求職信是求職者寫給用人單位的信,目的是讓對(duì)方了解自己、相信自己、錄用自己,它是一種私人對(duì)公并有求于公的信函。求職信的格式有一定的要求,內(nèi)容要求簡(jiǎn)練、明確,切忌模糊、籠統(tǒng)、面面俱到。
英文求職信的寫作內(nèi)容:
一、語言表達(dá)要簡(jiǎn)潔明了,避免使用太多的專業(yè)屬于和過分復(fù)雜的句子。
一方面用人單位不會(huì)在一份簡(jiǎn)歷上花費(fèi)太多的時(shí)間;另外一個(gè)方面,簡(jiǎn)潔的語言表述也能體現(xiàn)出你珍惜他人的時(shí)間。
二、在求職信的第一個(gè)段落當(dāng)中應(yīng)該明確的告訴對(duì)方你是在何家媒體看到應(yīng)聘廣告以及所要應(yīng)聘職位的名稱,
例如Your advertisement for (職位名稱)a Network Maintenance Engineer in (媒體名稱)the April 10 Student Daily interested me。這樣有助于對(duì)方了解招聘信息的有效傳播途徑。
三、語言客觀實(shí)際。
英文求職信中應(yīng)避免自己的主觀判斷性的語言和評(píng)論性的話語,不要過分渲染自我尤其不要說出與事實(shí)不符的能力或特性來。為了避免過多的主觀性描述,你可以在自己的簡(jiǎn)歷當(dāng)中用客觀的數(shù)字和引述別人的話語來描述自己的實(shí)際情況。
例如:I have passed CET-6 with a high mark of 96.
四、重視開頭、結(jié)尾。
在求職信的結(jié)尾,我們通常要提及關(guān)于希望得到面試的事情。因此,結(jié)尾一樣要引起重視。在表達(dá)自己的這樣的意愿的時(shí)候,切忌軟弱、羞怯的表達(dá)方式,例如:If you think I can fill the position after you have read my letter, I shall be glad to talk with you。
五、表現(xiàn)個(gè)人特色。
求職的信件要具個(gè)人特色、親切且能體現(xiàn)出專業(yè)水平。切不可過于隨意,也不能拘泥于格式--商業(yè)信函應(yīng)該是一種既正式、又非正式的文體。句子結(jié)構(gòu)和長(zhǎng)度應(yīng)富于變化,使閱信人總保持興趣。內(nèi)容、語氣、用詞的選擇和對(duì)希望的表達(dá)要積極,應(yīng)該充分顯示出你是一個(gè)樂觀、有責(zé)任心、有創(chuàng)造力和通情達(dá)理的人。
另外還有一些內(nèi)容雖然不屬于求職信的一部分,但是也不能忽視,比如紙張的選用,一般采用品質(zhì)優(yōu)良的A4打印紙,正文用打印機(jī)打印出來。信件的結(jié)尾處簽名必須是自己的手寫簽名。
另外,撰寫一封得體的求職信可能是你在準(zhǔn)備應(yīng)聘的過程中遇到的最棘手的問題。在求職的過程中,只有能體現(xiàn)個(gè)人才智的求職信,才能幫助你順利地謀求到一份理想的工作。你需要仔細(xì)考慮你所寫的求職信的目的,及其所可能產(chǎn)生的影響。信件要引起讀者的興趣,要反映出你的目的,要符合特定的環(huán)境要求。
Dear Dr. xxxx,
Mr.xxxx who has just returned to China from your university informed that you are considering the possibility of offering a Chinese language course to your students in the next academic year and may have an opening for a teacher of the Chinese language. I am very much interested in such a position.
I have been teaching Chinese literature and composition at college level since 1980. In the past three years, I have worked in summer programs, teaching the Chinese language and culture to students from English-speaking courtries. As a result, I got to know well the common problems of these students and how to adapt teaching to achieve the best results.
With years of intensive English training, I have no difficulty conducting classes in English and feel queit comfortable working with American students.
I will be available after February 1998.Please fell free to contact me if you wish more information. Thank you very much for your consideration and I look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely yours,
