應徵工作信（Job Application Letter）是 IELTS General Training Task 1 出現頻率最高的 formal 子題之一。題目典型形式：
You have seen an advertisement for a part-time position at a local hotel. Write a letter to the manager.
幾乎每年都有變體——應徵咖啡廳、夏令營輔導員、書店店員、行銷助理。語氣一律 formal——你跟對方沒見過面。
本篇假設你已經看過 Formal Letter 深度解析。
應徵信典型 bullet 結構
題目 bullet 幾乎固定這三項：
- say where you saw the advertisement — 你是從哪裡看到職缺
- explain why you are suitable for the job — 為什麼你適合
- say when you would be able to start — 你何時可以上工
考生常犯錯：把 bullet 1 寫成一行就跳過、bullet 2 寫成「I am hardworking and I love this job」這種空話。三個 bullet 字數應接近平均——每個 bullet 約 50 字。

題目：You have seen an advertisement for a part-time receptionist at a city hotel. Write a letter to the manager.
- say where you saw the advertisement
- explain why you are suitable
- say when you could start
Dear Sir or Madam,
[§1 目的 + bullet 1 來源] I am writing to apply for the position of part-time receptionist at the Riverside Hotel, which I came across on the Taipei Career Hub website on the 18th of April.
[§2 bullet 2 為何適合 — 具體經驗] I am currently a final-year hospitality student at Shih Chien University and have completed two summer internships at boutique hotels in Tainan, where I handled check-ins, guest enquiries, and basic bookkeeping. I am fluent in Mandarin and English, with intermediate Japanese, and I am confident I could manage the front desk during evening shifts effectively.
[§3 bullet 3 何時可上工 + CV] I would be available to commence work from the 5th of May and could comfortably cover up to twenty hours per week around my final classes. Please find attached my up-to-date CV for your consideration.
[§4 收尾] I would welcome the opportunity to attend an interview. I look forward to hearing from you in due course.
Yours faithfully, Lin Yu-hsuan
字數：162。三個 bullet 完整覆蓋，formal 語氣一致，用了 I am writing to apply, Please find attached, I look forward to hearing from you — 三個求職黃金句型。
台灣考生應徵信最常見錯誤
錯誤 1：吹噓但沒證據
寫 I am very hardworking and responsible — examiner 看到這種形容詞清單就扣分。改成具體事實：I have completed two summer internships at...。
錯誤 2：直接附件 Please see my CV
太突兀。標準 formal 寫法：Please find attached my up-to-date CV for your consideration.
錯誤 3：可上工日期含糊
I can start anytime soon → 太隨便。改成 I would be available to commence work from the 5th of May. — 給具體日期。
錯誤 4：結尾用 I really hope you will hire me
求職焦慮讀得出來，扣分。改成 I would welcome the opportunity to attend an interview. — 自信而禮貌。
自我練習
寫一封 160 字 formal 信應徵當地書店的兼職店員——你是大學生，週末可以上工，會中英日三語，曾在獨立書店打工兩個月。
