（五）求職信的語氣
求職信要發揮昀好的效果，語氣必須肯定、自信、有創意而不過分夸張，如能事先洞察雇主的喜好或其他人格特性，根據物以類聚的原理，使求職信配合雇主的個性，求職者一定可以比其他人擁有更大優勢，獲得面談的機會。比較下列各句語氣上的不同。
1. I think that I should probably make a good bookkeeper for you.
我想我可能會成為貴公司的好簿記員。
2. I am confident that my experience and references will show you that I can fulfill the particular requirements of your bookkeeping position.

我相信我的經驗和推薦人可以告訴您，我具備貴公司簿記員一職所要求的素質。

3. I recently completed a course in filing at the Crosby School of Business. I am competent not only to install a filing system that will fulfill the needs of your organization, but I am also well qualified to operate it efficiently.

昀近我在克洛斯比商業補習班讀完了一門檔案處理的課程，我自信不僅可以設置一套檔案分類系統滿足您的要求，而且可以有效地操作它。

4. I feel quite certain that as a result of the course in filing which I completed at the Crosby School of Business, I can install and operate efficiently a filing system for your organization.

我相信在克洛斯比商業實習班修完一門課后，我能夠替貴公司設置并操作一套檔案分類系統。
第一句顯得語氣太弱，寫信的人顯得有點羞怯；第二句有特殊風格；第三句太過自信；第四句，作者比較謙虛。
Chapter 9  Job Interviews
9.1 Preparation
Make a good impression at your interview by doing a little homework beforehand.
Research the Company and the Position
The more you know about the company and the job you are applying for, the better you will
appear in the interview. An interviewer will be impressed by your interest and motivation, and
you will be able to explain what you can do for the company.
Find out as much key information as you can about the company, its products and its customers.
If possible, talk to people who work at the company. There may be other sources of information
on the Web, especially if the company is publicly traded.
Search for the following:

.  
Office locations

.  
Products and services

.  
Customers 

.  
Competitors 

.  
Philosophy 

.  
History 

.  
Recent news

.  
Financial info, including salary and stock

Prepare for the Actual Interview
.  
Practice your answers to common questions. Likewise, prepare a list of questions to ask the employer. Most interviews follow this pattern: First, you answer questions about your experience and qualifications, then you ask questions about the job.

.  
Rehearse your interview with a friend. You should be able to convey all pertinent information about yourself in 15 minutes. Tape yourself to check your diction, speed and body language.

.  
Prepare your interview materials before you leave. Bring several copies of your resume,

a list of references, and, if appropriate, any work samples. Make sure they are all up-to-date.

.  Dress professionally and comfortably. You will be judged in some respects by what you wear. When in doubt, dress conservatively.

For women:
.  A straight-forward business suit is best.

.  Wear sensible pumps.

.  Be moderate with make-up and perfume.

.  Wear simple jewelry.

.  Hair and fingernails should be well-groomed.

For men:
.  A clean, ironed shirt and conservative tie are a must.

.  A simple jacket or business suit is a good idea as well.

.  Shoes should be polished.

.  Face should be clean-shaven; facial hair should be neatly trimmed.

.  Hair and fingernails should be well-groomed.

. Use cologne or after-shave sparingly. Bring pen and notepad to jot down any information you may need to remember (but do not take notes during the interview).
