Unit 2. Applying For a Job.

There are two types of applications: 1) an unsolicited letter (самостоятельная просьба о приеме на работу) is a letter sent even if a company didn’t announce a vacancy; 2) a reply to an advertisement (an ad) for employment appearing in the media. Both types of letters are also called covering letters for c.v. (сопроводительные письма).

Generally, the terms vacancy, post, position, or opening are used instead of the word job in applications.

The aim of a covering letter is to inform an employer what position you would like to get and why you are applying for this particular vacancy. It is also supposed to give information on qualification, experiences and your present duties relevant to the advertised position.

Opening

– I would like to apply for the position of Programmer advertised in this month’s edition of Computer Technics.

– I am answering (replying to) your advertisement for the post of Marketing Director which appeared in yesterday’s Times.

– I am writing to ask you if you might have a vacancy in the (your) general office for a clerical assistant.

– I was recommended by … who is currently working with your firm, to contact you concerning a possible post in the (your) … department.

Personal Details

If your enquiry is only for an application form, you can give some brief details about yourself, and then ask for the form.
