Covering letters: the beginning, core and ending

求職信：開頭、正文及結(jié)尾

When you write a covering letter it is important to have a structure. A typical structure would have four paragraphs and should answer four “W” questions: What job are you applying for? Why do you want to work in this sector and organisation? What are you offering? When are you available for interview?

求職信的結(jié)構(gòu)非常重要。經(jīng)典結(jié)構(gòu)是有四大段的，必須回答4個什么：申請什么職位？為什么要申請這個部門組織？你可以為公司做什么？什么時候可以接受面試？

In your first paragraph you should state the job you are applying for and where you found it. Companies like to know which of their advertising sources is successful, so tell them if you found it online, through a newspaper or from another source. You should also inform them of when you are available to start.

第一段需要說明你申請的職位以及求職信息的來源。公司想要知道他們哪條廣告是有效果的，所以請告知他們你是在網(wǎng)上，還是報紙，或者其他途徑看到招聘信息的。你還需要告知可以接受面試的時間。

In the second paragraph tell them why you are interested in that type of work and why the company attracts you. If, for example, it is a small company say you prefer to work for a small, friendly organisation.

第二段需要告知你對這份工作的興趣點在哪里，以及對方公司吸引你的原因。例如，對方是家小公司，你就說你喜歡在一家小的、比較友善的公司工作。

Summarise your strengths in the third paragraph and state why they would be an advantage in the job. You should match and relate your skills to the competencies that are required for the job.

在第三段總結(jié)自己的優(yōu)勢，并簡單得解釋為什么這些優(yōu)點將會成為工作上的優(yōu)勢。你必須將你的技能和職位的能力要求相關(guān)聯(lián)、相匹配。

In the final paragraph mention any dates that you won’t be available for an interview and remember to thank the employer and say you look forward to hearing from them.

最后一段要指出不能參加面試的時間，并對雇主表示感謝，期望從他們那里得到回復(fù)。

You should use only one side of A4 paper and use the same font as you used in your CV.

求職信只要占用A4紙的一面即可，并使用與你的簡歷相同的字體。 When you start the letter, try to personalise it by finding out the name of the person to write to. One statistic states that a covering letter and CV

addressed to the correct person are 15% more likely to receive a reply and 5% more likely to get an interview. Remember when you start with a specific name, e.g. “Dear Mr. Jones”, you should end with “Yours sincerely”. If you can’t find the name and have to start “Dear Sir or Madam”, end your letter with “Yours faithfully”.

在開始寫信時，盡可能找出收信人的信息。據(jù)調(diào)查表明，給特定的人發(fā)求職信和簡歷可以收到高15%的回復(fù)以及高5%的面試機會。記住當(dāng)你以特定稱呼開頭時，例如“Dear Mr. Jones”，必須以“Yours sincerely”結(jié)尾。當(dāng)你找不到特定收件人時，只能以“Dear Sir or Madam”開頭，必須以“Yours faithfully”結(jié)尾。

Here are some examples of popular ways to start a covering letter:

以下有幾個比較好的求職信的開頭：

My name is ______ and I am writing in response to your advertisement 我的名字是______。我是看到貴公司的廣告后準(zhǔn)備投的簡歷。

I am writing in response to your advertisement in/for

我寫這封信是為了申請廣告中的職位。

Further to your advertisement in______, I should like to apply for

我想投遞貴公司______廣告中的職位。

I am writing to enquire if you have any vacancies for_____

我想問下貴公司______職位是否有空缺。

As you will see from CV

正如你從簡歷中所看到的

Power words are key words and phrases that you should try to use during the core part of your cover letter; paragraphs two and three. They will give your letter more impact; think about how you could use words like these:
