英文簡歷中Cover letter 寫作技巧
簡歷的首頁應(yīng)該是你的自我介紹，以及說明你是所應(yīng)聘公司職位最佳人選的有力論證。要
避免把你的首頁做成流傳的最普通的那種樣式。
When writing your cover letter, keep in mind that the reviewer is only interes
ted in one thing: the facts. Do not think of your cover letter as an autobiogr
aphy; it should be brief and to the point. The purpose of the cover letter (an
d resume) should be one thing – it should demonstrate that you meet or exceed
the requirements listed in the job description. It should demonstrate that yo
u're interested in the position, and that you're available to accept the posit
ion if offered. Additional information beyond this can be counterproductive, a
s it dilutes the core purpose of the cover letter.
在寫簡歷首頁的時候，一定要銘記在心，讀簡歷的人只注重一件事：事實。不要把簡歷首
頁認為是自傳書，它應(yīng)該是簡明扼要的。簡歷首頁（和簡歷）的目的是一樣的——證明你
能適應(yīng)或者勝任工作描述中的要求。還應(yīng)該表明你對這個職位很感興趣，并且你隨時都能
上任。超過這個范圍的附加信息只能讓人產(chǎn)生反感，而且它削弱了首頁的核心目的。
When writing the cover letter, avoid negatives. A cover letter is not the plac
e to explain why you left or are leaving an employer, why there are gaps in yo
ur employment dates, etc. These "negatives" are best delivered in person durin
g the interview so that your personality can counter them.
在寫首頁的時候，避免消極否定的表達。首頁不是你解釋為什么離開、將要離開某公司的
原因或者其他原因的地方。這些消極的方面最好在面試的時候面對面的交流，這樣你可以
酌情對待。
Try to avoid a salary history in the cover letter. Even if the position specif
ically asks for your salary history, providing this information will more like
ly cost you a job than not. If the job ad specifically says that resumes witho
ut a salary history will not be considered, give a historical salary range, an
d state that your salary requirements are flexible based on the opportunity th
e position will provide.
首頁要盡量避免以往薪金標準的問題。即使這個職位特別要求你注明以往的薪金數(shù)額，提
供相應(yīng)的信息可能更容易讓你失去這份工作。如果這個工作廣告特別說別不注明以往薪金
就不予考慮那么就給出一個范圍，并且注明你的薪金要求很靈活，以所提供的職位機會決
定。
Spend time thinking about the layout of your letter, and make sure that it's e
asy on the eyes. It should be easy to scan the letter, and have a logical prog
ression. Keep in mind, the reviewer of your cover letter and resume has hundre
ds (if not thousands) of cover letters and resumes to look at, so make it easy
for him/her to find the information you want to highlight. Bunched up text in
long paragraphs will frustrate anyone who has to review hundreds of resumes a
nd cover letters a week. In addition to the layout, don't just repeat your res
ume. Your cover letter is not a summary of your resume; instead, it's an intro
duction of yourself, and an argument for why you are the best candidate for th
eir company and the specific position. Above all, avoid the generic cover lett
er that you get from books.
花時間來考慮一下簡歷的版面，確信它看上去比較順眼。它應(yīng)該看上去很容易瀏覽，有一
個合理的主次關(guān)系。記住：看簡歷的人有上百份簡歷要看，所以一定要把你想要突出的內(nèi)
容做的讓他一眼就注意到。段落要簡短，長篇的內(nèi)容讓瀏覽者失去看的耐心，因為他們一
周要看上百份簡歷。另外，版面不要僅僅是重復(fù)簡歷的內(nèi)容。你的首頁不僅僅是簡歷的摘
要，相反，它是你的自我介紹，以及一份說明你是他們公司這個職位最佳人選的論證�？�
之，避免把你的首頁做成流傳的最普通的那種樣式。
Cover Letters are Necessary! Cover letters are simply a letter of introduction. In these letters you are explaining who you are and why you are writing to the resume reader. It is a matter of courtesy that you introduce yourself when you are requesting something of them, in this case an interview.
COVER LETTER是簡歷天然的伴侶。它給雇主一個快速的參考，尤其是你的簡歷是很通用的簡歷，沒有專門為申請的公司裁剪的時候，COVER LETTER 可以起很大的作用。
COVER LETTER主要覆蓋以下三個問題： "Who are you and where are you?" This should be stated in the first paragraph. "Where did you hear about me?" "What can you do for me? What can you provide relevant to the job?"
一般你可以通過INTERNET或其它途徑(newspapers and magazines, word -of-mouth or the public library. )查到公司的有關(guān)背景。你可以 略為寫一點，使雇主知道你不是隨意發(fā)出簡歷的。
簡歷按道理不應(yīng)該是通用的，但許多時候人們不愿意花更多的時間去準 備簡歷，有時候版本太多搞得人無從適應(yīng)。所以其實很多人總是用一份簡歷 來應(yīng)付眾多公司。但是，無論如何，COVER LETTER是不應(yīng)該寫成通用的，一 定要瞄準申請的公司來寫。
信上也可以寫上你最方便的電話號碼和撥打時間。一定要再三檢查雇主 的姓名和地址。COVER LETTER不能有任何拼寫錯誤和語法錯誤。 COVER LETTER例子：
Dear Ms. Rogers,
Please accept my application for the position of programmer, advertised in the Ottawa Citizen.
I have always enjoyed working on programming, and have developed many applications in various fields, such as telecommunication, transportation and POS management . I have worked as a senior developer at XYZ Software Inc. I gained a lot of experience there in MS C++ and Sy base SQL Server, which I think would be valuable to your company.
I am enclosing my resume, but would very much like to talk with you in person.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Yours truly,
Dashan Wang
What Instances Require a Cover Letter? My rule is - if you are not shaking hands with the hiring decision maker and introducing yourself, then you need a cover letter to introduce you. If you are shaking hands with the hiring manager, you are introducing yourself verbally and requesting an interview. In this case, hand them your resume without a cover letter. On the other hand, if you are sending a resume by mail, if you give your resume to a friend to hand in, or if you leave your resume with the hiring manager's secretary then you are not shaking the hiring manager's hand and you need to have a cover letter enclosed with your resume.
Cover Letters Should Be Brief and Simple Hiring managers only glance at cover letters. They have 50+ resumes to read out of which they will select a few candidates for interviews. I recommend letters be 3-4 paragraphs .
Many people provide lengthy autobiographies in the cover letter. They regurgitate their resume and then some. This is a waste the writer's and reader's time.
Cover Letter Content Address these 4 topics in a succinct manner and the hiring manager will be grateful. -For what position are you applying? -How did you learn of the position or company? -Why are you perfect for the position? -Who will contact who? I usually cover 1 & 2 in the first paragraph and a paragraph each for 3 & 4. Thank You Letter Follow up Letter Reference Letter Cover Letters are Necessary!
