日期:2011-04-11

Your cover letter is the first thing employers see when they open your materials. Avoid these 10 mistakes, and make your first impression a good and lasting one.
求职信是雇主打开资料首先看到的东西。避免这10项错误,给你的雇主留下长期美好的第一印象。

Mistake 1: Overusing 'I' 
Your cover letter is not your autobiography. The focus should be on how you meet an employer's needs, not on your life story. Avoid the perception of being self-centered by minimizing your use of the word "I," especially at the beginning of your sentences.
错误1  过度使用“我”
你的求职信不是你的自传。重点是你如何满足一个雇主的需求,而不是你的生活故事。通过减少“我”的使用避免自我为中心的观念,尤其是在句子的开头。

Mistake 2: Using a Weak Opening
When writing a cover letter, job seekers frequently struggle with how to begin. This often results in a feeble introduction lacking punch and failing to grab the reader's interest.
错误2 使用无力的开头
写求职信的时候,求职者经常为如何开头而感到头痛。这经常导致一封没有影响力的简介,缺乏力度又不能吸引读者的兴趣。

Mistake 3: Omitting Your Top Selling Points
A cover letter is a sales letter that sells you as a candidate. Just like the resume, it should be compelling and give the main reasons you should be called for an interview. Winning cover letter tips include emphasizing your top accomplishments or creating subheadings culled from the job posting. For example:
Your Ad Specifies: The need for a strong computer background.
I Offer: Proficiency in all MS Office applications with additional expertise in Web site development and design.
错误3省略你的最高卖点
求职信是一封推销你应聘一个职位的推销信。它必须引人注目,给出让你面试的主要原因。成功的求职信要点包括强调你的最高成就,或者从招聘中创造副标题。例如:
你的广告强调:需要精通电脑知识
我提供:精通所有办公软件,对网站的开发和设计有专业知识。

Mistake 4: Making It Too Long
If your cover letter exceeds one page, you may be putting readers to sleep. A great cover letter is concise but compelling, and respects the reader's time.
错误4写得太长
如果你的求职信超过一页,读者就会昏昏欲睡。一封好的求职信必须简明又引人注意,并且尊重读者的时间。

Mistake 5: Repeating Your Resume Word for Word
Your cover letter shouldn't regurgitate what's on your resume. Reword your cover letter statements to avoid dulling your resume's impact. Consider using the letter to tell a brief story, such as "My Toughest Sale" or "My Biggest Technical Challenge."
错误5逐字重复你的简历
求职信不该重复简历上的内容。改写求职信中对简历的陈述,避免消极的影响。考虑利用求职信说明一个简要的故事,如 “我最艰难的销售生涯” 或“我经历最大的技术挑战”。
