求職英語——英文Cover Letter的寫法

What should a cover letter include?

The easiest way to remember what you need in a cover letter is Who, What, Why and When . . .

Who Who are you writing to? If possible, get a name to address your letter to and try to find out something about the company. This will enable you to put in facts and information that are relevant to the company.

What What are you applying for? Begin by clearly stating the title of the job you are applying for. The company may have several positions so make it easy for them to see which one you're interested in. The easiest way to do this is with a sub-head in your letter like this:

     Dear Mrs Brown

       Re: Vacancy for Administration Assistant (Yorkshire Evening Post 13/4/00)

     Please find enclosed my CV in application for the above vacancy . . . . . . . .

Why Why are you interested in the vacancy - you like the sound of the job, you have heard good things about the company, you want somewhere that will train you for bigger things.

And why should they consider you - you have experience of similar work, you have good typing skills, you are organised, that sort of thing. At your stage, no-one expects you to have years of work experience, so use anything suitable. You could have done basic admin duties for a club or society, maybe you helped to organise a local event. Anything that shows you're suitable.

e.g. "you will note from my CV that my work for the local chess club has involved a range of administrative skills, which I feel would be very suitable for this role."

But be brief, they can get full details from your CV.

OK, you've got the skills mentioned, but why are you a better bet than anyone else? Got any awards from school or local clubs? Done any charity work? Got your name in the paper (for a good reason)? Brag about it. You want them to know you are an achiever, so don't be afraid to boast. But again, keep it brief and refer them to your CV for more information.

When Finally, let the company know when you are available for an interview and (if you're already working) how much notice you need to give your present employer. Finish by thanking the person for considering you and letting them know how and when they can contact you for more information.

And that's basically it. Easy really isn't it! But before you go rushing to the PC to start writing yourself onto the career ladder, there's just one or two more things to bear in mind.
