The Letter of application for a job Hi everybody! I continue to prepare for IELTS exam. In this letter I'll try to use some specialized words. And of course I used some templates. Dear Sir, I am writing to apply for the post of layout designer (can I use word maker-up instead of layout designer?) advertised on July 21th on the your site in the Internet. I have worked for the past fifteen years as a DTP specialist in a printing company in the IT department. I suppose (or I think is better?) now is the right time to apply for a better position as I believe I have gained (can I use word gotten or may be received?) relevant experience and skills. As you can see from my enclosed CV I am a qualified engineer and believe (can I use think instead of believe?) I have excellent technical and professional skills. My current salary is $6,000 a year. I realize that the closing date for applications was last Tuesday, but I hope you will still consider my application. I will be available for interview at any time, apart 22 - 23 July when I have arranged a vacation (holiday?) in Poland. I look forward to hearing from you soon. Yours sincerely Aleksandr Prince

A letter of application for a job

Hi everybody! I am continuing to prepare for my IELTS exam.
In this letter, I'll try to use some specialized words. And of course, I used some templates.

Dear Sir,

I am writing to apply for the post of a layout designer advertised on July 21th on the your site on the Internet. I have worked for the past fifteen years as a DTP specialist in a printing company in the IT department. I think now is the right time to apply for a better position as I believe I have gained enough relevant experiences and skills.

As you can see from my enclosed CV, I am a qualified engineer and believe I have excellent technical and professional skills. My current salary is $6,000 a year.

I realize that the closing date for applications was last Tuesday but I hope you will still consider my application. I will be available for the interview at any time, except during the 22 - 23 July during which I have arranged a vacation/holiday in Poland.

I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Yours sincerely

Aleksandr Prince


The term 'Make-up' has more to do with cosmetics. 

'Suppose' doesn't sound very certain. 

'Believe' is more profound than 'think'. 

'Vacation' or 'holiday' are synonyms. 

Well done Aleksandr!

Dear to whom it may concern, (unless you know for certain that the addressee is a man, most formal letter will do this as to not cause offense)

I am writing to apply for the post of layout designer (In reality if the job application has used layout designer as the title of the role stick to this, this title sounds professional enough so keep it in)as advertised on July 12th  on your website. I have 15 years’ experience as a DTP specialist in a printing company within the IT department. (I’d only used I have worked if you’re naming the company specifically. In which case you say something along the lines of, I have worked for (said company) for (number of years) in the role of (role title)).  This position is would be a (adjective) opportunity for me, as I have expanded myrelevant experience and skills. (In application letters the language is formal and confident so I suppose and I think are normally avoided)

As you can see from my enclosed CV, I am a qualified engineer and (Keep I believe. Most natives are taught not to use ‘I think’ in this scenario) have an excellent standard of technical and professional skills required for this role. My current salary is $6,000 a year. 

I realize that the closing date for applications was last Tuesday, but I hope you will still consider my application. I will be available for interview at any time, apart July 22nd to July 23rd (keep your date formatting the same as previously used) when I have arranged a vacation (holiday?) in Poland. (Depends Vacation = American Holiday = British. Could use I have pre- arranged engagement if you wanted. Depends on the level of formality)


I look forward to hearing from you soon. 

Yours sincerely 

Aleksandr Prince
