The purpose of a letter of application(求职信) is to help you to “sell” yourself. It should state__16___ the job you want, and should tell what your abilities are and what you have ___17___. It should be simple, human, personal and brief without ___18___ out any necessary facts.

In writing a letter of application, keep in ___19___ that the things a possible employer is most ___20___ to want to know about are your qualifications(条件), your achievements and your aims. The opening paragraph is perhaps the most important part. ___21___ the first few sentences fail to ___22___ the reader’s attention, the rest of the letter may not be __23___ at all. Try to key your opening remarks to the needs or interests of the employer not ___24___ your own need or desires. For example, instead of beginning with “I saw your ___25___ in today’s newspaper,” you might say “I have made a careful ___26___ of your advertising during the past six months” or “I have made a survey in my neighborhood to find out how many housewives ___27___ your product and why they like it. ”

Try to ___28___ generalities. Be clear about the kind of job for which you are now ___29___. College graduates looking for their first positions often ask “What can I ___30___ in a letter? Employers want experience-which, naturally, no ___31___ has.” The answer is that everything you have ever done is ___32___.

It is important to write a good strong closing for your letter. ___33___ a specific request for an interview or give the possible employer something definite to do or expect. An excellent ___34___ is to enclose(内附) a stamped, self-addressed envelope with your letter. That makes it ___35___ for a possible employer to get in touch with you.
