當(dāng)你開始寫你的求職信的時候，直入主題。解釋你為什么寫這封求職信并將你的求職意向?qū)懺诶锩妗Ｄ憧梢员磉_(dá)你是在哪聽到這份工作的。
英文求職信的寫作方法和技巧：
如何用地道流利的英語寫好一份求職信呢?關(guān)鍵要處理好求職信的五個組成部分：寫信動機(jī)、自我介紹、本人能力、結(jié)尾、附件。
一、寫信動機(jī)
通常求職信是針對報紙上招聘廣告而寫的。若此，信中須提到何月何日的報紙，有時工作機(jī)會是從朋友或介紹所聽來的，有時寫信人不知某機(jī)構(gòu)、公司有工作機(jī)會，毛遂自薦。不論哪一種，求職信上一定要說明寫信的緣由和目的。
因此首先應(yīng)該表明你是在何家媒體看到應(yīng)聘廣告以及所要應(yīng)聘的職位。參考例句：
1.In reply to your advertisement in today's newspaper，I respectfully offer my services for the situation.拜讀今日XX報上貴公司的廣告，本人特此備函應(yīng)征該職位。
2.Replying to your advertisement into- day's issue of the(newspaper)，I wish to apply for the position in your esteemed firm.拜讀貴公司在今日(報紙)上廣告，特此備函應(yīng)征貴公司該職位。
3.With reference to your advertisement in(newspaper)of May 2for a clerk，I offer myself for the post.從五月二日XX報上廣告欄得知貴公司招聘一位職員，我愿應(yīng)招。
4.I wish to apply for the position advertised in the enclosed clipping from the(newspaper)of November 12.謹(jǐn)隨函附上十一月十二日XX報貴公司招聘廣告，我愿應(yīng)招此職位。
5.In answer to your advertisement into- day's newspaper for a secretary，I wish to tender my services.閣下在今日XX報上刊登招聘秘書廣告，本人獲悉，特此應(yīng)招。
6.Learning from XX that you are looking for a sales manager，I should like to apply for the position.從XX處得悉，貴公司正在招聘一名業(yè)務(wù)經(jīng)理，我愿應(yīng)招此職。
7.Your advertisement for a telephone operator in the newspaper of March 8has interested me，I feel I can fill that position.貴公司三月八日在XX報上刊登招聘電話接線員廣告，本人拜讀后極感興趣，相信能擔(dān)任此職。
二、自我介紹
寫信人應(yīng)述明自己的年齡或出生年月、教育背景，尤其與應(yīng)征職位有關(guān)的訓(xùn)練或教育科目、工作經(jīng)驗或特殊技能。如無實際經(jīng)驗，略述在學(xué)類似經(jīng)驗亦可。參考例句：
1.For the past three years，I have been in the office of the XX Trading Co.， where I have been an accountant.本人曾經(jīng)在XX貿(mào)易公司服務(wù)三年，擔(dān)任會計工作。
2.I am twenty years of age，and have been employed for the last two years by the XX Co.，in the general clerical work of the office.我今年20歲，曾在XX公司服務(wù)兩年，擔(dān)任一般文員工作。
3.I am twenty years of age，and am anxious to settle down to office work.本人20歲，希望能找到一個公司，以便安定下來。
4.Since my graduation from the school two years ago， I have been employed in XX Hotel as a cashier.兩年前離校后，在XX酒店擔(dān)任出納員。
三、本人能力
這部分非常重要，因為這體現(xiàn)你究竟能為公司做什么，直接關(guān)系到求職的成功率。但是也要注意一定要用最少的文字表達(dá)最多的意思。參考例句：
1.I am able to take dictation in English and translate it rapidly into Chinese.我會英文的口授筆記，同時能立即將其翻譯成中文。
2.I have received an English education， and have a slight knowledge of Spanish.I took a Spanish course in college.本人接受英文教育，同時略通西班牙文。大學(xué)時，我修了西班牙文。
3.I have been at the City Commercial College，where I have acquired a knowledge of English，mathematics and elementary business practice.本人曾在城市商專學(xué)英文、數(shù)學(xué)以及初級商業(yè)實務(wù)。

5.At school I won a scholarship and the first prize in a speech contest.求學(xué)中，我曾獲獎學(xué)金及演講比賽一等獎。
6.I am a graduate of Hong Kong University，and have in addition an M.A.degree from UCLA.本人畢業(yè)于香港大學(xué)，并在加州大學(xué)獲得文學(xué)碩士學(xué)位。
7.Since leaving school，I have attended Typewriting and Shorthand classes，and have now attained a speed of fifty and ninety words respectively.離開學(xué)校后，我參加打字與速記班，而今已達(dá)到打字50字，速記90字的速度。
四、結(jié)尾
希望并請求未來的雇主允以面談的機(jī)會，因此信中要表明可以面談的時間。成功的求職信決不是虎頭蛇尾的，結(jié)尾一定要引起重視。參考例句：
1.I should be glad to have a personal in- terview and can furnish references if desired.如獲面試，則感幸甚。如需保證人，本人也可提出。
2.I request an interview，and assure you that if appointed，I will do my best to give you satisfaction.懇請惠予面試之榮。如蒙錄用，本人必竭盡所能，為貴公司服務(wù)，以符厚望。
3.If you desire an interview，I shall be most happy to call in person，on any day and at any time you may appoint.如貴公司有意面試，本人一定遵照所指定的時日，前往拜訪。
4.Should you think favorably of my application，I would like to have an interview.如對本人之應(yīng)征優(yōu)先考慮，懇請惠予面試之機(jī)會。
5.I hope that you will be kind enough to consider my application favorably.懇請惠予考慮本人之申請為盼。
6.Should this application meet with your favorable consideration，I will do my utmost to justify the confidence you may repose in me.對此申請，貴公司如惠予考慮，本人將盡最大的忠誠與努力，為貴公司效勞。

8.I wish to assure you that，if successful，I would endeavor to give you every satisfaction.如蒙不棄，惠予錄用，本人將盡力服務(wù)，使諸事滿意。
五、附件
這部分視具體情況而定，如有詳細(xì)的簡歷或用人單位需要的材料附在求職信中時，需要注明。參考例句：
1.You will find enclosed an outline of my education and business training and copies of two letters of recommendation.有關(guān)本人的學(xué)歷、工作經(jīng)驗等項的概要，謹(jǐn)同函呈上兩件推薦函。

Dear Sir，
Four years as a senior clerk in sales department of the New World Products Company have，I believe，given me the experience to qualify for the job you advertised in Thursday#39;s
newspaper.
Since 1981 I have been responsible for all office details in the administration of sales， including writing much of the correspondence. In the course of my work，I have become familiar with the various sales territories，and have also in my spare time experience of handling business problems other than my proper sphere.
The years before I was employed at the New World，I was a secretary for Long Brother，an accounting firm.There I became familiar with accounting terms and procedures.
I was graduated at Wah Yan College，in June 1974.I am twenty-five years of age and single.
I am leaving my present position because I can use my capabilities more fully in a position with wider scope.My present employer knows of my ambition and is helping me to find a new place.
May I see you at your office to tell you more about myself and show you just how well I can do the work you require.
Yours faithfully，
