Question
A tourist company which organises coach tours of your home town has placed the following advertisement in your local newspaper:

TOUR GUIDES REQUIRED

Are you an outgoing and sociable person, who has a good command of English and some knowledge of local history? If so, then we would like to hear from you!

Take-a-Tour is setting up a branch in your area and we are looking for tour guides to accompany up to fifty passengers a time on our coach tours. Your duties will include welcoming passengers aboard the coach, giving a commentary about the local sights, and taking small groups around the town on foot.

If this sounds like the job for you please send a letter telling us why. Interviews will be held next month.

Write the letter of application

Dear Sir/ Madam,
I am writing to apply for the position of a tour guide as advertised in our local newspaper.
As outlined in my curriculum vitae, which I have enclosed, I attended Novogrudok Seconadary School where I completed my âAâ level studies. In 2000, I graduated from the University of Foreign Languages in Minsk (Belarus) with a BSc in the History of English and Pedagogics.
After graduation, I moved to Warsaw where I decided to develop my interest in English teaching through a masterâs degree. Since at Warsaw University it is an absolute necessity for a would-be teacher to specialize in two subjects, I expressed a preference to continue studying English and World History. So at present I am a holder of MA in English. Furthermore, I have recently obtained a grade A in the Cambridge Advanced English Examination.
I am currently employed as a teacher of English and History at Warsaw High School, where I have been noted for my good organizational and communication skills. Since I know some valuable psychological methods of influencing people, I have never faced any problems of misbehaviour or disorganisaton. On the contrary, my students look up on me and never give me a reason for disappointment. Due to the fact that I am an active and energetic person, I have organized a short tour around Warsaw, which gave me an opportunity to learn more about the main places of interest and obtain a valuable insight into Polish culture.
I believe I am an ideal candidate for the position you have outlined, as my profession includes an extensive communication with children and adults. Besides, my wide historical knowledge cannot go unnoticed. So beyond all question all tourists will be captivated by whatever historical facts I will be telling them.
I enclose my curriculum vitae, and I would be happy to supply you with further details should be required. I thank you for considering my application and I will be available for an interview at any time.
Yours faithfully,
Victoria Komorowskaya

Dear Madam W....,

I have been recently talking to Madam L..... from I....... about your project. She asked me to send a letter of motivation. With this correspondence, I would like to introduce myself and show my interest and motivation for your project.

I see your implementation in Switzerland as a great opportunity for my professional development, because it could allow me to implement on a larger scale what I have been doing during the last 5 years. This would mean for me to put into action a growth strategy for your products in a country where I have good connections and with products that could fit with the high standard of quality required on the Swiss medical market.

As you will notice in my Curriculum vitae, my business experience and my Master in Business and Administration have allowed me to make a precise analyse of the market requirement concerning our range of products. I have then been able to convince my Company to introduce new concepts for our customers. These new concepts have brought additional sales possibilities for an existing market/segments, improved the visibility of the Company and gain some very important Key Opinion Leader support. The development of my personal network particularly in France and in Switzerland and my colleagues in Germany made our new launches successful. Thanks to this success, we have also gained a strategic collaboration with one major Medical Device Company on our market. For sure, this close collaboration is going to end with an acquisition and the transfer of my activities to an area close to Aarau, This is the reason why I want to anticipate this acquisition and find a new project where I can continue to invest my energy and motivation.

During my last two experiences, I worked as a manager for the staff and the sales teams (about 5-7 people). Amongst other things, like the organization of the work, I was responsible for goals setting and evaluation, job interviews, writing the contracts and certifications. I enjoyed this work and so I decided to make it more professional by taking different additional trainings.

Personally, I consider myself as a dynamic, perseverant and organized person. I like to think ahead and beyond regular solutions for ordinary problems. During these last 5 years I have participated to the launch of a new company and I have really learned a lot in that period. I have not only acquired new business knowledge, but most important than that, I have learned the values of teamwork and of organization to accomplish tasks in time. I have a very good technical understanding, advanced computer skills (MS Office, CRM softwares) and a good command of English, which I have improved with a Business English Course and training at Chicago during one year. I currently work and speak in German.

I am sure that your project is a two-way road, because I can certainly offer you all of my effort and experience to bring you success and you can help me to achieve an important goal to work for a major Company.

Thank you for taking the time to consider my motivation letter. I am looking forward to hearing from you in the near future,

Yours sincerely,
