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。
replyingtoyouradvertisement...
answeringyouradvertisement...
believingthatthereisanopportunity...
thinkingthatthereisavacancyinyourcompany...
havingreadyourad...
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)replyingtoyourrecentadvertisementinthebostoneveningglobe,iwishtoapplyforthepositionofsalesmanager.
(2)iamapplyingforthepositionofsalesmanager.ibelievemyqualificationswillmeetyourexactingrequirements.
b:
(1)ibelieveafterreadingyouradvertisementinthismorning'sjournalthatyouareofferingjusttheopportunityiamlookingfor.
(2)youradvertisementinthismorning'sjournalforanadjustmentmanagerpromptedmetoapplyforthisposition.
c:

(2)inyouradvertisementforanaccountant,youindicatedthatyourequiretheservicesofacompetentperson,withthoroughtraininginthefieldofcostaccounting.pleaseconsidermeanapplicantfortheposition.herearemyreasonsforbelievingiamqualifiedforthiswork.
二、在提到希望得到的待遇时，可用类似的句子：
i'dprefernottosetasalary,butsinceyouask,iconsider6,500amonthtobesatisfactory.
it'shardformetosaywhatmysalaryshouldbesetat,butifpressediwouldhavetoaskforamonthasaninitialsalary.
idon'tfeelthatishouldsetmyownsalary,asiamhappyenoughtohavetheprivilegeofworkingforyou.however,iwouldconsideramonthsatisfactorycompensationformyapprenticeship.
三、提起或要求待遇时不要过分谦虚或表示歉意，下列句子不宜使用：
asforsalary,idonotknowwhattosay.would$4,500amonthbetoomuch?
doyouthinkiwouldbeaskingtoomuchifisaid5,000dollarsamonth?
youknowwhatmyservicesareworthbetterthanido.alliwantisalivingwage.
四、关于求职信的结尾用语，下面也有三组例句。每一组里面(1)句较差，经过修改后(2)句显得比较恰当。
a:
(1)软弱、羞怯的：ifyouthinkicanfillthepositionafteryouhavereadmyletter,ishallbegladtotalkwithyou.
(2)改写后(较佳)：ifmyqualificationsmeetyourstandards,iwouldbehappytospeakwithyouinperson.
b:
(1)怀疑，不妥、不安全的：ifyouareinterested,pleaseletmeknowimmediately,asi'msureaninterviewwillconvinceyoui'mthemanforthejob.
(2)改写后：iwouldliketorequestaninterview.youcanreachmebytelephoneatbeijing123456betweenthehoursof7-9a.m.and5:30-9:30p.m.anyevening.
c:
(1)哀求式的句子，不够完整(漏掉面谈时间)：iwouldappreciatetheopportunityforaninterview.icanbereachedbycallingbeijing12345678.
(2)改写后：mayihavetheopportunitytodiscussthismatterfurtherwithyou?mytelephonenumberisbeijing12345678.youcanreachmebetweennineandfiveo'clockduringtheday.
