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。
