給外企寫英文求職信的技巧
對于外企公司來說,最好也準備一封英文的求職信。不過這英文信該怎么寫?下面是應屆畢業(yè)生小編收集整理好的給外企寫英文求職信的技巧 ,我們一起來看看吧!
1. Length: A letter of application should be no more than one page long.
或許你會覺得越全面地向HR展示自己越好,寫起求職信就像寫自傳一樣,這其實是最令人頭疼的。誰會想在忙碌的時候靜下心來閱讀一份很長很長很長的信?HR多半會直接選擇把這封信跳過。
2. Format: A letter of application should be single-spaced with a space between each paragraph. Use about 1" margins and align your text to the left, which is the standard alignment for most documents.
就好像上面說的一樣,密密麻麻的字讓人看了就煩心,所以求職信一定要最求干凈、簡潔,讓人一目了然,順暢閱讀。
3. Font: Use a traditional font such as Times New Roman, Arial, or Calibri. The font size should be between 10 and 12 points.
求職信不需要花哨,使用三種英文標準字體均可,就好像中文一般都會用宋體或微軟雅黑一樣,看著也會比較舒服。也不要把字體弄太大,這樣看起來不會醒目多少,卻會難看許多。
4. Header: A letter of application should begin with both you and the employer's contact information (name, address, phone number, email) followed by the date. If this is an email rather than an actual letter, include your contact information at the end of the letter, after your signature.
寫英文信件時最需要注意的是中英文信件的格式不同。另外,稱呼老外時需要使用“稱謂+姓氏”的`格式,比如“Dear Mr./Ms. Last Name.”,Mr和Ms后面可別寫名字了。如果你不知道對方叫什么,可以用“Dear Hiring Manager.”的說法來代替。
5. Introduction: Begin by stating what job you are applying for. Explain where you heard about the job, particularly if you heard about it from a contact associated with the company. Briefly mention how your skills and experience match the company and/or position; this will give the employer a preview of the rest of your letter.
自我介紹是正文開頭必不可少的,也是禮貌的一種體現(xiàn)。不過就像華生提醒過的那樣,千萬不要長篇累牘地寫“自傳”,要抓住自己學習和職業(yè)生涯中的精彩亮點簡明扼要地寫。
6. Body: In a paragraph or two, explain why you are interested in the job and why you make an excellent candidate for the position. Mention specific qualifications listed in the job posting, and explain how you meet those qualifications. Do not simply restate your resume, but provide specific examples that demonstrate your abilities. You can either write about these specific examples in complete sentences or in a bulleted format.
做過自我介紹后就有理由向HR證明為何你是“最適合”該崗位的人。將對方的要求羅列出來,再將你的亮點與之對應。這是一封求職信中最為重要的部分,能不能打動HR就看你的工作能力和語言表達能力了。
7. Closing: Restate how your skills make you a strong fit for the company and/or position. State that you would like to interview and/or discuss employment opportunities. Explain what you will do to follow up, and when you will do it. Thank the employer for his/her consideration.
最后需要把前面的話都簡單概括一下,也別忘記向HR表示謝意,感謝他百忙之中看完了你的求職信(其實從某方面說這是應該的……),因為大部分求職信在HR看到一半的時候就丟了。
8. Signature: End with your signature, handwritten, followed by your typed name. If this is an email, simply include your typed name, followed by your contact information.
千萬記得留下自己的聯(lián)系方式。雖然HR可以通過其他方法查到這些信息,但是如果HR在一瞬間對你“動了心”,又馬上有辦法聯(lián)系你的話,一切就如同趁熱打鐵一樣恰到好處。從某種程度說,對待HR就像是對待“顧客”一樣,需要設想周到,給對方提供最好的“服務體驗”。
9. Proof and Edit Your Letter: Remember to proof and edit your letter before sending it. It may sound silly, but also be sure to include the correct employer and company names - when you write many letters of application at once, it is easy to make a mistake.
千萬別一寫完就立刻覺得大功告成然后發(fā)出去了。打個比方,你應聘某個廣告公司的文案,卻在求職信里寫出各種病句錯字,對方看到的話肯定會質(zhì)疑你的專業(yè)水平。就算你不是文字工作者,在求職信的表述和用詞方面再精雕細琢一下是不會錯的。要知道,對很多企業(yè)來說你的求職信只有一次被閱讀的機會。
