根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
The purpose of a letter of application is to help you to "sell" yourself. 71 It should be simple,human,personal and brief without leaving out any necessary facts.
In writing a letter of application,keep in mind that the things a possible employer is most likely to want to know about are your qualifications(条件),your achievements and your aims. 72 If the first few sentences fail to win the reader's attention,the rest of the letter may not be read at all.Try to focus your opening remarks on the needs or interests of the employer not on your own need or desires.For example,instead of beginning with "I saw your advertisement in today's newspaper,"you might say " 73 "or "I have made a survey in my neighborhood to find out how many housewives use your product and why they like it."
74 Be clear about the kind of job for which you are now aplying.College graduates looking for their first positions often ask "Which can I provide in a letter? Employers want experience - which,naturally,no beginner has." The answer is that everything you have ever done is experience.
It is important to write a good strong closing for your letter.Make a specific request for an interview or give the possible employer something definite to do or expect.At excellent idea is to enclose(内附)a stamped,self - addressed envelope with your letter. 75
A.I have made a careful study of your advertising during the past six months. |
B.Don't be late for an interview. |
C.It should state clearly the job you want,and should tell what your abilities are and what you have done. |
D.Try to avoid generalities. |
F.That makes it easier for a possible employer to get in touch with you.
G.At the end of the letter,you should sign your name nicely. 查看习题详情和答案>>
