寫英文求職信的動機

通常求職信是針對報紙上招聘廣告而寫的。若此，求職信中須提到何月何日的報紙，有時工作機會是從朋友或介紹所聽來的，有時寫信人不知某機構、公司有工作機會，毛遂自薦。不論哪一種，求職信上一定要說明寫求職信的緣由和目的。

因此首先，在英文求職信中，應該表明你是在何家媒體看到應聘廣告以及所要應聘的職位。參考例句：

1.in reply to your advertisement in todays newspaper,i respectfully offer my services for the situation.拜讀今日xx報上貴公司的廣告,本人特此備函應徵該職位。

2.replying to your advertisement into- days issue of the(newspaper),i wish to apply for the position in your esteemed firm.拜讀貴公司在今日(報紙)上廣告,特此備函應徵貴公司該職位。

3.with reference to your advertisement in(newspaper)of may 2for a clerk，i offer myself for the post.從五月二日xx報上廣告欄得知貴公司招聘一位職員，我願應招。

4.i wish to apply for the position advertised in the enclosed clipping from the(newspaper)of november 12.謹隨函附上十一月十二日xx報貴公司招聘廣告，我願應招此職位。

5.in answer to your advertisement into- days newspaper for a secretary,i wish to tender my services.閣下在今日xx報上刊登招聘秘書廣告，本人獲悉，特此應招。

6.learning from xx that you are looking for a sales manager,i should like to apply for the position.從xx處得悉，貴公司正在招聘一名業務經理，我願應招此職。

7.your advertisement for a telephone operator in the newspaper of march 8has interested me,i feel i can fill that position.貴公司三月八日在xx報上刊登招聘電話接線員廣告，本人拜讀後極感興趣，相信能擔任此職。
