Re. : Application to your job offer n°XXXXXX

Dear Sir/Madam,

I read your job offer in XXXXX with great interest. My application for said job is
motivated both by the guarantee of an in-house product training programme and by the career
prospects you can offer.

Currently employed as a consultant, my aim today is to specialize in one field of work, and
one particular sector, and I am attracted above all to the world of insurance and financial
services. As you can see from my CV, the various experiences I have had in consulting and in
other businesses have given me the ability to get operational fast, and to adapt easily to new
challenges and to different brands of company culture.

I enclose my CV in the sincere hope that your company’s future experiences could turn
into experiences we build together. As this document alone is far from sufficient as proof of
my desire to join your team, I remain at your disposition for an interview, in which I would
hope to further discussion of my application.

Yours faithfully,

Helen BORGMAN

Re. : Response to job offers posted on the site http://www.XXXXXX.com

Dear Sir/Madam,

Why have your job offers caught my attention ? Initially, I noted with great interest the
possibility of working for a blue chip company, but over and above your reputation, I feel that
the chance to build a career at the heart of a large group, along with the wide range of posts
presented on your site, totally correspond to my professional aspirations.

Indeed, as you can see from my CV, throughout my career so far, I have been able to prove
my creativity time and again through the use both of traditional media and new technologies
in a number of companies with different cultures; and I have learnt the attention to detail
necessary to manage projects in a technological world. The opportunity to combine these
qualities and this knowledge in a single post would allow me to totally fulfil my ambitions
with your company. Today, I am seeking either an operational position in the marketing and
commercial field, or a transversal role where my skills in terms of listening, analysis and
communication could be put to optimum use in facilitating user/designer interaction.

Additionally, as I am fascinated by the world of finance and the stock exchange on a

personal level, I believe I could integrate your company culture relatively easily.

I look forward to meeting you in order to discuss my career path and my ambitions in a
more personal, detailed manner.

Yours faithfully,

Helen BORGMAN

Re. : Application to your job offer n°XXXXXX

Dear Sir/Madam,

As financial service providers, you are constantly having to deal with the demands of
competition on the Internet. And since this sector is constantly evolving, it requires 24-hour
surveillance.

I am contacting you following the inception of your new Internet site. New technologies
have always been a source of great fascination for me, and I have had the opportunity in the
past to manage several innovative projects in the field of strategic surveillance on the Internet.
Indeed, I have already set up a project identical to the one you currently have in operation in
the XXXXX bank. I therefore believe I have expert knowledge of the constraints and the
possibilites such a project brings with it.

Today I would like to have the opportunity to put my skills to optimum use in helping your
projects grow, in order to keep the value of your company growing likewise.

Since I am aware that my CV alone is far from sufficient as proof of my skills and the
extent of my motivation, I remain at your disposal for a face-to-face meeting in the near
future.

Yours faithfully,

Re : Speculative job application

Dear Sir/Madam,

Faced with today's aggressive and competitive business environment, it is clearly of vital
importance to have a worthy team of people at your side. It therefore seems an absolute
necessity for you to select qualified and effective co-workers to help you reach your aims.

I have always been fascinated by the world of communication, and hope to continue
building my career in this same area. In addition, thanks to my studies, as well as my
professional experience, I now master the tools and technologies used in this field of work
perfectly.

Moreover, the qualities, both personal and professional, which I have been able to develop
throughout my life, reinforced by my excellent knowledge of the international business
environment, lead me to believe that I could be of great service to you as part of your
company. I am convinced that my experience, coupled with my desire to build my career, can
bring as much benefit to you as that which you can offer me.

I therefore remain at your disposition for an interview in which I would hope we could
discuss our common goals in further detail.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Re : Application to your job offer for a product manager in the Entertainment division

Dear Sir/Madam,

Why did the above-mentioned job offer catch my eye ? Undoubtedly because the terms in
which the job is described correspond to the type of post I am currently seeking.

I noted with interest the possibility you could give me to work for a blue chip company,
the top private telecommunications operator in England. But over and above your reputation,
it is the very nature of the post on offer which totally corresponds to my professional
aspirations.

Indeed, as you can see from my CV, throughout my career so far, I have been able to prove

in a number of companies with different cultures; and I have learnt the attention to detail
necessary to manage projects in a technological world. The opportunity to combine these
qualities and this knowledge in a single post would allow me to totally fulfil my ambitions
with your company.

Moreover, since new IT tools in the realms of information and communication are a source
of great fascination for me, having the chance to contribute to better consumer knowledge
where these technologies are concerned by creating new entertainment services strengthens
my desire to join your team still further.

I look forward to meeting you face-to-face in order to discuss my career path and my
ambitions in a more personal and detailed manner.

Since I qualified in XXXX (type year here), I have had the opportunity to work in different

Re. : Speculative job application

Dear Sir/Madam,

Has your recent merger led you to totally reorganize your company structure? If so, the
key departments of communication and human resources should be the first to benefit from
this reorganization, since they can then help the whole company make its way through the

Re. : Speculative application (for a traineeship)

Dear Sir/Madam,

Currently in my second year of study at the University of XXXXX, I have chosen to

specialize my research in the physical and mechanical properties of different materials.

I would like to carry out my end of year traineeship in this field as a member of your
research department, whose technological sophistication I was able to admire during a factory
visit organized by my university.I hope in particular to develop my knowledge of fluid
mechanics or of thermal behaviour, in order to enable me to write a dissertation on
XXXXXXX.

I am available from the month of June onwards, for a period of 6 months in total.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Yours faithfully,

Helen BORGMAN

Re. : Speculative application

Dear Sir/Madam,

Having become aware of the courses available at your establishment thanks to your
Internet site, it is my pleasure to apply for a place there, with a view to obtaining a NVQ
qualification in XXXXXXX(type subject here). I hope to obtain more in-depth knowledge of
the different aspects of this area of business, including preparation, technical design,
administration and sales.

My first professional experience in XXXXXX accustomed me to the constraints linked to

the world of direct marketing, and I would hope to use this knowledge as a base on which to
build on.

I sincerely hope that you will be able to offer me a place for the next school year.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Yours faithfully,

Re. : Speculative job application

Dear Sir/Madam,

I have become aware of your specializations and the development of your establishment
through various trade press reports, and I would like to know more about your current needs
in terms of the recruitment of nursing auxiliaries.

I was forced to leave my previous post in the XXXXXX retirement home in order to
follow my spouse, who has been transferred to your region. As you can see from my CV,
which is enclosed, I have been in constant employment until now, and would like to avoid any
interruption in the development of my career. My previous employer remains at your
disposition should you require an outside view of my professional skills.

I hope that you will offer me the possibility to integrate one of your teams.

Re. : Application for school year XXXX/XXXX

Dear Mr./Mrs. XXXX,

Please find enclosed my application for a place in your establishment for the school year
XXXX/XXXX. The reasons for my application are both the specialized qualifications you
help students to prepare and the career prospects which you can offer school leavers, and
which I was able to learn about thanks to the special report published in XXXXX magazine
last month.

My interest for this field of study has its origin in the logic of my previous choices, and I
have been able to compare it with the real nature of the profession through the various
traineeships I have completed. I have in fact already carried out 3 traineeships with the
XXXXXX company as a XXXXX, and this allows me to state my career choices today with
certainty.

I hope to hear from you soon, and would welcome your advice on how to follow up this
initial contact.

Yours sincerely,

Helen BORGMAN

Dear Sir/Madam,

Please find enclosed my application for a place for the school year XXXX/XXXX. The
reasons for my application are both the specialized qualifications you help students to prepare
and the career prospects which you can offer school leavers. I have been able to learn about
the precise nature of your study programme thanks to the various press reports I have read.

My interest in this field of study was awakened following a change of career path, after a
seasonal job placement which allowed me to discover my fascination for XXXXX, and where
I obtained very satisfactory results as you can see from my CV (enclosed). I therefore hope to
gain more in-depth knowledge in this field, in order to be able to obtain a post which
corresponds better to my aspirations and my personal skills in the future.

I hope that you will take my application into consideration and I remain at your disposition
should you require any further information, whether by post, or through a face-to-face
interview.

I look forward to hearing from you.

future job in XXXXXX.

I already have professional experience in the following areas : XXXXXX. I speak

XXXXXX and XXXXXX fluently, and understand XXXXX well, as I have made trips to
both XXXXX and XXXXX in the past.I am geographically mobile over the XXXXXXX

Re. : Speculative application for a work placement

Dear Mr./Mrs. XXXX,

I am contacting you to ask if you would be willing to take me on for a work placement in
the field of XXXXXX.I have completed a recognized course of study in this subject, and
already hold a XXXXXX diploma in XXXXXX. As I am aware that these studies are
insufficient to launch a career as a XXXXXX, I have registered for a course in XXXXXX.
This course, which takes the form of a work placement, is official recognized, and will equip
me with IT skills to complement my initial study programme. It will last 2 years.

It is for this reason that I am now seeking a company requiring XXXXXX skills and
concerned with the professional training given to its employees. That is why I am writing to
you, as the Vocational Training Authority has informed me that your firm has always invested
in training, and thereby produced high quality co-workers.

I look forward to meeting you soon.

Yours faithfully,

Re. : Speculative application following professional contact

Dear Sir/Madam,

Mr. XXXXXX has informed me that your company was looking for someone to work in
car preparation, for your XXXXXX firm. Should this post still be available, I feel that I am a
particularly appropriate candidate, and that is why I am sending in my application.

I already have experience in this field of activity, since I have worked successively in the
following positions : XXXX XXXXX XXXXX in 3 firms which are very similar to yours.I
therefore have good knowledge of the brands, products and services which you sell, and since
I have also worked in contact with clients, I am aware of the kind of demands the clientèle
you wish to target may have.

I hope that I will have the opportunity to join your team in the near future, and I remain at
your disposition for an interview in which we could develop this initial contact.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Re. : Application following initial contact

Dear Mrs. XXXX, (or Mr. XXXX)

Further to our telephone conversation on XXXXXX(type date here), I thought it would be

helpful to send you some further information about myself, as detailed on my CV (enclosed),
in order to apply for a job within your XXXXXXX firm.

Your publishing house mainly releases documentary works, which corresponds perfectly
to my own interests. I feel this is particularly the case where your need for translations from
English or from French is concerned, as my in-depth knowledge of these two languages could
be of great service to you.

I have already completed one traineeship at XXXXXX Publications, in the department

which develops works in the fields of corporate business and taxation.

I believe that my traineeship and the course my studies have taken have allowed me to
assimilate knowledge and skills which will prove to be essential in your branch of activity.
My understanding of economic matters, my rudimentary knowledge of marketing and my
editorial skills will allow me to enrich the quality of your work still further.

I hope to have an interview with you soon, in order to convince you of my skills.

Yours faithfully,

Helen BORGMAN

Re. : Application to your job offer n°XXXXXX

Dear Sir/Madam,

I read the job offer you published in XXXXXX with interest, as it corresponds exactly to
the job description I am currently seeking.

XXXX years of experience in this same position at firms very similar to your own have
allowed me to develop expert knowledge of the whole of the XXXXX network, in the rather
specific context of an SME, with its tightly controlled management of suppliers, coupled with
strong pressure from creditors.These daily challenges are, to my mind, the greatest source of
interest of this position, and provide the energy behind my professional dynamism.

I hope to meet you soon for a face-to-face interview in which I could provide you with any
more detailed information you may require concerning my skills and my motivation.

Dear Sir/Madam,

I recently read in a press article that your company has just won an important contract with

It is for this reason that I would like to work with you, putting my talents as a bilingual
speaker of XXXXX and XXXXX and my knowledge of your sector of activity at your
service. In fact, I have been working as the PA of Mr. XXXXXX, CEO of XXXXX,
specialized in the same sector as your company for the last XXX years.I have expert
knowledge of all aspects of this position, both technical (ranging from the most common IT
tools to the most specialized) and in terms of my personal qualities (organisational rigour,
working to deadlines).

I hope to meet you soon, in order to go into the interest of my application in more detail.

Re. : speculative job application

Dear Sir/Madam,

Both the local and the national press have made much of your success: your start up has in
fact increased its turnover tenfold in less than 3 years and the number of employees has risen
from 5 to 110. This strong growth necessitates very methodical administrative management in
terms both of your premises and your pay roll.

I have been working as a XXXXXX in a XXXXXX company for several years. I have
managed the general services department and organised several office moves in this capacity,
in order to ensure the day-to-day comfort of 160 employees.Today, I feel that I have reached
the limits of my position in the XXXXX sector, and I am seeking new challenges, such as the
opportunity to bring my skills to a young and dynamic firm. I can provide you with active
support in the development of your company on both administrative and logistical levels.

I hope to have an interview with you soon, in order to discuss the idea of us working
together in the future in greater depth.
