解析：

(1)	考查副词。求职信必须要把你想参加的工作陈述清楚,因此选clearly。
(2)	考查动词。句意为“把你曾经做过的事和能力叙述一遍”,故选done,不是曾经“发现”过的,“知道”的,或“听到”的。
(3)	考查动词-ing的用法。句意是“求职信要写得简单,充满个性,不要漏掉任何必要细节”。leaving out“省略”,在此与句意相符；sending out“释放,发放”；taking out“拿出，取出”；picking out“挑选出”，均与句意不符。
(4)	考查名词。keep in mind是固定短语,意思是“记住”，符合句意。
(5)	考查形容词。句意是“雇用方最有可能想知道的是……”，在表示可能性时,只有likely的主语可以是人。able与句意不符。
(6)	考查连词。这是一个条件状语从句,意思是“如果开头的几个句子没能吸引读者的注意力……”，因此选择if。
(7)	考查动词。借助上一小题,“吸引某人的注意力”在这只有win与结构相吻合。pay用在pay attention to中，fix用在fix one’s attention on/upon中，show不能与attention搭配。
(8)	考查动词。上句用了reader，此处自然用read与之照应。
(9)	考查介词。根据上文to the needs or interests,此处也应使用to，与后面的your own need or desire构成介词短语。
(10)	考查-ing分词。此处意思是“以……开始”,begin或start才有此一说。
(11)	考查名词。make a careful study of意为“仔细研究”,其他词语均与句意不符。B项由于受单词拼写的影响与research混淆而出错。
(12)	考查动词。根据上下文此处应选择use，意即“多少家庭妇女使用了你们的产品”。
(13)	考查动词。在写求职信时，“概论”是需要避免的,应选择avoid，不是“记住”“保护”或“赢得”。
(14)	考查-ing分词。这句话的意思是说“对你申请的工作必须了解清楚”，“申请”是apply,故答案为B。
(15)	考查动词。“在信中我要向他们提供什么信息呢？”offer, supply和provide都能表示“提供”，但offer一般表示主动为某人提供东西或建议供别人采纳或拒绝，supply一般表示提供物品，只有provide可以表示向某人提供信息，在此处合乎句意。
(16)	考查名词。雇用者需要的是有工作经验的人，而不是beginner“初学者”。
(17)	考查名词。根据上句可得出答案，“你所做过的一切都意味着经验”。
(18)	考查动词短语搭配。“提出要求”是make a request。
(19)	考查名词。“一个较好的主意是……”，只有选择idea才符合句意。
(20)	考查形容词。这句话的意思是说“内附一个贴有邮票的信封会使得雇用方更方便地跟你联系”，选择easier与句意相符。
