What do you do when you see or hear that your ideal job is up for grabs? What you dont do is just drop in unannounced, leave your curriculum vitae with the company or demand to meet the person in charge. The proper thing to do is to write an application letter first to introduce yourself to a likely employer. This way, you can highlight your qualifications, arrange for an interview and convince the reader to hire you. The letter should be simple and easy to read, reflecting the professionalism of the sender-you! To write clearly and state your business in the fewest possible words, follow this three-step outline: Introduction Begin by announcing your intention to apply for the position. State where or how you learned of the opening. Body Document your qualifications and skills. Enumerate accomplishments, significant work and educational experience in logical order. Conclusion Affirm your willingness to be interviewed. Thank the reader for considering your application and ask him to look at your rsum (which should be submitted with the letter) and other valid documents. You may follow up an application if your initial letter has not been acknowledged or if you do not receive feedback after an interview. An inquiry would remind the reader of your recent communication, reiterate your interest in the available position and keep your identity alive in the employers mind. In your subsequent letter, mention the date and nature of the previous exchange or meeting. Point out your suitability for the job and talk about your continued interest in the position. End your note by requesting permission to keep in touch and express hope of a response. Offer your contact information (address, telephone numbers and email address) again lest your documents be misplaced and so that company representatives can easily reach you.
