Question

The purpose of a letter of application is to help you to “sell” yourself. It should state   __36__ the job you want and should tell what your abilities are and what you have   37  . It should be simple human personal and brief without  38   out any necessary facts.

     In writing a letter of application keep in   39    that things a possible employer is most   40   to want to know about are your qualification your achievements and your aims. The opening paragraph is perhaps the most important part.   41   the first few sentences fail to   42   the readers’ attention the rest of the letter may not be   43    at all. Try to key your opening remarks to the needs or interests of the employer not   44    your own needs or desires. For example instead of beginning with “I saw your  45  in today’s newspaper”. You might say “I have made a careful   46   of your advertising during the past six months” or “ I have made a survey in my neighborhood to find out how many housewives   47   your product and why they like it”.

    Try to   48   generalities (笼统) . Be clear about the kind of job for which you are now   ___49   . College graduates looking for their first positions often ask “What can I   50  ?” in a letter. Employers want experience---which naturally no  51   has. The answer is that everything you have ever done is   52   .

    It is important to write a good strong closing remark for your letter.   53    a specific request for an interview or give the possible employer something definite to do or expect. An excellent   54_  is to enclose a stamped self-addressed envelope with your letter. That makes it   55   for a possible employer to get in touch with you.
