Americans claim that they have people in their lives whomthey regard as family although they are not related.A view of

A letter of application is a sales letter in which you are both salesperson and product, for the purpose of anapplication is to attract an employer's attention and persuade him or her to grant you an interview To do this, the letterpresents what you can offer the employer, rather than what you want from the job

Like a résumé, the letter of application is a sample of your work and an opportunity to demonstrate your skills and

personality If it is written with flair and understanding and prepared with professional care, it is likely to be very effective.

While the résumé must be factual, objective, and brief, the letter is your chance to interpret and expand It should

stateexplicitly how your background relates to the specific job, and it should emphasise your strongest and most relevant

characteristics The letter should demonstrate that you know both yourself and the company

The letter of application must communicate your ambition and enthusiasm Yet it must be modest It should beneither aggressive nor compliant: neither pat yourself on the back nor ask for sympathy It should never expressdissatisfaction with the present or former job or employer And you should avoid discussing your reasons for leaving yourlast job

Finally, it is best that you not broach the subject on salary Indeed, even if a job advertisement requires that youmention your salary requirements, it is advisable simply to call them "negotiable." However, when you go on an interview,you should be prepared to mention a salary range For this reason, you should investigate both your field and, if possible,the particular company You don't want to ask for less than you deserve or more than isreasonable
