寫英文求職信的要點(diǎn)
公司的老板大多認(rèn)為,注重小節(jié)的人對(duì)重大的事務(wù)也會(huì)謹(jǐn)慎行事。一個(gè)人做人做事是否謹(jǐn)慎可以從一封英文求職信中看出端倪來(lái)。你別看輕了短短的一封信,一封英文求職信可以顯露出一個(gè)人的嗜好、鑒別力、教育程度以及人格特性。下列幾個(gè)要點(diǎn)便是泄露一個(gè)人‘機(jī)密‘的地方。因此,寫信人非格外留意不可。
1. 紙張的選用:最好使用品質(zhì)優(yōu)良,白色的信紙。信封要配合信紙的質(zhì)料和顏色。
2. 書寫:求職者常需用親手寫信,字體要寫得清潔可辯,龍飛鳳舞的字跡無(wú)疑是自尋絕路。如果可能的話,使用打字機(jī)把信打出來(lái)。這樣看起來(lái)比較具有商業(yè)氣息。
3. 格式:信文要適當(dāng)?shù)嘏帕性谛偶堉,格式要一致,如采用齊頭式(或斜線式)便需全部一致,不可中途改變
4. 語(yǔ)法、標(biāo)點(diǎn)和拼寫:正確無(wú)誤的語(yǔ)法、標(biāo)點(diǎn)和拼寫使讀信人感到舒暢,錯(cuò)誤的語(yǔ)法或拼寫則十分明顯,一望即知,予人壞印象。尤其要注意的是,絕不可把收信人的姓名或公司名號(hào)拼錯(cuò)了。
5. 信封:信封上面的地址要完整,稱謂要合時(shí)宜,信紙的折疊要適當(dāng),大小適合信封。
6. 附件:英文求職信函通常不須附加推薦信,除非招聘廣告有此要求。遇到這種情形,只須附上復(fù)印件即可。求職函內(nèi)附加郵票或回址信封,強(qiáng)迫對(duì)方答覆的作法不足效法,除非對(duì)方有此要求。
信函的內(nèi)容
英文求職信函內(nèi)容應(yīng)包括那些?通常根據(jù)所欲謀求的工作性質(zhì)而定;旧,可以包括下列幾項(xiàng):
1. 寫這封信的目的或動(dòng)機(jī):通常英文求職信都是針對(duì)報(bào)紙上招聘廣告而寫的。若此,信中便須提到何月何日的報(bào)紙,有時(shí)‘工作機(jī)會(huì)‘是從朋友或介紹所(如青輔會(huì)就業(yè)輔導(dǎo)中心)聽來(lái)的,有時(shí)是寫信人不知某機(jī)構(gòu)、公司有工作機(jī)會(huì),毛遂自薦而寫的信,不論是哪一種,英文求職信上一定要說(shuō)明寫信的緣起和目的。
2. 個(gè)人資料:寫信人應(yīng)述明自己的年齡或出生年月,教育背景,尤其是和應(yīng)征的職位有關(guān)的訓(xùn)練或教育科目、工作經(jīng)驗(yàn)或特殊的技能;如無(wú)實(shí)際經(jīng)驗(yàn),略述在學(xué)類似經(jīng)驗(yàn)亦可。
3. 備詢?nèi)藛T或推薦人:正常的順序是先獲得這些人同意后再把他們的姓名、地址列入信中,推薦人二至三名即可。
4. 結(jié)尾:英文求職信的結(jié)尾在希望并請(qǐng)求未來(lái)的雇主允以面談的機(jī)會(huì),因此,信中要表明可以面談的時(shí)間。使用的句子要有特性、避免軟弱、老生常談的濫調(diào)。
機(jī)智和良好的判斷
寫英文求職信要有機(jī)智和良好的判斷,下列幾點(diǎn)可供參考。
1. 陳述事實(shí),避免表示意見:與訓(xùn)練和經(jīng)驗(yàn)有關(guān)的事實(shí)可以陳述出來(lái),但應(yīng)避免表示意見說(shuō)這些訓(xùn)練和經(jīng)驗(yàn)對(duì)所應(yīng)征的工作將有怎樣的關(guān)系或好處。
2. 不要批評(píng)他人:如果你要離開現(xiàn)職,可以說(shuō)出原因但不要用批評(píng)的方式,雇主想要了解你,而非你的工作機(jī)會(huì)。
3. 不要過份渲染自我:你當(dāng)然認(rèn)為有能力,夠資格才要申請(qǐng)某一職位,但不要過份夸大自己的能力或表現(xiàn)過份信心,尤其不要說(shuō)出與事實(shí)不符的能力或特性來(lái)。
4. 留意底薪:有的雇主要你提到希望的待遇。你要作良好的判斷,寫出你覺得可行的最低薪。開始就業(yè)的人應(yīng)知道,與其尋得一份高薪的工作倒不如找待遇尚可而有升遷機(jī)會(huì)的工作。
求職信英文
應(yīng)征函的第一段說(shuō)明寫信的緣起目的,有些專家認(rèn)為不宜用分詞子句,如下列各句作為第一句。因?yàn)檫@類句子被人用得大多,顯得陳腐,失去突出的特性。
Replying to your advertisement…… Answering your advertisement…… Believing that there is an opportunity…… Thinking that there is a vacancy in your company…… Having read your ad……
再比較下列三句。(a)句較差,經(jīng)過修改后(b)句顯得較恰當(dāng)。
1.(a)Replying to your recent advertisement in the Boston Evening Globe, I wish to apply for the position of sales manager……
。╞)In applying for the position of sales manager I offer my qualifications, which I believe will meet your exacting requirements.
2.(a)I believe after reading your advertisement in this morning‘s Journal that you have just the opportunity I am looking for.
(b)your advertisement in this morning‘s Journal for an adjustment manager prompts me to offer you my qualifications for this position
3.(a) Having read your advertisement in the New York Times for an accountant, I thought you might be interested in my application.
(b)In your advertisement for an accountant, you indicated that you require the services of a competent person, with thorough training in the field of cost accounting. Please consider me an applicant for the position. Here are my reasons for believing I am qualified for this work.
求職的人不得不提到希望待遇時(shí),可用類似的句子:
1.I hesitate to state a definite salary, but, as long as you have requested me to , I should consider 6,500 a month satisfactory. 我對(duì)待遇總是遲遲無(wú)法定個(gè)確切數(shù)目,但既然您要我說(shuō)明,我認(rèn)為月薪六千五百元就滿意了。
2. Although it is difficult for me to say what compensation I should deserve, I should consider-a month a fair initial salary. 雖然我很難說(shuō)待遇應(yīng)該是多少,我以為起薪每月--很合理。
3.I feel it is presumptuous of me to state what my salary should be. My first consideration is to satisfy you completely. However, while I am serving my apprenticeship, I should consider-a month satisfactory compensation. 余不敢冒昧說(shuō)出起薪多少。最初余僅想要如何工作得好,使您滿意。在學(xué)徒(試用)期間,月薪--即可。
提到待遇時(shí)不要過分謙虛或表示歉意,下列句子不宜使用。
1. As for salary, I do not know what to say. Would$4,500 a month be too much? 至于起薪,我不知怎么說(shuō),月薪四千五百元會(huì)不會(huì)太多?
2. Do you think I should be asking too much if I said 5000 dollars a month? 若要求月薪五千元,會(huì)不會(huì)太高?
3. You know what my services are worth better than I do . All I want is a living wage. 對(duì)敝人工作的價(jià)值您比我更清楚。我僅想夠糊口即可。
應(yīng)征函或自薦函的結(jié)尾用語(yǔ),試比較下列各句:
1.(a)軟弱、羞怯的: If you think I can fill the position after you have read my letter, I shall be glad to talk with you. 讀完此信后倘您認(rèn)為敝人可補(bǔ)缺,敝人愿和您一談。
(b)改寫后(較佳): If my application has convinced you of my ability to satisfy you, I should welcome the opportunity to talk with you, so that you may judge my personal qualifications further.
2.(a)懷疑,不妥、不安全的: If you‘re interested, let me know immediately, as I‘m sure and interview will convince you I‘m the man for the job. 倘貴公司有興趣,請(qǐng)即告知,敝人深信與您面談可以使您相信,敝人適合擔(dān)任此職。
。╞)改寫后: May I have an interview? You can reach me by telephone at Taipei 884525 between the hours of 7-9 a.m. and 5:30-9:30p.m. any evening. 可否賜予面談?您可在每天上午七至九時(shí),下午五時(shí)半至九時(shí)電884525號(hào)。
3.陳腐的句子: Hoping you will give me an interview, I am……(我希望您惠予面談) Anticipating a favorable decision, I wait your……(等候您的佳音) Trusting your reply will be satisfactory, I remain(靜候滿意的答復(fù))
4.哀求式的句子,不夠完整(漏掉面談時(shí)間): Won‘t you please give me the chance to interview your? I can be reached by calling Kenmore 69781. 懇請(qǐng)惠予面談。請(qǐng)打電話K-69781
。╞)改寫后: May I have the opportunity to discuss this matter further with you? My telephone is Kenmore 69781. You can reach me between nine and five o‘clock during the day. 可否惠予面談以便進(jìn)一步商討?我的電話是K-69781。我從上午九時(shí)到下午五時(shí)都可接通。
5.太過自信的句子: I am quite certain that an interview will substantiate my statements Between two and four every afternoon except Tuesday you can reach me by telephoning 731430. 我深信面談可以證實(shí)我的話。您可在每天下午二至四時(shí)(星期二例外)打731430號(hào)電話通知我。
6.較具體有效的句子。 May I have an interview? My residence telephone is (042) 4398. You reach me by calling that number until June 30. After July 2, my address will be Kent House, Bretton Woods, New Hampshire. 可否惠予面談?我住處電話為43981號(hào)。六月三十日以前我都在上址,七月二日以后,我的新址為新罕不夏州布列登林肯特屋。
應(yīng)征函的語(yǔ)氣
應(yīng)征函要發(fā)揮最大的效果,語(yǔ)氣必須肯定、自信、有創(chuàng)意而不過份夸張,如能事先洞察雇主的喜好,或其他人格特性,根據(jù)物以類聚的原理,應(yīng)征函若能配合雇主的特性,求職的人一定可以比其他人占上風(fēng),獲得面談的機(jī)會(huì)。 比較下列各句語(yǔ)氣上有何不同:
1.I think that I should probably make a good bookkeeper for you. 我想我可能成為貴公司的好簿記號(hào)。
2.I am confident that my experience and references will show you that I can fulfill the particular requirements of your bookkeeping position. 我想信我的經(jīng)驗(yàn)和推薦人可以告訴您,我能夠符合貴公司簿記員一職的特定需要。
3.I recently completed a course in filing at the Crosby School of Business. I am competent not only to install a filing system that will fulfill the needs of your organization, but I am also well qualified to operate it efficiently. 最近我在克洛斯比商業(yè)補(bǔ)習(xí)班讀完一門檔案處理的課程,我自信不僅可以設(shè)置一套檔案人類系統(tǒng)符合您的要求,而且可以有效地操作。
4.I feel quite certain that as a result of the course in filing which I completed at the Crosby School of Business, I can install and operate efficiently a filing system for your organization. 我相信在克洛斯比商業(yè)實(shí)習(xí)班修完一門課后,我能夠替貴公司設(shè)置并且操作一套檔案分類系統(tǒng)。
第一句顯得語(yǔ)氣太弱,寫信的人有點(diǎn)羞怯的樣子。第二句有特殊風(fēng)格,第三句太過自信,第四句,作者表示謙虛。
英文求職信如何寫出收信人的姓名?
英文求職信要寄給誰(shuí)?答案是視情況而定;蛟S最合適的對(duì)象是部門的主管。如果你不能確定該寄給誰(shuí),直接寄給最上位的人――這么做確實(shí)效果奇佳。你的信或許不會(huì)由總經(jīng)理或總裁閱讀,但至少會(huì)往下傳到其他高級(jí)主管的手下而不是送到人事部門,不管是哪位主管收到你的信,心理上或多或少會(huì)有壓力而認(rèn)為該好好地加以處理。
記得一定要寫出寫信人的姓名。如果你的收信人已決定是總經(jīng)理,信上就不應(yīng)該稱呼對(duì)方為“總經(jīng)理先生”,萬(wàn)一總經(jīng)理是女士,可能你先前的苦心都因此付諸東流了。況且,一封沒有標(biāo)上姓名的信,到底缺乏親切感,如果你無(wú)法從圖書館或其他資料來(lái)源得知對(duì)方的姓名,不妨直接打電話到該公司去問,這么做可以確保你的資料沒有太舊,運(yùn)氣好的話,你還可能得知高級(jí)主管而不是人事部門職員的姓名。
英文求職信的幾點(diǎn)注意事項(xiàng)
一封英文求職信和人的第一印象同樣重要,要怎樣填寫一封英文求職信,有下列事項(xiàng)你不得不注意..
1. 選擇信封、信紙
英文求職信的信封與信紙最好以清潔、大方、明朗為原則,顏色以白色和素色為最佳選擇。
2. 最好用打字的
打字是寫英文求職信最佳的選擇,如果真需要用手寫也必須用鋼筆和原子筆,藍(lán)色和黑色是最佳選擇。
3. 內(nèi)容簡(jiǎn)明、文筆順暢…
明扼要的內(nèi)容和通順流暢的文筆,是英文求職信必要的原件,但最重要的要素,還是以正確的文法表達(dá)出訊息,平實(shí)順暢地表達(dá)出來(lái)…
