What to avoid when writing 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, Perth, Brisbane, Adelaide and Melbourne. In addition to international clients. Including clients from USA, UK, Germany, Mexico, Brazil and Canada.
- Use the above letter as a sample. Then modify it to write your own letter.
