Dear Mr Chan
Application for the Post of Management Trainee
I am writing to apply for the post of Management Trainee, which was advertised on the
Student Affairs Office notice board of the Hong Kong Polytechnic University on 18 April
2014.
My working experience at Lucky Star Garment Manufactory Limited improved my
leadership skills, communication skills and ability to work in a team environment. I have
fluent spoken and written English. I also have fluent spoken and written Mandarin, and can
therefore work in mainland China.
Currently I am studying a B.A. in Management at the Hong Kong Polytechnic University,
graduating in 2014. Subjects which I am studying that are relevant to the post of Management
Trainee include Operations Management, Human Resources Management, Accounting,
Marketing and Strategic Management.
My final year project is entitled Knowledge Management Practices in HK. Carrying out this
project has improved my communication skills, my leadership skills and my ability to lead
and supervise subordinates effectively. I have also learned how to run a project from the
planning stage to its completion.
During my studies I have held the post of Executive in the Management Society. While
leading and organising Management Society activities I have improved my ability to lead and
supervise subordinates effectively, ability to work under pressure and ability to work in a
team environment.
Working for Wong And Lim Consulting appeals to me because it has a good reputation and it
provides excellent training. Your organisation produces a high-quality service, and I can
contribute to this with my leadership skills and my ability to work under pressure.
I am available for interview at any time. I can be contacted most easily on the mobile phone
number given above. I look forward to meeting you.
Yours sincerely

The name of the
reader, his/her
title, and
address are
next.
Ms. Stephanie Spencer, Director of Personnel
Department 411
Boeing Naval Systems
103 Industrial Drive
Wilmington, DE 20093
For the opening,
use a colon.
Dear Ms. Spencer:
Paragraph One
tells where you
found the job
opportunity and
what the job title
is.
I am writing in response to your advertisement in the January 16
Philadelphia Inquirer. I believe that my academic training at Drexel
University in Electrical Engineering, along with my experience with RCA
Advanced Technology Laboratory, would qualify me for the position of
programmer.
Paragraph Two
details your
education
credentials.
Make special
note of those
skills the
employer has
mentioned in the
job ad.
My education at Drexel University has given me a strong background in
computer hardware and system design. I have concentrated on digital and
computer applications, developing and designing computer and signal-
processing hardware in two graduate-level engineering courses. For my
senior-design project, I am working with four other undergraduates in
using OO programming techniques to enhance the path-planning software
for an infrared night-vision robotics application.
Paragraph
Three contains
your work
experience.
Again, note
skills the
employer wants
in an employee.
While working at RCA, I applied my computer experience to the field of
the VLSI design. In one project I used my background in LISP to develop
and test new LISP software used in the automated production of VLSI
standard cell family databooks. In another project, I used CAD software on
a VAX to evaluate IC designs.

The last
paragraph gives
your phone
number, email,
and time you
can be reached.
Also, make
mention of your
resume.
The enclosed resume provides an overview of my education and
experience. I would like to meet with you at your convenience to discuss
my qualifications for this position. Please write to me at the above address
or leave a message anytime at
(215) 555-5876.
For the close,

the space
between, sign
your name.

Ororo Munroe, Safety Director
CUNA Mutual Insurance
225 N. Mills St.
Madison, WI 53076
November 29th, 2006

Dear Safety Director Munroe,

I am writing this letter to apply for your programs Assistant Safety Supervisor position. I
feel my educational training and professional background make me well suited for the
demands of this position. Currently I am senior finishing a Safety Science degree at Indiana
University of Pennsylvania (IUP) and could begin work on June 1st as your ad specifies. I
also work part time in IUP's Office of International Affairs. I am especially interested in your
company because I see that you are the leading insurance company in the midwest region and
also earned a Worker Safety Zone award from the Wisconsin Safety Commission. I'd love to
contribute to a company as interested in worker safety as yours seems to be. I believe the rest
of this letter will illustrate what a great addition I would be to your work force.

In looking over the job description, I see that your chief need is for someone with a strong
working knowledge of OSHA regulations. As youll note on my resume, along with a full
complement of safety courses, my familiarity with government safety regulations has been
developed through an internship at the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. I worked with the plant
safety inspector who supervised operator safety for a paper which had a daily press run of
500,000 copies. During the internship, my most important training came when the paper
purchased two new printing presses. I was given the responsibility of reviewing all
instructional materials that came with the presses, and designing a simplified operators guide
sheet to be posted at each press. This guide sheet had to meet all OSHA standards and be
easily accessible by 30 press operators of varying skill levels. The plant inspector not only
approved my design, but then placed me in charge of updating all the older press safety signs
in the building. It is this type of innovative thinking, hard work, and dedication which I
would bring to your department as an Assistant Safety Supervisor.
Your ad also mentions a need for a worker with strong organizational skills. As you'll note on
my resume, I have been an Office Assistant for two years in the Office of International
Affairs. In that position, I performed variety of tasks including filing applications from
international students. I modified the office's filing system and added a computer record
keeping component that helped speed up application processing time. The office director was
so pleased with my work that I was given the 2005 Student Worker Award.

I look forward to discussing my qualifications with you. In fact I will be making a trip to
Madison within the next month which might present an ideal opportunity for an interview. In
the meantime, if there is any other information I can provide you, please contact me at (412)
555-1234. If I dont hear from you within the next two weeks, Ill make a follow up call to
see how your candidate search is progressing.

Thank you for taking the time to review my application.

Sincerely,

Kiana Johnson
