Key points for writing an English cover letter

When applying for a job, writing an English cover letter can leave a deep and good impression on the interviewer, and it can also reflect your English proficiency and increase your chances of being interviewed. What should you pay attention to when writing an English cover letter? In this column, I have provided the following key points for writing an English cover letter. I hope it can help everyone.

1. The language expression should be concise

Avoid using too many professional terms and overly complex sentences. On the one hand, the employer will not spend too much time on a resume; on the other hand, concise language expression can also allow the interviewer to quickly read your resume

2. Clarify the job information and recruitment Channel

The title of the cover letter should clearly tell the other party the name of the position you are applying for and where you obtained the recruitment information, for example, Your advertisement for (position name) a Network Maintenance Engineer in (media name) the April 10 Student Daily interested me. This will help the other party understand the effective way to spread recruitment information

3. Objective and practical language

English cover letters should avoid subjective judgmental language and critical words. Do not exaggerate yourself, especially do not state abilities or characteristics that are inconsistent with the facts. You can use objective numbers and quotes from others to describe your actual situation in your resume.

4. Pay attention to the beginning and the end

At the end of the cover letter, we usually have to mention the things we hope to get an interview. Therefore, the end is very important. In expressing ourselves, When expressing your wishes, avoid weak or shy expressions, such as: If you think I can fill the position after you have read my letter, I shall be glad to talk with you.

5. Express personal characteristics.

A job application letter should be personal, approachable, and reflect professionalism. Don't be too casual or stick to the format. The sentence structure and length should be varied to keep readers interested. The content, tone, word choice, and expression of hope should be positive and should fully demonstrate that you are an optimistic, responsible, creative, and reasonable person.

In addition, details are very important, such as the choice of paper. Generally, high-quality A4 printing paper is used, and the text is printed out with a printer. The signature at the end of the letter must be your own handwriting.
