六、实例分析
（一）写求职信可按下列具体的七个步骤进行，下面举例说明
假设你叫李平，你从报上得知某公司欲招聘一名英语翻译，你将给该公司经理写一份求职信，你的个人资料如下所述。
1．
简况：姓名，李平；年龄， 30岁；身高， 1.80米；健康状况，良好；业余爱好，游泳、唱歌、跳舞。
2．简历：

4．
特长：精通英语，尤其擅长口语，已将多本中文书籍译成英语，懂一些日语，能用
日语与外宾对话。联系电话：3654731 联系地址：苏州市人民路一号写作步骤：第一步：介绍消息来源。介绍消息来源实际上是求职信的开篇交代句，它可使求职信
显得自然、流畅；不介绍消息来源，会使收信人感到意外、突然，文章也缺乏过渡和照应，本文消息来源可作如下介绍： Dear manager，I learned from the newspaper that your company wanted to hire an English
translator.
第二步：表明求职心愿。介绍完消息来源后，应向收信人表明自己的求职心愿，即写信的目的，本文求职心愿可作如下介绍：
I’m interested in this job very much. I’d like to get this job.
第三步：介绍个人简历。某单位需要新人，求职人也有求职心愿，但这并不意味着这项工作非你莫属。如果你没有干好这项工作的经历、实力，也是难以胜任的。因此，介绍个人简历是必不可少的。本文个人简历可介绍如下：
