常說要找一份好工作，就先要寫一封好的求職信。若果你需要寫一封英文求職信，很多人最常用的做法，就是在互聯網上找一些樣板——改頭換面——換了自己的名字。這個方法在兩、三年前已是無往而不利的，然而，到了廿一世紀，這個傳統的方法也遭人唾棄了，因為雇主會覺得你毫無創意，只懂抄襲。

緊記不要在自己的求職信放入以下十個毒藥詞匯：

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

今時今日，求職信要求的是真誠，大公司要的不是一千個一萬個同一模擬出來的員工，而是一個有創意又懂規則的新時代青年。一封真正介紹你自己的求職信，才能吸引優良雇主的目光。

請看看外國專家提供的例子作參考：

"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."
