The

challenge

of

writing

a

powerful

cover

letter

(

附信

）

can

lead

job

candidates

to

search

endlessly

for

advice,

but

be

careful.

While

you

likely

will

find

some

valuable

advice,

you

may

come across a few tips that could mislead you.

“You

need

a

lengthy

cover

letter.”

This

probably

is

one

of

the

“bad

cover

letter

tips.”

Think

about

it

:

hiring

managers

have

piles

of

resumes

and

cover

letters

to

review.

If

yours

is

longer

than

the

rest,

it

might

not

get

read

at

all.

Aim

to

get

all

of

your

points

across

in

three

brief

paragraphs:

a

clear

introduction

that

lets

employer

know

which

job

you

are

applying

for

and

why

you

are

interested

in

the

position;

a

paragraph

that

includes

a

few

specific

examples

of

how

to

have

excelled

(

擅

长

）

in

past

roles

that

are

relevant

to

the

open

position;

and

a

concluding

paragraph

that

tells

employers

how

you

will

benefit

their

company

and

requests

a

future meeting.

“Your

cover

letter

is

less

important

than

your

resume.”

Some

hiring

managers

shove

(

随手

扔

）

cover

letters

to

the

side

，

but

most

do

not.

Because

you

never

know

what

type

of

hiring

manager

you

are

dealing

with,

it

is

best

to

submit

a

nice

cover

letter.

While

some

employers

place

less

emphasis

on

cover

letters,

others

decide

who

to

interview

based

on

them.

Remember

that the point of a cover letter is to tell employers something that makes them want to meet you.

36.

Why should job candidates be careful when searching for advice to write a cover letter?

A)

Some tips are not practical.

B)

Some tips could be misleading.

C)

It is impossible to get useful tips.

D)

It is difficult to find valuable tips.

37.

Why shouldn

’

t you write a lengthy cover letter?

A)

Hiring managers may not read it at all.

B)

Well-written cover letters may be read first.

C)

It is difficult to write a good long cover letter.

D)

You are unable to express your points clearly.

38.

According to the passage, the introductory paragraph of a cover letter should include

____________.

A)

your request for a job interview

B)

the position you are interested in

C)

some examples of your achievements

D)

your education background and degree
