Unit 2 WRITING A LETTER OF APPLICATION FOR A JOB
The purpose of a job application letter is to get an interview. If you get a job through interviews arranged by your campus placement office or through contacts, you may not need to write a letter. However if you want to work for an organization that isn’t interviewing on campus, or later when you change jobs, you will. Writing a letter is also a good preparation for a job interview, since the letter is your first step in showing a specific company what you can do for it.
In a letter of application you should
- Address the letter to a specific person.
- Indicate the specific position for which you are applying.
- Be specific about your qualifications.
- Show what separates you from other applicants.
- Show a knowledge of the company and the position.
- Refer to you resume (which you would enclose with the letter).
- Ask for an interview.

Mr. Michael Tarkanian
Vice President, Personnel
Target Department Stores
637 South Lucas Avenue
Los Angeles, CA 90017
Dear Mr. Tarkanian:
Since I have focused my education and training on retail management, your advertisement for a management trainee, appearing October 7 in Section F of the Los Angeles Times, captured my attention.
Recent sales and management experience at Rike’s Department Store enabled me to develop the interpersonal and supervisory skills specified in the Target advertisement. I started as a salesperson and was soon promoted to assistant manager, a position demanding initiative and responsibility.
In addition to this experience, I am enrolled at Valley Community College and expect to receive an associate’s degree in June. In my marketing major, I successfully completed courses in marketing, management, microcomputing, and communication, earning a 3.5 grade-point average in my major.
Please examine the attached resume for details of my qualifications. At your request, I would be pleased to provide the names of individuals who could verify my education, skills, and performance.
I would appreciate an opportunity to discuss with you now my background and training could contribute to Target Department Stores. Please call me at (818) 359-9920 to arrange an interview at your convenience.
Sincerely,
Enclosure
