自薦信(Self Recommendation Letter)是自我推銷采用的一種形式,推薦自己適合擔任某項工作或從事某種活動,以便對方接受的一種專用信件。
要求
信的首段要抓住招聘經(jīng)理的注意力。說明你為何寄履歷表，你對公司有興趣并想擔任他們空缺的職位�？梢酝ㄟ^暗示你與公司雇員的親屬關系來表達你對公司的興趣。要說明你干的是同一行業(yè)，有著同樣的工作興趣，或者你一直通過新聞了解公司或者這個行業(yè)。
如果你由一位朋友或者同事介紹給公司，就在信中提起他們，因為招聘經(jīng)理會感到有責任回復你的信(但是不要夸大其詞(辭)，如果你對公司或者這行業(yè)敘述不正確，招聘者會一眼就看穿的。)當你要求擔任公司空缺時，要說得越具體越好，不要只說起工作職位，還應談談這個職位的要求。
第一步：介紹消息來源
介紹消息來源實際上是求職信的開篇交待句，它可使求職信顯得自然、順暢;而不介紹消息來源，會使收信人感到意外、突然，文章也缺乏過渡、照應，本文消息來源可作如下介紹：
dear manager,
i learned from the newspaper that your company wanted to hire an english translator。
第二步：表明求職心愿
介紹完消息來源后，應向收信人表明自己的求職心愿，即寫信的目的，本文求職心愿可作如下介紹：
i'm interested in this job very much. i'd like to get this job。
第三步：介紹個人簡歷
某單位需要新人，求職人也有求職心愿，但這并不意味著這項工作非你莫屬。如果你沒有干好這項工作的經(jīng)歷、實力，也是難以適應的。因此，介紹個人簡歷是必不可少的。本文個人簡歷可介紹如下：
now i'd like to introduce myself to you. my name is li ping. i'm 30 years old. i'm 180 cm tall. i'm healthy. i like swimming, singing and dancing in my spare time. i graduated from beijing university in 1994.then,i went to work in nantong middle school.in 1996，i began to work in suzhou middle school and i have worked there until now。
第四步：擺出求職優(yōu)勢
僅有一定的工作經(jīng)歷而沒有自身的優(yōu)勢和特長，也很難求得稱心如意的工作。因此，求職時應表明自己除了具有一定的工作經(jīng)歷之外，還具有一定的優(yōu)勢和特長，這樣才能穩(wěn)操勝券。本文可通過如下方法擺出自己的優(yōu)勢：
i work hard and i can get along well with others. i'm good at english and especially my spoken english is very good. i've translated many chinese books into english. i can understand japanese and i can talk to foreigners in japanese freely。
第五步：提出獲職打算
豐富的工作經(jīng)驗，一定的優(yōu)勢和特長，只能代表過去和現(xiàn)在的情況，如果獲職后自以為心愿已了，從此高枕無憂，馬虎從事，那也是得不到用人單位認可的。顯然表明獲職后努力工作的決心是感動用人單位的領導從而順利謀得此項工作的重要一環(huán)。本文獲職打算可作如下介紹：
if you agree with me, i'll work hard and try to be a good translator。
第六步：請求答復聯(lián)系
如果單位領導同意了你的求職要求，你必然要請他和你聯(lián)系，以便你及時做好準備，到用人單位應聘或報到。為準確起見，請求答復聯(lián)系時你還應當提供你的通訊地址、郵政編碼、電話號碼、電子信箱等。本文答復聯(lián)系的內容可作如下介紹：
if you agree with me, please write a letter to me or phone me. i live at no.1 renmin road,suzhou city. my telephone number is 3654371.
第七步：表明感激之情
無論你的請求是否能夠得到滿意的答復，你給用人單位寫信就是給對方添了麻煩，因此你應向對方表明感激之情。本文可這樣來表明感激之情：
thank you very much。
上述七步內容聯(lián)成一個整體，再加上下面的信尾，就成為一封完整的求職信。
yours truly
liping
