如果要想在外企得到一份工作，首先要面对的就是写一份英文版的求职信。要用英文版写一份自我求职信，首当其冲一点就是你得有点英语基础，毕竟在外企工作会英文是必须具备的一份技能，在外企英语几乎是一种基本的沟通语言。但是，会英文就一定会能写好求职信吗?这倒是未必的。正如普通话很多人都会讲，可是大多数人未必就能写出令人满意的求职信。这点在写英文求职信时也是一样的。那么，怎么样一份英文求职信才是令人满意的呢?

一、求职信的第一段是用来说明写信的目的，不宜用分词句子，比如用下面的句子做开头，因为这样的句子被人用得大多，显得陈腐，失去特点。

replying to your advertisement...

answering your advertisement...

believing that there is an opportunity...

再比较下面例句。每一组里面(1)句较差，经过修改后(2)句显得比较恰当。

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时，可用类似的句子：

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、提起或要求待遇时不要过分谦虚或表示歉意，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、关于求职信结尾怎么写?下面也有例句。每一组里面(1)句较差，经过修改后(2)句显得比较恰当。

a:

(1)软弱、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)改写后(较佳)： if my qualifications meet your standards， i would be happy to speak with you in person.

b:

(1)怀疑，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)改写后：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.
