英文自薦信格式介紹
(1)以學歷為主的簡歷basic resume
這種形式適應於應屆畢業生或中學畢業後仍在待業的求職人員，因為沒有工作經歷，所以把重點放在學業上，從最高學歷往下寫。
在basic resume中，一般包括下列元素：
a. personal date(個人資料)：name(姓名)、address(通訊地址)、postal code(郵政編碼)、phone number(電話號碼)、birthdate(出生日期)、birthplace(出生地點)、sex(性別)、height(身高)、weight(體重)、health(健康狀況)、date of availability(可到職日期)、number of identification card(身份證號碼)。因為是應屆畢業生或中學畢業不久，一般沒有結婚，因而可省略marital status(婚姻狀況)和children(兒女情況)兩項。當然，如果是研究生畢業已婚，則應寫明。
b. job/career objective(應聘職位)。
c. education(學歷)：就讀學校及系科的名稱、學位、始止時間和應聘職位相關的課程與成績、社會實踐、課外活動、獎勵等都應一一列出。
d. special skill(特別技能)。
e. hobbies/interests(業餘愛好)。如果在學歷專案的課外活動中已經註明，此項則不必重複。
(2)以經歷為主的簡歷chronological resume
以這種形式出現的英語簡歷，往往側重於工作經歷，把同應聘職位有關的經歷和業績按時間順序書寫出來，把工作經歷放在學歷之前。經歷和學歷的時間順序均是由近至遠。
毫無疑問，這種形式的英語簡歷適合於有工作經驗的求職人員。
在chronological resume中，通常包括以下元素： a. personal date(個人資料)。具體內容同以學歷為主的簡歷相同，不過，因為你參加工作多年，已進入結婚年齡，所以不管你是否結婚，都應註明婚姻狀況和兒女情況。
b. job/career objective(應聘職位)。
c. work experience(工作經歷)。務必寫明自己在每個工作單位的職位、職責和業績以及工作起止時間。
d. education(學歷)：因為你已工作多年，僱主重點考慮你的工作經驗是否能勝任你所應聘的職位，所以學歷只是一個參考的因素，因而不必象以學歷為主的簡歷那樣寫得詳細，只需註明你就讀的校系名稱、始止時間和學位即可。
e. technical qualifications and special skills(技術資格和特別技能)。
f. scientific research achievements(科研成果)。
(3)以職能為主的簡歷functional resume
這種形式的`英語簡歷，也是突出工作經歷，因而所含元素和以經歷為主的簡歷相同。以經歷為主的簡歷和以職能為主的簡歷的根本差別在於：以經歷為主的簡歷是按時間順序來排列工作經歷，而以職能為主的簡歷則按工作職能或性質來概括工作經歷，並無時間上的連貫性，旨在強調某些特定的工作能力和適應程度。比方說，你曾經在兩個不同的工作單位擔任相同的職務或負責相同的業務，便可歸納在一個專案之中。例如：
functional summary of work experience
purchasing manager:
july 1984 to may 1986 guangzhou friendship store
december 1988 to september 1990 nanfeng departmentstore
英文自薦信範文：
Dear Sir/ Madam,
My name is W---,But if you like, Zoe is my English name.
I am a junior student in English Department of Foreign Language School, South West University, China. And I am going on 21 years old this March. I love my country as well as the colorful diversity of culture. America is a land of wander. She welcomes and embraces all kinds of culture and she is also the most developed country in the world. It has been my long-desired dream to see her with my own eyes, talk to her with my own mouth, and make friends with her with my whole heart. And this is my “American Dream”. I believe, by working in your company, being an excellent staff of yours, I will realize my “American Dream” in the most rewarding direction.
I firmly believe that, in our world there will always be more solutions than difficulties. So I never yield to difficulties. When I get a task, I fulfill it with every effort. So, people around me say that I am very responsible. Punctual is another characteristic of me. Because I just don’t like the feeling of being late. I like drawing pictures and when I was a 5th-year-student at primary school, I enrolled in a drawing studio. The whole study of drawing lasted for almost 6 years. It helped me become more patient and much easier to concentrate myself, for in order to give birth to a satisfied picture, I have to ignore all the distractions, concentrate on the pencils and papers and be patient enough to finish the picture one touch after another. At university, I designed and painted many posters for my community. I also like playing ping-pong ball and badminton. Those sports make me feel energetic and happy. Reading is also one of the many hobbies of mine. Harry Potter is my favorite novel now.
I have been a tutor of English during the previous summer holiday. The kids liked me very much. I also volunteered in a project launched by the local Education Bureau aiming at helping the local poverty-stricken university students in the summer of 2007. In the next summer holiday, I joined the group work with several other schoolmates in doing a survey about the development of china making industry of my hometown. We went to the relevant government offices and the factories, interviewed different kinds of people (the government officers, the managers, the workers as well as the masters of china-making in factories). We cooperated well and the better understanding of the china-making history and development made us more proud of our hometown.
I know I am ready for the 3 months’ work and life in America. Also, I believe I will be an excellent employee of yours, and when I come back to China, I will bring home the friendship from American as well as harvest a fresh look on your land of wonders.
Thanks for your time and wish you all the best!
Sincerely,
W----
