　　求職信和工作簡歷一定要引起繁忙的讀者的興趣，他可能只用一分鐘的時間來決定你是否值得進一步考慮。本文將為你提供如何書寫成功的求職信和工作簡歷的法寶。當然，“成功”意味著通過你的求職信和工作簡歷，你將得到面試的機會。之后，你的人際交往能力助你取得工作。寫求職信和工作簡歷的目的是為了能進入下一步，即參加面式。

　　大多數求職信和工作簡歷是郵寄的，但越來越多的申請人利用因特網來求職。

　　比如，在線服務將工作簡歷存入成千上萬家公司共用的數據庫。利用軟件掃描工作簡歷，找到某一職位所需個人才能的關鍵詞，而后將選出的工作簡歷發往相應的各家公司。

　　無論你是使用網絡技術(如電子郵件或在線簡歷服務)還是仍然使用傳統手段，同樣適用這一寫作原則，即：你的求職信不要超過一頁紙，主要談你要申請的工作和本人的主要賣點;工作簡歷，一頁紙或最多兩頁紙，主要簡明地、條理清楚地、著重介紹你的工作經歷。
