UNSOLICITED APPLICATION LETTER

• A cold call cover letter (also known as an unsolicited


application/cover letter) is a document you send with your
resume for a position that isn’t officially open.
• Just like a cover letter, a cold cover letter highlights your skill
set and job experience to convince the recruiter that you’re
the person for the job.
• A job seeker may desire employment with a particular
company that has not posted open job requisitions.
UNSOLICITED APPLICATION LETTER

• In this case, an unsolicited application letter is used as an inquiry


about possible openings and to gain a hiring managers attention.
• The letter may be addressed to the head of the Human Resources
Department or to the manager of a particular division.
• The letter is most likely to be read what it is addressed to a
particular person rather than the generic to “whom it may
concern” salutation.
