Begin your letter by telling the reader where you saw the advertisement:
Practice, write & improve, letter of application: writing guide, 1. salutation.
Dear Sir or Madam
If you do not know the name of the person you are writing to, use this. The following is a list of letter salutation examples that are appropriate for letters of application.
Dear Sir or Madam
Begin by stating the job for which you are applying. Briefly mention how your skills and experience match the company and/or position; this will give the employer a preview of the rest of your letter.
I am writing to apply for the post of Fashion Shop Manager advertised in the ‘News Shopper’ of 14 February 2002.
In the following paragraphs, explain why you are interested in the job and why you make an excellent candidate for the position. Mention specific qualifications listed in the job posting and explain how you meet those qualifications.
Please see the example structure below:
(2nd paragraph) You might go and list your experience and relevant qualifications:
(briefly introduce yourself first) I am an ambitious and creative 25-year-old who have worked in the retail industry for a total of ten years, first as a sales assistant in a department store and for the last three years as a Section Head and Deputy Manager at Jones the Bootmaker.
(3rd paragraph) You might then go on to mention the particular abilities and skills that you have:
I believe I have all the skills, knowledge and expertise that you are looking for. I have lots of retail initiative, can schedule and prioritise tasks and can work to strict deadlines. I also work particularly well with people and would enjoy leading the team and working with clients and customers.
(4th paragraph) Say why you are particularly interested in this job:

You might close the letter with the following formula.
I look forward to hearing from you and hope that you will be able to invite me for an interview.
Yours faithfully XYZ
“Yours sincerely” or “Yours faithfully”?
“Yours sincerely” is typically employed in English when the recipient is addressed by name (e.g. “Dear John”) and is known to the sender to some degree, whereas “Yours faithfully” is used when the recipient is not addressed by name (i.e., the recipient is addressed by a phrase such as “Dear Sir/Madam”)
TIP: Pay attention to style and register , but that is not the way to write a successful job application. In fact, the employer is more likely to forgive a number of grammar or spelling mistakes than to employ an applicant whose letter was too rude or too informal. In the exam, writing is assessed with this in mind: The ability to use the right style, whether you are writing a business letter or a holiday postcard, is one of the skills assessed by examiners. |

I am writing to apply for your two-year degree in teaching English at the university level. At present, I am a teacher of English and of Computer Science in the primary school here, in Lutynia.
I am keen to improve my English as this is not only my hobby but also a strong need. I should add that I am already half-way towards achieving my goal. Ten years ago I was a university teacher of Computer Science. Up to now, I have specialized in both subjects. I graduated from Technical University of Wroclaw, Department of Foreign Languages and the Academy of Economics, Department of Computer Science with Master’s Degree.
I have a great deal of work experience that demonstrates my ability in languages. I have undertaken a number of translation projects for doctors, scientists, computer programmers and travel guides. I estimate that my English is at an advanced level and at present, I am preparing for the CAE exam.
I am particularly interested in completing my degree at your university as it is famous all over the world. If you wish Ms.J.Forde can give you a reference.
I hope you will give my application serious consideration and I look forward to hearing from you.
Yours faithfully (your name)

A restaurant in your region is to open shortly and the owner has placed the following advertisement in your local newspaper:
RESTAURANT STAFF NEEDED…
…For a busy restaurant located in the main tourist area of this region. We have a number of vacancies available, including: Junior Chef, Waiter/Waitress, Restaurant Manager. Hours of work: 6 – 12pm, Mondays to Saturdays.
Please send us a letter explaining which post you are interested in and why we should consider you for the job. Interviews will be held a week after the closing date.
I am writing with reference to your advertisement for the position of a Restaurant Manager, which was placed in The Guardian on 10 December.
My reason for being interested in this vacancy is that according to what is said by the executives of the companies I worked for (please find enclosed their letters of reference), I am particularly efficient at being involved in projects requiring a great deal of physical and mental energy and also creativity. I would be able to bring to bear these personal qualities of mine for the benefit of the restaurant.
I am sure that I would be successful in this post as I have now gained managerial experience having had work as a Senior Manager for the “Little Chef Restaurant” for 10 years. At present I work for the restaurant mentioned above, where my responsibilities comprise dealing with suppliers and corporate clients, recruiting employees and checking the financial statements of affiliated companies.
My academic background (a Master’s Degree in Tourism & Hospitality) would also prove valuable to you.
Please could you send me an application form and any other relevant details including those of salary, working hours and any additional benefits (such as private health care or social facilities).
I am able to attend an interview on any day from 11 a. m. Should you need any further information, do not hesitate to contact me on 222333222 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. or by email at [email protected].

A tourist company which organises coach tours of your home town has placed the following advertisement in your local newspaper:
TOUR GUIDES REQUIRED
Are you an outgoing and sociable person, who has a good command of English and some knowledge of local history? Take-a-Tour is setting up a branch in your area and we are looking for tour guides to accompany up to fifty passengers a time on our coach tours. Your duties will include welcoming passengers aboard the coach, giving a commentary about the local sights, and taking small groups around the town on foot.
I am writing to reply to your advertisement for a tour guide in The Tokyo Mini Times on 13th January.
I have always been interested in working with tourists and this is one of the main reasons why I am applying for this job. I actually have some experience of guiding foreign people around the town as a volunteer. Therefore, the city council sometimes asks me to take people to some historical places and explain about the background. Once I organised a sightseeing tour that thirty people took part in. Every time I have a chance to do that, they appreciate my explanations. I think I will be a competent guide.
I have been living in this town since I was born. My ancestors came to live here two hundred years ago thus I know how this town has developed. I think I will manage to give a unique speech to the tourists.
I passed the Cambridge Certificate in Advanced English last year, which I believe endorses my English ability. As far as I am concerned, this level is suitable for a tour guide.
I am available to start work on 15th February. I am also available to attend an interview in the afternoon on Monday to Thursday. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you need any further information.
I would be very grateful if you consider my application. I look forward to hearing from you soon.

If your application is determined to be incomplete, you will be sent a CASAC Application Review Summary identifying documentation still needed to complete your application.
If you are unable to submit the identified documents by the end of the five-year period, your application will not be approved, and you will not be issued a CASAC credential.

Applicants who hold a CASAC-T or CASAC-P that are exam eligible prior to their five-year expiration date will be eligible for a one-time, three-year extension for a $100 fee.

An approved work setting means:
Substitution of an associate’s degree, bachelor’s degree or master’s (or higher) degree in an approved human services field (see below list) for work experience must be supported by either an academic transcript or a copy of your diploma from an accredited college or institution which clearly states the approved human services field and graduation date .

The Justice Center Hotline number is 1-855-373-2122. TTY 1-855-373-2123.
Education and training, standardized curriculum.
Together with certified Education and Training Providers, OASAS has developed a 350-Hour certificate program to serve as the basis for a standardized, comprehensive CASAC curriculum.
This program was developed to assure that all CASAC applicants have adequate exposure to the full range of SUD counselor competencies consisting of knowledge, skills and/or attitudes in physical and pharmacological effects, diversity in different treatment approaches (including medication-supported recovery), and an emphasis on professional and ethical responsibilities.
In addition to the 350 hours, OASAS requires mandatory one-time requirements to ensure applicants are further educated on current drug trends and agency initiatives ( See one-time requirements below).
An academic transcript through an accredited institution recognized by the U.S. Department of Education may be submitted to be reviewed for applicable coursework which may meet education and training requirements. You will receive a review summary that will notify you how much of your coursework was approvable.
One college credit (graduate or undergraduate) is equivalent to 15 education clock hours.
NOTE: You must submit documentation to support all education and training being claimed in the form of an academic transcript or OASAS standardized certificate of completion. All documents must include your name; the name of the educational institution or training provider; title of the course or training; date of completion; and number of clock hours associated with completion of the course or training.
