如果要想在外企得到一份工作，首先要面對的就是寫一份英文版的求職信。要用英文版寫一份自我求職信，首當其沖一點就是你得有點英語基礎(chǔ)，畢竟在外企工作會英文是必須具備的一份技能，在外企英語幾乎是一種基本的溝通語言。但是，會英文就一定會能寫好求職信嗎?這倒是未必的。正如普通話很多人都會講，可是大多數(shù)人未必就能寫出令人滿意的求職信。這點在寫英文求職信時也是一樣的。那么，怎么樣一份英文求職信才是令人滿意的呢?

一、求職信的第一段是用來說明寫信的目的，不宜用分詞句子，比如用下面的句子做開頭，因為這樣的句子被人用得大多，顯得陳腐，失去特點。

replying to your advertisement...

answering your advertisement...

believing that there is an opportunity...

再比較下面例句。每一組里面(1)句較差，經(jīng)過修改后(2)句顯得比較恰當。

a:

(1) replying to your recent advertisement in the boston evening globe， I wish to apply for the position of sales manager.

(2) I am applying for the position of sales manager. I believe my qualifications will meet your exacting requirements.

b:

(1) I?believe after reading your advertisement in this morning's journal that you are offering just the opportunity i am looking for.

(2) your advertisement in this morning''s journal for an adjustment manager prompted me to apply for this position.

二、在提到希望得到的待遇時，可用類似的句子：

I'd prefer not to set a salary， but since you ask， i consider 6，500 a month to be satisfactory.

it''s hard for me to say what my salary should be set at， but if pressed i would have to ask for a month as an initial salary.

I don''t feel that i should set my own salary， as I?am happy enough to have the privilege of working for you. However,I would consider a month satisfactory compensation for my apprenticeship.

三、提起或要求待遇時不要過分謙虛或表示歉意，下列句子不宜使用：

as for salary， i do not know what to say. would $4，500 a month be too much?

do you think i would be asking too much if i said 5，000 dollars a month?

you know what my services are worth better than i do. all i want is a living wage.

四、關(guān)于求職信結(jié)尾怎么寫?下面也有例句。每一組里面(1)句較差，經(jīng)過修改后(2)句顯得比較恰當。

a:

(1)軟弱、羞怯的： if you think i can fill the position after you have read my letter， i shall be glad to talk with you.

(2)改寫后(較佳)： if my qualifications meet your standards， i would be happy to speak with you in person.

b:

(1)懷疑，不妥、不安全的： if you are interested， please let me know immediately， as i''m sure an interview will convince you i''m the man for the job.

(2)改寫后：I would like to request an interview. you can reach me by telephone at beijing 123456 between the hours of 7-9 a.m. and 5:30-9:30p.m. any evening.
