The job-winning tips given by some professionals:

  1. Writing in black ink. on white unlined paper looks professional. Put your address, telephone number and date in the top right-hand comer and the narrie of the person you are applying to on the left, level with the date. Write the company name and address below. .You can possi­bly type your letter but employers do prefer to see your handwriting. Leave a line between paragraphs.

  2. First paragraph - a polite one-sentence opening explanation why you are writing.

  3. Tell them you know they are busy people but stress that your CV proves you are worth time too.

  4. Describe yourself like a product on sale List your skills and personal qualities like high motivation, enthusiasm and adaptability.

  5. If you have qualifications, list them briefly.

  6. Flattery is important, so explain why it’s the only firm you want to work for.

  7. Ask for an interview. Say you are happy to come in for a chat at any time, even if there are no jobs available now. Thank the reader for their time and remind them you are waiting for a reply. Use “Yours sin­cerely" if you’re writing to a named person and “Faithfully" it you started “Dear.Sir/Madam”. Sign your letter at the bottom left and print your name clearly below.
