You have been looking for a job and have seen a job advertisement for a part-time position. Write a letter to the employer. In your letter explain why you need the job; describe your skills and qualifications; say what days you are available.
Dear Sir/Madam,
I am writing to express my interest in the part-time accountant position that you advertised on your website. I am confident that my knowledge and skills in the field of accounting make me the ideal candidate for
this
job.
Firstly
, please allow me to briefly introduce myself. I am a postgraduate student majoring in Finance and Accounting at the University of Melbourne. Currently, I am seeking a suitable part-time job that can support my tuition fee and bring me workplace experience. Your position perfectly aligns with my professional field and my ability.
During my undergraduate program, I have had multiple internship experiences in various industries, ranging from international accounting firms to local businesses. These real experiences honed my skills in the real business world, including the ability to work with commonly used accounting software and prepare/analyse financial reports, and equipped me with a deep understanding of business operations and financial management.
In addition
to the qualities listed above, I am also
prepared to work with a flexible schedule. I am able to work from 4 pm onward on weekdays and full-time on weekends. I am willing to adjust my intended working time and hours according to
your specific arrangements.
I am enthusiastic about the possibility of bringing my skills to your team, and I would highly appreciate it if you could consider my application. I have attached my CV to this
email and I am eager to provide further
information during a personal interview.
I look forward to the opportunity to have a conversation with you.
Yours sincerely,

Coherence and Cohesion
Ensure a clear paragraph structure by directly relating each paragraph to the topic. While you've done well, making each paragraph's first or last sentence explicitly tie back to the job position would strengthen coherence.
Task Achievement
In the future, consider providing more detailed examples of your skills or specific results achieved during your internships. This could make your task response even stronger by showing, rather than telling, your qualifications.
Coherence and Cohesion
Consider adding a more dynamic concluding sentence that reiterates your enthusiasm and readiness for the position, creating a memorable ending.
Task Achievement
To further enhance your letter, you could briefly mention how your goals or aspirations align with the company’s mission or values, adding depth to your task achievement.
Structure your letter
A letter needs to be written using a proper format, including the following:
- A greeting (Dear sir/madam, Dear John, Dear Mr. Smith)
- The main body (consisting of paragraphs for each part of the letter)
- A closing (Yours sincerely, Yours faithfully, Best wishes, Kind regards, Love)
When writing a letter as part of the IELTS General Training Writing Task 1, it is important to include the bullet points presented to you in the question.
All three bullet points need to be presented. And remember that some bullet points contain more than one element. So, make sure to watch for ‘and’ and plurals.
