六、實例分析
（一）寫求職信可按下列具體的七個步驟進行，下面舉例說明
假設你叫李平，你從報上得知某公司欲招聘一名英語翻譯，你將給該公司經理寫一份求職信，你的個人資料如下所述。
1．
簡況：姓名，李平；年齡， 30歲；身高， 1.80米；健康狀況，良好；業余愛好，游泳、唱歌、跳舞。
2．簡歷：
1994年北京大學畢業后分配到南通中學工作；1996年調至蘇州中學工作至今。
3．
個性：工作認真負責，與人相處融洽。
4．
特長：精通英語，尤其擅長口語，已將多本中文書籍譯成英語，懂一些日語，能用
日語與外賓對話。聯系電話：3654731 聯系地址：蘇州市人民路一號寫作步驟：第一步：介紹消息來源。介紹消息來源實際上是求職信的開篇交代句，它可使求職信
顯得自然、流暢；不介紹消息來源，會使收信人感到意外、突然，文章也缺乏過渡和照應，本文消息來源可作如下介紹： Dear manager，I learned from the newspaper that your company wanted to hire an English
translator.
第二步：表明求職心愿。介紹完消息來源后，應向收信人表明自己的求職心愿，即寫信的目的，本文求職心愿可作如下介紹：
I’m interested in this job very much. I’d like to get this job.
第三步：介紹個人簡歷。某單位需要新人，求職人也有求職心愿，但這并不意味著這項工作非你莫屬。如果你沒有干好這項工作的經歷、實力，也是難以勝任的。因此，介紹個人簡歷是必不可少的。本文個人簡歷可介紹如下：
