22、源，會使收信人感到意外、突然，文章也缺乏過渡、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.8.3Writing Tips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待句，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：Im interested in this job very much.

23、riting Tips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(jīng)歷、實力，也是難以適應的。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：Now Id like to introduce myself to you.

25、操勝券。本文可通過如下方法擺出自己的優(yōu)勢：I work hard and I can get along well with others. Im good at English and especially my spoken English is very good. Ive translated many Chinese books into English. I can understand Japanese and I can talk to foreigners in Japanese freely.8.3Writing Tips第四步：擺出求職優(yōu)勢僅有一定的工作經(jīng)歷而沒有自身的優(yōu)

26、勢和特長第五步：提出獲職打算豐富的工作經(jīng)驗，一定的優(yōu)勢和特長，只能代表過去和現(xiàn)在的情況，如果獲職后自以為心愿已了，從此高枕無憂，馬虎從事，那也是得不到用人單位認可的。表明自己獲職后努力工作的決心是感動用人單位的領導從而順利謀得此項工作的重要一環(huán)。 If you agree with me，Ill work hard and try to be a good translator.8.3Writing Tips第五步：提出獲職打算豐富的工作經(jīng)驗，一定的優(yōu)勢和特長，只能代第六步：請求答復聯(lián)系如果單位領導同意了你的求職要求，你必然要請他和你聯(lián)系，以便你及時做好準備，到用人單位應聘或報到。為準確起見，

27、請求答復聯(lián)系時你還應當提供你的通訊地址、郵政編碼、電話號碼、電子信箱等。本文答復聯(lián)系的內(nèi)容可作如下介紹：If you agree with me，please write a letter to me or phone me. I live at No.1 Renmin Road，Suzhou city. My telephone number is 3654371.8.3Writing Tips第六步：請求答復聯(lián)系如果單位領導同意了你的求職要求，你必然要第七步：表明感激之情無論你的請求是否能夠得到滿意的答復，你給用人單位寫信就是給對方添了麻煩，因此你應向對方表明感激之情。本文可這樣來表明感激

28、之情：Thank you very much.上述七步內(nèi)容聯(lián)成一個整體，再加上下面的信尾，就成為一封完整的求職信。Yours Truly， LiPing8.3Writing Tips第七步：表明感激之情無論你的請求是否能夠得到滿意的答復，你給（二）參考實例：假如你是王林，李明是你的好友，他對Brown先生的公司（firm）感興趣，打算到該公司謀職（apply for a position）。請根據(jù)下面李明的簡歷表，用英語寫一封推薦信，詞數(shù)120左右。姓名：李明, 性別：男,國籍：中國, 出生地：山東濟南, 婚否：已婚，出生日期: 1968年5月1日,通訊地址: 濟南市人民路148號，電話:66
