Hunting for a job can be stressful, especially in a lackluster economy. But there's no reason to hurt your chances by making common mistakes:
1. Using a generic cover letter.
1. 使用千篇一律的求职信
If you're not customizing your letter for the company you're applying to and showing why you're especially interested in the firm, you're sending a bad message.
如果你在申请一家公司,却没有递上个性化的求职信,没有表现出自己特别中意这家公司,那么你就是在发出糟糕的讯息。
You're signaling to that potential employer that it's merely one of many companies you're applying to, says Richard LaPalme, an employment coach in Agawam, Mass.
马萨诸塞州阿格瓦姆(Agawam)的就业指导者拉帕姆(Richard LaPalme)说,实际上你向潜在雇主发出的信号是,这只是你申请的诸多公司中的一家。
