advice on covering letters
關於求職信的幾點建議
use one side of a4 paper, plain white photocopier paper is fine. if you are emailing it put it in the body of the email; don’t attach it.
使用a4紙的一面、純白的複印紙就可以了。如果要發郵件,請將內容放正文裡,不要放在附屬檔案里。
make sure you use the same paper as you used for your cv; it demonstrates professionalism.
確保你用的紙張與簡歷用的紙張是一樣的。這是專業性的體現。
use no more than four paragraphs.
內容請不要超過四段。
make sure your letter is an original and not a copy. print it with a good quality printer. if you send a copy it reflects badly on you and shows you didn’t care enough to spend the time creating a letter specifically for them.
確保內容的原創性,切勿抄襲。請用好的印表機列印。一份非原創的求職信會給人留下不好的印象,顯得你不夠用重視它,並沒有花特別的時間去完成。
address the letter to the correct person and make sure his or her name is spelt correctly. use their correct title and be sure to get their gender right.
將求職信準確地發給對方,收件人的名字務必拼寫正確。使用正確的稱呼和性別。
the spell check on your word processor will pick up some errors but you need to double check your spelling and grammar. spell check wouldn’t pick up on the difference between “from” and “form” for example. break down any contractions; that is to say, write “i have” not “i’ve”. an applicant who demonstrates perfect spelling and grammar is much more likely to impress an employer.
