Dear Sirs, |
|
I should like to apply for the position of Advertising and Public
Relations Manager which you advertised this morning. I am 27 years old
and I graduated from Leeds University with an honours degree in English.
Before going to University, I spent a year in Spain studying Spanish. I
taught for six months at a language school in Madrid. |
|
I spent one year as a trainee in advertising with the Palmer & Vincent
Agency. |
|
For the past three years I have been with the agency Thrust, William &
Knox. I was an assistant account executive for the first two years and
have been an account executive for the past year. My present salary is
£26,5OO
a year. |
|
I should very much like the opportunity to work in industry and I hope
you will feel able to give me an interview. |
|
Yours faithfully, |
|
J.
