在许多情况下，求职者非常希望能够加入一个他梦寐以求的地方开始工作，然而在目前来说那个公司还没有公开招聘的举动或职位。在这样的情况下，您可以发一封没有特定职位的试探性求职信给想要应聘的公司，把自己的情况告诉对方，同时询问对方是否有适合的职位提供。

　　试探性的求职信是一种比较积极主动的应聘方式，这类看似希望渺茫的信经常能出人意料的取得成功，因为这种申请求职的方法表现出了申请人本身的能力、勇气和对所应聘公司的强烈兴趣。

　　试探性求职申请信应该简洁，讲清楚你对该公司感兴趣的原因，写明你具备的资格以及你认为会引起该公司注意的任何品德。邮寄申请信时，要把个人简历也一起寄去。你还需要知道公司里人事经理或部门经理的名字，把直接信寄给他会更有效一些。

　　请参见范例：

Dear Sir,
I am writing to inquire about possible job openings in the financial department of your company.

I am 32 years old and a graduate of Fudan University. I have worked for 5 years in a world-leading accountancy firm. I have abundant experience in auditing, accounting and financial analysis. I’m confident that I can deal even with the most challenging tasks in financial management.

I have been interested in your company for a very long time. I think it’s your active company culture, the outstanding management and the perfect staff -training system that attracts me most. I would like to become a member of your team and contribute to the success and progress of your company.

I am a person with a high sense of responsibility and team spirit. I am a good team worker and I work very well on my own, even under pressure. I do not mind working long hours. Enclosed find my resume together with a recent photo. For further reference, please contact Mr. Harry Smith, who was my former boss. I am happy to introduce myself in person and come for an interview. In the meantime, I will be waiting for your good news.

Sincerely,

Michael Fang
