UNIT 14. EMPLOYMENT

Dear Mr. Haskell,

Would your company benefit from the services of a creative, innovative technical writer? My contributions to former companies have resulted in increased sales and an enhanced company image through the production of easy-to-read user manuals. I can make that same contribution to Tone Ltd.

I used my English degree from Northeastern University to launch my technical writing career more than ten years ago. Since then I have written articles in several professional magazines and have written more than 15 user manuals for both technical and non-technical audiences.

Please give me the opportunity to meet with you to discuss any permanent or freelance jobs that may be available. I will bring my portfolio so that you can evaluate my writing style. Please call me at (312) 726-1147.

Yours, Donna Randall

Dear Mr. Black:

It is with great interest that I am applying for the position of chief accountant. When I read the job description of your ad in the New York Times on August 12th, I felt that it was an ideal match with my career aspirations. I have always wanted to work for an oustanding company such as Global Answers.

I believe that I am the ideal candidate for the position due to my extensive experience as an auditor for KPMG. At my current position at KPMG, I perform all of the same tasks that are described in your ad for the chief accountant position. In addition to that I have a reputation for being a hard worker who makes sure the job is done right the first time. My reports are always completed well ahead of the deadline.

Feel free to contact me and setup an interview at your earliest convenience. You can reach me by way of e-mail at [email protected] or by way of phone at (105) 454-4307. I look forward to discussing with you my future with Global Answers. Thanks for your time and consideration.

Sincerely,

Ken Jacobs

Dear Mr Williamson

In the three years that I have been working for Planet Insurance, I have greatly enjoyed being a member of the I.T. department, combining my programming knowledge with my communication and people skills.

I feel that during this time, I have not only benefitted greatly from the experience, but that I have also made certain accomplishments that have been of benefit to the company. In 2011, for example, I wrote a computer program which greatly reduced the time spent on certain backup procedures, and in July 2012 I was responsible for the successful introduction of the online account management system.

With these points in mind, I would like to request a salary increase of £2000 per annum. I am very keen to continue being a valuable to the firm and appreciate your serious consideration of my request.

Please find the attached an updated copy of my CV, which details my skills and accomplishments, both in my current work at Planet Insurance and in my previous jobs.

If you would like to discuss this matter further, please do not hesitate to arrange a meeting at your convenience.

Yours sincerely
