　　体裁 说明文 话题 求职信 词数 309

　　The purpose of a letter of application(求职信)is to help you to “sell” yourself. It should state　1　the job you want, and should tell what your abilities are and what you have　2　. It should be simple, human, personal and brief without　3　out any necessary facts.

　　In writing a letter of application, keep in　4　that the things a possible employer is most　5　to want to know about are your qualifications(条件), your achievements and your aims. The opening paragraph is perhaps the most important part. 　6　the first few sentences fail to　7　the reader’s attention, the rest of the letter may not be　8　at all. Try to key your opening remarks to the needs or interests of the employer not　9　your own need or desires. For example, instead of beginning with “I saw your　10　in today’s newspaper”, you might say “I have made a careful　11　of your advertising during the past six months” or “I have made a survey in my neighborhood to find out how many housewives　12　your product and why they like it. ”

　　Try to　13　generalities(概述). Be clear about the kind of job for which you are now　14　. College graduates looking for their first positions often ask “What can I　15　in a letter? Employers want experience—which, naturally, no　16　has. ”The answer is that everything you have ever done is　17　.

　　It is important to write a good strong closing for your letter. 　18　a specific request for an interview or give the possible employer something definite to do or expect. An excellent　19　is to enclose(内附)a stamped, self-addressed envelope with your letter. That makes it　20　for a possible employer to get in touch with you.
