機智和良好的判斷
寫求職信要有機智和良好的判斷，下列幾點可供參考。
1、陳述事實，避免表示意見：與訓(xùn)練和經(jīng)驗有關(guān)的事實可以陳述出來，但應(yīng)避免表示意見說這些訓(xùn)練和經(jīng)驗對所應(yīng)征的工作將有怎樣的關(guān)系或好處。
2、不要批評他人：如果你要離開現(xiàn)職，可以說出原因但不要用批評的方式，雇主想要了解你，而非你的工作機會。
3、不要過份渲染自我：你當(dāng)然認(rèn)為有能力，夠資格才要申請某一職位，但不要過份夸大自己的能力或表現(xiàn)過份信心，尤其不要說出與事實不符的能力或特性來。
4、留意底薪：有的雇主要你提到希望的待遇。你要作良好的判斷，寫出你覺得可行的最低薪。開始就業(yè)的人應(yīng)知道，與其尋得一份高薪的工作倒不如找待遇尚可而有升遷機會的工作。
求職信英文
應(yīng)征函的第一段說明寫信的緣起目的，有些專家認(rèn)為不宜用分詞子句，如下列各句作為第一句。因為這類句子被人用得大多，顯得陳腐，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……
再比較下列三句。（a）句較差，經(jīng)過修改后（b）句顯得較恰當(dāng)。
�。�、（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.
求職的人不得不提到希望待遇時，可用類似的句子：
1、 hesitate to state a definite salary, but, as long as you have requested me to , I should consider 6,500 a month satisfactory. 我對待遇總是遲遲無法定個確切數(shù)目，但既然您要我說明，我認(rèn)為月薪六千五百元就滿意了。
2、Although it is difficult for me to say what compensation I should deserve, I should consider-a month a fair initial salary. 雖然我很難說待遇應(yīng)該是多少，我以為起薪每月--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. 余不敢冒昧說出起薪多少。最初余僅想要如何工作得好，使您滿意。在學(xué)徒（試用）期間，月薪--即可。
