完形填空
The aim of writing a letter of application is to help you to "sell" yourself.It should state __1__ the job
you want, and should tell what your abilities are and what you have __2__.It should be simple, human,
personal and brief without __3__ out any necessary fact.
In writing a letter of application, bear in mind that the things a possible employer is most __4__ to
want to know about are your qualifications, your achievements and your aims.The opening paragraph is
perhaps the most important part.If the first few sentences fail to __5__ the reader's attention, the rest of
the letter may not be __6__ at all.Try to key your opening remarks to the needs or interests of the
employer not to your own need or desire.For example, instead of beginning with "I saw your __7__ in
today's paper." you might say "I have made a careful study of your advertising during the past six months"
or "I have made a survey in my neighborhood to find out how many housewives __8__ your product and
why they like it."
Try to __9__ generalities.Be clear about the kind of job for which you are now __10__.College
graduates looking for their first positions often ask "What can I __11__ in a letter? Employers want
experience, which, naturally, no__12__ has." The answer is that everything you have ever done is
__13__.
It is important to write a good strong closing for your letter.__14__ a specific request for an
interview or give the possible employer something definite to do or expect.An excellent __15__ is to
enclose (内附) a stamped, selfaddressed (写上自己地址的) envelope with your letter.That makes it
easier for a possible employer to get in touch with you.
