you're sending a ';letter of interest';. normally, a resume is required. if you're infinitely qualified (you probably are not or you would not be asking this question) you just send your resume along with salary requirements.


a resume has ONLY one function. that is to reject people!! so, a letter of interest is a good way to apply if you're not really qualified for the position.


now, having said that it should contain these points:


1. the position your interested in


2. the reason you think (NEVER say feel always think- feel means emotion think means thought) you are not only qualified for this postition, but would excel.


3. do your research before your letter-know as much about the company as you can find out (this could include internet searches and the library). you may not get to first base, but if you do you need to show you have done your homework-if you did this much work just to apply then what would you do if you actually worked for them.


4. follow up with a phone call-or really better-show up in person and ask for the person your letter is addressed to (yeah-you need to have found out who would do the interview (depending on the size of the company-you will go through anywhere from one to four interviews) I even applied for a job once where they required a hand written one page letter explaining the reason they should choose me-in addition to my resume-they sent the handwritten pages to hand writing analysis, but that was an international company, and they are sorta weird by our standards.I want to apply for a job.

Usually, anytime I've ever seen this requirement has the ';letter'; portion be a paragraph explanation of why you would be best for the job.





Have you asked about the application process for your desired job? Is there no application to fill out? They might have some requirements of your app. letter, so visit your desired job location and ask on how to apply!





Secondly, if you physically visit them to ask, you get valuable face-time with potential bosses and a chance to make a good impression:)





(or at least call them)
