求職信的排版重點

  偶然看到一本書教人家寫Cover letter,裡面說的排版重點真是出蟲意料。

Here are just a few of the more powerfuloptions available to you.
  • Adjust your margins so that the reader never has to read more thanfive inches from left to right across a page.
  • Never justify your right margin. (Always justify your left.)
  • Don’t use long paragraphs; they are overwhelming to the eye. (Thiswill help you write more succinctly, too.)
  • Indent sections with key ideas by using bullets, dashes, or asterisks toset them off (like these indented tips).
  • For important ideas, use bold, underlining, and UPPERCASE LETTERS.
  • For short sentences, try centering.
  • Use numerals (20) rather than spelling out numbers (twenty) whendescribing your accomplishments, to attract more attention. (Exception:Always spell out numbers that begin a sentence.)
  • Italics are hard to read; use them sparingly, if at all.
  • If your letter must run to two pages in length, end the first page in themiddle of a sentence to encourage the reader to read on to the secondpage.

裡面竟然說不要左右對齊,蟲蟲的天啊!果然東西文化大不同。
