What to avoid in your simple application letter

  • Don’t mention weaknesses.
  • Do not include salary expectations. But, when asked, indicate that you are negotiable. Also, let me work with you to negotiate a higher salary.
  • If your letter is too long, the boss may not read your resume. Because they don’t have time.
  • Don’t use “I” too much.

 

I help clients across Australia. Including clients in Sydney, Brisbane, Perth and Melbourne. In addition to international clients. Including clients from USA, UK, Philippines and Canada.

 

  • Use this simple letter as a sample. Then modify it to write your own letter.
  • The above simple letter sample is for all fields. Even though I used teacher in this sample letter. So use it whether you are a nurse, CEO, engineer or childcare teacher.
  • Keep a copy of each letter that you send.
