Application Letters and Forms

At some point in your career, you will have to write a letter applying for a job or complete a personal statement on an application form.  Obviously, you want the reader of this to invite you to an interview.

Here is my best advice and some examples of letters:

• Write on plain white paper. If you struggle to keep your lines of writing straight use feint pencil lines as a guide and rub these out when you have completed the writing.

• Use a pen that helps you to produce your best handwriting and write in a sensible colour of ink - black or blue NOT red or green.

• Try to write in short simple sentences.

• It is a good idea to write your letter on a PC using  Word and use the spell and grammar check. This draft copy can then be copied.
