Dear Mr Wayne

I wish to apply for the position of machinist (ref 301/00) that was advertised on www.seek.com.au on 20 August 2000.

I have over five years experience as a Machinist with Weaveanduck and have experience of a wide variety of pattern techniques. My technical skills are second-to-none, and I have an excellent record as a reliable, productive employee.

I am looking for new challenges and the position of Machinist sounds the perfect opportunity. Your organisation has an enviable record in innovation in machining, and an excellent reputation as an employer, making the position even more attractive.

I enclose my resume for your inspection and look forward to hearing from you soon. I am available for interview at your convenience.

Dear Mr Klein

I wish to apply for the position of Personal Assistant (your reference 0900/A) as advertised on SEEK.

For your consideration I have enclosed a Phase 1Lmy résumé. I believe that my résumé will demonstrate that I have the complete range of skills and experience to be able to achieve in the advertised position including the communication and computer skills mentioned. It is harder in a résumé to demonstrate the personal qualities and beliefs that I have which are also necessary to be a good Personal Assistant (PA).

The manufacturing industry is going through a period of significant change and it is important that senior managers are able to devote their energies to ensuring that gains result from this change. I believe that PAs should assist in this process by freeing senior managers to devote time to the serious issues while the PA takes care of the more peripheral issues.

To do this successfully the PA must be able to develop a relationship with a senior manager built on understanding, trust and the ability to keep confidences. It is the quality of this relationship which often is as much the measure of the efficiency of a PA as the technical skills.

A good PA also has a broad understanding of the structures of the company, the industry in general, the markets for the company products and influencing factors on those markets.

I understand the importance of a good PA and I am sure that my referees will attest to my good nature and my personal qualities as well as my skills and experience. This is why I am applying for this position.

I look forward to hearing from you soon. I am available for interview any time at your convenience.

Yours sincerely

Alice Smith

Dear Ms. Jones:

I am highly interested in the co-op position offered by your company for the fall.  My interest in mechanical engineering lies in design, and I understand that XYZ Corporation offers excellent opportunities for students to gain such experience.  I currently possess a 3.78 grade point average at Georgia Tech and am willing to learn any new skills or software applications that will assist me in doing my job.

I feel I can make a positive contribution to your company.  I have developed leadership skills through high school football and by serving as President of Volunteer F/X, a student organization at Georgia Tech.  Being an honorary football captain taught me the importance of working as part of a team and gave me the opportunity to lead others.  My role in Volunteer F/X has allowed me to coordinate numerous projects, and working at Wal-Mart this summer has helped me to learn customer service skills.

My resume and transcript are attached.  I appreciate your consideration of my credentials.  If I can provide you with additional information, please let me know.  You can reach me by email at gtXXXXX@prism.gatech.edu or by phone at (XXX) XXX-XXXX.  I look forward to discussing my qualifications with you in person.
