这句话的意思并不是要哗众取宠。所以，你应该要怎么表达自己的学习能力强呢？用事实或故事说明自己是个学习能力强的人。如果你有过目不忘的能力，要说清楚。如果你的老板让你记住在一个早上记住所有重要客户的名字，而你也办到了，也要把这件轶事说出来。这样会比“我的学习能力强”这句话更让人印象深刻。 3."I think outside the box" 3. “我能跳出思维的框框” Let's start with the irony of using a cliché to describe how creative you are. Seriously, though, if you are someone who thinks outside the box, why not do just that with your cover letter? 首先用这种陈词滥调的话来显示自己的创造力是很可笑的。说真的，如果你确实能够跳出思维的框框，何不直接在求职信里体现呢？ Your best bet here is to show — rather than write a sentence about — your inventiveness. Maybe you apply for your job in a creative way or provide an example of time when your ingenuity saved the day. Or, just prove it right off the bat by opening up your cover letter with a witty line that grab people's attention. 最佳的方法就是事实胜于雄辩。也许你用一种新颖的方法表达求职意向，或者给出一个你为公 司摆脱困境的例子。又或者直接用诙谐幽默的开头吸引读者的注意。4."I'm the best person for the job" 4. “我最适合这份工作” First things first, do you know every other applicant? Take it from someone who's lost out to a person with a decade more experience in a given sector: You can't make this assertion. 先说重要的，你了解其他的求职者吗？这是输给另外一个比自己多10年工作经验的人的教训：决不能说出这种武断的话。 Not only could there be someone who is in fact more qualified than you, but your prospective boss may also have additional considerations that you're unaware of. Maybe you're the person with a decade more experience, but the company is looking for someone greener because of budget constraints. Or perhaps you check all the right boxes — but the best person is actually in-house. 不仅是的确有人比你更有资格，你的未来雇主也会有你没有预料过的额外考量。也许你就是拥有比别人多10年工作经验的人，但公司也有可能因为公司的预算想雇佣职场新人。又或者你查看了所有的消息，发现最适合这份工作的人早已在公司里工作了。 "Best" is a subjective term, so stick to statements you know to be true. This would include all of the lines about how well-matched your experience is and why you're personally drawn to the organization. By the time someone finishes reading your cover letter, he or she should know that you're the best person. “最合适”是主观的判断，所以要注意言辞要客观真实。这就需要包含所有想匹配的工作经验以及为什么你会被录用。当别人读完你的求职信，他/她就知道你是最合适的。 5."This is exactly the kind of role I'm looking for" 5. “这正是我想找的工作。” OK, this statement means well. You're trying to show that you're here for the right reasons, that you're passionate about the company, that you're invested in the role, and so forth. 好吧，这句话还可以接受。你在尽力显示合适这份工作的理由，你对公司的热诚以及你对岗位的投入，等等。 But it doesn't have the impact you're going for. First, it can come off a little self-indulgent (i.e., that you're more focused on what the company can do for you than on what you can do for the company). Second, it's redundant. If you're applying for a job, let's hope it's what you're looking for! 但对你的目标没有多大用处。首先，有可能导致自我放纵的倾向（也就是说，你关注的更多在于公司能为你做的，而不是你能为公司所做的事）。其次，这很多余。如果你在求职，那就期待你所期待的吧！ Instead, shift your focus to discussing why you're the candidate the company is looking for. 相反，你应该把自己的注意力放在陈述自己应该被录用的原因。 Your cover letter is a chance to show why you're uniquely qualified for an open position. So, don't bury your potential in cliché cover lines — use the tips above to stand out from the pack. （责任编辑：晨鸿） |
