考研英语写作小作文之求职信

在考研英语的Part A 小作文部分，书信作为考查的重点所在，种类繁多。在前面我们曾就以题目为例，详细地解析过前八种书信：即建议信、投诉信、咨询信、感谢信、祝贺信、道歉信、慰问信以及申请信的写作方法及其注意事项。今天本文就对考研英语小作文中的第九种书信求职信进行深入的分析。

求职信，英文中称为cover letter，或是letter of application，是向某个公司或单位申请某个具体工作岗位的信件，在日常生活工作中非常实用，尤其是在求职于外企时，多会要求写辞职信。其实，光从英文名字上也可发现，广义上来说求职信是申请信的一种特殊情况，因此，在写作辞职信时多可借鉴申请信的写作思路。

一般来说，在考研英语中，求职信主体部分的写作可按照三个步骤进行，即三步走策略。接下来就以题目为例，具体解析一下这个策略。

例题：

Directions：

You are a senior who has read a job ad in China Daily for accounting manager assistants. Write a letter to the Personnel Department to apply for the position. You should include the details you think necessary.

You should write about 100 words on ANSWER SHEET 2.

Do not sign your own name at the end of the letter. Use Li Ming instead.

Do not write the address.

题目所给的规定情景是你是一名大四学生，在《中国日报》上看到一则招聘会计经理助理的广告。要求你向人事部门写一封信应聘这个岗位。

根据上面所提的慰问信写作三步走策略，具体操作如下：

首段：With reference to your advertisement in China Daily for an accounting manager assistant, I am writing to apply for the position.

在上封介绍过的申请信中，，三步走策略中的第一步就是要表明写信目的。用到的英语句型也是I am writing this letter toapply for。同样，在与之相似的求职信中，我们可以借用这一表达。除此之外，日常生活中很多公司发布职位需求时往往会在应聘须知里附上注明信息来源的要求，也就是要求应聘者应聘时需说明从何处得知该招聘通知的，比如报纸杂志、各大就业网站或者其官网等等。因此，一般来说，在求职信中，我们多会先告知信息来源，再表明应聘的目的，那么句型我们就可用With reference to your advertisement in 来源 for 职位。

中段：I am convinced that I would be well qualified for the job. In the first place, I major in accounting in my university, which let me grasp the principal knowledge required by the job. Furthermore, senior as I am, I have spent several summers interning with an accounting firm in Beijing, fully putting what I have learnt into practice.

在求职信中，表明了应聘目的之后，接下来第二段的主要内容就是向对方展示自己到底有什么资格或条件来使对方给出面试机会了，也就是需要呈现己方的资格。对于本段的写作思路我们完全可以借鉴申请信的第二段，即表明资格时，考生需注意的是：首先，资格要分条陈述，切忌一锅乱炖，使之更为一目了然，也更吸引人;其次，资格中不论是自己的专业背景还是实践经历，除了要叙述事实之外，还要进一步阐释这些东西对于自己究竟有什么影响，也就是自己从这些东西里边得到了哪些收获。

尾段：My resume and list of references are available upon request. I hope that my application could get your favorable consideration. And I am looking forward to hearing from you.

本段中，如申请信中一样，期待对方对于这封信的反映。可用I hope that以及I am looking forward to hearing from you这两句话。除此之外，应聘工作时我们需向对方详细介绍己方的资历条件，但是鉴于求职信篇幅有限，所以一般需附更加详细的简历及其他相关材料，或者表明随时可奉，需放在表示期待之前。

在考研英语的书信表达中，类似的首段或尾段的套用句式比较丰富，大家需要在复习过程中进行有意的积累，并在写作中加以运用：

1. I am writing you this letter to show my keen interest in the position of...

2. Learning from...that you are looking for a...,I should like to apply for the position.

3. My major and experiences closely parallel your requirements.

4. I am sure that I meet the qualifications you specified in your advertisement.

5. I shall be glad to provide you with any further information concerning my education and professional experience.

6. I would like to meet you at your earliest convenience and discuss the possibility of working with your company.

因此，该题的完整范文如下：

To Whom It May Concern,

With reference to your advertisement in China Daily for an accounting manager assistant, I am writing to apply for the position.

I am convinced that I would be well qualified for the job. In the first place, I major in accounting in my university, which let me grasp the principal knowledge required by the job. Furthermore, senior as I am, I have spent several summers interning with an accounting firm in Beijing, fully putting what I have learnt into practice.

My resume and list of references are available upon request. I hope that my application could get your favorable consideration. And I am looking forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely yours,

Li Ming
