楼主是准备发英语简历和求职信给哪里啊?是那种求职招聘网站还是直接发英语求职信和简历到企业邮箱呢?一般来讲,求职信不是放在简历里的,而且在发求职信到企业HR邮箱时,附件里粘贴你的简历,最好是中英文的。因为企业都是先通过求职信来了解你的大概情况,然后才会打开简历看你的详细资料。他们的邮箱每天都回收到很多封求职信,很多都是粗略看一下,如果你的求职信不能脱颖而出的话,那你也就没有后面的机会了。下面的文章是摘自《西雅图工作英语》的网站,我想你要是按照这些要点来写英语求职信,应该没问题的。
写英文求职信,最重要的是你要熟悉求职信和英国人或者美国人的写信思路,不要将中文版的翻译成英语,那样会让人觉得你的英语还不怎么地道,从而失去竞争力。那么,怎样的英文求职信会紧紧抓住面试官的眼球呢?这里面是有很多学问的,一共有七点。
第一,有的放矢。不要把英文求职信写成一种能到处撒网的求职信,然后大量复制,到处投递。这种不管三七二十一的狂轰滥炸,很少能击中目标。有效的求职信都具有很强的针对性,或针对公司的某一具体职位
第二,设置两个左右的兴趣点。用英语写出你自己关键的经历、最好的成绩、重要的特长以及自己的愿望、心情和信心等。表明你所特有的教育、技能、个性特征和将会为招聘单位做出的特殊贡献等。
第三,特长词句加黑加粗。在英文求职信的格式上,对需要特别强调的词语用另外一种字体打出。例如,“主要特长”用加黑、加粗的字体显示,便于浏览。对特别的段落,采取两端各缩进两字的方法处理,更能吸引招聘者的目光。
第四,加个小故事或者事例。在每个人的成长过程中总有一些特别的经历,对自己的人生道路和人生的看法发生重要的影响,会改变一个人对于机会、金钱和世界观的看法。尤其是把重大的挫折、人生的转变或者一个悲剧写到求职信中,这样的事例更能反映出自信、有责任感、不轻言放弃等人皆推崇的品质。
第五,逆向思维,胜人一筹。英文求职应聘不附和、不随俗、不从众,是有主见的表现。有一位同学这样写道:“其实我并不觉得贵公司条件有多好,只是感觉比较适合我的专业。而且觉得最后能不能入选,关键在于实力而不在于运气。”这种写法往往能使招聘者眼前一亮,起到好的效果。
第六,适当地自负一些。“我虽刚刚毕业,但我年轻,有朝气,有能力完成任何工作。尽管我还缺乏一定的经验,但我会用时间和汗水去弥补。请领导放心,我一定会保质保量完成各项工作任务。”口气坚决,信心十足,给人以精力旺盛,“初生牛犊不怕虎”的感觉。
第七,在语言风格上要平实、简洁,切忌用夸张。比喻的手法引起误解,而要给招聘者留下诚恳,务实的印象。招聘者也没有时间阅读过长的信件,所以整篇书信要简短,能控制在一页16开纸上为最好。在句子结构上要多用长句.长句善于表达复杂事物,一方面有利于准确表达求职者的意图,容易给招聘者留下思维条理清晰,逻辑性强的印象;另一方面,将大量信息融合到一个句子中,很容易抓住招聘者的注意力,迫使其一口气读完,从而留下深刻印象。
还有一篇英语求职信的范文的通用版本,适合毕业生使用,也是我从《西雅图工作英语》的官方网站上面看到的,他们还有好几篇范文呢,适合不同经历、不同情况的应聘者,你自己上去看看吧,就在学习园地里。对了,他们的独家教程也很棒,建议你也学习一下,对你参加英语面试和未来的工作发展肯定有帮助。
