Intensive Reading A job application letter's sole purpose is to get people to read your resume, and how you write it will be a direct reflection of how suitable you are for the job. An application letter should be brief, no more than one page in length. It should be easy to read and include only the necessary information. Here is a formula that works extremely well for preparing job application letters. It is outlined below. Addressing job application letters. ChineseChinesePara. 1-3 The style you choose is really a matter of personal preference, as there are many different styles to choose from. However, somewhere on the top, whether it is on the right- or left-hand side, you should have your address and the date. Then, on the left-hand side, you should include the name of the person you are writing to, his/her title, company name, address, and any position reference number. Ensure that you spell his/her name correctly--a mistake can give a poor first impression that will be difficult to remedy. Para. 4ChineseChinesePara. 5-8 The introductory paragraph After your opening salutation, the first paragraph should simply state why you are writing to him/her. If it is an advertised position, mention the position title and where it was advertised. If you are "cold calling" a company, then you should make it clear that you are applying for any current or future employment opportunities. An easy way to start this paragraph is with the following statement: "Please find enclosed my resume, which I am forwarding to you as an application for the position of..." ChineseChinesePara. 9&10 The main body The main body of the letter should be two to three paragraphs at most. Here is where you illustrate what you have to offer and why he/she should read your resume. Analyze your career and summarize it in a few sentences. It is important to be selective, highlighting things like what you specialize in, or how many years in the industry you might have. The first paragraph should direct the reader to your resume, pointing out some unique points that you might have. ChineseChinese A good way to start this paragraph is with a statement like, "You will see from my enclosed resume... ", and then go ahead and tell them something about your career that will immediately catch their interest. The next part of the body should be a brief description of your personal skills. It is a good idea to read the advertisement and use their specifications as a target. For example, if the company is asking for someone with good communication skills, then ensure you mention something to that effect. If it is perhaps leadership skills that are valued, then write about these. Use adjectives like "well developed" and "strong". Para. 11&12ChineseChinese The closing paragraph This is where you ask for an interview. You should also state where and how the employer can reach you, and express thanks for giving you the opportunity to apply. You can include things like, "Should you require further information..." Wrap up the letter by adding a closing remark, either "yours sincerely", "yours faithfully" or whatever you feel comfortable with, as long as it obeys the general principles of good letter-writing. Leave a few spaces for your signature, and then place your full name. Para. 13-15ChineseChinese Before you mail the application letter, read it over again, making sure that it is perfect. You have to ensure that the letter: 1. is not too long, 2. has no errors, 3. has responded to the job requirements, and 4. flows well and is easy to read. Para. 16ChineseChinese You may have to read and revise the letter many times before you are happy with it. However, when you finally send this letter, it will be an invitation for others to read more about you in your resume, and in turn, to secure an interview for you, hopefully. The interview, then, is where you can really get the position you've always wanted. Good luck! Para. 17ChineseChineseapplication: n. [C, U] 申请;申请书 经理收到很多求职申请书。
