Dear Mr Smith

I would like to apply for the Payroll position, as advertised recently. I currently work in accounts, recording the information and tallying the recorded hours and overtime and liaising with the company bank to ensure that all wages are paid to the right people on the right date. We have a number of staff who do varying shifts, some work full-time and some work part-time and we also run an evening and weekend rota because of the production line facility. This means the payroll is quite complex, however, it is something I enjoy and I ensure I work closely with the accounts team and, to make sure that all our checks are correct, we also run a manual check at the end of each month which I am responsible for.

I am good at attention to detail and enjoy figures so I would relish the opportunity to take on additional responsibilities, hence the reason I would like to apply for this role.

I am available for interview at your convenience and references are available on request.

I attach my CV and look forward to hearing from you as appropriate.

Yours sincerely

Dear Mr Smith

I should like to apply for the HR Manager position, as advertised recently. I am a member of the Chartered Institute of Personal Management (CIPD) and have worked in several different industries during my career. These include the airline industry which required very sensitive handling as it involved negotiating with the Pilots’ Union; book publishing and working at one of the leading Universities in the country, where I was in charge of business process re-engineering. I am now seeking a fresh challenge and am very experienced in most aspects of HR from staff recruitment and development, to drawing up compliance policies and handling redundancies and staff dismissals.

I am interested in this role as it is an industry in which I have previous experience and I feel that I could add value to the company by bringing in a fresh approach, yet providing a consistent and fair approach for both management and staff. My diplomatic skills were recognised by both the Unions and Management I dealt with previously when in my job at the airlines.

I am available for interview at your convenience and references are available on request.

I attach my CV and look forward to hearing from you as appropriate.

Yours sincerely

Dear Sirs

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

I have been working in an industrial based organisation, advising on business and IT problems. On a day to day basis this has involved consulting staff, defining objectives, determining information system requirements and making recommendations, writing reports and documentation and, as part of a team, designing and installing IT systems.

I am also responsible for heading up a small team of trainers who are also involved on ongoing help desk support, answering questions and trouble-shooting where needed. It is a demanding role because of the critical nature of IT systems in keeping the business up and running at all times.

As such, I am often required to work long hours and some weekends on emergency call out.

I have been in my current role for 18 months. I have a degree in Computing Science and have gone on to study further qualifications specifically in SAP and Microsoft software application packages.

I would now like to focus on SAP and see that this is the main focus for the job advertised, hence my application for this role.

I am good at team-working as demonstrated by the fact I head up the training team, I have good analytical skills and am meticulous in my approach. I very much hope to be considered for this position and look forward to hearing from you as appropriate.

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

Yours faithfully

Jessica Carter
