常说要找一份好工作，就先要写一封好的求职信。若果你需要写一封英文求职信，很多人最常用的做法，就是在互联网上找一些样板——改头换面——换了自己的名字。这个方法在两、三年前已是无往而不利的，然而，到了廿一世纪，这个传统的方法也遭人唾弃了，因为雇主会觉得你毫无创意，只懂抄袭。

紧记不要在自己的求职信放入以下十个毒药词汇：

l         Results-oriented professional

l         Cross-functional teams

l         More than [x] years of progressively responsible experience

l         Superior (or excellent) communication skills

l         Strong work ethic

l         Met or exceeded expectations

l         Proven track record of success

l         Works well with all levels of staff

l         Team player

l         Bottom-line orientation

今时今日，求职信要求的是真诚，大公司要的不是一千个一万个同一模拟出来的员工，而是一个有创意又懂规则的新时代青年。一封真正介绍你自己的求职信，才能吸引优良雇主的目光。

请看看外国专家提供的例子作参考：

"I'm a Marketing Researcher who's driven by curiosity about why people buy what they do. At XYZ Industries, I used consumer surveys and online-forum analysis to uncover the reasons why consumers chose our competitors over us; our sales grew twenty percent over the next six months as a result. I'm equally at home on sales calls or analyzing data in seclusion, and up to speed on traditional and new-millennium research tools and approaches. I'm fanatical about understanding our marketplace better every day, week and month -- and have helped my employers' brands grow dramatically as a result."
