求职信 要发挥最大的效果，语气必须肯定、自信、有创意而不过分夸张，如能事先了解雇主的喜好，或其他人格特点，根据物以类聚的原理，求职信如果能迎合雇主的特点，求职的人一定可以比其他人占上风，获得面谈的机会。
注意下面句子中语气的不同：
A：I think that I should probably make a good ***** for you. 我想我可能成为贵公司的优秀的员工。
B：I am confident that my experience and references will show you that I can fulfill the particular requirements of your ***** position. 我想信我的经验和别人对我的推荐可以使您充分了解我符合贵公司*****一职的需要。

D：I feel quite certain that as a result of the course in filing which I completed at the ******** School of Business, I can install and operate efficiently a filing system for your organization. 我相信经过我在*******学校的********课程学习之后，我能够替贵公司设置并且操作一套档案分类系统。
