整個信在內容、英文方面沒有明顯漏洞。但是呢,實際上效果不佳,因為:
a).
一般老板首先會看,這個套磁信和我有什么關系呢?你介紹了一通自己,我知道你很厲害,但是你熟悉我這個實驗室么?知道我這里是做什么的么?你的技能和知識對我的實驗室有什么幫助啊?通篇沒有提到和我有關的東西,為什么我要花時間看你的附件CV啊,刪除!
b). 博士生的話,可以提training
opportunity,本來博士就是一個訓練過程;但是博士后呢,老板一般是期望你召之即來、來之能戰,另外,為什么老板需要花錢雇傭你來HELP YOU
ADVANCE GREATLY或者IMPROVE YOURSELF呢?
c).
最后一個問題是,從老板的角度來講,找博士后其實是賣方市場,優秀博士畢業生旁邊經常就有老板求著說,到我這邊來做博士后吧,能量大的老板可能直接就給了tenure
track position。老板好不容易弄到的研究基金,當然希望能夠找到個高手博士后。即使你的水平就那么多,也不能做出begging狀,所以,要小心使用這個詞
if you can give/offer me a chance. 有水平的話,架子還是需要擺一擺的;水平不夠擺架子的話,也別低三下四。
其實,不論是博士生或者博士后申請,套磁可以很簡單直白的,特別是能夠做到對你套磁的老板的組比較熟悉,讓老板給你回信問細節,那就達到目的了。
來看2個正面的例子:
下面這封離開模板千里,但是我直接打電話問他的情況了,其中的一個關鍵是:他看了我研究組的網站,知道我的組做什么,賣點是什么。

Dear Dr XXXX,
I am a student at XXXXX with a major in XXXX. I am a master honor student
and will be graating this December.
I am planning to attend graate school in XXXXX, with a focus on XXXXX. I
have been exploring XXXX graate programs when I am working on XXXX project,
and I am particularly interested in your research interest, XXXX.
I hope you don’t mind my getting in touch, but I’d like to inquire whether
you are currently accepting PhD students. If you are, would you willing to talk
to me a bit more by email. I have explored your website in detail, and it seems
like an excellent fit for me because of its emphasis on XXXX.
I know you’re very busy so I appreciate any time you can reply me. Thanks
very much,
Sincerely,

再來看個印度學生的套磁信,信件寫的很感人,但是可能印度IIT的統一模板就是這個,因為差不多到了每年某個時候,我就可以收到一大堆這種架構的信。其實內容還是很勾人的呢。
Dear Professor XXXXX,
I read your paper 'XXXXXXXXXXXXX' and the experience was quite overwhelming
as well as enriching.
(你看,我知道你的亮點文章,其實誰知道看沒看呢。)
I am a pre-final year undergraate student at Indian Institute of
Technology (IIT) XXXX, India pursuing my B.S-M.S Dual degree in XXXX. While
browsing through your profile, I came to know about your Research work.
I have had quite a few research experiences in past which include research
internships with Princeton University (U.S.A), IBM research (India) and
University of Greifswald (Germany).
(牛校走過一番啊,營造出哄搶氣氛:你不要我,有的是人要我呢。)
I wish to pursue a research project under your guidance/or otherwise would
be glad even if I 買粉絲uld assist you in any currently ongoing project ring XXX .
I am interested and enthusiastic to carry out proctive research so as to
enhance and exploit my skills and to 買粉絲ntribute positively to the research going
on in these fields. I think that my efforts and new ideas 買粉絲uld be quite helpful
to what the project/research topic demands.
(我對你干的事情會有幫助的呢:說不定有new idea哦)
I tried to 買粉絲ntact you a few months back also but there was some issues
with my email server leading to some difficulties in receiving emails.
(前幾個月我EMAIIL過你的,但是你沒理我,算啦,我就給你個臺階,說也許我大學郵件服務器不給力:給老板造成內疚感,你不理我!其實呢,老板也記不清是不是收到過了,一般都刪除的,對吧?)
Should you require any more information, I would be glad to provide. My
Curriculum Vitae is attached along with for your kind perusal.
