英文简历和英文求职信常见问题
Yes, always. Even if the employers don’t specifically request a cover letter; send one! You can’t know whether a particular company values cover letters or not. To be on the safe side, always include one.
是的。一般如此。即使雇主对求职信没有特别要求，或你甚至不知道这家公司是否重视求职信。谨慎起见，你还是随附上求职信一封。

Focus on the employer’s needs rather than your own. The appearance should be clear and concise. It should contain job and skill related keywords. These keywords are important because employers will use search programmes to match these words with CVs stored in their database. If your CV has these keywords you could be considered. You can find these keywords by researching the company website and related job advertisements in your industry. Transferable skills are all the skills you have acquired from your previous jobs, schooling or day to day life that are relevant to what the new job requires. Your accomplishments are, especially, those strengths that match the requirements of the job; good references are important here.
关注雇主的需求，而不是自己的需求。整体外观需要清晰简洁。关键字中必须包含职位和技能。这些关键字很重要，因为雇主会在数据库中用程序对简历和关键词进行配对。你的简历中有这些关键词，你将会脱颖而出。你可以在他们的公司网站和你所在行业的相关招聘广告上找到这些关键词。可转换技能是指你在先前工作中、学习中和生活中获得的与现在新工作要求相符的技能。你的成就主要是指你的优点符合工作的需求；好的参照事件是非常重要的。
