對於外貿人員來說，在求職時寫一份英文求職信是必不可少的事，但很多外貿求職者不知道英文求職信如何寫，下面提供了詳細資料，僅供參考。
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。
Replyingtoyouradvertisement...
Answeringyouradvertisement...
Believingthatthereisanopportunity...
Thinkingthatthereisavacancyinyourcompany...
Havingreadyourad...
再比較下面三組例句。每一組裡面(1)句較差，經過修改後(2)句顯得比較恰當。
A:
(1)ReplyingtoyourrecentadvertisementintheBostonEveningGlobe,Iwishtoapplyforthepositionofsalesmanager.
(2)ievemyqualificationswillmeetyourexactingrequirements.
B:
(1)Ibelieveafterreadingyouradvertisementinthismorning#39;sJournalthatyouareofferingjusttheopportunityIamlookingfor.
(2)Youradvertisementinthismorning#39;sJournalforanadjustmentmanagerpromptedmetoapplyforthisposition.
C:
(1)HavingreadyouradvertisementintheNewYorkTimesforanaccountant,Ithoughtyoumightbeinterestedinmyapplication.
(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.
二、在提到希望得到的待遇時，可用類似句子：
I#39;d prefer not to set a salary, but since you ask, I consider 6,500 a month to be satisfactory.
It#39;s hard for me to say what my salary should be set at, but if pressed I would have to ask for a month as an initial salary.
I don#39;t feel that I should set my own salary, as I am happy enough to have the privilege of working for you. However, I would consider a month satisfactory compensation for my apprenticeship.
三、提起或要求待遇時不要過分謙虛或表示歉意，下列句子不宜使用：
As for salary, I do not know what to say. Would $4,500 a month be too much?
Do you think I would be asking too much if I said 5,000 dollars a month?
You know what my services are worth better than I do. All I want is a living wage.
四、關於求職信結尾怎麼寫?下面也有三組例句。每一組裡面(1)句較差，經過修改後(2)句顯得比較恰當。
A:
(1)軟弱、羞怯的： If you think I can fill the position after you have read my letter, I shall be glad to talk with you.
(2)改寫後(較佳)： If my qualifications meet your standards, I would be happy to speak with you in person.
B:
(1)懷疑，不妥、不安全的： If you are interested, please let me know immediately, as I#39;m sure an interview will convince you I#39;m the man for the job.
(2)改寫後：I would like to request an interview. You can reach me by telephone at Beijing 123456 between the hours of 7-9 a.m. and 5:30-9:30p.m. any evening.
C:
(1) 哀求式的句子、不夠完整(漏掉面談時間)：I would appreciate the opportunity for an interview. I can be reached by calling Beijing 12345678.
(2) 改寫後： May I have the opportunity to discuss this matter further with you? My telephone number is Beijing 12345678. You can reach me between nine and five o#39;clock during the day.
