一、寫信動(dòng)機(jī)
通常求職信是針對(duì)報(bào)紙上招聘廣告而寫的。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來的，有時(shí)寫信人不知某機(jī)構(gòu)、公司有工作機(jī)會(huì)，毛遂 自薦 。不論哪一種，求職信上一定要說明寫信的緣由和目的。
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 todays 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。

二、自我介紹
寫信人應(yīng)述明自己的年齡或出生年月、教育背景，尤其與應(yīng)征職位有關(guān)的訓(xùn)練或教育科目、工作經(jīng)驗(yàn)或特殊技能。如無實(shí)際經(jīng)驗(yàn)，略述在學(xué)類似經(jīng)驗(yàn)亦可。參考例句：

4.Since my graduation from the school two years ago, I have been employed in XX Hotel as a cashier.兩年前離校后，在XX酒店擔(dān)任出納員。
三、本人能力
這部分非常重要，因?yàn)檫@體現(xiàn)你究竟能為公司做什么，直接關(guān)系到求職的成功率。但是也要注意一定要用最少的文字表達(dá)最多的意思。參考例句：

四、結(jié)尾
希望并請(qǐng)求未來的雇主允以面談的機(jī)會(huì)，因此信中要表明可以面談的時(shí)間。成功的求職信決不是虎頭蛇尾的，結(jié)尾一定要引起重視。參考例句：
