A Cover Letter |求职信

求职信

提示

　　许多人在求职时，常会面临不知该如何下笔将自身优点介绍给企业主的问题，反而写了一堆无关紧要的流水账。根据人力银行调查，企业主平均看一封履历只花『34秒』，所以除了本身优秀的才能及背景之外，如何写出一封简洁并吸引人目光的求职信更是目前众多求职者的课题。请写一封文长至少 120 个单词（words）的求职信给面试的人事主管，第一段简洁地介绍自己和过去的工作经验，第二段则写出为什么自己适合这份工作。信末英文署名请假设自己为 Trevor 或 Lucy。

写作格式

   1. 日期（date）──如 October 1, 2012（美式写法）或 1 October 2012（英式写法）。

   2. 收信人称谓（salutation）──如 Dear Mr. Smith,、Dear Ms. Chou,，或 To whom it may concern:（敬启者）。

   3. 信件主体（body of the letter）──通常一般信件仍采用内缩式，商业书信多用齐头式。可在进入信的主题前加一些问候语（问候近况、询问健康，表思念对方等）。

   4. 结尾敬语（complimentary close）──如 Sincerely,、Yours truly,、Best regards,等。

   5. 签名（signature）──如 Peter Lin（应亲笔签名）。

动动脑（Brainstorming）

利用 2 W (Why and Who) + 1 H (How)

第一段  a. Why am I applying for this job?

b. Who am I?

第二段  a. How can I help your company?

b. Why should you hire me?

结论句  I hope to show you in person that I am very well suited for this position.
