　　解析：

　　一、第一部分要求考生写一份求职申请(Letter of Application for Employment)，当看到此题时：

　　1.考生要注意审题;

　　1)首先仔细阅读该广告;

　　2)弄清楚招聘单位对应聘者的要求;

　　3)假设自己就是应聘者，对照自身情况，看是否符合要求。尤其注意从技能(Skills)、专长(Speciality)、所受过的职业训练(Training)、工作经验(Experience)和教育背景(Educational Background)等几方面作自我评估，寻找两相吻合的地方。

　　2. 写求职信时应注意的事项：

　　1)写明你的详细地址及电话号码，以便对方与你联系;

　　2)称呼得当。

　　如果广告上没有写联系人是谁，则在求职信的开头可用：Dear Sir或Dear sirs。保险一点，可写 Dear sir/Dear madam。 如果广告上已写明联系人，在写求职信时，你就应写其姓名：Dear Mr. Smith,或Dear Ms. Shirley Green等。

　　3)求职信应简短，引人注意。

　　3. 求职申请信的格式

　　1)开场白(Opener)

　　最好开门见山，直接写明你写此信的目的，避免不必要的客套。

　　⑴ I'm writing to apply for the position of ......advertised in today's Shanghai Daily.

　　⑵ In replying to your advertisement in today's Shanghai Daily, I am applying for the position of......

　　⑶ In /Through today's newspaper I noticed your advertisement for ... /I have learned that you are hiring...

　　⑷ I would like to apply for /to be considered as a candidate for the job/ post/ position advertised in... / I saw advertised in / I have just seen in the ...

　　2) 正文(Body)

　　写求职信就像推销产品，言辞必须具有说服力，能打动对方。因此在正文中，你必须着重强调你的优点、长处，如学历、工作经历等，来证明你就是对方希望招聘的人员。但切忌过分夸张。

　　⑴ My working experience includes two months part-time receptionist with a CNR Co. and one year part-time assistant office manager for Haper's Stationery.

　　⑵ I feel I am well qualified to ... for the following reasons...

　　⑶ I have experience of ..., therefore I may have the ability you are looking for.

　　3) 结尾(Close)

　　最后，你可写一些希望参加面试并请求对方尽快给你答复等客套话。

　　⑴If my application is successful, I should /would like to...

　　⑵I am available for a personal interview if you are interested in my application.

　　⑶I would appreciate an interview at your convenience.

　　⑷If these meet your requirements, please grant me an interview. I look forward to your early reply.

　　⑸May I discuss my qualifications more fully with you at some time you find convenient? Please call (021)632-8976 at any time .
