英文的承诺书格式范文带翻译汇总一

本身是主管， 简历 少说也看了几万封了，发现有一些通病是很多人会忽略的，而那些招聘网站或者 简历 中心也没有很专业的教你怎么写一封好的英文 简历 。

本人比较偏好word版的简历，因为目前收到最多的还是模板简历，这样看起来虽然清楚，但是在每天过滤不下100封简历的时候，附件中的简历还是比较令人期待的。

当然在国内中文简历比较重要，但是现在的趋势就是双语，有时候中文写的洋洋洒洒，英文确令人哭笑不得。通常 面试 外企，多少都会有老外 面试 ，一份得体的英文简历还是很重要的。

word的好处是有简历模式，而且也有简历的范本，适合新鲜人使用。

不鼓励用excel和pdf做简历。

英文简历用词

- 结了婚是married, 未婚就是unmarried? 偶尔看到有人写上single会倍感安慰

- 个性有闯劲，最好还是不要用aggressive，中文感觉还可以但其实英文里这个词是非常负面的，有暴躁的意思，不是优点。用energetic或者spirited比较好

- 英文和中文一样，标点符号后要空一格，不要所有句子挤在一起

- 很多人喜欢在写职责范围的时候写上be responsible for , 文法上来说是不需要的。这些事情是你已经做过的，直接说 responsible for all outgoing couriers 就可以了

- 英文有很多缩写，但是在像简历这种正式场合还是少用为妙，比如dont可以换成do not，千万不要用那些wanna, gonna来代替want to, going to

用招聘网站的模板可以比较轻松，不过切忌检查错别字，因为模板上的是没有拼写检查的

英文简历格式和页面

- 写完后一定要去页面设置去除多余的空白页面，或者是orphan和widow现象，也就是单句的句子在页面的最上面，最好是合并到前一页

- 记得调整字体和大小，有些人的简历除了不同颜色以外还用不同字体，就像是在不同网站上粘贴过来的，非常不专业。

- 简历最好不要超过3页，言语要精简，最忌讳像论文一样，但是没有重点

- word本身带有拼写检查，你这里满页都是红线，我这里看到的也都是红线

下面这十个毛病可是 简历 中不该犯的。对照检查一下你犯错了没有?如果有，要赶快改吧!

1、拷贝别人的 简历 格式;

2、个人信息(没人在乎你单身、结婚、拉提琴还是踢足球);

3、只有事实，没有表现(responsibilities/accomplishment/yourownrole);

4、不写日期(只列公司，不列日期);

5、怨恨字眼(leavereason:sexualharassment/firedmefornogoodreason);

6、工作经历太乱(换行业太频繁);

7、非职业化，不整洁(使用鲜艳的彩色纸/茶杯印);

8、太多不相关经历(只有你的家人才会关心你大学以前的事情);

9、只有 简历 ，没有coverletter。

10、没有适当的目标(着急找工作并不表示应该广种薄收);

自荐信属于求职信的一种。

好的英文求职信和英文简历是进入大企业特别是外企的“敲门砖”。因此，如何写好应聘的求职简历就显得尤为重要。

英文求职信的一般由五个组成部分：写信动机、自我介绍、能力（技能）介绍、结尾和附件。

写信动机：

通常求职信是针对报纸上、网上的或是其他途径的招聘广告而写的。因此，信中须首先提到时在何月何日的什么报纸上看到的信息、在什么网络平台看到的招聘广告，又或是是由朋友或介绍所介绍的等等。当然，有时写信人不知某机构、公司有工作机会，只是毛遂自荐，那么也需说明写求职信的缘由和目的。此外，需开门见山的点明应聘的职位或是希望承担的职务

自我介绍：

此部分应述明自己的年龄或出生年月、教育背景，尤其与应征职位有关的训练或教育科目、工作经验或特殊技能。如无实际经验，略述在学类似经验亦可。

能力（技能）介绍：

如果缺乏工作经历，可以将社会工作细节放在工作经历中，这样会填补工作经验少的缺陷。例如，在做团支书、学生会主席等社会工作时组织过什么活动，联系过什么事，参与过什么都可以一一罗列。

结尾：

求职信的结尾，应注意表达，珍惜工作机会和如果得到职位后将不遗余力的表现决心，希望招聘单位给予自己施展才华的机会等。此外，不要忘了注明正热切盼望对方的回复。

附件：

毕业证书、资格证书、获奖证明应列好表单，附于求职信后。

格式与态度:

写英文求职信，开头写每段第一句话时，要顶格写，一定不要空两格。这点很重要，请你注意;不要用开玩笑的口吻与对方套近乎，要严肃，认真地写。这能使对方感觉你很重视这件事情;简短介绍自己的专业与才能。重点写清楚你的能力可以满足对方公司的需要。

个人资料:

写英文求职信时，写信人应述明自己的年龄或出生年月，教育背景，尤其是和应征的职位有关的训练或教育科目、工作经验或特殊的技能；如无实际经验，告知对方你正在学习经验!

推荐自我:

写英文求职信时，需重点注意约定面试时间。一定要写清楚:我知道您很忙，我很感谢您能在百忙之中抽几分钟时间跟我见面并谈话。请放心，这几分钟您一定不会浪费的!因为我确定我的能力一定使贵公司达到目的。要自信!但不要过份夸大自己的能力或表现过份信心，尤其不要说出与事实不符的能力或特性来。

结尾与联系方式:

写英文求职信结尾时，需重点注意:不要等对方先打电话联系你，你应该在英文求职信中明确写出，你会在此期间打电话约对方见面，并告对方知具体联系时间;还要写明，在见面之前，若对方有什么问题需要了解的，可发email或打电话联系你。并写清楚你的联系方式。最后，再一次写明感谢他们抽时间看你的`个人简历，求职信。并感谢他们考虑你的应聘。

写英文求职信要点:

篇幅不易过长，简短为好;态度诚恳，不需华丽词汇;让对方感觉亲切，自信，实在即可;不要误看其他错误的写作方法，以免耽误了你的求职机会。

纸张的选用:

建议你用灰色，黄褐色或米色纸作最终打印信纸。要配合信封的颜色。

书写：

字体要写得整洁可辩，使用打字机把信打出来。具有专业感。

附邮票:

英语求职信内需附加邮票或回址信封。

语法:

准确无误的语法，标点拼写使读信人感到舒畅。错误的语法或拼写则十分明显，一望即知。且不可把收信人的姓名或公司地址拼错了。

实例假设：

你叫李平，你从报上得知某公司欲招聘一名英语翻译，请你给该公司经理写一份求职信，你的个人资料如下：

1.简况：姓名，李平；年龄，30岁；身高，1.80米；健康状况，良好；业余爱好，游泳、唱歌、跳舞。

我们每个人都有过那样的时代，开始想要拒绝父母，想要成为自己，只是在那个年龄我们不曾意识到，无论怎样我们都是父母眼里永远的孩子，需要疼爱需要呵护。

一个不美满的结局，一个永不可能实现的心愿，一个父亲伟大的心，一个儿子深切的忏悔。

很感人，很动人，几乎让人流泪。

the board meeting had come to an end. bob started to stand up and jostled the table, spilling his coffee over his notes. "how embarrassing. i am getting so clumsy in my old age."

everyone had a good laugh, and soon we were all telling stories of our most embarrassing moments. it came around to frank who sat quietly listening to the others. someone said, "come on, frank. tell us your most embarrassing moment."

frank laughed and began to tell us of his childhood. "i grew up in san pedro. my dad was a fisherman, and he loved the sea. he had his own boat, but it was hard making a living on the sea. he worked hard and would stay out until he caught enough to feed the family. not just enough for our family, but also for his mom and dad and the other kids that were still at home."

类似的故事看过不少，可是仍然没有办法不揪心。眼睁睁地看着四岁的儿子消失在眼前，对于一个父亲来说，最痛苦的事莫过于此。可是谁能给他不牺牲的理由？

短小精悍，也很容易懂。

there was once a bridge which spanned a large river. during most of the day the bridge sat with its length running up and down the river paralleled with the banks, allowing ships to pass thru freely on both sides of the bridge. but at certain times each day, a train would come along and the bridge would be turned sideways across the river, allowing a train to cross it.

a switchman sat in a small shack on one side of the river where he operated the controls to turn the bridge and lock it into place as the train crossed. one evening as the switchman was waiting for the last train of the day to come, he looked off into the distance thru the dimming twilight and caught sight of the trainlights. he stepped to the control and waited until the train was within a prescribed distance when he was to turn the bridge. he turned the bridge into position, but, to his horror, he found the locking control did not work. if the bridge was not securely in position it would wobble back and forth at the ends when the train came onto it, causing the train to jump the track and go crashing into the river. this would be a passenger train with many people aboard. he left the bridge turned across the river, and hurried across the bridge to the other side of the river where there was a lever switch he could hold to operate the lock manually. he would have to hold the lever back firmly as the train crossed. he could hear the rumble of the train now, and he took hold of the lever and leaned backward to apply his weight to it, locking the bridge. he kept applying the pressure to keep the mechanism locked. many lives depended on this man‘s strength.

then, coming across the bridge from the direction of his control shack, he heard a sound that made his blood run cold. "daddy, where are you?" his four-year-old son was crossing the bridge to look for him. his first impulse was to cry out to the child, "run! run!" but the train was too close; the tiny legs would never make it across the bridge in time. the man almost left his lever to run and snatch up his son and carry him to safety. but he realized that he could not get back to the lever. either the people on the train or his little son must die. he took a moment to make his decision.

the train sped safely and swiftly on its way, and no one aboard was even aware of the tiny broken body thrown mercilessly into the river by the onrushing train. nor were they aware of the pitiful figure of the sobbing man, still clinging tightly to the locking lever long after the train had passed. they did not see him walking home more slowly than he had ever walked: to tell his wife how their son had brutally died.

now if you comprehend the emotions which went this man‘s heart, you can begin to understand the feelings of our father in heaven when he sacrificed his son to bridge the gap between us and eternal life. can there be any wonder that he caused the earth to tremble and the skies to darken when his son died? how does he feel when we speed along thru life without giving a thought to what was done for us thru jesus christ?

生活就是一面镜子，你对它微笑，它也对你微笑；你对它哭泣，它也对你哭泣。

可能有些老套。但是这是英文版的。

long ago in a small, far away village, there was place known as the house of 1000 mirrors. a small, happy little dog learned of this place and decided to visit. when he arrived, he bounced happily up the stairs to the doorway of the house. he looked through the doorway with his ears lifted high and his tail wagging as fast as it could. to his great surprise, he found himself staring at 1000 other happy little dogs with their tails wagging just as fast as his. he smiled a great smile, and was answered with 1000 great smiles just as warm and friendly. as he left the house, he thought to himself, "this is a wonderful place. i will come back and visit it often." in this same village, another little dog, who was not quite as happy as the first one, decided to visit the house. he slowly climbed the stairs and hung his head low as he looked into the door. when he saw the 1000 unfriendly looking dogs staring back at him, he growled at them and was horrified to see 1000 little dogs growling back at him. as he left, he thought to himself, "that is a horrible place, and i will never go back there again."

all the faces in the world are mirrors. what kind of reflections do you see in the faces of the people you meet?

这篇故事里，一个父亲，不仅原谅了杀害儿子的凶手，而且希望能收凶手为养子，让他做自己的继承人。

再不可思议的事情，也有它的理由。

如果连这都可以原谅，那么这世间再没有任何事让你记恨。

a letter written to a man on death row by the father of the man whom the man on death row had killed:

you are probably surprised that i, of all people, am writing a letter to you, but i ask you to read it in its entirety and consider its request seriously. as the father of the man whom you took part in murdering, i have something very important to say to you.

i forgive you. with all my heart, i forgive you. i realize it may be hard for you to believe, but i really do. at your trial, when you confessed to your part in the events that cost my son his life and asked for my forgiveness, i immediately granted you that forgiving love from my heart. i can only hope you believe me and will accept my forgiveness.

but this is not all i have to say to you. i want to make you an offer -- i want you to become my adopted child. you see, my son who died was my only child, and i now want to share my life with you and leave my riches to you. this may not make sense to you or anyone else, but i believe you are worth the offer. i have arranged matters so that if you will receive my offer of forgiveness, not only will you be pardoned for your crime, but you also will be set free from your imprisonment, and your sentence of death will be dismissed. at that point, you will become my adopted child and heir to all my riches.

i realize this is a risky offer for me to make to you -- you might be tempted to reject my offer completely -- but i make it to you without reservation.

also, i realize it may seem foolish to make such an offer to one who cost my son his life, but i now have a great love and an unchangeable forgiveness in my heart for you.

finally, you may be concerned that once you accept my offer you may do something to cause you to be denied your rights as an heir to my wealth. nothing could be further from the truth. if i can forgive you for your part in my son‘s death, i can forgive you for anything. i know you never will be perfect, but you do not have to be perfect to receive my offer. besides, i believe that once you have accepted my offer and begin to experience the riches that will come to you from me, that your primary (though not always) response will be gratitude and loyalty.

some would call me foolish for my offer to you, but i wish for you to call me your father.

sincerely,

the father of jesus

bob richards, the former pole-vault champion, shares a moving story about a skinny young boy who loved football with all his heart.

practice after practice, he eagerly gave everything he had. but being half the size of the other boys, he got absolutely nowhere. at all the games, this hopeful athlete sat on the bench and hardly ever played.

this teenager lived alone with his father, and the two of them had a very special relationship. even though the son was always on the bench, his father was always in the stands cheering. he never missed a game. this young man was still the smallest of the class when he entered high school. but his father continued to encourage him but also made it very clear that he did not have to play football if he didn‘t want to.

but the young man loved football and decided to hang in there he was determined to try his best at every practice, and perhaps he‘d get to play when he became a senior. all through high school he never missed a practice nor a game but remained a bench-warmer all four years. his faithful father was always in the stands, always with words of encouragement for him. when the young man went to college, he decided to try out for the football team as a "walk-on." everyone was sure he could never make the cut, but he did.

the coach admitted that he kept him on the roster because he always puts his heart and soul to every practice, and at the same time, provided the other members with the spirit and hustle they badly needed.

the news that he had survived the cut thrilled him so much that he rushed to the nearest phone and called his father. his father shared his excitement and was sent season tickets for all the college games. this persistent young athlete never missed practice during his four years at college, but he never got to play in a game.

it was the end of his senior football season, and as he trotted onto the practice field shortly before the big playoff game, the coach met him with a telegram. the young man read the telegram and he became deathly silent. swallowing hard, he mumbled to the coach, "my father died this morning. is it all right if i miss practice today?" the coach put his arm gently around his shoulder and said, "take the rest of the week off, son. and don‘t even plan to come back to the game on saturday."

saturday arrived, and the game was not going well. in the third quarter,when the team was ten points behind, a silent young man quietly slipped into the empty locker room and put on his football gear. as he ran onto the sidelines, the coach and his players were astounded to see their faithful teammate back so soon. "coach, please let me play. i‘ve just got to play today," said the young man. the coach pretended not to hear him. there was no way he wanted his worst player in this close playoff game. but the young man persisted, and finally feeling sorry for the kid, the coach gave in. "all right," he said."you can go in." before long, the coach, the players and everyone in the stands could not believe their eyes. this little unknown, who had never played before was doing everything right. the opposing team could not stop him. he ran, he passed, blocked, and tackled like a star. his team began to triumph. the score was soon tied. in the closing seconds of the game, this kid intercepted a pass and ran all the way for the winning touchdown. the fans broke loose. his teammates hoisted him onto their shoulders. such cheering you never heard.

finally, after the stands had emptied and the team had showered and left the locker room, the coach noticed that this young man was sitting quietly in the corner all alone the coach came to him and said, " kid, i can‘t believe it. you were fantastic! tell me what got into you? how did you do it?"

he looked at the coach, with tears in his eyes, and said, "well, you knew my dad died, but did you know that my dad was blind?" the young man swallowed hard and forced a smile, "dad came to all my games, but today was the first time he could see me play, and i wanted to show him i could do it!"

like the athlete‘s father, god is always there cheering for us. he‘s always reminding us to go on. he‘s even offering us his hand for he knows what is best, and is willing to give us what we need and not simply what we want. god has never missed a single game. what a joy to know that life is meaningful if lived for the highest. live for him for he‘s watching us in the game of life!

the park bench was deserted as i sat down to read beneath the long, straggly branches of an old willow tree. disillusioned by life with good reason to frown, for the world was intent on dragging me down.

and if that weren‘t enough to ruin my day, a young boy out of breath approached me, all tired from play. he stood right before me with his head tilted down and said with great excitement, "look what i found!"

in his hand was a flower, and what a pitiful sight, with its petals all worn - not enough rain, or too little light. wanting him to take his dead flower and go off to play, i faked a small smile and then shifted away.

but instead of retreating he sat next to my side and placed the flower to his nose and declared with surprise, "it sure smells pretty and it‘s beautiful, too. that‘s why i picked it; here, it‘s for you."

the weed before me was dying or dead. not vibrant of colors, orange, yellow or red. but i knew i must take it, or he might never leave. so i reached for the flower, and replied, "just what i need."

but instead of him placing the flower in my hand, he held it mid-air without reason or plan. it was then that i noticed for the very first time, that weed-toting boy could not see: he was blind.

i heard my voice quiver, tears shone like the sun. as i thanked him for picking the very best one. "you‘re welcome," he smiled, and then ran off to play, unaware of the impact he‘d had on my day.

i sat there and wondered how he managed to see a self-pitying woman beneath an old willow tree. how did he know of my self-indulged plight? perhaps from his heart, he‘d been blessed with true sight.

through the eyes of a blind child, at last i could see, the problem was not with the world; the problem was me. and for all of those times i myself had been blind, i vowed to see beauty, and appreciate every second that‘s mine.

and then i held that wilted flower up to my nose and breathed in the fragrance of a beautiful rose and smiled as that young boy, another weed in his hand about to change the life of an unsuspecting old man.

总有一天，算计别人的时候，会算到自己的头上。

故事有些小小的幽默，并且意味深长。

a great and wise man once called one of his workmen to him saying, "go into the far country and build for me a house. the decisions of planning and of actual construction will be yours, but remember, i shall come to accept your work for a very special friend of mine."

and so the workman departed with a light heart for his field of labor. material of all kinds was plentiful here, but the workman had a mind of his own. "surely," he thought, "i know my business. i can use a bit of inferior materials here and cheat on my workmanship a little there, and still make the finished work look good. only i will know that what i have built has weaknesses."

and so, at last the work was completed and the workman reported back to the great and wise man. "very good," he said. "now remember that i wanted you to use only the finest materials and craftsmanship in this house because i wanted to make present of it——my friend, you are the one i had you build it for. it is all yours."

how much like man. he comes to earth a stranger. he has his free agency. he may build as he likes. but on the morning of his resurrection he will receive what he has built for an eternal home and habitation.

attitude is everything

by francie baltazar-schwartz

jerry was the kind of guy you love to hate. he was always in a good mood and always had something positive to say. when someone would ask him how he was doing, he would reply, "if i were any better, i would be twins!"

he was a unique manager because he had several waiters who had followed him around from restaurant to restaurant. the reason the waiters followed jerry was because of his attitude. he was a natural motivator. if an employee was having a bad day, jerry was there telling the employee how to look on the positive side of the situation.

seeing this really made me curious, so one day i went up to jerry and asked him, "i don‘t get it! you can‘t be a positive person all of the time. how do you do it?" jerry replied, "each morning i wake up and say to myself, jerry, you have two choices today. you can choose to be in a good mood or you can choose to be in a bad mood.‘ i choose to be in a good mood. each time something bad happens, i can choose to be a victim or i can choose to learn from it. i choose to learn from it. every time someone comes to me complaining, i can choose to accept their complaining or i can point out the positive side of life. i choose the positive side of life."

"yeah, right, it‘s not that easy," i protested.

"yes it is," jerry said. "life is all about choices. when you cut away all the junk, every situation is a choice. you choose how you react to situations. you choose how people will affect your mood. you choose to be in a good mood or bad mood. the bottom line: it‘s your choice how you live life."

i reflected on what jerry said. soon thereafter, i left the restaurant industry to start my own business. we lost touch, but often thought about him when i made a choice about life instead of reacting to it.

several years later, i heard that jerry did something you are never supposed to do in a restaurant business: he left the back door open one morning and was held up at gunpoint by three armed robbers. while trying to open the safe, his hand, shaking from nervousness, slipped off the combination. the robbers panicked and shot him. luckily, jerry was found relatively quickly and rushed to the local trauma center. after 18 hours of surgery and weeks of intensive care, jerry was released from the hospital with fragments of the bullets still in his body.

i saw jerry about six months after the accident. when i asked him how he was, he replied, "if i were any better, i‘d be twins. wanna see my scars?"

i declined to see his wounds, but did ask him what had gone through his mind as the robbery took place. "the first thing that went through my mind was that i should have locked the back door," jerry replied. "then, as i lay on the floor, i remembered that i had two choices: i could choose to live, or i could choose to die. i chose to live.

"weren‘t you scared? did you lose consciousness?" i asked. jerry continued, "the paramedics were great. they kept telling me i was going to be fine. but when they wheeled me into the emergency room and i saw the expressions on the faces of the doctors and nurses, i got really scared. in their eyes, i read, ‘he‘s a dead man. " i knew i needed to take action."

"what did you do?" i asked.

"well, there was a big, burly nurse shouting questions at me," said jerry. "she asked if i was allergic to anything. ‘yes,‘ i replied. the doctors and nurses stopped working as they waited for my reply.. i took a deep breath and yelled, ‘bullets!‘ over their laughter, i told them, ‘i am choosing to live. operate on me as if i am alive, not dead."

jerry lived thanks to the skill of his doctors, but also because of his amazing attitude. i learned from him that every day we have the choice to live fully. attitude, after all, is everything.

从这篇文章里面，我至少感受到两点：第一，人的潜力是无穷的，很多时候你认为自己做不到的事情，其实可以。就像一些看似根深蒂固的习惯，其实可以改变。第二，正如文中所说，言语的伤害有时候比身体的伤害更严重，这个道理谁都懂，但是文中所用的比喻真的太绝妙。

the fence

there was a little boy with a bad temper. his father gave him a bag of nails and told him that every time he lost his temper, to hammer a nail in the back fence. the first day the boy had driven 37 nails into the fence. then it gradually dwindled down. he discovered it was easier to hold his temper than to drive those nails into the fence. finally the day came when the boy didn‘t lose his temper at all. he told his father about it and the father suggested that the boy now pull out one nail for each day that he was able to hold his temper. the days passed and the young boy was finally able to tell his father that all the nails were gone. the father took his son by the hand and led him to the fence. he said, "you have done well, my son, but look at the holes in the fence. the fence will never be the same. when you say things in anger, they leave a scar just like this one. you can put a knife in a man and draw it out. it won‘t matter how many times you say i‘m sorry, the wound is still there. a verbal wound is as bad as a physical one. friends are a very rare jewel, indeed. they make you smile and encourage you to succeed. they lend an ear, they share a word of praise, and they always want to open their hearts to us.

a grandmother and a little girl whose face was sprinkled with bright red freckles spent the day at the zoo.

the children were waiting in line to get their cheeks painted by a local artist who was decorating them with tiger paws.

"you‘ve got so many freckles, there‘s no place to paint!" a boy in the line cried.

embarrassed, the little girl dropped her head. her grandmother knelt down next to her. "i love your freckles," she said.

"not me," the girl replied.

"well, when i was a little girl i always wanted freckles" she said, tracing her finger across the child‘s cheek. "freckles are beautiful!"

the girl looked up. "really?" "of course," said the grandmother. "why, just name me one thing that‘s prettier than freckles."

the little girl peered into the old woman‘s smiling face. "wrinkles," she answered softly.
