技巧19--求職信概述
在求職過程中，除了利用履歷表來簡介並推銷自己外，依例仍須附上一封求職信，告訴求才單位，你對該工作之勝任及申請意願。履歷表是求職程式中之主體，但求職信卻可補其不足，達到畫龍點睛，錦上添花之妙用。因此可將一些無法在履歷表中充分發揮之個人專長或才能，透過求職信詳細說明，藉由履歷表及求職信之相輔相成，爭取到面試的機會。2.寫求職信的策略:
求職信是另類推銷信，它推銷的不是產品，而是你自己。寫求職信時應做到以下幾點：
1) Attract the attention of your potential employer
吸引您未來老闆的注意力
2) Arouse your employer’s interest in you
引起未來老闆對你的興趣
3) Create a desire for employing you
激發聘用你的慾望
4) Encourage the employer to take prompt action
促使未來的老闆採取果斷的聘用行動
3. 寫求職信應考慮的問題:
1) Who is the potential employer?
你申請的是什麼公司？
2) What is your main attraction?
你有什麼吸引老闆之處？
3) What are the unique characteristics that make you special?
有什麼方法可以使你鶴立雞群，脫穎而出？
4) How can you inform the potential employer about your strengths?
你如何向未來的老闆展現你的優點和特長？
5) What misconception about you should you try to correct? For instance, if he thinks that you are too young and inexperienced, how can you convince him that he is wrong? 你如何糾正未來老闆對你可能產生的錯誤認識？比方說，他認為你太年輕，缺乏經驗？
4. 求職信的內容：
1) Source of information
求職資訊來源是看報紙雜誌上的招工廣告, 還是從人才市場上獲取的資訊
2) Position you want to apply for
你打算應聘何種崗位
3) Personal information
個人背景資料——年齡(age)，性別(sex)，受教育程度(educational background)，專業(major)，工作經歷 (working experience)
4) Your strengths
個人特長
5) Reasons for quitting the previous job and for applying the present job
辭去前單位工作的簡單理由並陳述應聘縣職務的充足理由
6) Contact method and when you are available to the interview
聯絡方式：如電話號碼，電子郵件地址，以及可以面試的時間
7) Reference
證明人
5. 求職信的具體寫法：
求職信可分三段書寫：
第一段應告訴收信人你是從何處得知該公司（單位）的行名和地址，從何處獲悉對方有職位空缺，譬如從當地報紙、電臺或者電視臺等，表達對該職位的興趣和原因。
第二段提供你的個人資料，如年齡、婚姻狀況、興趣、所參加的社團活動等等，提供你的教學資料：學歷、專業、畢業學校、所學課程等，講述相關的工作經驗、如任職公司、擔任職位、相關工作業績等以及個人性格特點。
第三段希望對方給予面試機會，留下聯絡方式，感謝對方關心，盼望早日收到回覆等。6.求職信常用句型:求職信開頭常用語:1) My interest in the position of Masonry Supply Manager has prompted me to forward my resume for your review and consideration. 2) The sales Manager position advertised in the Chicago Tribune on October 12 intrigues me.

聯絡地址：蘇州市人民路一號第一步：介紹訊息來源
介紹訊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；而不介紹訊息來源，會使收信人感到意外、突然，文章也缺乏過渡、照應，本文訊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：表明求職心願?
介紹完訊息來源後，應向收信人表明自己的求職心願，即寫信的目的，本文求職心願可作如下介紹：
I'm interested in this job very much. I’ like to get this job. 第三步：介紹個人簡歷
某單位需要新人，求職人也有求職心願，但這並不意味著這項工作非你莫屬。如果你沒有幹好這項工作的經歷、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：擺出求職優勢
僅有一定的工作經歷而沒有自身的優勢和特長，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歷之外，還具有一定的優勢和特長，這樣才能穩操勝券。本文可通過如下方法擺出自己的優勢：
I work hard and I can get along well with others. I'm good at English and especially my spokenEnglish is very good. I've translated many Chinese books into English. I can understand Japaneseand I can talk to foreigners in Japanese freely. 第五步：提出獲職打算
豐富的工作經驗，一定的優勢和特長，只能代表過去和現在的情況，如果獲職後自以為心願已了，從此高枕無憂，馬虎從事，那也是得不到用人單位認可的。顯然表明獲職後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,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：請求答覆聯絡
如果單位領導同意了你的求職要求，你必然要請他和你聯絡，以便你及時做好準備，到用人單位應聘或報到。為準確起見，請求答覆聯絡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。本文答覆聯絡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覆，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.
上述七步內容聯成一個整體，再加上下面的信尾，就成為一封完整的求職信。?
