英语求职信的细节问题

概要：写求职信的目的在于获得职位，一封求职信无论如何文辞并茂，令人心动，公司HR主管不见到应聘者本人是不会给予工作机会的。因此，求职信的实际目的在于获得面谈的机会。许多人都会copy网上的求职信范本，导致千篇一律，这是非常不可取的。我们已经讲过怎样写求职信，这次我们来谈谈求职信写作中容易被忽略的细节问题。一、求职信的第一段说明写信的目的，有些专家认为不宜用分词句子，比如用下面的句子做开头，因为这样的句子被人用得大多，显得陈腐，失去特点。Replyingtoyouradvertisement...Answeringyouradvertisement...Believingthatthereisanopportunity...Thinkingthatthereisavacancyinyourcompany...Havingreadyourad...再比较下面三组例句。每一组里面(1)句较差，经过修改后(2)句显得比较恰当。A:(1)ReplyingtoyourrecentadvertisementintheBostonEveningGlobe,Iwishtoapplyfort

写求职信的目的在于获得职位，一封求职信无论如何文辞并茂，令人心动，公司HR主管不见到应聘者本人是不会给予工作机会的。因此，求职信的实际目的在于获得面谈的机会。许多人都会copy网上的求职信范本，导致千篇一律，这是非常不可取的。我们已经讲过怎样写求职信，这次我们来谈谈求职信写作中容易被忽略的细节问题。

一、求职信的第一段说明写信的目的，有些专家认为不宜用分词句子，比如用下面的句子做开头，因为这样的句子被人用得大多，显得陈腐，失去特点。

Replyingtoyouradvertisement...
Answeringyouradvertisement...
Believingthatthereisanopportunity...
Thinkingthatthereisavacancyinyourcompany...
Havingreadyourad...

再比较下面三组例句。每一组里面(1)句较差，经过修改后(2)句显得比较恰当。

A:
(1)ReplyingtoyourrecentadvertisementintheBostonEveningGlobe,Iwishtoapplyforthepositionofsalesmanager.

(2)Iamapplyingforthepositionofsalesmanager.Ibelievemyqualificationswillmeetyourexactingrequirements.

B:
(1)Ibelieveafterreadingyouradvertisementinthismorning'sJournalthatyouareofferingjusttheopportunityIamlookingfor.

(2)Youradvertisementinthismorning'sJournalforanadjustmentmanagerpromptedmetoapplyforthisposition.

C:
(1)HavingreadyouradvertisementintheNewYorkTimesforanaccountant,Ithoughtyoumightbeinterestedinmyapplication.

(2)Inyouradvertisementforanaccountant,youindicatedthatyourequiretheservicesofacompetentperson,withthoroughtraininginthefieldofcostaccounting.Pleaseconsidermeanapplicantfortheposition.HerearemyreasonsforbelievingIamqualifiedforthiswork.

二、在提到希望得到的待遇时，可用类似的句子：

I'dprefernottosetasalary,butsinceyouask,Iconsider6,500amonthtobesatisfactory.

It'shardformetosaywhatmysalaryshouldbesetat,butifpressedIwouldhavetoaskforamonthasaninitialsalary.

Idon'tfeelthatIshouldsetmyownsalary,asIamhappyenoughtohavetheprivilegeofworkingforyou.However,Iwouldconsideramonthsatisfactorycompensationformyapprenticeship.

三、提起或要求待遇时不要过分谦虚或表示歉意，下列句子不宜使用：

Asforsalary,Idonotknowwhattosay.Would$4,500amonthbetoomuch?

DoyouthinkIwouldbeaskingtoomuchifIsaid5,000dollarsamonth?

YouknowwhatmyservicesareworthbetterthanIdo.AllIwantisalivingwage.

四、关于求职信的结尾用语，下面也有三组例句。每一组里面(1)句较差，经过修改后(2)句显得比较恰当。

A:
(1)软弱、羞怯的：IfyouthinkIcanfillthepositionafteryouhavereadmyletter,Ishallbegladtotalkwithyou.

(2)改写后（较佳）：Ifmyqualificationsmeetyourstandards,Iwouldbehappytospeakwithyouinperson.

B:
(1)怀疑，不妥、不安全的：Ifyouareinterested,pleaseletmeknowimmediately,asI'msureaninterviewwillconvinceyouI'mthemanforthejob.

(2)改写后：Iwouldliketorequestaninterview.YoucanreachmebytelephoneatBeijing123456betweenthehoursof7-9a.m.and5:30-9:30p.m.anyevening.

C:
(1)哀求式的句子，不够完整（漏掉面谈时间）：Iwouldappreciatetheopportunityforaninterview.IcanbereachedbycallingBeijing12345678.

(2)改写后：MayIhavetheopportunitytodiscussthismatterfurtherwithyou?MytelephonenumberisBeijing12345678.Youcanreachmebetweennineandfiveo'clockduringtheday.
