The purpose of a letter of application is to help you to “sell” yourself. It should state 16 the job you want, and should tell what your abilities are and what you have 17 . It should be simple, personal and brief without leaving out any necessary fact.
In writing a letter of application, keep in 18 that the things a possible employer is most 19 to want to know about are your achievements and your aims. The opening paragraph is perhaps the most important part. If the first few sentences fail to draw the reader’s attention, the rest of the letter may not be read at all. Try to key your opening remarks to the needs or interests of your employer. For example, instead of beginning with “I saw your 20 in today’s paper,” you might say “I have made a careful study of your advertising during the past six months” or “I have made a survey in my neighborhood to find out how many housewives use your product and why they like it.”
Be clear about the kind of job for which you are now 21 . College graduates looking for their first positions often ask “What can I 22 in a letter? Employers want experience, which, naturally, no 23 has.” The answer is that everything you have ever done is experience.
It is important to write a good strong closing for your letter. 24 a specific request for an interview or give the possible employer something definite(明确的) to do or expect. An excellent idea is to enclose(内附) a stamped self-addressed envelope with your letter. That makes it 25 for a possible employer to get in touch with you.
