work in your hotel in Filey because it is near my home. However, if there isn’t any job there for me, perhaps you could consider me for the Scarborough Hotel.

　　I would be pleased if you will send me information about the pay and conditions of the job to be offered. I will be free to begin work in the fourth week of July when the school holidays start.

　　Yours sincerely,

　　Peter Tuck

　　行文點評

　　這是一封典型的英文求職信。第一段開門見山，表明寫信的目的是求職。同時，也注明了消息和應聘職位。第二段開始介紹求職者的情況，(注意：所寫的情況最好能體現(xiàn)出你十分適合所應聘的職位)。信中第三段特別陳述了一個不情之請并說明原因。最后一段表明自己希望得到回復，并說明自己可以開始工作的具體時間。

　　這封信符合求職信的結構要求，語言簡潔，語氣禮貌大方。
