Cover Letter Tips

求职信技巧

Send a customized cover letter with each resume you send out.

每次发送简历都要加上一封定制的求职信。

Your cover letter may make the difference between obtaining a job interview and having your resume ignored. Even if an employer doesn't request a cover letter, it's helpful to send one.

求职信将决定你是能得到面试机会还是让你的简历被石沉大海。即使雇主没有要求求职信，附上一封也会有所帮助的。

Target your cover letter.

有的放矢地制作求职信。

Take the job posting and list the criteria the employer is looking for. Then list the skills and experience you have. Either address how your skills match the job in paragraph form or list the criteria and your qualifications.

将招聘广告上雇主想要招聘的职位和要求的相关技能列成一张清单。然后将你的经验和技能在另外一张清单上列出来。挑选一两点，分段阐述你的技能是如何符合该公司的职位要求的，或用一张清单来对比列出公司的标准和你的条件。

Don't rehash your resume.

不要在求职信中重复你的简历。

Your cover letter should complement, not duplicate your resume. Expand on your resume and highlight your background as it relates to the job.

求职信应该是简历的补充而不是复制。求职信应该是补充并突出简历上与工作相关的背景资料。

Write simply and clearly.

书写简单明了。

Get right to the point and write short, targeted letters. Each letter should be one page, or less. Each paragraph should contain three or four sentences, at most.

写求职信时要迅速切入重点，简明、并具有针对性。每封信长度都不应该超过一页。每段最多包括三到四句话。

Personalize your letter.

寄给特定的人。

If you can, address it to the individual responsible for hiring. If need be, research online or make a phone call to find out who the hiring manager is.

如果可以的话，将你的求职信发送给负责招聘的个人。有需要的话，可以在上网或打电话找到招聘经理的联系方式。

Use email for cover letters.

用邮件的形式发送求职信。

Keep them short and include in the email message. Don't send as an attachment unless the employer specifically requests one.

要保持简短，并将求职信包括在邮件信息中。除非雇主特别要求，否则不要以附件的形式发送。

Spell check and proofread.

拼写检查和校正。

Then ask someone else to read your correspondence before you send it. It's often easy not to notice mistakes in our own writing.

在发送之前让别人先阅读你的求职信。我们很难注意到自己犯的错误。

Review cover letter samples to get ideas for format and content for your letters.

参考求职信模板，从中得到制作你的求职信的格式和内容灵感。

Use examples as a starting point for creating your own library of job search correspondence.

以模板作为制作属于你的求职信的资源库。

Keep copies of all your cover letters, so you know what you sent to whom.

将所有求职信的备份，这样你对自己将求职信发送给谁了就能做到心中有数。
