写求职信要有机智和良好的判断，下列几点可供参考。

　　1、陈述事实，避免表示意见：与训练和经验有关的事实可以陈述出来，但应避免表示意见说这些训练和经验对所应征的工作将有怎样的关系或好处。

　　2、不要批评他人：如果你要离开现职，可以说出原因但不要用批评的方式，雇主想要了解你，而非你的工作机会。

　　3、不要过份渲染自我：你当然认为有能力，够资格才要申请某一职位，但不要过份夸大自己的能力或表现过份信心，尤其不要说出与事实不符的能力或特性来。

　　4、留意底薪：有的雇主要你提到希望的待遇。你要作良好的判断，写出你觉得可行的最低薪。开始就业的人应知道，与其寻得一份高薪的工作倒不如找待遇尚可而有升迁机会的工作。

　　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.

　　求职的人不得不提到希望待遇时，可用类似的句子：

　　1、 hesitate to state a definite salary, but, as long as you have requested me to , I should consider6,500 a month satisfactory. 我对待遇总是迟迟无法定个确切数目，但既然您要我说明，我认为月薪六千五百元就满意了。

　　2、Although it is difficult for me to say what compensation I should deserve, I should consider-a month a fair initial salary. 虽然我很难说待遇应该是多少，我以为起薪每月--很合理。

　　3、I feel it is presumptuous of me to state what my salary should be. My first consideration is to satisfy you completely. However, while I am serving my apprenticeship, I should consider-a month satisfactory compensation. 余不敢冒昧说出起薪多少。最初余仅想要如何工作得好，使您满意。在学徒（试用）期间，月薪--即可。

　　提到时不要过分谦虚或表示歉意，下列句子不宜使用。

　　１、As for salary, I do not know what to say. Would$4,500 a month be too much? 至于起薪，我不知怎么说，月薪四千五百元会不会太多？

　　2、Do you think I should be asking too much if I said5000 dollars a month? 若要求月薪五千元，会不会太高？

　　3、You know what my services are worth better than I do . All I want is a living wage. 对敝人工作的价值您比我更清楚。我仅想够糊口即可。
