履历表及求职信的撰写(4)
三、注意事项
1、每封信应原版打字打印,不可以影印本代替。
2、所有寄出去的信都应保留影本,以备查阅并回函。
3、纸张以白色及淡白色为主,三折放入9-10吋大之信封内。
4、信末一定要记得签名,工作性质不同之信最好分别撰写,不要以通稿代之。但若性质雷同之工作,以同内容之信分寄不同公司时,应仔细核对信首、信中及信封提到公司名称时皆完全一致,免得张冠李戴,错误百出。
5、用语简洁,避免陈腔滥调及空泛含糊的字句,语气力求平实不花俏,同时每段起首避免以主词 "I"开头,字里行间充满自信,但不夸大。
6、寄信时,避免在收信人于星期一或星期五收到,若有截止日期或是应征报纸广告上之工作者,则愈早寄愈好,免得人选补齐后,不再录用。
7、求职数据寄出后,尽管文情并茂,颇具说服力,但也不能保证一定有面谈机会。不过当寄出后二周内仍未收到回音,则不妨去电询问应征结果,以示对此事之重视及态度之积极。
