Dear ___________________,
First paragraph (Introduction) – tell the employer why you
are writing, name the position you are seeking or your field of
interest (be as specific as possible). State how you heard about the
position or the company.
Second paragraph (Body) – VERY IMPORTANT – explain the
skills you have to offer the employer. State why you are interested
in the organization to which you are applying and refer to specific
education and experience relevant to the position opening.
Third paragraph (Closing) – Close by requesting a job
interview. Either suggest a time when you would be available or
state your willingness to meet at the employer’s request. If,
instead of requesting an interview, you are seeking further
information on possible openings, it would be polite to enclose a
self-addressed, stamped envelope. Your closing should not be vague,
but should request specific action.
Sincerely yours,
(Your Signature)
