1．在信中你必须要以一两句话来表达你为何会对你所应征的工作感兴趣。
2．告诉收信人你是从何处获悉对方有职位空缺，这实际上是协助对方从事他的招聘统计工作，例如是报纸广告，或电台、政府劳工处等等。
3．告诉对方与你有关的教育、工作经验，甚至是与此有关的个人兴趣、嗜好等。如果你只是刚离校门，也不妨告诉对方你曾做过何种暑期工作，虽然并不一定有关连，但起码向对方表示你具有工作意愿。
4．提供你的若干个人资料，例如年龄、婚姻情况、兴趣、种族、你所参与的团体活动等。
5．提供两三个担保人的姓名及其电话号码。他们能够对你的为人及工作知识有所了解，他们最好是你的前房主或以前的老师。
6．表示你很想获得面试机会，而事实上这也是你写这封来职信的目的，何不言明，争取获得这个机会。如果你前赴面试的时间有所限制，也须于信中说明，但不要把时间限制得太紧。
7．措词项直接，不要转弯抹角。要给对方一个印象你所感兴趣的是他的公司和他所提供的工作性质，而非你自己的个人兴趣。你也须表示礼貌，但不要太过份，更不要表示谦卑。
8．不要为你的技能、经验过份夸张而使人产生自吹自擂的感觉，也不要过份谦躬、必须有碗讲碗、有碟讲碟。也不要自称品学兼优、勤奋好学、工作态度认真等等，这些应该是担保人说的话，不是你自己说的话。
9. 到最后检查你的求职信，反复阅读，看清楚没有问题才寄出你这封信。

Dear Sir，
Four years as a senior clerk in sales department of the New World Products Company have，I believe，given me the experience to qualify for the job you advertised in Thursday's
newspaper．
Since 1981 I have been responsible for all office details in the administration of sales, including writing much of the correspondence. In the course of my work，I have become familiar with the various sales territories，and have also in my spare time experience of handling business problems other than my proper sphere．
The years before I was employed at the New World，I was a secretary for Long Brother，an accounting firm．There I became familiar with accounting terms and procedures．
I was graduated at Wah Yan College，in June 1974．I am twenty－five years of age and single．
I am leaving my present position because I can use my capabilities more fully in a position with wider scope．My present employer knows of my ambition and is helping me to find a new place.
May I see you at your office to tell you more about myself and show you just how well I can do the work you require.
Yours faithfully, |

I take the liberty to write you in the hope that you might need someone to fill in for you. I feel that I am qualified as an administrator.

I have excellent grades in all my subjects. If you wish to look at these information it will be sent to you later.
I have worked at a trading company as a secretary, but I hope to seek more responsible employment.
I am 25 years old and very honest and dependable. If you need someone with my qualifications, please let me know.

Dear Sir，
I would like to ask you to consider my qualification for the position in sales that you advertised in last week's newspaper.
I graduated from the College of Business in June of 1986. Since that time I have been taking night courses at Polytechnics in Sales Techniques and Mass Media Advertising.
I have worked as a vehicle salesman for the Ford Co. for the past three years. At present I am their chief salesman and account for over one half of the sales. Before my present employment, I worked for the Chains Department Store as a salesclerk in the electrical appliance section. We worked mainly on commission and I was able to earn a substantial amount although I was very young.
I would like to make a change now because I feel that I can go no further in my present job, I feel that my ability and my training should enable me to advance into a better and more responsible position, and it appears that this will not be forthcoming at my present position.
If you would like to know more about my ability, I can be available for an interview at any time convenient to you.
Sincerely yours,
