Letter of Interest(Enquiry letter) Sample

During the course of your job search, you may want to inquire about a job at a company you
would like to work for, but that does not have an appropriate job posting at the time. In this
case, you will want to send a letter of interest, expressing your desire to meet with a hiring
manager about what opportunities might be available to you.

In your letter of interest, you should include the type of job you are seeking, and how your skills
and experience make you an excellent candidate. You should also include the reasons you feel
you would be a great fit for the company, and any pertinent references or recommendations
you may have. It is helpful if you know, or can find, the name of a specific individual in the
hiring department, or a manager in the department that interests you, to give your letter the
best chance at being seen.

Dear Mr./Ms. Last Name,

The American Company has been recognized as one of the best places to work in the country
for IT professionals. You have deliberately set out to create this culture, and it shows! It is my
understanding that you have been deluged with resumes since Computer land released their
list of the best companies at which to work.

Mine is one more, but I do have some experience that is hard to come by, and sets me apart
from my peers.
My IT experience gives me a unique ability to apply technology, in all its forms, to business
processes. Some of the my business process knowledge includes accounting, finance, facilities,
inventory control, budgeting, vendor management and various operational processes.

I would appreciate an opportunity to talk with you or someone in your organization to see where
my skill set would be of the greatest benefit to your company.

Sincerely,

Your Signature (hard copy letter)
