Letter of introduction

With your resume this letter will firstly design your personality to the employer; it is the first contact between you and that person. In some short paragraphs you will point out your aptitudes, knowledge and know-how.

When answering an ad your objective is twofold: show that you perfectly understand the needs of the company and point out adequacy between the position and your profile. With that first sentence you should attract the interest of the employer. Then develop with other attractive points (don't copy your resume - be concise). Express you wish to meet the employer.

If you send a spontaneous application, please gather maximum information on the company you wish to apply to and express your personal interests on this company and its field of activities. Your letter should be true and personal. Your reader should understand that your letter is unique.

Always remember that truth and sincerity are crucial.

These are some advice and we hope they will be helpful to you. Good luck and ... read you soon.
