This letter can help you get a job no-one knew existed
When you are walking into businesses off the street (commonly known as “Cold Calling”), it can be difficult for employers to remember everything about you after you leave. The best way to be remembered is to write a short letter of introduction.
Letters of introduction are a lot like application letters but with one small difference. Application letters are used to apply for a job that is already advertised, letters of introduction are asking if there are any jobs available. One is a response, and one is a request.
Letters of introduction follow a simple template:
- Why you’re writing and what work you are looking for
- Your experience and abilities in the role you're applying for
- Why you would like to work for their business
- Why you would be great for the role
- And asking for an interview
