At the beginning of the text, you should indicate the reasons for writing and express your desire for job hunting. The first paragraph of the cover letter is very important, which determines whether the employer will finish reading the letter or even be interested in the job seeker. This part should tell the other party how he got the recruitment information and what position he is going to apply for. If the news of the recruitment is not very accurate, you can ask yourself in a self-recommendation tone and state your interest and yearning for the company or position. The following English sentence patterns can be used to express this part:
I'd like to apply for the position of accountant you offered in today's Southern Weekend.
I am very excited and happy to learn that you want to recruit a secretary.
Reading today's China Daily, I learned that your company is looking for an assistant to the general manager. As I am eager to get such a position, I am willing to apply.
Your company advertised in Wuhan Evening News for a social secretary, so I should like to apply.
Second, introduce yourself.
This section can display the personal background information of the applicant. You should briefly introduce the age, major, education, work experience and work ability of the applicant, so that the employer can believe that you are qualified for the position you are applying for. If you just graduated or haven't graduated, because you have little or no work experience, you can introduce more about the social practice activities you participated in during your school days. At the same time, you can also introduce your personal hobbies, which are related to the job you are applying for. The following English sentence patterns can be used to express this part:
I worked as a market analyst for a city company for four years.
Two years ago, after I graduated from the College of Economics and Business of Huazhong Agricultural University, I have been working as an export clerk in a trading company.
I graduated from Huazhong Agricultural University with the highest honors in July 2006, majoring in human resource management.
I can speak English fluently and translate it into Chinese quickly.
If I have the opportunity to serve your company, I am very familiar with office work and believe it will help me.
I have operational knowledge of all common office machines, such as typewriters, word processors, fax machines and photocopiers.
If you are looking for another job, you should also explain the reason for leaving. The user unit has an intuitive understanding of your past situation. For example:
I want to leave my present position because my work place is too far from the city.
In order to gain more extensive experience in trade, I intend to give up my present position.
Third, the recommendation certificate
In order to let the employer know the moral quality, work performance or academic performance of the job seeker, the job seeker should provide two or three referees to prove the authenticity of the contents stated in the cover letter. It's best for the referee to be a former boss or a school teacher. If this point has been explained in detail in your resume, this part can be omitted, as long as there are several letters of recommendation in the attachment. The following English sentence patterns can be used to express this part:
I have some letters of recommendation from tutors in these subjects. I hope to have a chance to show them to you.
As for my character and ability, please allow me to ask Professor Zhang Qiancheng, an animal husbandry expert.
Four. Concluding remarks
At the end of the cover letter, you should clearly express your desire to get an interview and your strong desire to get the position you are applying for, and leave your contact information. The following English sentence patterns can be used to express this part:
I'd be happy to come for an interview at your convenience and discuss my qualifications in person. You can call me at 8765432 1 any night after 8: 00.
If you think I am suitable for this job, please let me know when it is convenient for an interview.
In the writing of cover letters, we should pay attention to two issues: First, avoid verbosity and disorder, get into the subject concisely and clearly, and accurately express the desire for job hunting. Secondly, it is necessary to avoid self-contempt and arrogance. We should show our abilities and talents in a modest and polite way.
