英文求職信通常包括五個組成部分：寫信動機、自我介紹、本人能力、結尾、附件。 寫求職信的過程本身也就反映出了你的外語水平，故應儘量做到語言規範、符合外文習慣，減少語法錯誤。
求職信如何獲得面試機會
一、表現個人特色
求職的信件要具個人特色、親切且能體現出專業水平。切不可過於隨意，也不能拘泥於格式——商業信函應該是一種既正式、又非正式的文體。句子結構和長度應富於變化，使閱信人總保持興趣。內容、語氣、用詞的選擇和對希望的表達要積極，應該充分顯示出你是一個樂觀、有責任心、有創造力和通情達理的人。
二、表達簡潔
語言表達要簡潔明瞭，避免使用太多的專業術語和過分複雜的句子。一方面用人單位不會在一份簡歷 上花費太多的時間;另外一個方面，簡潔的語言表述也能體現出你珍惜他人的時間。
三、切忌全英文
一國企招聘負責人介紹說，有的求職者在自己的簡歷裡，英文材料比中文材料多，其實只有該職位需要使用英語，用人單位才會注重應聘者的外語水平及表達能力。瞭解應聘單位基本情況，在簡歷中表現出自己對該單位親和、仰慕，也會使招聘負責人感興趣，增大求職的成功率。
四、表現能力
如果你是IT人才，在簡歷中詳細描述你的IT技能和專案經驗是很重要的，當你描述專案經驗時，一定要特別將該專案的軟、硬體環境、開發工具寫清楚，並詳細描述你在該專案中的具體職責。如果你是高階人才，業績能充分證明你的能力和價值，請詳細描述你取得的業績的具體內容。但是，不要說假話。
求職信範文
Dear Mr. Huang，
I am interested in applying for a position as a electronic engineer at CenturyCom. I found the position advertised at the placement office at Fudan University. I will graduate in June in electronical engineering and hope to start my career at that time. During the past four years I have had a good deal of academic experience in communication technology. As an active member of the Fudan Society of Computer Communication， I learned much about the practical challenges mechanical engineers face each day， and about the strategic significances of collaborating with fellow team members. In my position with Excelcom， I was able to test and sharpen the skills I was learning at school and use them on a regular basis. In addition to the responsibilities noted in my resume， I designed an innovative software program that compiled data used by other firms and interpreted the results for the sales division at Excelcom.
My experience of working with others has given me confidence in my interpersonal skills and decision-making abilities， particularly in the area of computer communication. And I believe that making a contribution to a general goal goes much further than simply possessing skills; one must have the ability to work toward a consensus everyone can live with.
I am available for an interview at any time convenient to you. I can be reached by phone at 48202928. Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely， Pan Yanggang
