when you start the letter, try to personalise it by finding out the name of the person to write to. one statistic states that a covering letter and cv addressed to the correct person are 15% more likely to receive a reply and 5% more likely to get an interview. remember when you start with a specific name, e.g. “dear mr. jones”, you should end with “yours sincerely”. if you can’t find the name and have to start “dear sir or madam”, end your letter with “yours faithfully”.
在開始寫信時，儘可能找出收信人的信息。據調查表明，給特定的人發求職信和簡歷可以收到高15%的回覆以及高5%的面試機會。記住當你以特定稱呼開頭時，例如“dear mr. jones”，必須以“yours sincerely”結尾。當你找不到特定收件人時，只能以“dear sir or madam”開頭，必須以“yours faithfully”結尾。
