Job Application
May 22nd
Dear Mr. Cavendish,
I saw your advertisement in the local paper this evening，and I wonder if you would consider me for a job as a waiter this summer.
I am seventeen years old and at present I am studying English and economics. When I leave school, I hope to take a course in hotel management. During the school holidays last summer, I worked as a waiter at the Central Hotel. The headwaiter there, Mr. Macintosh, will be pleased to send you a recommendation for me.
I would prefer to work in your hotel in Filey because it is near my home. However, if there isn’t any job there for me, perhaps you could consider me for the Scarborough Hotel.
I would be pleased if you will send me information about the pay and conditions of the job to be offered. I will be free to begin work in the fourth week of July when the school holidays start.
Yours sincerely,
Peter Tuck

行文点评
这是一封典型的求职信。第一段开门见山，表明写信的目的是求职。同时，也注明了消息来源和应聘职位。第二段开始介绍求职者的情况，(注意：所写的情况最好能体现出你十分适合所应聘的职位)。信中第三段特别陈述了一个不情之请并说明原因。最后一段表明自己希望得到回复，并说明自己可以开始工作的具体时间。
这封信符合求职信的结构要求，语言简洁，语气礼貌大方。

求职信
亲爱的卡文迪斯先生：
我在今晚的地方报纸上看到了你们的广告，我想在这个夏天做一份服务生的工作，敬请考虑。
我十七岁，现在正在学习英文和经济学。毕业后，我希望能够学习酒店管理课程。去年暑假时，我在中央酒店作服务生。那儿的领班麦金托什先生会很乐意向您寄交一封关于我的推荐信。
我比较喜欢在您的费雷酒店工作，因为那儿离我家不远。但如果那儿没有我的工作机会，也许您可以考虑让我去斯卡伯勒酒店。
如果您能寄给我有关这份工作的薪水和工作环境的一些信息，我会非常高兴。我可以从七月的第四个星期开始工作，那时学校开始放假了。
彼得·塔克
