求职信是求职人向用人单位介绍自己情况以求录用的专用性文书。很多求职者没有写Cover Letter(求职信)的习惯或根本不知道Cover letter的重要性。求职信就是用文字语言在推销自己,是简历的一个重要组成部分。
英文求职信的格式要求
标题
求职信的标题通常只有文种名称,即在第一行中间写上“求职信”三个字。
称谓
称谓是对受信人的称呼,写在第一行,要顶格写受信者单位名称或个人姓名。单位名称后可加“负责同志”;个人姓名后可加“先生”、“女士”、“同志”等。在称谓后写冒号。
求职信不同于一般私人书信,受信人未曾见过面,所以称谓要恰当,郑重其事。
正文
正文要另起一行,空两格开始写求职信的内容。正文内容较多,要分段写。
第一,写求职的原因。首先简要介绍求职者的自然情况如:姓名、年龄、性别等。接着要直截了当地说明从何渠道得到有关信息以及写此信的目的。如:“我叫李民,现年22岁,男。是一名财会专业的大学本科毕业生。从报上我看到贵公司招聘一名专职会计人员的消息,不胜喜悦,以本人的水平和能力,我不揣冒昧地毛遂自荐,相信贵公司定会慧眼识人,会使我有幸成为贵公司的一名会计人员。”这段是正文的开端,也是求职的开始,介绍有关情况要简明扼要,对所求的职务,态度要明朗。而且要吸引受信者有兴趣将你的信读下去,因此开头要有吸引力。
Dear Mr. Director,
I am currently working on Master Degree in International Commercial law at Tsinghua University. My supervisor Mr.Wang, a well-know professor of law, tells me that SFSC specializes in recommending qualified personnel to muti-national companies and suggests that I contact you for recommendation.
During the two years of studies at Tsinghua University, I have not only acquired a lot of knowledge of international commercial law, but also learned two foreign languages as well ,they are English and Japanese. Moreover, I have published two papers in the university journal on problems that may arise after China‘s entry to WTO. And they have been favorably accepted.
I am enclosing a resume, copies of my published papers, and Professor DA‘s letter of recommendation.
I sincerely hope you will introduce me to a famous multi-national company, to which I will dedicate myself.
Sincerely,
