一、寫(xiě)信動(dòng)機(jī)

　　通常求職信是針對(duì)報(bào)紙上招聘廣告而寫(xiě)的。若此，信中須提到何月何日的報(bào)紙，有時(shí)工作機(jī)會(huì)是從朋友或介紹所聽(tīng)來(lái)的，有時(shí)寫(xiě)信人不知某機(jī)構(gòu)、公司有工作機(jī)會(huì)，毛遂自薦。不論哪一種，求職信上一定要說(shuō)明寫(xiě)信的緣由和目的。

　　因此首先應(yīng)該表明你是在何家媒體看到應(yīng)聘廣告以及所要應(yīng)聘的職位。參考例句：

　　1.In reply to your advertisement in today's newspaper，I respectfully offer my services for the situation.拜讀今日XX報(bào)上貴公司的廣告，本人特此備函應(yīng)征該職位。
