第一步：介紹消息來源
介紹消息來源實(shí)際上是求職信的開篇交待句，它可使求職信顯得自然、順暢；而不介紹消息來源，會使收信人感到意外、突然，文章也缺乏過渡、照應(yīng)，本文消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：表明求職心愿
介紹完消息來源后，應(yīng)向收信人表明自己的求職心愿，即寫信的目的，本文求職心愿可作如下介紹：
I'm interested in this job very much. I'd like to get this job.
第三步：介紹個人簡歷
某單位需要新人，求職人也有求職心愿，但這并不意味著這項工作非你莫屬。如果你沒有干好這項工作的經(jīng)歷、實(shí)力，也是難以適應(yīng)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(yōu)勢
僅有一定的工作經(jīng)歷而沒有自身的優(yōu)勢和特長，也很難求得稱心如意的工作。因此，求職時應(yīng)表明自己除了具有一定的工作經(jīng)歷之外，還具有一定的優(yōu)勢和特長，這樣才能穩(wěn)操勝券。本文可通過如下方法擺出自己的優(yōu)勢：
I work hard and I can get along well with others. I'm good at English and especially my spoken English is very good. I've translated many Chinese books into English. I can understand Japanese and I can talk to foreigners in Japanese freely.
第五步：提出獲職打算
豐富的工作經(jīng)驗(yàn)，一定的優(yōu)勢和特長，只能代表過去和現(xiàn)在的情況，如果獲職后自以為心愿已了，從此高枕無憂，馬虎從事，那也是得不到用人單位認(rèn)可的。顯然表明獲職后努力工作的決心是感動用人單位的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)從而順利謀得此項工作的重要一環(huán)。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：請求答復(fù)聯(lián)系
如果單位領(lǐng)導(dǎo)同意了你的求職要求，你必然要請他和你聯(lián)系，以便你及時做好準(zhǔn)備，到用人單位應(yīng)聘或報到。為準(zhǔn)確起見，請求答復(fù)聯(lián)系時你還應(yīng)當(dāng)提供你的通訊地址、郵政編碼、電話號碼、電子信箱等。本文答復(fù)聯(lián)系的內(nèi)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復(fù)，你給用人單位寫信就是給對方添了麻煩，因此你應(yīng)向?qū)Ψ奖砻鞲屑ぶ�。本文可這樣來表明感激之情：
Thank you very much.
上述七步內(nèi)容聯(lián)成一個整體，再加上下面的信尾，就成為一封完整的求職信。
Yours Truly(此致)
