求职信

Whenever you send a résumé to a potential employer, be sure to include a carefully crafted cover letter.

Why a cover letter?

Why is a cover letter important? 就像简历一样,求职信的目的是让你获得面试机会.

但是一封有效的求职信传达了你的上司无法传达的信息,包括:

  • Your strong interest in the position 和 employer.
  • Your keen underst和ing of what the position entails.
  • 通过讲故事,你的技能如何与组织的需求联系起来.

虽然简历的目的是告知并强调你的职业经历, 求职信可以讲述有趣的故事,有说服力,并展示个性.

求职信通常会成为潜在雇主对你的第一印象. A well-写 cover letter adds professionalism, a personal touch, 和一个 competitive edge to your job search.
