（五）求职信的语气
求职信要发挥昀好的效果，语气必须肯定、自信、有创意而不过分夸张，如能事先洞察雇主的喜好或其他人格特性，根据物以类聚的原理，使求职信配合雇主的个性，求职者一定可以比其他人拥有更大优势，获得面谈的机会。比较下列各句语气上的不同。
1. I think that I should probably make a good bookkeeper for you.
我想我可能会成为贵公司的好簿记员。
2. I am confident that my experience and references will show you that I can fulfill the particular requirements of your bookkeeping position.
我相信我的经验和推荐人可以告诉您，我具备贵公司簿记员一职所要求的素质。
3. I recently completed a course in filing at the Crosby School of Business. I am competent not only to install a filing system that will fulfill the needs of your organization, but I am also well qualified to operate it efficiently.
昀近我在克洛斯比商业补习班读完了一门档案处理的课程，我自信不仅可以设置一套档案分类系统满足您的要求，而且可以有效地操作它。
4. I feel quite certain that as a result of the course in filing which I completed at the Crosby School of Business, I can install and operate efficiently a filing system for your organization.
我相信在克洛斯比商业实习班修完一门课后，我能够替贵公司设置并操作一套档案分类系统。
第一句显得语气太弱，写信的人显得有点羞怯；第二句有特殊风格；第三句太过自信；第四句，作者比较谦虚。
Chapter 9 Job Interviews
9.1 Preparation
Make a good impression at your interview by doing a little homework beforehand.
Research the Company and the Position
The more you know about the company and the job you are applying for, the better you will
appear in the interview. An interviewer will be impressed by your interest and motivation, and
you will be able to explain what you can do for the company.
Find out as much key information as you can about the company, its products and its customers.
If possible, talk to people who work at the company. There may be other sources of information
on the Web, especially if the company is publicly traded.
Search for the following:
.
Office locations
.
Products and services
.
Customers
.
Competitors
.
Philosophy
.
History
.
Recent news
.
Financial info, including salary and stock
Prepare for the Actual Interview
.
Practice your answers to common questions. Likewise, prepare a list of questions to ask the employer. Most interviews follow this pattern: First, you answer questions about your experience and qualifications, then you ask questions about the job.
.
Rehearse your interview with a friend. You should be able to convey all pertinent information about yourself in 15 minutes. Tape yourself to check your diction, speed and body language.
.
Prepare your interview materials before you leave. Bring several copies of your resume,
a list of references, and, if appropriate, any work samples. Make sure they are all up-to-date.
. Dress professionally and comfortably. You will be judged in some respects by what you wear. When in doubt, dress conservatively.
For women:
. A straight-forward business suit is best.
. Wear sensible pumps.
. Be moderate with make-up and perfume.
. Wear simple jewelry.
. Hair and fingernails should be well-groomed.
For men:
. A clean, ironed shirt and conservative tie are a must.
. A simple jacket or business suit is a good idea as well.
. Shoes should be polished.
. Face should be clean-shaven; facial hair should be neatly trimmed.
. Hair and fingernails should be well-groomed.
. Use cologne or after-shave sparingly. Bring pen and notepad to jot down any information you may need to remember (but do not take notes during the interview).
