求职信写作指导

廖英

[试题呈现]

假设你的名字叫李华，今年18岁，想利用暑假打工，你在报纸上看到了某咖啡厅的招聘广告。请根据报纸内容写一封120～150字的求职信。

注意：1. 框内为李华个人的相关信息；

2. 信的开头已为你写好，不计入总词数。

[谋篇布局]

求职信属于公务信函，其目的在于让聘用方了解自己的经验、能力、成就以及愿望等，所以对个人情况的介绍应该是求职信的核心内容。应尽可能向对方说明本人的长处，以便留下好印象，获得面谈的机会。

求职信一般包括以下几个方面的内容：

首先阐述清楚招聘信息的来源，以及所申请的具体职位；

其次简述个人信息；然后进一步强调自己的能力，表达抱负；

最后提出自己的希望，希望得到面试的机会。

求职信的语言属于正式用语，在写作过程中一定要注意用词简洁、准确，语气礼貌、自信，态度不卑不亢，所给信息具有充分的可信度。尤其是在强调自身经历和优点的时候，更应把握尺度。

点评 这是一篇中等习作。其优点是：

1. 层次分明，结构清晰，三段各有侧重点，要点齐全。语气诚恳，不卑不亢。

2. 有一定的词汇积累，部分表达选词恰当且高级，如：inform you of my advantages， equip me with excellent communicating skills， be of great help to。

不足之处在于：

在信息来源的表述上第一段和第二段有重复。

有一定数量的中式英语表达，不符合英文表达逻辑与习惯。如第二段的最后一句话可修改为In addition， I will dress appropriately and behave politely to be a qualified waiter。

作者尝试了亮点表达，但存在个别选词错误与搭配不当。如：在表达“有时间”时，I have available time应改为I am available；cast light on意为“阐明”，用在my ability上很生硬，根据表达需要可修改为 ...which can indicate my experience accumulation and qualification；在副词修饰动词方面，没有becomingly这个词；talk low可修改为talk gently；act good可修改为behave politely。

点评 这是一篇高档习作。

1. 段落清晰，层次分明。有过渡衔接词besides， whats more， in a word，也有过渡衔接句Listed below are my qualifications for the job.

2. 高级词汇运用自如，作者语用输出能力强。在词方面，通过丰富的形容词和副词使表达更形象，如enormous， definitely， available， previous， flexibly， guarantee。在短语方面，动词和介词短语交叉使用，如be possessed of， live up to ones expectation， it is convenient for me to， at an advantage， attend to sudden circumstances， be qualified for， meet with your approval。

3. 句式结构丰富多样，长短句并存。在文章第一段，作者就分别用了as引导的非限定性定语从句和as引导的让步状语从句。此外，我们还可以欣赏到下列高级句式：

Possessed of enormous enthusiasm and determination， I will definitely live up to your expectation. （过去分词作状语）

Listed below are my qualifications for the job. （系表结构的完全倒装）

Knowing that enjoying working with people is what it takes to be a waitress in your café， I can meet this demand as I am a friendly and helpful person. （现在分词作状语+what引导的表语从句）

... the previous three months working experience in the KFC is where I am at an advantage. （where引导的表语从句）
