Cover Letter Tips
求職信技巧
Send a customized cover letter with each resume you send out.
每次發(fā)送簡歷都要加上一封定制的求職信。
Your cover letter may make the difference between obtaining a job interview and having your resume ignored. Even if an employer doesn’t request a cover letter, it’s helpful to send one.
求職信將決定你是能得到面試機(jī)會還是讓你的簡歷被石沉大海。即使雇主沒有要求求職信，附上一封也會有所幫助的。
Target your cover letter.
有的放矢地制作求職信。
Take the job posting and list the criteria the employer is looking for. Then list the skills and experience you have. Either address how your skills match the job in paragraph form or list the criteria and your qualifications.
將招聘廣告上雇主想要招聘的職位和要求的相關(guān)技能列成一張清單。然后將你的經(jīng)驗(yàn)和技能在另外一張清單上列出來。挑選一兩點(diǎn)，分段闡述你的技能是如何符合該公司的職位要求的，或用一張清單來對比列出公司的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)和你的條件。
Don’t rehash your resume.
不要在求職信中重復(fù)你的簡歷。
Your cover letter should complement, not duplicate your resume. Expand on your resume and highlight your background as it relates to the job.
求職信應(yīng)該是簡歷的補(bǔ)充而不是復(fù)制。求職信應(yīng)該是補(bǔ)充并突出簡歷上與工作相關(guān)的背景資料。
Write simply and clearly.
書寫簡單明了。
Get right to the point and write short, targeted letters. Each letter should be one page, or less. Each paragraph should contain three or four sentences, at most.
寫求職信時要迅速切入重點(diǎn)，簡明、并具有針對性。每封信長度都不應(yīng)該超過一頁。每段最多包括三到四句話。
Personalize your letter.
寄給特定的人。
If you can, address it to the individual responsible for hiring. If need be, research online or make a phone call to find out who the hiring manager is.
如果可以的話，將你的求職信發(fā)送給負(fù)責(zé)招聘的個人。有需要的話，可以在上網(wǎng)或打電話找到招聘經(jīng)理的聯(lián)系方式。
Use email for cover letters.
用郵件的形式發(fā)送求職信。
Keep them short and include in the email message. Don’t send as an attachment unless the employer specifically requests one.
要保持簡短，并將求職信包括在郵件信息中。除非雇主特別要求，否則不要以附件的形式發(fā)送。
Spell check and proofread.
拼寫檢查和校正。
Then ask someone else to read your correspondence before you send it. It’s often easy not to notice mistakes in our own writing.
在發(fā)送之前讓別人先閱讀你的求職信。我們很難注意到自己犯的錯誤。
Review cover letter samples to get ideas for format and content for your letters.
參考求職信模板，從中得到制作你的求職信的格式和內(nèi)容靈感。
Use examples as a starting point for creating your own library of job search correspondence.
以模板作為制作屬于你的求職信的資源庫。
Keep copies of all your cover letters, so you know what you sent to whom.
將所有求職信的備份，這樣你對自己將求職信發(fā)送給誰了就能做到心中有數(shù)。
