Skills for grasping the first sentence of a cover letter

The first sentence of a cover letter is the most important and difficult to write. In fact, there are a lot of useful ways to explain from which you can learn about the company's recruitment information, or describe your most favorable conditions, however, the safest way is to introduce yourself by referring to the content of the advertisement. The first sentence (not including the title) has two functions: one is to attract the recipient to read your letter, and the other is to guide the other party to naturally enter the question you have highlighted without feeling suddenly.

　　To sum up, the first sentence of a cover letter has the following forms:

(1) overview. Summarize your most important job qualifications and work abilities in one sentence.

(2) nominate. A person who is recommended to seek a job from the employer and is familiar with and respected by the employer (remember to write your name with a surname and you can refer to your title or title later, it can also be called "Mr" or "Ms ").

(3) question form. Put forward a question about the needs and objectives of employers, and then express your sincere hope that you can help them achieve their goals.

(4) praise. Praising the recent significant achievements or significant changes made by employers, and then expressing their desire to work for them. But remember not to be overly enthusiastic.

(5) Application Form. Shows the ways in which you can view the recruitment advertisement of the employer and make sure that your conditions basically meet the requirements of the advertisement.

(6) originality. Start with a novel sentence that shows your talent in some aspects, but the job you apply for must be of the kind that requires a great deal of imagination, such as advertising text, graphic design, horizontal dressing, industrial design, art director, etc.

　　The following examples are the "first sentence" for your reference:

□Mr. Ouyang from your marketing department told me that you need a competent market investigator.

□If you need a secretary who can enter 75 words and 125 words in stenographer every minute, please call.

□After four years of mechanical and electrical courses, I am confident that I can effectively serve your company.

□Your personal experience and educational level are in line with the recruitment advertisement published by your company on the ×× daily.

□I wish to work in your company. My major is international finance.

□Your company's recent performance announcement, and the high profitability is the review of your colleagues. I am eager to work for your company.

In a cover letter, do not describe your past experiences one by one, because the other party is only interested in the content related to the job application. If you have had a lot of success in your experience, try to let the other party know. Few employers believe that what you say is "definitely competent" or "sufficient". You must select one or two instances to fully explain, make the other Party feel that the achievements you listed are indeed justified and trustworthy. Otherwise, the first sentence would be less of the above two.

The name of a cover letter is also very important. If you can know the name and title or title of the other party, writing in the cover letter will often produce unexpected results. Because most supervisors are sensitive to their own streets.
