英文求职信的写作技巧
应用文主要包括书信、摘要、报告、备忘录四种。下面以求职信为例，谈应用文的写作，希望读者能举一反三。同时求职信是大学生步入社会、走向工作岗位的第一步，了解求职信的写法具有实际意义。
那么，如何用地道流利的英语写好一份求职信呢？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、写信动机
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
todays
newspaper,i
respectfully
offer
my
services
for
the
situation.拜读今日xx报上贵公司的广告,本人特此备函应征该职位。
2.replying

me,i
feel
i
can
fill
that
position.贵公司三月八日在xx报上刊登招聘电话接线员广告，本人拜读后极感兴趣，相信能担任此职。
二、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

where
i

an

two
years

i

as
a

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：

of
fifty
and
ninety
words
respectively.离开学校后，我参加打字与速记班，而今已达到打字50字，速记90字的速度。
四、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
glad
to
have
a
personal

terview
and
can
furnish
references
if
desired.如获面试，则感幸甚。如需保证人，本人也可提出。

五、附件
