职信是大学生步入社会、走向工作岗位的第一步,了解求职信的写法具有实际意义。那么,如何用地道流利的英语写好一份求职信呢?
关键要处理好求职信的五个组成部分:写信动机、自我介绍、本人能力、结尾、附件。
一、写信动机
通常求职信是针对报纸上招聘广告而写的。若此,信中须提到何月何日的报纸,有时工作机会是从朋友或介绍所听来的,有时写信人不知某机构、公司有工作机会,毛遂自荐。不论哪一种,求职信上一定要说明写信的缘由和目的。
因此首先应该表明你是在何家媒体看到应聘广告以及所要应聘的职位。参考例句:
1.Inreplytoyouradvertisementintoday'snewspaper,Irespectfullyoffermyservicesforthesituation.拜读今日XX报上贵公司的广告,本人特此备函应征该职位。
2.Replyingtoyouradvertisementinto-day'sissueofthe(newspaper),Iwishtoapplyforthepositioninyouresteemedfirm.拜读贵公司在今日(报纸)上广告,特此备函应征贵公司该职位。
3.Withreferencetoyouradvertisementin(newspaper)ofMay2foraclerk,Ioffermyselfforthepost.从五月二日XX报上广告栏得知贵公司招聘一位职员,我愿应招。
4.Iwishtoapplyforthepositionadvertisedintheenclosedclippingfromthe(newspaper)ofNovember12.谨随函附上十一月十二日XX报贵公司招聘广告,我愿应招此职位。
二、自我介绍
写信人应述明自己的年龄或出生年月、教育背景,尤其与应征职位有关的训练或教育科目、工作经验或特殊技能。如无实际经验,略述在学类似经验亦可。参考例句:
1.Forthepastthreeyears,IhavebeenintheofficeoftheXXTradingCo.,whereIhavebeenanaccountant.本人曾经在XX贸易公司服务三年,担任会计工作。
2.Iamtwentyyearsofage,andhavebeenemployedforthelasttwoyearsbytheXXCo.,inthegeneralclericalworkoftheoffice.我今年2岁,曾在XX公司服务两年,担任一般文员工作。
3.Iamtwentyyearsofage,andamanxioustosettledowntoofficework.本人2岁,希望能找到一个公司,以便安定下来。
4.Sincemygraduationfromtheschooltwoyearsago,IhavebeenemployedinXXHotelasacashier.两年前离校后,在XX酒店担任出纳员。
