應(yīng)用文主要包括書信、摘要、報告、備忘錄四種。下面以求職信為例,談應(yīng)用文的寫作,希望讀者能舉一反三。同時求職信是大學(xué)生步入社會、走向工作崗位的第一步,了解求職信的寫法具有實(shí)際意義。
那么,如何用地道流利的英語寫好一份英文求職信呢?關(guān)鍵要處理好英文求職信的五個組成部分:寫信動機(jī)、自我介紹、本人能力、結(jié)尾、附件。
一、寫求職信動機(jī)
通常求職信是針對報紙上招聘廣告而寫的。若此,求職信中須提到何月何日的報紙,有時工作機(jī)會是從朋友或介紹所聽來的,有時寫信人不知某機(jī)構(gòu)、公司有工作機(jī)會,毛遂自薦。不論哪一種,求職信上一定要說明寫信的緣由和目的。
因此首先應(yīng)該表明你是在何家媒體看到應(yīng)聘廣告以及所要應(yīng)聘的職位。參考例句:
1.In reply to your advertisement in todays newspaper,I respectfully offer my services for the situation.拜讀今日XX報上貴公司的廣告,本人特此備函應(yīng)征該職位。
2.Replying to your advertisement into- days issue of the(newspaper),I wish to apply for the position in your esteemed firm.拜讀貴公司在今日(報紙)上廣告,特此備函應(yīng)征貴公司該職位。
3.With reference to your advertisement in(newspaper)of May 2for a clerk,I offer myself for the post.從五月二日XX報上廣告欄得知貴公司招聘一位職員,我愿應(yīng)招。
4.I wish to apply for the position advertised in the enclosed clipping from the(newspaper)of November 12.謹(jǐn)隨函附上十一月十二日XX報貴公司招聘廣告,我愿應(yīng)招此職位。
5.In answer to your advertisement into- days newspaper for a secretary,I wish to tender my services.閣下在今日XX報上刊登招聘秘書廣告,本人獲悉,特此應(yīng)招。
6.Learning from XX that you are looking for a sales manager,I should like to apply for the position.從XX處得悉,貴公司正在招聘一名業(yè)務(wù)經(jīng)理,我愿應(yīng)招此職。
7.Your advertisement for a telephone operator in the newspaper of March 8has interested me,I feel I can fill that position.貴公司三月八日在XX報上刊登招聘電話接線員廣告,本人拜讀后極感興趣,相信能擔(dān)任此職。
