1. Tweak your tone for every company.

Don't send genericcover letters that can be used for any job application. You want to make sure that the tone of your letter fits the type of firm you're applying to. Is the company looking for someone with sassor someone more serious? Figure that out on your own, and tailor your letter to what suits the company.

1. 為每個公司定制求職信。

不要像發(fā)簡歷模版一樣把相同的求職信發(fā)給不同的公司。你需要根據(jù)公司類型調(diào)整你求職信的語調(diào)。目標公司是在找自信的還是嚴謹?shù)那舐氄撸磕阕约号袛?，然后為公司量身制作求職信?/p>

2. Be different.

Don't repeat everything on your résumé in your cover letter. The letter is your chance to shine and show a bit of your personality. Repeating what's already been said just takes up valuable space.

2. 寫一些不同的東西。

不要把簡歷上寫過的內(nèi)容在求職信上再寫一遍。求職信是用來突出閃光點和體現(xiàn)個人特質(zhì)的，重復簡歷的內(nèi)容將浪費非常寶貴的展示自己的機會。

3. Don't bring up your weaknesses.

If no one is asking you what your biggest failings are, then don't be so eager to volunteer that information. The cover letter is not the time to reflect on self-improvement; save that for the weakness question you may be asked during the interview.

3. 不要提及弱項。

如果沒人問你哪件事讓你敗得跌入谷底，不要主動提出來。求職信不是用來自我反省和提高的，有關(guān)弱項的話題等到面試有人詢問時再斟酌回答吧。

4. Focus on the company, not yourself.

Try your best to show that you care about the company and how you want to help it grow. Try to avoid using too much "I," and show how you can be a helpful addition to the company.

4. 以公司為導向，而不是自己。

盡量表現(xiàn)出你對公司的關(guān)注，并且表明你可以幫助公司提高業(yè)績。求職信句子中不要總是出現(xiàn)“我”，要多寫你能給公司帶來的額外價值。

5. Stick to the right length.

Limit yourself to a page, and try to stick to four paragraphs. The first should be an introduction, the position you'd like to apply for, and a sentence summarizing briefly why you'd like the job and why you're a perfect fit. The next two should go on to mention applicable skills and specific achievements that further showcase how qualified you are for the job. The last paragraph should be a final brief emphasis on how you're excited for the position and a place for you to thank the readers for their time and consideration.

5. 注意求職信長度。

一頁四段最佳。第一段應(yīng)該是簡短介紹你應(yīng)聘的職位，求職的原因以及為什么自己適合這份工作。接下來的兩段可以列出技能與成就，從而更體現(xiàn)出自己符合職位的要求。最后一段應(yīng)表明自己對職位的濃厚興趣，以及感謝HR花了時間和精力看這封信。
