4．
在电子简历中一般不要附带发表的作品或论文，因为一直有借电子邮件的附件传播病毒的可能性。另外，用人单位一般不会仔细阅读附带的作品。
5．
在申请同一公司的不同职位时，昀好能发两封不同的电子简历。因为有些求职网站的数据库软件会自动过滤掉第二封信件，以免造成冗余。
6．
发送电子简历时要错过高峰期。上网高峰一般在中午至午夜，这段时间传递速度非常慢，而且还会出现错误信息，因此，要择机而动。
7．
虽然电子邮件的交流比传统的文书随意便捷得多，但应当说的才说，不该说的不说。比如工资，你还是不问为好。人家要你表态，你也要灵活说话，不要让自己没有退路。这一条适合传统的纸媒简历和求职信。
8．
发送简历后，要与用人单位保持联络。求职不可能都是很顺利的，即使不被录用，昀好也发个电子邮件表示感谢，以便今后联络。
Chapter 8 Application Letters
Perhaps the only thing job-seekers dread more than writing a resume is writing the application letter to go with it. True, a resume requires good, solid writing and attention to detail, but an application letter is addressed to a particular person – whoever is in charge of hiring – and requires the job-seeker to answer the most important question on that person's mind: “Why is this applicant the best qualified candidate for the job?” How well you write an application letter may play a large part in how effective your resume will be. A good application letter may get you an interview; a bad one may make your resume little more than an afterthought.
8.1 Content
The application letter is your chance to sell yourself to a potential employer as the best candidate for a specific position. As such, it’s just as important as your resume. In fact, you should never send out a resume without one. The most important thing to remember is that your application letter serves a separate function from your resume and should not be used to repeat the details of your resume, such as work history, education, or personal objectives. The resume is about you, your experience and your skills. The application letter is about what you can do for the employer.
An effective application letter should accomplish three things:
. Introduce Yourself and Your Reason for Writing. The first paragraph needs to grab the hiring manager’s attention. Say exactly why you have sent your resume: you are interested in the company and you want to fill a need they have. Demonstrate your interest by indicating any connections between the employer and yourself. Show that you work in the same field, that you share a common professional interest, or that you have been following the company or industry in the news.
If you were referred to the company by a mutual friend or associate, mention them; the hiring manager may feel more obligated to respond to your letter (Don’t profess to know more than you do, however. If you make inaccurate statements regarding the company or the industry, the hiring manager will see right through it.). When offering to fill the company’s need, be specific as possible. Don’t just mention the job position and describe what the company requires from that position.
. Sell Yourself. In the second part of the letter, state (briefly) the skills you bring to the table that will specifically meet the employer's needs. There is no need to go into great detail; your resume should take care of that.
Instead, use this section to highlight how you will use your talents and experience to benefit the company. Do not use it to indicate how you think you will benefit from being employed – with a stack of resumes on her desk and positions to fill, the hiring manager isn’t concerned with your personal fulfillment. Keep your use of the personal pronoun “I” to a minimum. Try to use it in this sense: “Here is how I can help you.”
. Make a Plan. Close the letter by indicating what you would like to happen next. Don’t leave the ball in the employer’s court; take action! Tell the potential employer where you can be reached, either by phone or by e-mail, but don’t wait for a call. Indicate that if you don’t hear from them within a few days, you will follow up with a phone call to make sure your resume and cover letter have reached the intended recipient, and to arrange a face-to-face interview. Be assertive but polite (Some job seekers may want to use a paragraph to explain anything that’s not apparent from the resume, such as large gaps in the employment history.) .
