UNIT 14. EMPLOYMENT

Dear Mr. Haskell,

Would your company benefit from the services of a creative, innovative technical writer? My contributions to former companies have resulted in increased sales and an enhanced company image through the production of easy-to-read user manuals. I can make that same contribution to Tone Ltd.

I used my English degree from Northeastern University to launch my technical writing career more than ten years ago. Since then I have written articles in several professional magazines and have written more than 15 user manuals for both technical and non-technical audiences.

Please give me the opportunity to meet with you to discuss any perma¬nent or freelance jobs that may be available. I will bring my portfolio so that you can evaluate my writing style. Please call me at (312) 726-1147.

Yours, Donna Randall

Dear Mr. Black:

It is with great interest that I am applying for the position of chief accountant. When I read the job description of your ad in the New York Times on August 12th, I felt that it was an ideal match with my career aspirations. I have always wanted to work for an oustanding company such as Global Answers.

I believe that I am the ideal candidate for the position due to my extensive experience as an auditor for KPMG. At my current position at KPMG, I perform all of the same tasks that are described in your ad for the chief accountant position. In addition to that I have a reputation for being a hard worker who makes sure the job is done right the first time. My reports are always completed well ahead of the deadline.

Feel free to contact me and setup an interview at your earliest convenience. You can reach me by way of e-mail at KenJacobs@nadate.com or by way of phone at (105) 454-4307. I look forward to discussing with you my future with Global Answers. Thanks for your time and consideration.

Sincerely,

Ken Jacobs

Marck
