英語自薦信寫作指導

應(yīng)聘外企免不了要寫一份英文自薦信，你知道有哪些注意點嗎？閱讀本文，你將得到答案。
 
 
一、寫信動機
 
　　通常自薦信是針對報紙上招聘廣告而寫的。若此，信中須提到何月何日的報紙，有時工作機會是從朋友或介紹所聽來的，有時寫信人不知某機構(gòu)、公司有工作機會，毛遂 自薦 。不論哪一種，自薦信上一定要說明寫信的緣由和目的。
 
　　 因此首先應(yīng)該表明你是在何家媒體看到應(yīng)聘廣告以及所要應(yīng)聘的職位。參考例句：
 
　　1.In reply to your advertisement in today's newspaper，I respectfully offer my services for the situation.拜讀今日XX報上貴公司的廣告，本人特此備函應(yīng)征該職位。

　　二、自我介紹
 
　　寫信人應(yīng)述明自己的年齡或出生年月、教育背景，尤其與應(yīng)征職位有關(guān)的訓練或教育科目、工作經(jīng)驗或特殊技能。如無實際經(jīng)驗，略述在學類似經(jīng)驗亦可。參考例句：
