A letter of application is a sales letter in which you are both salesperson and product, for the purpose of an application is to attract an employer’s attention and persuade them to grant you an interview. To do this, the letter presents what you can offer the employer, rather than what you want from the job.
A letter of application must communicate your ambition and enthusiasm. Yet it must, at the same time, be modest. It should be neither aggressive nor meek: neither pat yourself on the back nor ask for sympathy. It should never express dissatisfaction with a present or former job or employer. And you should avoid discussing your reasons for leaving your last job.
Keep in mind the following principles when writing your letter of application:
1. Start by attracting attention. You must say, of course, that you are applying and mention both the specific job and how you heard about it. But try to avoid a mundane opening. Instead of:
I would like to apply for the position of legal secretary, which you advertised in the Los Angeles Times of Sunday, August 10...
Try something a bit more original:
I believe you will find my experiences in the Alameda District Attorney’s office have prepared me well for the position of legal secretary, which you advertised in the Los Angeles Times of Sunday, August 10...
2. Continue by describing your qualifications. Highlight your strengths and achievements and say how they suit you for the job at hand. Provide details and explanations not found on your resume, and refer the reader to the resume for the remaining, less pertinent facts.
3. Assure the employer that you are the person for the job. List verifiable facts that prove you are not exaggerating or lying. Mention the names of any familiar or prominent references you may have. In some way, distinguish yourself from the mass of other qualified applicants.
4. Conclude by requesting an interview. Urge the employer to action by making it easy to contact you. Mention your telephone number and the best hours to reach you, or state that you will call them within a few days.
A complete application should contain both a letter of application and a resume.
While it is possible to write a letter so complete in detail that a resume seems redundant, it is always most professional to include both. Questions 56 to 60 Complete the following schema with no more than three words according to the passage.
选项
答案
ask for sympathy
解析
(根据文章第二段第三句话,我们不应当在求职信中自怜自艾,以求获得收信人的同情。故填ask for sympathy。)
