二、求职信(Cover Letter)
在求职过程中，除了利用履历表来简介并推销自己外，依例仍须附上一封求职信，告诉求才单位，你对该工作之胜任及申请意愿。履历表是求职程序中之主体，但求职信却可补其不足，达到画龙点睛，锦上添花之妙用。因此可将一些无法在履历表中充分发挥之个人专长或才能，透过求职信详细说明，藉由履历表及求职信之相辅相成，争取到面试的机会。
1、求职信的格式(Format)：
(1)如商业文书，信首右上方是发信地址及发信日期。接下来，左上方则是收信人姓名、职称、收信地址(包括公司名称)，有关收信人之姓名及职称应调查清楚。如不确定，可去电该公司总机查询，并查询该人事甄选负责人之姓名，以便冠称
Mr.or Ms.(Mrs.)。
(2)敬称语：Dear Mr., Mrs.or Ms.姓，只称呼其姓，而不须全名列出(但需注意的是，前文提到收信人，则应列出全名，即 Mr.
(firstname)+(last name)，此敬称语千万不可因不确定收信人为何而以 "To whom it may concern"
取代，此举让人觉得草率而且缺乏诚意。
(3)正文：通常分为三至四段，并且以一页为原则，除非必要，方使用二页。
a、第一段：说明写此信之原因，从那里得知此工作，例如就业辅导处 (Career Center, Placement Office)
、报纸、朋友、师长;欲应征何种职位，并简介自己资历与职位要求相吻合，进而说明工作目标。但注意此处所提之工作目标应与履历表中所列之工作目标一致。例如：
Ms Dorothy Johes from your faculty encouraged me to write you regarding a
possible teaching position in North High School when I graduated from
college. This June I will receive the B.A.degree from Indiana University, and I
would like to teach in my hometown, Columbus, Ohio. (Source: Your Job or
Graduate School Search, P191.)
b、第二段：说明你为何对该工作感兴趣，为何你认为你的资历符合工作要求，并进一步阐述自己之专业才能、工作经验、所修课程，避免复述履历表的用语。例：
You will see from my resume that I have strong quantitative background:15
credits of advanced high school and college mathematics, including basic and
advanced calculus, probability and statistics, and basic accounting,
GPA:3.6.(Source: "Resume Writing," "The Cover Letter," Career Service Center,
Princeton University, P19.)
c、第三段：指出随函附寄履历表供参考，同时说明履历表中乃记载个人之相关资历及背景。这段可长可短，或者与前段对照(前段可写学业表现)，另再举证工作表现，说明自己的才能乃应征职位之所需。例：
Enclosed is my resume to detail my backgrounds and qualifications.
或将附寄一事独立于结论之首，此段仅进一步说明资历。总之，务必让收信人明白履历表己随函附寄。
(4)结论：希望收信人收悉后会采取一些有利之行动，如提供面试或电话访谈。或者更积极主动说明电询或拜访之意。
例一： I would be happy to meet with you and discuss career opportunities at
(公司名).
例二： I would like to discuss career opportunities and my qualification with
you personally.
若有地利之便或时间许可，可能于几月几日几点电询申请结果或当面会谈。最后可加上客套话如：Thank you for your
consideration或 I am looking forward to our meeting.
三、注意事项
1、每封信应原版打字打印，不可以影印本代替。
2、所有寄出去的信都应保留影本，以备查阅并回函。
3、纸张以白色及淡白色为主，三折放入9-10吋大之信封内。
4、信末一定要记得签名，工作性质不同之信最好分别撰写，不要以通稿代之。但若性质雷同之工作，以同内容之信分寄不同公司时，应仔细核对信首、信中及信封提到公司名称时皆完全一致，免得张冠李戴，错误百出。
5、用语简洁，避免陈腔滥调及空泛含糊的字句，语气力求平实不花俏，同时每段起首避免以主词 "I"开头，字里行间充满自信，但不夸大。
6、寄信时，避免在收信人于星期一或星期五收到，若有截止日期或是应征报纸广告上之工作者，则愈早寄愈好，免得人选补齐后，不再录用。
7、求职数据寄出后，尽管文情并茂，颇具说服力，但也不能保证一定有面谈机会。不过当寄出后二周内仍未收到回音，则不妨去电询问应征结果，以示对此事之重视及态度之积极。
