寫求職信的目的在于獲得職位，一封求職信無論如何文辭并茂，令人心動，公司HR主管不見到應聘者本人是不會給予工作機會的。因此，求職信的實際目的在于獲得面談的機會。許多人都會copy網上的求職信范本，導致千篇一律，這是非常不可取的。我們已經講過怎樣寫求職信，這次我們來談談求職信寫作中容易被忽略的細節(jié)問題。
一、求職信的第一段說明寫信的目的，有些專家認為不宜用分詞句子，比如用下面的句子做開頭，因為這樣的句子被人用得大多，顯得陳腐，失去特點。
Replying to your advertisement...
Answering your advertisement...
Believing that there is an opportunity...
Thinking that there is a vacancy in your company...
Having read your ad...
再比較下面三組例句。每一組里面(1)句較差，經過修改后(2)句顯得比較恰當。
A:
(1) Replying to your recent advertisement in the Boston Evening Globe, I wish to apply for the position of sales manager.
(2) I am applying for the position of sales manager. I believe my qualifications will meet your exacting requirements.
B:
(1) I believe after reading your advertisement in this morning's Journal that you are offering just the opportunity I am looking for.
(2) Your advertisement in this morning's Journal for an adjustment manager prompted me to apply for this position.
C:
(1) Having read your advertisement in the New York Times for an accountant, I thought you might be interested in my application.
(2) In your advertisement for an accountant, you indicated that you require the services of a competent person, with thorough training in the field of cost accounting. Please consider me an applicant for the position. Here are my reasons for believing I am qualified for this work.
