The letter of application
The letter of application can be as important as the CV in that it often provides the first direct contact between a candidate and an employer. If this letter is not well written and presented, it will make a poor impression. The letter of application normally contains four parts in which you should:
• confirm that you wish to apply and say where you learned about the job
• say why you are interested in the position and your interests are the same as those of the company
• show that you can contribute to the job by highlighting your most relevant skills and experience
• indicate your willingness to attend an interview (and possibly say when you would be free to attend)

Dear Ms Stark: 8th January 2000
I'm writing to apply for the position which was advertised last month in The Daily News.
Although I am presently employed by a non-profit organisation, it has always been my intention to work in commercial environment. I would particularly welcome chance to work for your company as I have long admired both the quality of the products that it provides and its position as a defender of environmental causes. As you notice on my enclosed CV, the job you are offering suits both my personal and professional interests.
My work experience has familiarised me with many of the challenges involved in public relations today. I am sure that this, together with my understanding of the needs and expectations of sport and nature enthusiasts, would be extremely relevant to the position. Moreover, as my mother is German, I am fluent in this language and would definitely enjoy working in a German-speaking environment.
I would be pleased to discuss my curriculum vitae with more detail at an interview. In the meantime, please do not hesitate to contact me if you require further information. I look forward to hearing from you.
Yours sincerely.
