英文求职信时要注意以下四个方面：
一、在语言风格上要平实、简洁。切忌用夸张、比喻的手法引起误解，而要给招聘者留下诚恳、务实的印象。招聘者也没有时间阅读过长的信件，所以整篇书信要简短，能控制在一页16开纸上为最好。
二、在句子结构上要多用长句。长句善于表达复杂事物，一方面有利于准确表达求职者的意图，容易给招聘者留下思维条理清晰，逻辑性强的印象;另一方面，将大量信息融合到一个句子中，很容易抓住招聘者的注意力，迫使其一口气读完，从而留下深刻印象。
三、从语气上，求职信应写得诚恳而积极，表达出自己对该单位的向往之情。切忌傲慢或过于自谦。
四、从内容上看，英文求职信一般要包括七个步骤：
1. introducing candidate (介绍候选身份)。在这一部分中，求职者要介绍自己的求职意向和个人情况，包括受教育、专业、工作履历等方面的情况。
2. establishing credential (确定任职凭证) 在这部分，求职者要表明自己为什么和凭什么选择这份工作，即自己的专业或目前从事的工作类型。
3. offering incentives (鼓励接受申请)这一步是招聘者能否给应聘者面试机会的关键。应聘者可以从能力、经验、个人专长、性格优势等各方面进行阐述，鼓励招聘者给自己一个面试的机会。
4. enclosing document (提及附加材料)。应聘往往会被要求或自愿随信附加一些证明文件，比如各种证书和近期照片。最好再附上一个已写好的回邮信封。以便尽快得到回音。
5. using pressure tactics(采用施压策略)这是为了获得面试机会而使用的手段。但这一步对求职者的要求很高，必须对自己的实力有充分的自信，还要了解招聘者的薄弱环节在什么地方，才能积极有效的施加压力。否者这种手段的效果只能适得其反。
6. soliciting response(请求答复)
