求職信的概念，就跟推銷一樣，目的都是要引起顧客(僱主)興趣，達到成功推銷自己的效果。很多求職者沒有寫Cover Letter(求職信)的習慣或根本不知道Cover letter的重要性。
怎麼寫英文求職信的開頭
開頭部分包括稱呼與引言。稱呼一般是姓加職銜或官銜。大部分既有職銜又有官銜，一般以其高者尊者稱呼。例如，當招聘者既是博士、副教授又是人事處處長時，那麼此時稱博士也許效果好些。因為人事處處長中是博士的非常少，且一般人稱處長多，而你稱其為博士既有新鮮感又表明你對他了解。無意之中，他對你的印象就更深些。
引言的作用有二。一是吸引招聘人看完你的材料，二是引導對方自然而然進入你所突出的正題而不感到突然，因此應下功夫把開頭寫好。開頭的形式多種多樣，下面列舉幾種以供參考。
(1)概述性開頭：用一兩句話概括你具備的最重要的求職資格和工作能力，並簡要說明這些資格和能力如何能最好地滿足目標工作的需要。
(2)讚揚式開頭：讚揚目標單位近期取得的顯著成就或發生的重要變化，然後表明你渴望為其效力。
(3)個性化開頭：從你與求職目標有關的興趣、看法與體會或從你目前的狀況說起，談自己為什麼想到該用人單位工作。
(4)獨創性開頭：如果你申請的目標工作需要創造性的想像力，可以用一個新奇的、能表現這方面才華的句子開頭。
(5)志願性開頭：表明你的理想和抱負，把目標單位稱作你的用武之地，決心為之奮鬥，為之奉獻。
(6)提問式開頭：針對目標單位的困難、需要和目標提出自己的認識和建議，然後表明你真誠地希望能幫助他們克服困難，滿足需要，實現目標。先設問，再回答，表明你對局勢的關注和願意同舟共濟的決心。
(7)彙報性開頭：把對方視為尊敬的領導或專家，以謙虛求教的態度向其彙報自己的情況和求職動機，請求指點和當面賜教。
