Dear HR,

I would like to apply for the position of Trainee Mortgage Advisor as recently advertised.

I work for a busy firm of Estate Agents, which is part of a national chain. I originally started here as a Saturday assistant, when I was at school and then joined the company full-time, after I graduated from school.

My current role is working as general admin support to the services department; technically we are located separately from the Estate Agency, so as to ensure independence. In my role, I field initial enquiries, arrange appointments to view properties and process applications for mortgages and insurance cover.

I provide administration support to my manager who helps people find and apply for the mortgage they think is right for them based on their personal finances and situation and keeps them fully informed as to the different kinds of mortgages available and guides them through the process.

I liaise with the agency’s valuers and mortgage lenders and it is vitally important that I keep up to date with the current market and mortgage and lending Law (Financial Services Authority compliance) and all the products, as we offer a range of products from a variety of lenders, as well as offering our own products.

Our team is also required to hit certain sales targets and, as part of the team, I help ensure that we manage our quotas successfully. This can be quite challenging in today’s current economic climate because, as you are aware, the housing market has been quite badly hit these last few years. Fortunately, the firm I work for has an excellent, well-established reputation and very strong marketing skills and so we have been quite busy throughout this period.

I am currently applying to do a distance learning course for the Chartered Insurance Institute (CII) Certificate in Mortgage Advice (Cert MA) exams and would like to progress my career where there is an opening for a trainee mortgage advisor as there is no opportunity to progress further in the firm I am currently working for.

I am available for interview at your convenience and enclose my CV. References are available on request.

Yours faithfully

Dear HR,

I would like to apply for the role of Maintenance Engineer as advertised recently.

I work in engineering maintenance as part of a team of engineering technicians, where I am responsible for making sure all plant machinery and equipment runs smoothly. I carry out both preventative checks, as well as emergency maintenance and running repairs for a building construction company and, as such, most of my work takes place out on site or, if not, I have to schedule and arrange the transportation of abnormal loads to transport broken down heavy earth moving equipment back to the maintenance centre.

Part of my duties involve preparing, carrying out and over-seeing the maintenance schedule, allocating work to our team of fitters, checking and calibrating instruments to make sure they are accurate, fitting new parts, carrying out quality inspections, responding immediately to equipment breakdowns, fixing faults on site or arranging for replacement machinery or equipment to be installed, keeping production managers informed of progress and organising teams or individuals to make sure that 24-hour cover is available.

Most of our systems are computerised, although we do also use a range of hydraulic and pneumatic machinery for the heavy lifting.

I joined the company as an apprentice and have a City and Guilds Certificate in Engineering (2800). I have just registered with the Engineering Council to help me continue to develop my professional qualifications.

As part of my career progression I am very keen to join your company because of its outstanding reputation for producing world-class engineering projects and am willing to relocate to the West Midlands where the post will be based as I would very much like to work in a maintenance team management role.

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 CAD Technician as advertised recently.

I have been working freelance for nearly a year now as a CAD technician and would like to consolidate into a permanent position where I can work with other members of the team to deliver a range of focused projects on behalf of the organisation.

I use a range of software to create design plans for buildings and machinery and have worked across a variety of projects, where I deal mainly with 3D solid modelling techniques, although a number of other projects I have worked on focused around 2D surface modelling techniques, the longest assignment being 6 months in total.

For this particular project I had to draw a flat representation of a new car design for the client to comment on, and amend and approve, prior to the engineers building and testing the new prototype.

I have also helped to prepare cost estimates on projects, and produce assembly instructions and maintenance manuals for installation, service and repair technicians.

I have a sound knowledge of engineering design principles, good numeracy and computer skills, good communication skills, knowledge of material properties, an understanding of manufacturing processes and creative flair; I am flexible and adaptable; I am able to meet deadlines and enjoy working as part of a team.

I have a City & Guilds Certificate in 2D Computer Aided Design (4353) Level 2, and Level 3, which allowed me to specialise in 2D or 3D design. The particular college I attended used AudoCAD and also ran some  more specialised software packages, including AutoCAD LT, SolidWorks and 3ds Max.

Dear Sir / Madam

I would like to apply for the position of retail manager of your Solihull store as advertised in the Birmingham Post last week. I have enclosed a copy of my CV which shows that I have considerable experience in similar positions.

I thoroughly enjoy the role and feel that it is important to spend as much time as possible on the floor so that I am accessible to the department heads and junior staff when required. Although there is the inevitable administration which always takes the manager away from the “front line” it is essential that all staff members are able to see that I’m available to discuss day to day business without them having to knock on my door.

I am particularly interested in your vacancy as it offers me an opportunity to build on my experience of managing smaller stores. Your organisation has an extremely good reputation for the quality of the products. There are branches in most of the towns and cities in the UK and knowing that I can be transferred to other, larger stores over a period of time, is an exciting proposition.

I look forward to attending an interview at a time convenient to you. Thank you for taking the time to read my application. I hope to hear from you in due course.
