第一步：求職信的目的，如何去說服對方進一步看你的個人簡歷
Always personalize
求職信是針對個人的！
以下是一封針對在線游戲客服職位的求職信：
1. Opening paragraph:
Who you are, what you want
開篇，你是誰，你想要什么，從什么渠道得到職位信息的
Dear Sir or Madam:
I am writing to apply for a post in Player Support Team; my Curriculum Vitae is enclosed with this letter. The advertisement appeared in the latest issue of the vacancy list published by the Careers Service at Northumbria University, where I am in my second year of a degree in Computing Studies.
這里簡單介紹了想要申請的職位，附上個人簡歷，以及在什么地方找到個職位廣告信息，和目前在做什么。
2. Middle paragraph:
Why you are a good candidate
信件主體，為什么你是個好的應征者
As you can see from my CV that I was a part-time volunteer for an online game union for more than 4 years, my duty on this job was to work online with other colleagues to manage the union, dealing problems from members online and interactive with players by holding online game functions. I have worked in different post in different places during my year out between college and university; I was able to make good use of my experience as well as improving myself by learning new skills while working in different challenging post.
As a computer game fan, I have made many Mods(game modifications) for different games by reviewing other players feedback and my own experience to improve the interest of games, a part from making game Mods I also have a 12 years of online game experience, this taught me the basic idea of running online games, solving problems, communicating with others through internet.
這里分成兩段，第一段主要針對性的說下自己對所申請的職位的一些相關工作資料和經驗，第二段則更進一步介紹下自己在其他該職業上的興趣和各種經驗，這樣可以更加進一步提起對方的興趣。
