英文求职信写作中常见语句问题

写求职信的目的在于获得职位，一封求职信无论如何文辞并茂，令人心动，公司HR主管不见到应聘者本人是不会给予工作机会的。因此，求职信的实际目的在于获得面谈的机会。许多人都会copy网上的求职信范本，导致千篇一律，这是非常不可取的。我们已经讲过怎样写求职信，这次我们来谈谈求职信写作中容易被忽略的细节问题。

一、求职信的第一段说明写信的目的，有些专家认为不宜用分词句子，比如用下面的句子做开头，因为这样的句子被人用得大多，显得陈腐，失去特点。

Replyingtoyouradvertisement...

Answeringyouradvertisement...

Believingthatthereisanopportunity...

Thinkingthatthereisavacancyinyourpany...

Havingreadyourad...

再比较下面三组例句。每一组里面(1)句较差，经过修改后(2)句显得比较恰当。

A:

(1)ReplyingtoyourrecentadvertisementintheBostonEveningGlobe,Iw ishtoapplyforthepositionofsalesmanager.

(2)Iamapplyingforthepositionofsalesmanager.Ibelievemyqualificatio nswillmeetyourexactingrequirements.

B:

(1)Ibelieveafterreadingyouradvertisementinthismorning'sJournaltha tyouareofferingjusttheopportunityIamlookingfor.

(2)Youradvertisementinthismorning'sJournalforanadjustmentmana gerpromptedmetoapplyforthisposition.

C:

(1)HavingreadyouradvertisementintheNewYorkTimesforanaccounta nt,Ithoughtyoumightbeinterestedinmyapplication.

(2)Inyouradvertisementforanaccountant,youindicatedthatyourequir etheservicesofapetentperson,withthoroughtraininginthefieldofcost accounting.Pleaseconsidermeanapplicantfortheposition.Herearemy reasonsforbelievingIamqualifiedforthiswork.

二、在提到希望得到的待遇时，可用类似的句子：

I'dprefernottosetasalary,butsinceyouask,Iconsider6,500amonthtob esatisfactory.

It'shardformetosaywhatmysalaryshouldbesetat,butifpressedIwould havetoaskforamonthasaninitialsalary.

Idon'tfeelthatIshouldsetmyownsalary,asIamhappyenoughtohavethe privilegeofworkingforyou.However,Iwouldconsideramonthsatisfact orypensationformyapprenticeship.

三、提起或要求待遇时不要过分谦虚或表示歉意，下列句子不宜使用：

Asforsalary,Idonotknowwhattosay.Would$4,500amonthbetoomuch?

DoyouthinkIwouldbeaskingtoomuchifIsaid5,000dollarsamonth?

YouknowwhatmyservicesareworthbetterthanIdo.AllIwantisalivingw age.

四、关于求职信的结尾用语，下面也有三组例句。每一组里面(1)句较差，经过修改后(2)句显得比较恰当。

A:

(1)软弱、羞怯的：IfyouthinkIcanfillthepositionafteryouhavereadmyletter,Ishallbegladt otalkwithyou.

(2)改写后(较佳)：Ifmyqualificationsmeetyourstandards,Iwouldbehappytospeakwithy ouinperson.

B:

(1)怀疑，不妥、不安全的：

Ifyouareinterested,pleaseletmeknowimmediately,asI'msureaninterv iewwillconvinceyouI'mthemanforthejob.

(2)改写后：

Iwouldliketorequestaninterview.YoucanreachmebytelephoneatBeiji ng123456betweenthehoursof7-9a.m.and5:30-9:30p.m.anyevening.

C:

(1)哀求式的句子，不够完整(漏掉面谈时间)：Iwouldappreciatetheopportunityforaninterview.Icanbereachedbyca llingBeijing12345678.

(2)改写后：MayIhavetheopportunitytodiscussthismatterfurtherwithyou?Mytel ephonenumberisBeijing12345678.Youcanreachmebetweennineand fiveo'clockduringtheday.
