A clear, informative, well-presented letter asking for employment is definitely singled outfrom the usual run-of-the-mill applications.
In response to an advertisement: Keep the following in mind when replying to an advertisement.
* Ensure that if specific information is requested, you supply it.
* Check that the fu 11 name of the person to whom the correspondence is addressed is accurately spelt and also that you have included their prefix and correct designation, such as the Personnel Director.
* The address must be accurate.
Applying for a job when there is no advertisement: When you send an unsolicited letter, it is best to address your correspondence to a specific named individual and not an anonymous Head of a Department. Applications may be sent to the Managing Director or the Personnel Manager.
Content: A letter that accompanies your resume should state whether you are replying to an advertisement (state the publication and date) and produce an interesting reason why you think you should be considered for the post. Ethusiasm for the field, aptitude for the work and aspirations to succeed, along with relevant experience or qualifications are best.
Indicate whether you are currently employed/immediately available. Do not make any reference to your present contract of employment.
Use clean white paper and write only on one side of the paper. To type or not Job applications are usually typewritten, but in certain cases applicants are asked to write in their own hand.
