Question

The purpose of a letter of application(求職信) is to help you to “sell” yourself. It should state ___36__ the job you want, and should tell what your abilities are and what you have ___37__. It should be simple, human, personal and brief without ___38___ out any necessary facts.

In writing a letter of application, keep in ___39___ that the things a possible employer is most ___40__ to want to know about are your qualifications(條件), your achievements and your aims. The opening paragraph is perhaps the most important part. ___41___ the first few sentences fail to ___42__ the reader’s attention, the rest of the letter may not be ___43___ at all. Try to key your opening remarks to the needs or interests of the employer not ___44___ your own need or desires. For example, instead of beginning with “I saw your ___45___ in today’s newspaper,” you might say “I have made a careful ___46___ of your advertising during the past six months” or “I have made a survey in my neighborhood to find out how many housewives ___47___ your product and why they like it.”

Try to ___48___ generalities. Be clear about the kind of job for which you are now ___49___. College graduates looking for their first positions often ask “What can I ___50___ in a letter? Employers want experience—which, naturally, no ___51___ has.” The answer is that everything you have ever done is ___52___.

It is important to write a good strong closing for your letter. ___53___ a specific request for an interview or give the possible employer something definite to do or expect. An excellent ___54___ is to enclose(內附) a stamped, self-addressed envelope with your letter. That makes it ___55__ for a possible employer to get in touch with you.
