写 求职信 的目的在于获得职位，一封 求职信 无论如何文辞并茂，令人心动，公司hr主管不见到应聘者本人是不会给予工作机会的。因此， 求职信 的实际目的在于获得面谈的机会。许多人都会copy网上的求职信范本，导致千篇一律，这是非常不可取的。我们已经讲过怎样写求职信，这次我们来谈谈求职信写作中容易被忽略的细节问题。
一、求职信的第一段说明写信的目的，有些专家认为不宜用分词句子，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...
thinking that there is a vacancy in your company...
having read your ad...
再比较下面三组例句。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.
c:
(1) having read your advertisement in the new york times for an accountant, i thought you might be interested in my application.
(2) 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.
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.
