What Makes a Good Cover
Letter?
如何写好英文求职信？
准备好一份英文简历后，先别着急草草把它寄走了事。简历上通常还需再附上一封求职信(Cover Letter)。招聘广告上虽然一般不会对此做出要求，但是这封求职信能使人看出你对这份工作的重视和诚意。它为你提供一个机会强调你自身的特长以及你对未来的职位所可能做出的贡献。写求职信则要注意以下几点：
1．
1.注意英文书信的格式。商业书信的格式一般为写信人的地址在右上角；日期及收信人的地址在左上角，
但在写信人的地址之下，而电脑格式中也可采用全部靠左的格式。信末可用Yours faithfully (or
sincerely)
等友好的短语，然后在打印出来的你的名字上方签上你的名字。
2．
2.避免出现拼写或语法错误，一个错误都不行。
3．
3.对收信人有正确的称呼。如果能了解到谁将是读信的人最好，如果不了解的话对招聘单位的名称也要写
清楚。求职信不能给人留下批量生产，随处散发的印象，要让人觉得是为了这份工作而专门写的。
4．
4.信中应显示出你本人对该招聘单位，对该行业及该职位有相当的了解。
5．
5.尽量用自己的话来写，语气诚恳，实事求是。辞藻华丽，夸张其词都是不可取的；更不能有明显的抄袭
痕迹。

Lucille Craft
Account Director
Joyhut Advertising
1 Madison Avenue
NY, NY 10005
Dear
Lucille:
I
would like to express my interest in Joyhut Advertising and the
available Account Executive position described on your agency's
web site.
After
four years at Stanford University, where I majored in English
and wrote for the school paper, I leapt into the competitive world
of advertising at Olf and Oleman Worldwide in San Francisco. For
the past year I have served a valuable apprenticeship in the advertising
industry, working as an assistant account executive on the Harbinger
Sporting Goods account.
During
my time on the Harbinger account, the company's advertising spending
has increased by two million dollars, and I have progressed from
having very little client contact to interfacing with the client-side
on a regular basis.
Since
my introduction to the world of advertising, it has been my goal
to work on Madison Avenue. I would very much like to discuss the
open position. Thank you for your time spent reading this letter
and the enclosed resume. I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Sincerely,
(your signature)

Dear Sir/Madam:
Leadership, strategic planning, market analysis,
marketing, and business development skills are inherent traits
that are fine-tuned through hands-on experience. For the past
nine years, I have been using my business talents to help small
business owners with marketing, labor issues, and legislative
affairs.
As you will notice in the enclosed resume? I
have an extensive business development, marketing, and advertising
background. I am currently the director of a destination marketing
organization located in Manitou Springs. The advertising agency
I operate provides media buying services, printing, creative services,
and marketing research programs. The Internet service provider
program I started has led to the development of a web site with
more than 5 million visitors in 1997,and the traffic is growing.
From 1998 to date, the site has had nearly 8 million visitors.
Nearly $500,000 in sales was attributed to the web site 1997.
We tracked a $115 ROI for every dollar spent by our clients since
1994.
My diverse business experience has helped me
develop strong skills in verbal presentations, meeting planning,
financial management, community relations, data analysis, and
special events. As with all successful small businesspeople, I
can be "the chief cook and bottle washer."
I would welcome the opportunity to discuss how
my skills would benefit your organization. You can reach me to
schedule a personal interview by calling after 6:30 PM or by e-mail.
I look forward to hearing from you in the near future. Thank you
for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Kitty Kocher
