Software Developer Job Application Cover Letter Example.

If you have a degree in IT, science or maths then make sure that you mention it in your covering letter as well as any related qualifications especially in Java, Oracle, Linux, NET, C++, Visual Basic or Smalltalk. You may be able to succeed with an non IT related degree but you will need to show that you have experience in software. You will need to keep your skills up to date and so if you have no recent qualifications, you will need to show how you are keeping up to date with the latest software developments.

Skills in programming should include traditional methods such as Java and Visual Basic as well as web based development. Make sure that if specific programs are needed that you can show you have adequate knowledge of them. Obviously work experience is important too. Any relevant experience should be mentioned, but anything within the industry you plan to go in to could also be helpful. You will also need to have good team working, organisation and communications skills and so these should be demonstrated in your letter. You need to be able to work with the business and / or customers to make sure that their software needs are answered in light of the needs of the business as a whole.

Dear [Insert Name]

Application for Vacancy for Software Developer

I write with respect to your job advertisement on Learnist.org for an experienced Software Developer.

During the past 2 years working amongst a small team of software developers, I have gained extensive knowledge of installing, maintaining and troubleshooting and this, together with the qualifications I have gained makes me an ideal candidate.

I note from your website that your company has recently achieved targets in securing additional clients and I consider I would be a true asset to your company with my excellent software development skills and ability to communicate well with colleagues and clients. My greatest strengths are being able to write and code programmes in accordance with a brief, investigate and analyse defects and perform well under pressure.

Please find enclosed a copy of my CV for your consideration. I would be delighted to have the opportunity to meet with you to discuss further the job role and my previous work history.

Yours sincerely,

A care assistant is dealing with people all of the time. This means that it is very important to make sure that you highlight all of your experience in working with people even with small examples of your caring personality, in the letter. Obviously if you have worked as a care assistant before, then you need to mention that but also highlight any skills you have that would fit in this job. Working with people, especially vulnerable ones even if in a volunteer capacity can be useful. Patience, listening skills, communication skills and flexibility are all important. Highlight these if you have not got any relevant work experience in the field and even if you have. Keep the job description in mind as well and make sure that you take the key requirements and explain how you can do them.

Although a care assistant is not an office based job, it is still important to keep your cover letter professional. This could make it stand out over ones that are not and show your written skills. There will be some paperwork as part of the role of care assistant and a good cover letter will show that you can do this.

As you will see from my CV I have previously worked at a care assistant at the xxxx home. I was in this role for two years before taking some time off work to look after my children. I am now looking for work again and feel that I would like to go back in to this area of work. I feel that looking after children has helped me to improve my caring skills.

I have my NVQ level 2 in health and social care, which fits with your requirements, but would like to study for level 3 or other relevant qualifications, should the opportunity arise. I feel that moving from working with the elderly in my past job, to working with children seems like a natural progression now that I have children myself. I have been volunteering at the nursery that my children go to in order to pick up some skills in that area as well. I understand that the role may require some shift work, which I am fully prepared to do.

Please take a look at my enclosed CV for more details and I look forward to hearing from you.

Many roles include the need for these skills, so even if you were not working specifically as an administrator before, any office job could be worth a mention. Any secretarial qualification or experience could also be worth highlighting as these will be useful in the role as an administrator. Consider the type of business that you will be working for as well and mention anything of relevance to that, such as if it is with an insurance company, mention and insurance company work you have done in the past.

Dear Sirs

Further to your advertisement in the Learnist Courier for a delivery driver I would like you to consider my application.

Although I don’t have any experience the advertisement does state that it isn’t essential. I do have a clean driving licence, and passed my test more than five years ago. I understand that the work will involve driving a van with parcels from a local catalogue clothes company to their customers.

I do know the area reasonably well as I have lived in Colwyn Bay for the last ten years and prior to that I lived in Bangor.

I understand that the vehicle will be loaded ready for the driver in the mornings and the van is returned to the depot. It is really helpful that the route is planned in advance and that the van is loaded so that items for the last drop are the furthest from the door.

I have enclosed my CV which shows my work history, although I haven’t worked for the past few years as I wanted to stay at home with the children. They are now of an age where I am able to make arrangements for them after school and in the holidays.

I am available to attend an interview at any time convenient for you and I hope to hear from you soon.
