過完年大家是不是想換工作呢？雖然人力銀行提供了制式化的履歷，但如果能附上一封求職信（cover letter），你會看起來更專業喔！今天就來跟大家分享寫求職信的小技巧。
- 開頭：說明應徵的職位和從何處得知應徵的消息，並簡短說明自己與該職位相關的背景，例如：
Dear Mr. Epstein:
Having worked as an accountant for a local business for the past nine years, I would like to apply for the position of Senior Accountant which you advertised in the Los Angeles Times of Friday, February 7, 2020.
這裡提到二月七日星期五的洛杉磯時報是得知該職缺的管道。另外，第一句的前半部說明過去的工作經歷是當地企業的會計師，而這個背景跟應徵的職位（即資深會計師）相關。如果剛從學校畢業，則可以說明自己從哪個學校的科系畢業。這個粗略的背景資訊能引起讀者的興趣，因為這暗示後面的段落將提供細節說明該背景跟應徵的職位間的關聯性。
- 中間段落一：詳細描述與職位需求相關的資歷和特質，例如：
As an accountant for Williams and Co., Ltd., I have focused on budget forecasting and auditing. An internal audit I led last year helped the company avoid penalties. In addition, I am solely responsible for dealing with any financial discrepancy and ensuring that the company complies with all tax laws and financial regulations.
這裡注重事實的描寫，除了描述目前和之前的工作內容，也可以說明對公司的貢獻。這裡談的事例目的在佐證履歷表上列出的經歷。另外，切記勿用浮誇的形容詞描述自己的能力和功績，以免給人自吹自擂的印象。
- 中間段落二：說明自己的求職原因，例如：
While I thoroughly enjoy my work at Williams and Co., Ltd., it is time for me to move forward to the next stage of my career. With my experience and qualifications, I believe that I can benefit your company and meet the challenges the position brings.
另外注意千萬不要在這裡抱怨目前的公司或前公司。
- 提供推薦人（如果有的話），例如：
My manager Mr. Morton Benson has agreed to provide a reference for me. His details are shown on my résumé .
- 結尾：表示期待對方能給予面試機會，例如：
I would be happy to attend an interview Monday through Friday during business hours. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions about my qualifications.
Sincerely yours,
-----
