Job Application
May 22nd
Dear Mr. Cavendish,
I saw your advertisement in the local paper this evening，and I wonder if you would consider me for a job as a waiter this summer.
I am seventeen years old and at present I am studying English and economics. When I leave school, I hope to take a course in hotel management. During the school holidays last summer, I worked as a waiter at the Central Hotel. The headwaiter there, Mr. Macintosh, will be pleased to send you a recommendation for me.
I would prefer to work in your hotel in Filey because it is near my home. However, if there isn’t any job there for me, perhaps you could consider me for the Scarborough Hotel.
I would be pleased if you will send me information about the pay and conditions of the job to be offered. I will be free to begin work in the fourth week of July when the school holidays start.
Yours sincerely,
Peter Tuck

行文點(diǎn)評(píng)
這是一封范例的求職信。第一段開(kāi)門見(jiàn)山，表明寫信的目標(biāo)是求職。同時(shí)，也注明了消息起源和應(yīng)聘職位。第二段開(kāi)端介紹求職者的情況，(注意：所寫的情況最好能體現(xiàn)出你十分合適所應(yīng)聘的職位)。信中第三段特別陳述了一個(gè)不情之請(qǐng)并闡明原因。最后一段表明自己盼望得到回復(fù)，并闡明自己可以開(kāi)端工作的具體時(shí)間。
這封信符合求職信的結(jié)構(gòu)請(qǐng)求，語(yǔ)言簡(jiǎn)潔，語(yǔ)氣禮貌慷慨。
