写求职信的要点
公司的老板大多认为，注重小节的人对重大的事务也会谨慎行事。一个人做人做事是否谨慎可以从一封求职信中看出端倪来。你别看轻了短短的一封信，一封求职信可以显露出一个人的嗜好、鉴别力、教育程度以及人格特性。下列几个要点便是泄露一个人‘机密‘的地方。因此，写信人非格外留意不可。
1.纸张的选用：最好使用品质优良，白色的信纸。信封要配合信纸的质料和颜色。
2.书写：求职者常需用亲手写信，字体要写得清洁可辩，龙飞凤舞的字迹无疑是自寻绝路。如果可能的话，使用打字机把信打出来。这样看起来比较具有商业气息。
3.格式：信文要适当地排列在信纸中，格式要一致，如采用齐头式(或斜线式)便需全部一致，不可中途改变
4.语法、标点和拼写：正确无误的语法、标点和拼写使读信人感到舒畅，错误的语法或拼写则十分明显，一望即知，予人坏印象。尤其要注意的是，绝不可把收信人的姓名或公司名号拼错了。
5.信封：信封上面的地址要完整，称谓要合时宜，信纸的折叠要适当，大小适合信封。
6.附件：求职信函通常不须附加推荐信，除非招聘广告有此要求。遇到这种情形，只须附上复印件即可。求职函内附加邮票或回址信封，强迫对方答覆的作法不足效法，除非对方有此要求。
求职信英文
应征函的第一段说明写信的缘起目的，有些专家认为不宜用分词子句，如下列各句作为第一句。因为这类句子被人用得大多，显得陈腐，失去突出的特性。
Replying to your advertisement…… Answering your advertisement…… Believing that there is an opportunity…… Thinking that there is a vacancy in your company…… Having read your ad……
再比较下列三句。(a)句较差，经过修改后(b)句显得较恰当。
1.(a)Replying to your recent advertisement in the Boston Evening Globe, I wish to apply for the position of sales manager……
(b)In applying for the position of sales manager I offer my qualifications, which I believe will meet your exacting requirements.
2.(a)I believe after reading your advertisement in this morning‘s Journal that you have just the opportunity I am looking for.
(b)your advertisement in this morning‘s Journal for an adjustment manager prompts me to offer you my qualifications for this position
3.(a) Having read your advertisement in the New York Times for an accountant, I thought you might be interested in my application.
(b)In your advertisement for an accountant, you indicated that you require the services of a competent person, with thorough training in the field of cost accounting. Please consider me an applicant for the position. Here are my reasons for believing I am qualified for this work.
