Dear Mr. Brown,
亲爱的Jones先生，
I am writing to enquire if you have any vacancies in your company. I enclose my CV for your information
我写这封信的目的是需要咨询贵公司是否还有职位空缺。附上我的 简历 供你参考。
My reasons for wishing to work for Jenkins and Co. are because of the high reputation of your quality products and the opportunities you offer for career development. I am currently seeking a position in marketing but would be happy to consider other related positions within your organization
我想成为贵公司的一员有以下两个原因：其一贵公司的产品质量享有很高的声誉;其二贵公司为员工提供职业发展机会。我现在主要是找市场一类的职位但是贵公司能提供的其他相关职位，我也是十分喜欢的。
As you can see, I have had extensive vacation work experience in office environments, giving me varied skills and the ability to work with many different types of people. I know that a marketing manager needs to be flexible and to get results under pressure. These are qualities that my experience shows I possess
正如你所看到的，在假期兼职中我获得丰富的办公环境的工作经验，并掌握多样的工作技能，以及和各式各样的人工作的经验。我知道作为一个销售经理必须具备很强的灵活性以及高强度的抗压能力。这些品质在我的经历中一一验证。
I would be most grateful if you could consider me for any suitable positions available within your company. I have excellent references and in case you do not have any suitable openings at the moment, I would be grateful if you would keep my CV on file for any future possibilities.
我将不胜感激贵公司可以为我提供任何适合的工作机会。假若现在没有合适的职位，可以将我的 简历 先放入贵公司的人才库，以后有合适的机会也可以考虑，非常感谢。
I am available for interview at any time and look forward to hearing from you

Covering letters: the beginning, core and ending
求职信：开头、正文及结尾
When you write a covering letter it is important to have a structure. A typical structure would have four paragraphs and should answer four “W” questions: What job are you applying for? Why do you want to work in this sector and organisation? What are you offering? When are you available for interview?
求职信的结构非常重要。经典结构是有四大段的，必须回答4个什么：申请什么职位?为什么要申请这个部门组织?你可以为公司做什么?什么时候可以接受面试?
In your first paragraph you should state the job you are applying for and where you found it. Companies like to know which of their advertising sources is successful, so tell them if you found it online, through a newspaper or from another source. You should also inform them of when you are available to start.
第一段需要说明你申请的职位以及求职信息的来源。公司想要知道他们哪条广告是有效果的，所以请告知他们你是在网上，还是报纸，或者其他途径看到招聘信息的。你还需要告知可以接受面试的时间。
In the second paragraph tell them why you are interested in that type of work and why the company attracts you. If, for example, it is a small company say you prefer to work for a small, friendly organisation.
第二段需要告知你对这份工作的兴趣点在哪里，以及对方公司吸引你的原因。例如，对方是家小公司，你就说你喜欢在一家小的、比较友善的公司工作。
Summarise your strengths in the third paragraph and state why they would be an advantage in the job. You should match and relate your skills to the competencies that are required for the job.
在第三段总结自己的优势，并简单得解释为什么这些优点将会成为工作上的优势。你必须将你的技能和职位的能力要求相关联、相匹配。
In the final paragraph mention any dates that you won’t be available for an interview and remember to thank the employer and say you look forward to hearing from them.
最后一段要指出不能参加面试的时间，并对雇主表示感谢，期望从他们那里得到回复。
You should use only one side of A4 paper and use the same font as you used in your CV.
求职信只要占用A4纸的一面即可，并使用与你的简历相同的字体。
When you start the letter, try to personalise it by finding out the name of the person to write to. One statistic states that a covering letter and CV addressed to the correct person are 15% more likely to receive a reply and 5% more likely to get an interview. Remember when you start with a specific name, e.g. “Dear Mr. Jones”, you should end with “Yours sincerely”. If you can’t find the name and have to start “Dear Sir or Madam”, end your letter with “Yours faithfully”.
在开始写信时，尽可能找出收信人的信息。据调查表明，给特定的人发求职信和简历可以收到高15%的回复以及高5%的面试机会。记住当你以特定称呼开头时，例如“Dear Mr. Jones”，必须以“Yours sincerely”结尾。当你找不到特定收件人时，只能以“Dear Sir or Madam”开头，必须以“Yours faithfully”结尾。
Here are some examples of popular ways to start a covering letter:
以下有几个比较好的求职信的开头：
My name is ______ and I am writing in response to your advertisement
我的名字是______。我是看到贵公司的广告后准备投的简历。
I am writing in response to your advertisement in/for
我写这封信是为了申请广告中的职位。
Further to your advertisement in______, I should like to apply for
我想投递贵公司______广告中的职位。
I am writing to enquire if you have any vacancies for_____
我想问下贵公司______职位是否有空缺。
