求職信是用來向某一單位求取一份工作的信函，它屬於廣義的申請信的一種。之所以將求職信與其他型別的申請信分開來寫，是因為其目前應用的.普遍性和重要性，因此希望求職者們給予足夠的重視。
寫求職信時，要注意以下幾點：
1、明確指出自己為什麼對該工作感興趣;
2、使信件內容符合工作的特點;
3、準確迴應僱主的要求;
4、強調相關的細節資訊，譬如說教育背景、工作經驗和個人才能;
5、爭取做到簡潔和清晰;
6、信件要帶有個人特色;
7、留下地址和名字。
下面給出一封齊頭式的求職信，省略了信頭和信內地址，從稱呼開始。
Dear Sir or Madam:
I am writing in response to the advertisement you placed in the Sunday paper for a sales manager in your company. Your company has a reputation for producing high-quality products like Mandolin network system. I am interested in joining such a professional organization.
As you can see from the enclosed resume, my previous work in an export company has provided me with lots of opportunities to contact all kinds of customers and suppliers home and abroad. By communicating with them, I have got very familiar with the international trade and the current market. Besides, my educational training at university concentrated also on international trade which equipped me with a solid foundation in sales and trade.
As such, I believe that my service could be of great benefit to your company in terms of customer relation and new business connections.
I hope to have an opportunity to meet your human resource manager in order to let you know more about me. I enclose a resume and could be available for an interview at your convenience. Looking forward to hearing from you and thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely yours,
J.S. Wu
