英语职信上别出现的10句话

第一 写好英文求职信的开 头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职位的名称，如： (1)In answer to your advertisement in(媒体名称，括号里只要按照实际情况 填写，下同) for(职位名称),I wish to tender my services.(2)With reference to your advertisement in( 媒体名 称)for(职位名称),I respectfully offer myself for the post.

第二 求职信中的自我介绍通常在这段里介绍你的工作经验， 特别需要注意的是，和所应聘工作无 关的经历就不要赘述了，如：(1)I have been serving for over( 数 字)years in(以前供职单位).(2)I have had(数字)years‘experience with(以前供职单位)as a(以前职务).

第三 如何在英文求职信中证明能力这部分非重重要，因为这体现你 究竟能为公司做些什么，直接关系到 求职的成功率，但是也要注意一定要 用最少的文字表达最多的意思。还是 那句话，和所应聘职位无关的能力 (包括证书、资格等),也应该坚决 予以剔除

此如：(1)I have received a special English education(你的专业),and have a fair command of Japanese (你 的副业).In addition, I know a little French.(2)During my education, I have grasped the principals of my major and skills of practice. Not only have I passed TEM-8(你所通过的 水平测试或其它职业技能考核),but more important I can communicate with others freely in English (你个 人的能力，尤其是强项).My ability to write and speak English is out of question.

第四 英文求职信的结尾成功的求职信决不是虎头蛇尾的，往往会 在此提及关于希望得到面试的事情。因此， 结尾一样要引起重视，如：(1)I should be glad to have a personal interview and can furnish references if desired. (2)I should appreciate the privilege of an interview. I may be reached by letter at the address given below(如 这样使用的话，就要在后面附上你的联系 地址),or by telephone at 88888888 (你的电话号码)

英语职信上别出现的10句话"I meet the requirements for the position."1.

Hundreds of candidates will meet the requirements for the position. That's not enough to get you a second look. You want to explain why you're an excellent candidate, not just an adequate one.

"I'm hard-working and a great communicator."2. And probably a team player and an independent self-starter, too. These are cliches that cause hiring managers' eyes to glaze over. Worse, they don't convey anything of substance—the fact that you've assessed yourself as these things will hold no weight whatsoever with employers, who prefer to assess these things for themselves.

3.

"I'm a visionary

leader."

But not very humble, apparently. If you're truly a visionary leader— or a master communicator, or whatever other brag you're tempted to make—it should be evident from the accomplishments you've listed on your resume. Proclaiming this about yourself comes across as, well, weird.

4. "You won't find a candidate better qualified than me."Unless you've seen the rest of the candidate pool, you have no way of knowing that. This comes off as needlessly cocky hyperbole—and it's generally inaccurate, to boot. If you're really stunningly qualified, the hiring manager should be able to spot that on her own. Simply proclaiming it, especially when you have no basis to know if it's true, doesn't reflect well on you.

5.

"Dear sir or madam."

In most industries, this will come across as an antiquated, stuffy salutation. If you know the hiring manager's name, use that instead, but if not, simply writing "dear hiring manager" is fine, and won't make you appear as if you come from an earlier century.

6.

"I'll call you in a week to schedule an interview."Job seekers can't unilaterally decide to schedule an interview, and inappropriately pushy to pretend otherwise. Some people believe that asserting themselves like this will demonstrate persistence and good salesmanship, but in reality, it just annoys hiring managers.

7. "I'm willing to work for below the salary you're offering."Candidates who write this generally are hoping that it will get them an interview when their qualifications alone wouldn't have. But it doesn't work, because hiring managers want to hire the best person for the job, have budgeted a certain amount for the position, and aren't going to take a weaker candidate just because she offers to work for less than the budgeted salary.

8. "I've attached my college transcripts, a list of references, a 15-page writing sample, and my last performance review."Unless the job posting specifically asked for these items, don't include them. At this stage, employers just want a resume and a cover letter. Don't overwhelm them with items they haven't asked for and might not want. Wait until you've progressed further in the process, and then ASK if they'd like these items.

9. "Please contact me if you'd like to see my resume."Job seekers occasionally send a letter of interest in a job without including a resume, to the great mystification of hiring managers everywhere. If you're writing to a company about potential work, you must include your resume. It's the first thing an employer will want to see, and they have no way of knowing if you're someone they'd like to speak further with without first seeing that.
