求职信的细节问题
<P> 写求职信的目的在于获得职位，一封求职信无论如何文辞并茂，令人心动，公司HR主管不见到应聘者本人是不会给予工作机会的。因此，求职信的实际目的在于获得面谈的机会。许多人都会copy网上的求职信范本，导致千篇一律，这是非常不可取的。我们已经讲过怎样写求职信，这次我们来谈谈求职信写作中轻易被忽略的细节问题。 </P>
<P> 一、求职信的第一段说明写信的目的，有些专家认为不宜用分词句子，比如用下面的句子做开头，因为这样的句子被人用得大多，显得陈腐，失去特点。 </P>
<P> Replying to your advertisement...<BR> Answering your advertisement...<BR> Believing that there is an opportunity...<BR> Thinking that there is a vacancy in your company...<BR> Having read your ad... </P>
<P> 再比较下面三组例句。每一组里面(1)句较差，经过修改后(2)句显得比较恰当。 </P>
<P> A: <BR> (1) Replying to your recent advertisement in the Boston Evening Globe, I wish to apply for the position of sales manager.</P>
<P> (2) I am applying for the position of sales manager. I believe my qualifications will meet your exacting requirements. </P>
<P> B: <BR> (1) I believe after reading your advertisement in this morning's Journal that you are offering just the opportunity I am looking for. </P>
<P> (2) Your advertisement in this morning's Journal for an adjustment manager prompted me to apply for this position. </P>
<P> C: <BR> (1) Having read your advertisement in the New York Times for an accountant, I thought you might be interested in my application. </P>
<P> (2) 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. </P>
<P> 二、在提到希望得到的待遇时，可用类似的句子： </P>
<P> I'd prefer not to set a salary, but since you ask, I consider 6,500 a month to be satisfactory. </P>
<P> It's hard for me to say what my salary should be set at, but if pressed I would have to ask for a month as an initial salary. </P>
<P> I don't feel that I should set my own salary, as I am happy enough to have the privilege of working for you. However, I would consider a month satisfactory compensation for my apprenticeship. </P>
<P> 三、提起或要求待遇时不要过分谦虚或表示歉意，下列句子不宜使用： </P>
<P> As for salary, I do not know what to say. Would $4,500 a month be too much? </P>
<P> Do you think I would be asking too much if I said 5,000 dollars a month? </P>
<P> You know what my services are worth better than I do. All I want is a living wage. </P>
<P> 四、关于求职信的结尾用语，下面也有三组例句。每一组里面(1)句较差，经过修改后(2)句显得比较恰当。 </P>
<P> A: <BR> (1)软弱、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. </P>
<P> (2)改写后（较佳）： If my qualifications meet your standards, I would be happy to speak with you in person. </P>
<P> B:<BR> (1)怀疑，不妥、不安全的： If you are interested, please let me know immediately, as I'm sure an interview will convince you I'm the man for the job. </P>
<P> (2)改写后：I would like to request an interview. You can reach me by telephone at Beijing 123456 between the hours of 7-9 a.m. and 5:30-9:30p.m. any evening. </P>
<P> C: <BR> (1) 请求式的句子，不够完整（漏掉面谈时间）：I would appreciate the opportunity for an interview. I can be reached by calling Beijing 12345678. </P>
<P> (2) 改写后： May I have the opportunity to discuss this matter further with you? My telephone number is Beijing 12345678. You can reach me between nine and five o'clock during the day. <BR></P>
