毕业生必看:英语求职信的写作要点 1
那么,如何用地道流利的英语写好一份求职信呢?关键要处理好求职信的五个组成部分:写信动机、自我介绍、本人能力、结尾、附件。
一、写信动机
通常求职信是针对报纸上招聘广告而写的。若此,信中须提到何月何日的报纸,有时工作机会是从朋友或介绍所听来的,有时写信人不知某机构、公司有工作机会,毛遂自荐。不论哪一种,求职信上一定要说明写信的缘由和目的。
因此首先应该表明你是在何家媒体看到应聘广告以及所要应聘的职位。参考例句:
1.In reply to your advertisement in todays newspaper,I respectfully offer my services for the situation。拜读今日XX报上贵公司的广告,本人特此备函应征该职位。
2.Replying to your advertisement into- days issue of the(newspaper),I wish to apply for the position in your esteemed firm。拜读贵公司在今日(报纸)上广告,特此备函应征贵公司该职位。
3.With reference to your advertisement in(newspaper)of May 2for a clerk,I offer myself for the post。从五月二日XX报上广告栏得知贵公司招聘一位职员,我愿应招。
4.I wish to apply for the position advertised in the enclosed clipping from the(newspaper)of November 12.谨随函附上十一月十二日XX报贵公司招聘广告,我愿应招此职位。
5.In answer to your advertisement into- days newspaper for a secretary,I wish to tender my services。阁下在今日XX报上刊登招聘秘书广告,本人获悉,特此应招。
6.Learning from XX that you are looking for a sales manager,I should like to apply for the position。从XX处得悉,贵公司正在招聘一名业务经理,我愿应招此职。
7.Your advertisement for a telephone operator in the newspaper of March 8has interested me,I feel I can fill that position。贵公司三月八日在XX报上刊登招聘电话接线员广告,本人拜读后极感兴趣,相信能担任此职。
二、自我介绍
写信人应述明自己的年龄或出生年月、教育背景,尤其与应征职位有关的训练或教育科目、工作经验或特殊技能。如无实际经验,略述在学类似经验亦可。参考例句:
1.For the past three years,I have been in the office of the XX Trading Co., where I have been an accountant。本人曾经在XX贸易公司服务三年,担任会计工作。
2.I am twenty years of age,and have been employed for the last two years by the XX Co.,in the general clerical work of the office。我今年20岁,曾在XX公司服务两年,担任一般文员工作。
3.I am twenty years of age,and am anxious to settle down to office work。本人20岁,希望能找到一个公司,以便安定下来。
4.Since my graduation from the school two years ago, I have been employed in XX Hotel as a cashier。两年前离校后,在XX酒店担任出纳员。
三、本人能力
这部分非常重要,因为这体现你究竟能为公司做什么,直接关系到求职的成功率。但是也要注意一定要用最少的文字表达最多的意思。参考例句:
1.I am able to take dictation in English and translate it rapidly into Chinese。我会英文的口授笔记,同时能立即将其翻译成中文。
2.I have received an English education, and have a slight knowledge of Spanish.I took a Spanish course in college。本人接受英文教育,同时略通西班牙文。大学时,我修了西班牙文。
3.I have been at the City Commercial College,where I have acquired a knowledge of English,mathematics and elementary business practice。本人曾在城市商专学英文、数学以及初级商业实务。
4.I have just left school,but have a good knowledge of English。本人虽刚离开校门,但英文很好。
5.At school I won a scholarship and the first prize in a speech contest。求学中,我曾获奖学金及演讲比赛一等奖。
6.I am a graduate of Hong Kong University,and have in addition an M.A.degree from UCLA。本人毕业于香港大学,并在加州大学获得文学硕士学位。
7.Since leaving school,I have attended Typewriting and Shorthand classes,and have now attained a speed of fifty and ninety words respectively。离开学校后,我参加打字与速记班,而今已达到打字50字,速记90字的速度。
四、结尾
希望并请求未来的雇主允以面谈的`机会,因此信中要表明可以面谈的时间。成功的求职信决不是虎头蛇尾的,结尾一定要引起重视。参考例句:
1.I should be glad to have a personal in- terview and can furnish references if desired。如获面试,则感幸甚。如需保证人,本人也可提出。
2.I request an interview,and assure you that if appointed,I will do my best to give you satisfaction。恳请惠予面试之荣。如蒙录用,本人必竭尽所能,为贵公司服务,以符厚望。
3.If you desire an interview,I shall be most happy to call in person,on any day and at any time you may appoint。如贵公司有意面试,本人一定遵照所指定的时日,前往拜访。
4.Should you think favorably of my application,I would like to have an interview。如对本人之应征优先考虑,恳请惠予面试之机会。
5.I hope that you will be kind enough to consider my application favorably。恳请惠予考虑本人之申请为盼。
6.Should this application meet with your favorable consideration,I will do my utmost to justify the confidence you may repose in me。对此申请,贵公司如惠予考虑,本人将尽最大的忠诚与努力,为贵公司效劳。
7.Should you entertain my application favorably,I would spare no trouble to acquit my- self to your satisfaction。假如应征获得青睐而进入贵公司服务,本人必以排除万难之决心,为贵公司工作,以符厚望。
8.I wish to assure you that,if successful,I would endeavor to give you every satisfaction。如蒙不弃,惠予录用,本人将尽力服务,使诸事满意。
五、附件
这部分视具体情况而定,如有详细的简历或用人单位需要的材料附在求职信中时,需要注明。参考例句:
1.You will find enclosed an outline of my education and business training and copies of two letters of recommendation。有关本人的学历、工作经验等项的概要,谨同函呈上两件推荐函。
2.Enclosed please find a resume and a photo。随函寄上简历表及相片各一份。
3.A copy of my transcript is enclosed。附寄成绩单一份。
4.Enclosed you will find a letter of re-
commendation from my former teacher of Eng- lish。随函附上我英文老师的推荐函。

一、结构框架:三段式黄金逻辑,清晰无冗余
英语求职信需遵循 “开门见山 — 核心论证 — 收尾行动” 的三段式结构,避免内容混乱或逻辑跳跃,符合外企招聘方的阅读习惯。
1. 开头段(Opening Paragraph):精准定位,快速关联
必含要素:明确申请岗位(Job Title)、信息来源(如招聘网站、校园宣讲会、内推人)、核心身份标签(如 “XX 大学英语专业应届毕业生,持有 CET-6 证书”),一句话点明 “你是谁、申请什么岗位、为何投递”。
示例:“I am writing to apply for the position of International Business Trainee advertised on your official website. As a senior majoring in English at XX University, with a CET-6 certificate and 2 months of internship experience in cross-border e-commerce, I am eager to bring my language proficiency and teamwork skills to your team.”
避坑提醒:不泛泛而谈 “我想申请贵公司的岗位”,需精准写出岗位名称;不堆砌无关信息(如高中获奖经历),开头 3 句话内完成 “身份 — 岗位 — 关联点” 的衔接。
2. 中间段(Body Paragraphs):锚定需求,用 “经历 + 成果” 证明适配性
这是求职信的核心,需围绕 “岗位要求” 展开,避免空泛的. “我学习能力强、有责任心”,而是用校园经历、实习经历、项目经历作为 “证据”,体现你能为岗位创造价值。
写作逻辑:岗位要求→你的经历→具体行动→可量化 / 可感知的成果。
示例(若岗位要求 “具备基础客户沟通能力”):“During my internship at XX E-commerce Co., Ltd., I was responsible for assisting the sales team in replying to English inquiries from overseas customers. I handled 5-8 emails daily, including product introductions and after-sales coordination, and successfully resolved 3 customer complaints, resulting in a 90% customer satisfaction rate reported by my supervisor.”
毕业生优势挖掘:若缺乏正式实习,可聚焦校园经历(如英语辩论赛、国际交流项目、志愿者活动):“As the team leader of the English Debate Club, I organized 8 inter-college debate competitions, coordinated 20+ participants, and improved the club’s participation rate by 30% compared to the previous year. This experience enhanced my cross-team communication and problem-solving skills, which I believe are valuable for the Customer Service position.”
关键原则:每段聚焦 1 个核心能力(如语言能力、团队协作、执行力),不超过 2 个段落,避免 “流水账” 式罗列经历。
3. 结尾段(Closing Paragraph):表达诚意,明确下一步行动
核心内容:重申对岗位的热情、对公司的认可(可简要提及公司业务或价值观,体现 “做过功课”)、主动提出后续沟通意愿(如 “期待面试机会”)、礼貌收尾。
示例:“I am particularly impressed by your company’s focus on sustainable development in the international market, which aligns with my personal career values. I would greatly appreciate the opportunity to discuss how my skills and experiences can contribute to your team. Please feel free to contact me via email (xx@xxx.com) or phone (138xxxx8888) at your convenience. Thank you for considering my application.”
避坑提醒:不卑微乞求(如 “I hope you can give me a chance”),保持自信专业;不遗漏联系方式(需与简历一致),避免让招聘方 “找不到你”。
二、内容要点:贴合毕业生身份,突出 “潜力” 与 “适配性”
毕业生缺乏全职工作经验,需在内容上规避 “短板”,放大 “独特优势”,让招聘方看到 “你虽无经验,但值得培养”。
1. 语言能力:量化呈现,关联岗位需求
英语能力是毕业生申请涉外岗位的核心优势,需避免仅写 “英语流利”,而要 “量化 + 场景化” 呈现:
证书:明确写出证书名称及分数(如 “CET-6: 580/710”“TOEFL: 95/120”“BEC Vantage: Pass with Merit”);
应用能力:结合场景说明(如 “能独立完成英语商务邮件撰写”“可协助进行英文合同初稿翻译”“曾担任国际学术会议志愿者,负责外籍嘉宾接待与沟通”)。
2. 实践经历:聚焦 “可迁移技能”,而非 “岗位经验”
无全职经验时,校园实践、短期实习、课程项目均可作为素材,但需提炼 “可迁移技能”(如沟通、协调、执行、学习能力),并关联岗位要求:
例 (申请行政助理岗位):“As the class monitor, I was responsible for organizing monthly class meetings and collecting feedback from 45 classmates. I summarized key points into reports and communicated with teachers, which improved my document organization and cross-stakeholder communication skills—essential for an Administrative Assistant role.”
3. 公司认知:体现 “针对性”,避免 “模板化”
招聘方反感 “一封求职信投遍所有公司”,毕业生需花 5-10 分钟了解公司业务、价值观或近期动态,在信中简要提及,体现 “你是真心想来这家公司”:
业务关联:“I noticed your company has recently launched a new cross-border e-commerce platform targeting European markets. My internship experience in assisting with European customer service would allow me to quickly adapt to this business focus.”
价值观认同:“Your company’s commitment to ‘innovating for a greener future’ resonates with me. During my college years, I participated in a campus recycling project, which taught me the importance of sustainability—something I hope to contribute to in your team.”
三、语言风格:专业得体,避免 “中式英语” 与 “过度口语化”
英语求职信的语言需平衡 “专业度” 与 “亲和力”,符合商务沟通场景,同时避免毕业生易犯的语言错误。
1. 语气:自信专业,礼貌得体
多用积极主动的动词(如 “developed, improved, coordinated, assisted, achieved”),少用被动语态(如 “was done by me”);
避免口语化表达(如 “Anyway, I’m really good at English”),改用正式表达(如 “I am confident in my English proficiency, which enables me to handle daily communication tasks effectively”);
避免绝对化表述(如 “I can do everything well”),改用客观表述(如 “I am willing to learn quickly and contribute to the team with my existing skills”)。
2. 词汇:精准适配岗位,避免 “大词滥用”
行业词汇:根据岗位适当使用(如申请外贸岗位可用 “cross-border trade, order processing, customs declaration”;申请教育岗位可用 “lesson planning, student guidance, teaching assistance”);
避坑提醒:不盲目使用复杂词汇(如用 “utilize” 代替 “use”,用 “facilitate” 代替 “help”),若把握不准,优先用简洁准确的基础词汇,避免 “用词错误”(如将 “coordinate” 误写为 “cooperate”)。
3. 语法:规避 “低级错误”,细节见专业
毕业生易犯的语法错误(如时态混乱、单复数错误、介词错误)会严重影响招聘方印象,需重点检查:
时态:描述过去经历用一般过去时(如 “interned, organized, achieved”),描述当前能力用一般现在时(如 “have, am good at, can”);
单复数:岗位名称、公司名称注意单复数(如 “the position of Marketing Trainee”“your company” 为单数);
介词:固定搭配准确(如 “apply for the position”“major in English”“experience in sth”“skilled at sth”)。
四、细节避坑:这些 “小错误” 会让你错失机会
求职信的细节往往决定 “成败”,毕业生需逐一排查,避免因 “粗心” 浪费申请机会。
1. 格式规范:符合商务信函要求
排版:采用 “齐头式”(所有段落左对齐,无缩进),段落间距为 1.5 倍行距,字体用 Arial 或 Times New Roman(字号 11-12 号),确保一页内完成;
抬头:准确写出招聘方姓名及职位(如 “Dear Ms. Smith, Hiring Manager”“Dear Hiring Team”,若不知道姓名,用 “Dear Hiring Manager” 而非 “Dear Sir/Madam”);
落款:正式落款格式(如 “Sincerely,” 或 “Best regards,” 后空 3-4 行,手写签名(若打印)+ 打印姓名 + 联系方式)。
2. 信息一致性:与简历 “无缝衔接”
基本信息:姓名、联系方式(电话、邮箱)、教育背景(学校、专业、毕业时间)需与简历完全一致,避免 “简历写 CET-6 580 分,求职信写 550 分”;
经历描述:同一经历的时间、细节需一致(如简历写 “2024.06-2024.08 某公司实习”,求职信不可写 “2024 年暑假 某公司实习”)。
3. 查重与校对:拒绝 “模板抄袭”,避免 “低级错误”
查重:用 Grammarly、DeepL 等工具检查 “中式英语” 和语法错误,避免直接复制网上模板(招聘方看过多封模板信,易识别 “抄袭”);
人工校对:写完后至少通读 2 遍,或请同学、老师帮忙检查(重点看 “是否有拼写错误”“逻辑是否通顺”“是否符合岗位要求”)。
五、适配调整:根据岗位类型,优化内容侧重点
不同类型的岗位(如技术岗、商务岗、教育岗)对求职信的需求不同,毕业生需针对性调整内容,避免 “千篇一律”。
1. 商务类岗位(如外贸、跨境电商、国际业务)
重点突出:英语沟通能力、跨文化协作经验、基础商务技能(如邮件撰写、客户对接、订单跟进);
示例片段:“During my internship at XX Trading Company, I assisted the sales team in processing 20+ export orders, including drafting English commercial invoices and communicating with logistics companies. I also translated 5 product catalogs into English, which were used in the company’s overseas exhibitions. These experiences have equipped me with basic knowledge of international trade processes—exactly what the International Business Assistant role requires.”
2. 技术类岗位(如 IT 技术支持、工程助理)
重点突出:专业技能(如编程、软件操作)、英语技术文档阅读能力、项目实践经历;
示例片段:“As a Computer Science major, I have learned programming languages such as Python and Java, and am proficient in using Excel for data analysis. I recently completed a course project where I developed a simple English learning app prototype, which involved reading English technical documents to solve interface design issues. This experience has strengthened my technical skills and English technical reading ability, making me suitable for the IT Support position.”
3. 教育类岗位(如英语助教、国际学校行政)
重点突出:英语教学相关经验(如家教、支教)、沟通表达能力、耐心与责任感;
示例片段:“For the past year, I have worked as an English tutor for 3 middle school students, helping them improve their oral English and writing skills. One student’s English exam score increased from 70 to 85/100, and another won the school’s English speech contest. This experience taught me how to adapt teaching methods to different students’ needs—an important skill for an English Teaching Assistant.”
总结:毕业生英语求职信的 “黄金公式”
一封优秀的毕业生英语求职信 = 清晰三段式结构 + 贴合岗位的 “经历 + 成果” 论证 + 专业得体的语言 + 细节无错的格式。毕业生需记住:招聘方看求职信,不是找 “完美的候选人”,而是找 “适配岗位、有潜力、态度认真” 的候选人。只要围绕 “我是谁、我能为岗位做什么、我为什么想来这里” 三个核心问题,突出自身优势,规避低级错误,就能写出让招聘方眼前一亮的英语求职信。
