EXAMPLE OF LETTER OF APPLICATION

Dear Ms Summers,

I am writting in resply to your advertisement for salespeople in "Strike Out" magazine.

I am fully qualified primary school teacher with eight years´ experience. Six years ago, I gave up my teaching post to become a full-time mother and housewife. Now that my children are both in full-time education, Iam keen to return to the job market.

I am very excited by this opportunity, as it will give me the chance to work with teaching professionals once more, as well as allowing me to fit my career around the needs of my family. I have a very wide network of friends and former colleagues and am active in the community. I am confident that these would be all highly useful contacts. I have enjoyed using your materials with my children and I feel I could communicate their advantages to other parents and teachers.

I am currently avaiable for the interview and would welcome the opportunityto discuss the post in more detail. I look forward from hearing from you.

Yours sinceresly,

Jon Naunton
