Whether you're submitting a resume cold or responding to a job posting, always include a cover letter. Yes, they're tedious to write, but a solid cover letter can make the difference between getting the job and getting nowhere.
不管你是遞簡歷還是回應一份招聘啟事,記得要加上一封求職信。是,這很沉悶,但是一封嚴肅的信會決定你得到工作還是一無所獲。
Address the Recruiter: Start your letter with the date. Skip two lines and write the recruiter's full name, preceded by Mr. or Ms. Then, list the recruiter's title and the company name and address. If you don't know the recruiter's name, simply list the company name and address.
寫給招聘員工:信件的開始寫上日期?諆尚袑懮险衅竼T工的全名,名字之前加上Mr.或者Ms。然后列出招聘員工的頭銜、公司名字和地址。如果你不知道招聘員工的名字,簡單的寫上公司名字和地址吧。
Say Hello: Two lines below the header, greet the recruiter with "Dear Mr." or "Ms.", followed by his/her last name and a colon. Don't use the first name, even if you've met the recruiter before; it's unprofessional to be immediately informal. If you don't know the recruiter's name, address the letter, "To Whom It May Concern."
打招呼:信頭寫完空兩行,即使你已經見過招聘員工,也要寫上“Dear Mr.”或者“Ms.”加上他或她的姓和一個冒號向他致意。一下子就變得很不正式會很不專業。如果你不知道招聘員工的名字,寫上“給相關負責人”。
Introduce Yourself: State your letter's purpose in the first paragraph. Tell the recruiter which position you're applying for and why it interests you. Briefly list your top qualifications. If you're responding to a job posting, mention where you saw it.
自我介紹:在第一段寫上這封信的目的。告知招聘員工你要申請哪個職位以及為什么你對這個職位感興趣。簡短的列出你的最高學歷。如果你對一份招聘啟事做出回應,要寫上你是在哪里看到它的。
Sell Yourself: The second paragraph is the most important: It's your sell. Summarize your credentials, but don't reiterate your resume. List your most relevant accomplishments from previous jobs, internships or volunteer work. Emphasize your qualifications for the job by highlighting applicable skills. If you're responding to an ad, you have an edge: You already know the job requirements. Make sure you address them.
推銷自己:第二段是最重要的:這是推銷自己的時候。簡短的說說你有什么證書,但是不要重述簡歷上的內容。列出你在之前的工作、實習或者志愿工作中取得過什么相關的重大成就。通過突出你的應用能力來強調你很適合這份工作。如果是回應招聘廣告,你就有一個優勢:你已經知道工作需求了,確保你對這些要求做出了說明。
Flatter Your Reader: The third paragraph should clarify why you want to work at this particular company. Explain why you and the company are a good fit. Show the recruiter that you've done your research. Mention a recent company event or express your interest in an aspect of the company that isn't widely known. Remember, everyone loves flattery, but don't go over the top.
取悅你的讀者:第三段應該闡明你為什么希望在這家特別的公司工作。解釋一下為什么你和公司很搭。讓招聘員工了解你已經做過調查研究。說說公司最近發生的一件事情或者表達出你對公司里并不廣為人知的一個方面的興趣。記。好總人都喜歡聽好話,但是,別做過頭。
Follow-Up: Your final paragraph should be only a few sentences. Thank the recruiter for reading your letter, then request an interview and provide your phone number. Or, be proactive and state that you'll call in a week to follow-up. Then do it.
結尾段:結尾段應該只有幾個句子。感謝招聘員工閱讀你的信,然后提出面試要求并留下你的電話號碼,或者主動點,說明一周內你會打電話跟進,然后記得去做。
