The purpose of a letter of application is to help you to “sell” yourself. It should state 36 the job you want, and should tell what your abilities are and what you have 37 . It should be simple, human, personal and brief without 38 out any necessary fact.
In writing a letter of application, keep in 39 that the things a possible employer is most
40 to want to know about are your qualifications（条件）, your achievements and your aims.The opening paragraph is perhaps the most important part. 41 the first few sentences fail to 42 the reader’s attention, the rest of the letter may not be 43 at all. Try to key your opening remarks to the needs or interests of the employer not 44 your own need or desires. For example, instead of beginning with “I saw your 45 in today's paper. ”you might say“I have made a careful 46 of your advertising during the past six months” or “I have made a survey in my neighbourhood to find out how many housewives 47 your product and why they like it.”
Try to 48 generalities. Be clear about the kind of job for which you are now 49 . College graduates looking for their first positions often ask“ What can I 50 in a letter? Employers want experience, which, naturally, no 51 has. ”The answer is that everything you have ever done is 52 .
It is important to write a good strong closing for your letter. 53 a specific request for an interview or give the possible employer something definite to do or expect. An excellent 54 is to enclose（内附）a stamped, self - addressed envelope with your letter. That makes it 55 for a possible employer to get in touch with you.
