Dear HR

I should like to apply for the role of Graduate Engineer as advertised recently.

I have Mechanical Engineering degree (2.1 Hons) including working with CAD and Solidworks and learning C/C++ programming skills.

I am looking for a role where I can help make a real impact in the business and am ready to make the next step into a career building role. As such I would like to work for an organisation where I can be given the opportunity to expand my knowledge of design and the theoretical knowledge of Lean Manufacturing and apply it to real life situations.

I have previous experience of working in a System on Chip (SoC) environment during a summer internship at an aerospace manufacturer based in Bristol, where I gained a good understanding of System on Chip design and implementation flow.

 I am very willing to relocate as I am keen to gain a full-time position working within an Engineering department using the above skills and capabilities.

I am able to hit the ground running and work directly with leading engineers so that I can gain further hands on experience. I am flexible, and adaptable, and able to pick ideas up quickly and take action, under instruction, and meet project objectives and deliverables.

I enclose my CV and am available for interview at your convenience. References are available on request and I very much look forward to hearing from you as appropriate.

Dear HR

I should like to apply for the role of IT Support Technician as advertised recently.

I am a skilled technician capable of identifying problems, repairing problems, helping end users, updating systems, installing new hardware and software, installing cables, troubleshooting computers and basic networks, inventorying IT assets, documenting systems, and supporting the IT department in multiple capacities.

As an IT support specialist, I feel that it is vital to be a strong communicator as, for example, I have to understand what inexperienced end users are trying to explain particularly as this position requires extensive discussions over the phone.

I regularly have to conduct remote diagnostics for a number of employees who are based in other buildings, or who are travelling on behalf of the company.

I also work as part of the IT team, providing IT support desktop assistance to other workers directly.

I have the appropriate training and a professional certification validating my IT support management skills, including CompTIA’s A+ certification.

I feel I have all the pre-requisite requirements for this role as this certification validates the basic computer and networking skills needed to become an IT support technician.

I enclose my CV which also details my other software certifications, and am available for interview at your convenience. References are available on request and I very much look forward to hearing from you as appropriate.

Dear Mr Wade,

I would like to apply to your company’s vacancy for a Technical Support Specialist and Help Desk Technician as advertised on your website. I believe my experience could bring some added value to your IT Department and Help Desk facility.

In my CV I have listed all the important experience that I have gained through completing installations, troubleshooting and maintenance on computers, both with hardware and software. One of my skills is being able to explain to individuals without technical knowledge in such a way that they can easily understand what is happening and how I can mend it. By doing this I can often prevent repeat problems in these areas. The fast pace of the work is something I enjoy, and the variety of challenges makes every day different.

My work is considered to be of an excellent standard and my references will confirm this information. I think that I can bring skills, common sense, and logic to your company’s IT operations and also support your customer service functions.

I would welcome the opportunity of an interview to further discuss my suitability for the role and look forward to a response at your earliest convenience.

Dear HR,

I would be pleased if you would consider my application for the position of merchandiser which was advertised in the Evening Post last week. 

I do have some five years’ experience as a merchandiser, but I understand that this vacancy is a little more senior than my current position and involves more travelling.  I very rarely visit suppliers as they have been providing our store with products for many years.  I have, obviously increased the number of suppliers over the years and went to see them regularly for the first few months. 

Unfortunately, our store is under some financial constraints, along with many other retail companies.  This has hampered my ability to find new suppliers in the recent months.

You have several regional stores and I welcome the opportunity to visit them on a regular basis to discuss sales promotions and stock levels etc.  I note that you provide a company car and I can confirm that I have a clean driving licence.

I have enclosed a copy of my CV together with additional details regarding my degree in marketing.  I feel sure that I could make a positive contribution to your company.

I am available for an interview at any date suitable for you.  I hope to hear from you in due course.
