Dear sir:
Four years as a senior clerk in sales department of the New World Products Company have,I believe,given me the experience to qualify for the job you advertised in Thursday's newspaper.
Since 1981 I have been responsible for all office details in the administration of sales,including writing much of the correspondence.In the course of my work,I have become familiar with the various sales territories,and have also in my spare time experience of handling business problems other than my proper sphere.
The years before I was employed at the New World,I was a secretary for Long Brother,an accounting firm.There I became familiar with accounting terms and procedures.I was graduated at Wah Yan College, in June 1974. I am twenty-five years of age and single.
I am leaving my present position because I can use my capabilities more fully in a position with wider scope. My present employer knows of my ambition and is helping me to find a new place.May I see you at your office to tell you more about myself and show you just how well I can do the work you require.
Yours faithfully
Kumwing Ho
英语的特点也是指信函正文的特点。英语信不同于其它体裁的英语作文,它并不要求华丽的词藻,也不讲究修辞。概括起来,英语求职信有如下几个特点:
(1) clearness(明了):要突出的主题,开场白要直截了当,不要绕圈子,应直接道明写信意图,在介绍个人情况时,应多说你能为公司做些什么。另外,层次要分明,使读信人一目了然。
(2) conciseness(简洁):言简意赅,文字力求简短。把必要的事项说清楚,不提与无关的事。尽量使用短句,少用复合句、避免陈词滥调。
