英语求职信写法指南范文
求职信
关键要处理好求职信的五个组成部分:写信动机、自我介绍、本人能力、结尾、附件。
一、求职信写作动机
通常求职信是针对报纸上招聘广告而写的。若此,信中须提到何月何日的报纸,有时工作机会是从朋友或介绍所听来的,有时写信人不知某机构、公司有工作机会,毛遂自荐。不论哪一种,求职信上一定要说明写信的缘由和目的。
因此首先应该表明你是在何家媒体看到应聘广告以及所要应聘的职位。参考例句:
1. in reply to your advertisement in today's newspaper,I respectfully offer my services for the situation.
2. replying to your advertisement into- day's issue of the(newspaper),I wish to apply for the position in your esteemed firm.
3. with reference to your advertisement in(newspaper)of may 2for a clerk,I offer myself for the post.
4. I wish to apply for the position advertised in the enclosed clipping from the(newspaper)of November 12.
5. in answer to your advertisement into- day's newspaper for a secretary,I wish to tender my services.
6. learning from xx that you are looking for a sales manager,I should like to apply for the position.
7. your advertisement for a telephone operator in the newspaper of march 8has interested me,I feel I can fill that position.
二、求职信自我介绍
写信人应述明自己的年龄或出生年月、教育背景,尤其与应征职位有关的训练或教育科目、工作经验或特殊技能。如无实际经验,略述在学类似经验亦可。参考例句:
1. for the past three years,I have been in the office of the xx trading co., where I have been an accountant.
2. I am twenty years of age,and have been employed for the last two years by the xx co.,
in the general clerical work of the office.
3. I am twenty years of age,and am anxious to settle down to office work.
4. since my graduation from the school two years ago,I have been employed in xx hotel as
a cashier.
三、本人能力
这部分非常重要,因为这体现你究竟能为公司做什么,直接关系到求职的成功率。但是也要注意一定要用最少的文字表达最多的意思。参考例句:
1. I am able to take dictation in English and translate it rapidly into Chinese.
2. I have received an English education, and have a slight knowledge of Spanish.I took a
Spanish course in college.
3. I have been at the city commercial college,where I have acquired a knowledge of
English,mathematics and elementary business practice.
4. I have just left school,but have a good knowledge of English.
5. at school I won a scholarship and the first prize in a speech contest.
6. I am a graduate of Hong Kong university,and have in addition an M.A.degree from
UCLA.
7. since leaving school,I have attended typewriting and shorthand classes,and have now
attained a speed of fifty and ninety words respectively.
四、求职信结尾
希望并请求未来的雇主允以面谈的机会,因此信中要表明可以面谈的时间。成功的求职信决不是虎头蛇尾的,结尾一定要引起重视。参考例句:
1. I should be glad to have a personal interview and can furnish references if desired.
2.I request an interview,and assure you that if appointed,I will do my best to give you satisfaction.
3. If you desire an interview,I shall be most happy to call in person,on any day and at any time you may appoint.
4.should you think favorably of my application,I would like to have an interview.
5.I hope that you will be kind enough to consider my application favorably.
6.should this application meet with your favorable consideration,I will do my utmost to justify the confidence you may repose in me.
7.should you entertain my application favorably,I would spare no trouble to acquit my- self to your satisfaction.
8.I wish to assure you that,if successful,I would endeavor to give you every satisfaction.
五、求职信附件
这部分视具体情况而定,如有详细的简历或用人单位需要的材料附在求职信中时,需要注明。参考例句:
1. you will find enclosed an outline of my education and business training and copies of
two letters of recommendation.
2. enclosed please find a resume and a photo.
3. a copy of my transcript is enclosed.
4. enclosed you will find a letter of recommendation from my former teacher of English.

Mr. John Wilson Personnel Director
Anderson Construction Company 3507 Rockville Pike Rockville, MD 20895
Dear Mr. Wilson:
I read in the March 24th Washington Post classified section of your need for a Civil Engineer or Building Construction graduate for one of your Washington, DC, area sites. I will be returning to the Washington area after graduation in May and believe that I have the necessary credentials for the project.
Every summer for the last five years I have worked at various levels in the construction industry. As indicated on my enclosed resume, I have worked as a general laborer, and moved up to skilled carpentry work, and last summer served as assistant construction manager on a two million dollar residential construction project.
In addition to this practical experience, I will complete requirements for my B.S. in Building Construction in May. As you may know, Virginia Tech is one of the few universities in the country that offers such a specialized degree for the construction industry. I am confident that my degree along with my years of construction industry experience makes me an excellent candidate for your job. The Anderson Construction Company projects are familiar to me, and my
aspiration is to work for a company that has your excellent reputation. I would welcome the opportunity to interview with you. I will be in the Washington area during the week of April 12th and would be available to speak with you at that time. In the next week to ten days I will contact you to answer any questions you may have.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely, (handwritten signature)

Ms. Sylvia Range Special Programs Assistant Marion County Family Court Wilderness Challenge
303 Center Street Marion, VA 24560
Dear Ms. Range:
This semester I am a junior at Virginia Tech, working toward my bachelor's degree in family and child development. I am seeking an internship for this
summer 2010, and while researching opportunities in the field of criminal justice and law, I found that your program works with juvenile delinquents. I am writing to inquire about possible internship opportunities with the Marion County Family Court Wilderness Challenge.
My work background and coursework have supplied me with many skills and an understanding of dealing with the adolescent community; for example:
? 10 hours per week as a volunteer hotline assistant for a local intervention center. After a 50-hour training program, I counseled teenagers about personal concerns and referred them, when necessary, to appropriate professional services for additional help.
Resident hall assistant in my residence hall, which requires me to establish rapport with fifty residents and advise them on personal matters, as well as university policies. In addition, I develop social and educational programs and activities each semester for up to 200 participants. ?
My enclosed resume provides additional details about my background.
I will be in the Marion area during my Spring break, March 6 - March 10. I will call you next week to see if it would be possible to meet with you in early March to discuss your program.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely, (handwritten signature)

Mr. William Jackson Employment Manager Acme Pharmaceutical Corporation

Dear Mr. Jackson:
From the Acme web site I learned about your need for a sales representative for the Virginia, Maryland, and North Carolina areas. I am very interested in this position with Acme Pharmaceuticals, and believe that my education and employment background are appropriate for the position.
After completion of my B.S. in biology, and prior to beginning my master’s degree in marketing, I worked for two years as a sales representative with a regional whole foods company. My efforts yielded success in new business
development, and my sales volume consistently met or exceeded company goals. I would like to repeat that success in the pharmaceutical industry, using my academic background in science and business. I will complete my M.S. in marketing in mid-May and will be available to begin employment in early June. Enclosed is a copy of my resume, which more fully details my qualifications for the position.
I look forward to talking with you regarding sales opportunities with Acme Pharmaceuticals. Within the next week I will contact you to confirm that you received my e-mail and resume and to answer any questions you may have. Thank you very kindly for your consideration.

Dr. Michael Jr. Rhodes Principal, Wolftrap Elementary School 1205 Beulah Road
Vienna, VA 22182
Dear Dr. Rhodes:
I enjoyed our conversation on February 18th at the Family and Child Development seminar on teaching elementary children and appreciated your personal input about balancing the needs of children and the community during difficult economic times. This letter is to follow-up about the Fourth Grade Teacher position as discussed at the seminar. I will complete my M.Ed. in Curriculum and Instruction at Virginia Tech in May 2011, and will be available for employment as soon as needed for the 2011-12 school year.
My teacher preparation program at Virginia Tech has included a full academic year of student teaching. Last semester I taught second grade and this semester am teaching fourth grade. These valuable experiences have afforded me the opportunity to:
?
?
?
?
? Develop lesson plans on a wide range of topics and varying levels of academic ability, Work with emotionally and physically challenged students in a total inclusion program, Observe and participate in effective classroom management approaches, Assist with parent-teacher conferences, and Complete In-Service sessions on diversity, math and reading skills, and community relations.
My experience includes work in a private day care facility, Rainbow Riders Childcare Center, and in Virginia Tech’s Child Development Laboratory. Both these facilities are NAEYC-accredited and adhere to the highest standards. At both locations, my responsibilities included leading small and large group activities, helping with lunches and snacks, and implementing appropriate activities. Both experiences also provided me with extensive exposure to the implementation of developmentally appropriate activities and materials.
I look forward to putting my knowledge and experience into practice in the public school system. Next week I will be in Vienna, and I plan to call you then to answer any questions that you may have. I can be reached before then at (540) 555-7670. Thank you for your consideration.
