4.2. Сопроводительное письмо (Cover letter = Application letter)
Сопроводительное письмо – это текст, помогающий соискателю представить себя работодателю. При составлении послания необходимо учитывать, что оно должно быть коротким и ёмким, а его формат допускает мало отклонений от общепринятой практики официальной переписки.
1. АДРЕС И ДАТА
В самом начале письма (в правом верхнем углу) указывается обратный адрес и дата. Ниже с левой стороны пишется адрес компании, в которую направляется письмо. Например,
14 Gorkogo Str.
Samara 443001
Russia
25 November 2014
20 Lombard Str.
London W2 4RH
Great Britain
Над адресом компании, в которую пишете, можно написать имя лица, к которому обращаетесь, должность и название организации. Например,
Mrs. Parker
Personnel Manager
Gurney Inc.
20 Lombard Str.
London W2 4RH
Great Britain
2. ПРИВЕТСТВИЕ
При составлении документа следует учитывать, что послание к конкретному лицу обратит на себя больше внимания. Имя человека, отвечающего за подбор персонала, можно узнать на сайте компании или у секретаря. Например,
Dear Mr. Gilbert,
Некоторые работодатели предпочитают под приветствием видеть подзаголовок, указывающий должность, на которую вы претендуете.
Пример: APPLICATION FOR SENIOR STRUCTURAL DESIGNER
3. ОСНОВНОЙ ТЕКСТ
Основная часть письма, как правило, состоит из 4-х абзацев и определяет ваши возможности и предшествующие результаты, подтверждающие вашу полезность на искомой должности. Правильно составленное письмо создает впечатление, что вы идеально подходите на данную вакансию.
Вводный абзац (вступление) – Introduction.
Начинать письмо эффективнее всего с объяснения того, почему вы обращаетесь именно к данному лицу. Возможно, это будет напоминание о предшествующей встрече, предварительном телефонном разговоре или некая информация, заставившая вас написать (например, объявление в газете или на сайте).
Пример: I am writing to apply for the position of an architect which was advertised last month in the Independent.
Или: Please accept my application for the role of Civil/Structural Engineer as advertised on seek.com on 25 November.
Второй абзац. Образование, опыт работы – Education and Work Experience.
Кратко обоснуйте (а не просто укажите), как ваше образование и опыт работы подходят для предлагаемой вакансии. Остановитесь на определенном пункте, перечисленном в резюме, или покажите, как тот или иной курс расширил круг ваших умений, если вы являетесь молодым специалистом. Также можно коротко указать, почему вы заинтересованы в этой должности и работе на данную компанию.
Пример: My background in this field includes working in the bridge and tunnel sectors, both areas that your job advertisement said a candidate must have experience in. I have extensive knowledge of materials, methods and the tools involved in construction, and also have considerable understanding of design techniques and principles involved in production of technical plans. With my present employer I have a well deserved reputation for getting all tasks given to me done on time and within budget. I have a track record of conversing confidently with customers and would also like to mention the great pride I take in my work. For me it would be an honour to be a part of and contribute to a company like yours which is known for its talented workforce and high standards.
Третий абзац. Навыки и умения – Key Skills, Attributes.
Здесь пойдет речь о ваших навыках, которые необходимы для работы на данной должности. Чем конкретнее вы будете, тем лучше. Фразы типа «знание компьютера», «аналитический склад ума» ничего не говорят о пользе, которую вы можете принести организации. Вы должны указать причину, по которой необходимо рассмотреть вашу кандидатуру.
Пример: From your advertisement, I can see that you are looking for candidates who have excellent skills that are relevant to civil engineers. I have a thorough knowledge of the processes of construction in ground engineering projects, water systems and also excellent interpersonal and communication skills.
Заключительный абзац – Conclusion.
В конце письма попытайтесь инициировать контакт. Кроме того, будет вежливо поблагодарить работодателя за время, потраченное на рассмотрение вашей кандидатуры.
Пример: I shall be pleased to provide any further information you may need and hope I may be given the opportunity of an interview.
Или: I appreciate your time reviewing my application and I look forward to hearing from you in respect of an interview.
4. ЗАКЛЮЧИТЕЛЬНАЯ ФРАЗА
Слева под письмом пишется заключительное клише:
Yours faithfully, (если в обращении не было названо имя)
Yours sincerely, (если в обращении указывали имя)
Так, например, поскольку в нашем обращении мы писали Dear Mr. Gilbert, то нам в качестве заключительной фразы следует выбрать Yours sincerely.
Ниже заключительной фразы пишется имя кандидата на должность:
Yours sincerely,
Patrick Grace

Какое из представленных ниже писем содержит ошибки? В чем они заключаются?
Dear Mr. Skinner,
ASSISTANT TO MANAGING ENGINEER
I was interested to see your advertisement in today’s Daily Telegraph and would like to be considered for this post.
I am a self-motivated Structural Engineer with a Bachelor of Civil Engineering (Hons) and 3 years experience in design and estimation teams on a range of projects. In 2012 I achieved Chartered Professional Engineer status from Engineers Australia. Working as a structural engineer at Robertson Construction I have worked on many projects, including: the Mileville sewer, the Walker motorway, several apartment complexes, Travalltown iron mine and Greenfields copper mine. My skills in modelling and designing projects using AutoCAD, 12D and Space Gass, and my focus on getting a job done well and on time, have resulted in all projects being completed successfully and with very positive feedback from managers and clients.
I have a thorough knowledge of the processes of construction in ground engineering projects and mining and also excellent interpersonal and communication skills. My organisational and multitasking abilities are advanced.
Please let me know if you would like more information about my projects. I hope to hear from you soon and to be given the opportunity to present myself at an interview.
Yours sincerely,
Jean Carson

Dear Sir/Madam,
I would like to apply for the post of an assistant to a managing engineer advertised on the web-page.
I’m hard working, dutiful, goal-oriented, sociable and creative. I’m 26 years old and in excellent health. At the University of London I specialized in general structural engineering and was awarded a Master’s degree for my thesis on “Nano-glass in Construction”. I thoroughly enjoy working on research particularly where the topic involves building materials.
After leaving the University I accepted a post of a teacher at a local college. I love working with people of various backgrounds and get on well with everyone. In this connection I was glad to share my knowledge with students and to help them in a very practical way.
Although I have no experience in engineering work, I’m familiar with all types of duties that I’ll have to perform as my father is a civil engineer. Also, I’ve had an opportunity to teach engineering subjects and know all construction techniques.
I’m not married and would be willing to undertake the training courses in my spare time. I hope that you will grant me the opportunity of an interview.
Yours faithfully,
Paul Peggy

Собеседование
Собеседование на английском практически не отличается от обычного собеседования на русском языке и предполагает обсуждение деталей вашего опыта и ваши намерения. Главная задача на собеседовании - найти общий язык с интервьюером, показать себя уверенным и квалифицированным специалистом, готовым внести свой вклад в развитие компании.
Несколько советов успешному кандидату:
1. Приветствие на английском
-Hello/Good morning/Good afternoon, I am Nikolai Matveev.
-Hi, I am Noel Hanson.
-Nice to meet you!
-Nice to meet you, too!
2. Ответ на каждый вопрос не должен занимать больше 2 минут. Краткость - один из показателей ваших деловых способностей. Дайте ответ и попытайтесь сразу объяснять мотивы своих действий и причины изменений в вашей карьере, не заставляя собеседника спрашивать вас «Почему?».
3. Не бойтесь переспросить, если вы не поняли вопроса, сказав:
Sorry? (с восходящей интонацией)
Sorry, I didn’t quite understand.
Sorry, could you repeat that, please.
Sorry, what do you mean by…?
4. Ведите себя уверенно. Даже если вы не можете четко объясниться на английском сейчас, заверьте собеседника, что вы приложите все усилия, и через 1-2 месяца будете чувствовать себя комфортно, общаясь на английском.
5. Улыбайтесь. Особенно если вы на собеседовании с носителем языка.
Часто задаваемые вопросы на собеседовании на английском языке:
