工作申請函通常由兩部分組成，即附函(convering letter)和履歷表(resume)，前者的目的是引起讀者對申請的注意，后者則提供讀者有關(guān)申請人與工作相關(guān)的信息，有時(shí)還附有照片等。

工作申請函語言宜樸素簡練，圍繞雇主的招聘要求，如實(shí)而突出地闡述自己的才能，必要時(shí)附上一些補(bǔ)充材料。記住寫清楚你的地址及電話號碼。請看下例：

Mr. Mdward Hauser

Ecco. Inc.

1200 Mason Avenue

Any City, Oklahoma

Dear Mr. Hauser:

Do you have any work in your Accounting Department for a part-time employee? Miss Miller, of the University Placement Office, has suggested that I write to you, since I would like to work for Ecco after I finish my course at the University. I've heard a lot about Ecco, and I believe it offers a good chance to a man interested in construction work and trained in business.

I'm enclosing a resume that gives details of my life so far. My father died when I was twelve years old, and I've been on my own since fourteen. I'm finishing college plenty late but I've had some experience along the way, with four years in the linitary.

I could work every afternoon and all day Saturday. Mr. Albert Sussam at the University can tell you about my work in accounting. He is Chairman of the Accounting Department and my adviser.

Please look over the attached resume. I can come to your office, if you wish. My telephone number (home) is Freeport 5883-1552.

Sincerely yours

(signature)

Geoge Andrews
