Text “A”. A job hunter applies for a vacancy by sending the employer a cover letter (covering letter, application letter, letter of application or job inquiry letter). A cover letter must focus on what the applicant can offer the employer. The applicant's resume or CV is enclosed into the cover letter. The purpose of a cover letter is to make the employer read your attached resume or CV and to invite you to an interview. A successful cover letter is convincing and brief (one page, two pages maximum). It has simple and direct language, perfect spelling and grammar. You should always send the original of your cover letter. Photocopies are unacceptable. Nowadays a cover letter can be sent by E-mail or to the Internet site of the employer in the online regime.

  Amy Smith 4859 Angel Street La Palma, CA 94621 224-286-1847 [email protected]   October 11, 2011   Fernando Torres Human Resources & Development Manager BP Company 8292 Kipas Street La Palma, CA 94621   Dear Mr. Torres   Environmental Specialist   Your advertisement in Globe of October 10, 2011 calls for an experienced environmental specialist with a strong background in environmental management and reporting. This description matches my qualifications. As an environmental specialist, I could serve you and your clients well.   I have completed a Bachelor’s degree in Environmental Science from the University of California. I have 3 years experience in environmental research, analyses, and protection. I have analyzed and reported measurements and observations of air, water, soil, and other sources and made recommendations on how best to clean and preserve the environment, with perfect understanding of the issues involved in protecting the environment – degradation, conservation, recycling, and replenishment. I have learned how to identify and eliminate sources of pollutants that affect people, wildlife, and their environments. This knowledge allowed me to contribute to discussions at development meetings and to produce clear proposals with realistic examples.   I enclose my resume with full details of my working experience, which, I believe, would enable me to make an important contribution to your company.   When you have an opportunity to review my resume, I would appreciate an interview to discuss my qualifications with you. Please, phone me between 3 and 5 p.m. at 224-286-1942 on weekdays and all day long at 224-286-1847 at weekends to let me know the day and time most convenient for you.   Sincerely yours   Amy Smith (signature)   Amy Smith   Encl.: resume (1)
