1. 使用專用的紙張，上端寫有你的姓名、地址、和電話號碼。你的簡歷要使用配套紙張——它能顯示你的檔次和職業風範。
2. 定做附信。附信專門致某個特定的個人。確何你有這個人的姓名、他或她的職稱以及公司名稱的正確拼寫。
3. 如果你不願意定做每一封信，而寧願使用格式信件，使用敬稱“尊敬的招聘主管”。（不要使用“尊敬的先生。”招聘主管或許是位女士）
4. 附信要比簡歷更加非正式，它必須能夠在雙方之間建立融洽談的氛圍。你要熱情洋溢、精力充沛和令人振奮。
5. 附信必須向未來的僱主介紹你和你的價值。
6. 確保在附信上籤署日期。
7. 有效的附信應當易於閱讀，體要比簡歷中的體更大，而且要簡短——四五個簡短的段落就足夠了。
8. 儘量把附信的長度控制在一頁之內。如果你不得已要用兩頁，確保你的姓名出現在第二頁上。
9. 附信的第一段應該能夠引起招聘人員對你作為候選人的興趣，並激發閱讀者的熱情。閱讀者為什麼要讀這封信？你能夠為他/她做什麼？
10. 附信的第二段必須推銷你的價值。你那些能夠滿足閱讀者需要和工作要求的技能、能力、資質、和資信是什麼？
11. 附信的第三段民示你突出的成就、成果和教育背景，它們必須能夠直接有力地支持第二段的內容。如果可能的話，量化這些成就。
12. 附信的第四段必須發動將來的行動。請求安排面試，或者告訴閱讀者你將在一周內打電話給他們，商談下一步進程。
13. 附信的第五段應該是非常簡短的一段，結束這封信並表示感謝。
14. 在附信中展示你獨特的解決問題的技能，並且用特定事例加以支持。
15. 如果沒有被要求，不宜在附信中談論薪金。
16. 如果你要求提供薪金的歷史記錄和待遇要求，那么你就適度地打開這扇“窗”（例如，低至中等水平），並且註明這是可以再協商的（如果可以的話）。
17. 確保附信有職業風範。
18. 確保附信中絕對不出現拼寫、列印、和語法錯誤。
19. 確保附信簡短達意。絕對不要雜亂無章言之無物。
20. 不要說謊或者誇大其辭。你在附信和簡歷中說的一切都必須能夠在面試中得到支持和證實。
21. 小心不要濫用代詞“我”。聯繫公司正在做的事和他們可能的需要。與之對就原，解釋你如何能夠融入公司的戰略並且幫助克服在實現公司目標的過程中，可能會出現的潛在障礙。
22. 在附信中迴避負面和相互矛盾的話題。附信和簡歷的目的是要向前跨出你最好的一條腿。那些負面材料（頻繁離職、先前的職位終止等等）能夠在面試中採用變通的方法處理。
23. 如果你通過傳真傳送附信，只要傳真號碼同你的電話號碼一道已經在抬頭中註明，你就不需要再使用傳真傳送格式了。
24. 使用敬語結束附信。
25. 確保簽署上你的姓名。

job application
may 22nd
dear mr. cavendish,
i saw your advertisement in the local paper this evening，and i wonder if you would consider me for a job as a waiter this summer.
i am seventeen years old and at present i am studying english and economics. when i leave school, i hope to take a course in hotel management. during the school holidays last summer, i worked as a waiter at the central hotel. the headwaiter there, mr. macintosh, will be pleased to send you a recommendation for me.
i would prefer to work in your hotel in filey because it is near my home. however, if there isn’t any job there for me, perhaps you could consider me for the scarborough hotel.
i would be pleased if you will send me information about the pay and conditions of the job to be offered. i will be free to begin work in the fourth week of july when the school holidays start.
yours sincerely,
peter tuck

行文點評
這是一封典型的求職信。第一段開門見山，表明寫信的目的是求職。同時，也註明了訊息和應聘職位。第二段開始介紹求職者的情況，(注意：所寫的情況最好能體現出你十分適合所應聘的職位)。信中第三段特別陳述了一個不情之請並說明原因。最後一段表明自己希望得到回覆，並說明自己可以開始工作的具體時間。
這封信符合求職信的結構要求，語言簡潔，語氣禮貌大方。
好文妙譯
求職信
親愛的卡文迪斯先生：
我在今晚的地方報紙上看到了你們的廣告，我想在這個夏天做一份服務生的工作，敬請考慮。
我十七歲，現在正在學習英文和經濟學。畢業後，我希望能夠學習酒店管理課程。去年暑假時，我在中央酒店作服務生。那兒的領班麥金托什先生會很樂意向您寄交一封關於我的推薦信。
我比較喜歡在您的費雷酒店工作，因為那兒離我家不遠。但如果那兒沒有我的工作機會，也許您可以考慮讓我去斯卡伯勒酒店。
如果您能寄給我有關這份工作的薪水和工作環境的一些信息，我會非常高興。我可以從七月的第四個星期開始工作，那時學校開始放假了。
彼得·塔克
