Dear Mr Willy,
Re: PMO Manager
I would like to apply for the PMO Manager role on jobserve.com. Having looked at the Job
Specification, I can see there is a strong match for what the role entails and my experience.
I have just finished a contract in the Front Office at Investment Bank X to set up a PMO in an
environment that hasn’t seen much change. I have created a complete governance structure including
key templates, set up a steering committee to facilitate decision making and developed the entire
reporting process. Owing to my strong technical skills, I was quickly able to automate the entire
reporting process, hand that over to a junior PMO resource and focus on high value-add activities
such as relationship building and raising awareness of the PMO’s initiative.
Prior to this, I was working on a huge change project as a PMO Manager at Barclays Investment Bank
where aside from implementing governance, I was creating budgeting, reporting and planning for the
£40m change portfolio.
I would love to discuss this further with you; please get in touch at your convenience otherwise I will
give you a call by COB today.
Regards

Mr R S. Suresh
Managing Director
GearBelt Resources Ltd
London
Dear Mr Suresh,
I would like to apply for the Data Analyst position advertised on jobserve.com for which I have
attached my CV. To give you some background on myself I have several years’ experience mostly in
Financial Services doing lots of Data Analysis work.
At Bank X and Bank Y, I worked within Change Management and used my Excel/VBA skills to
manage the large portfolios of programmes and provide data management and MI Reporting
functionality. This required very sophisticated VBA and use of the VBA Object Model to integrate
Excel/Word/Access/PowerPoint & SharePoint to deliver sophisticated business solutions. As a
former Business Analyst and consultant, I needed to elicit requirements and was very comfortable
engaging with and steering all levels of Management to the best possible solutions.
At Consultancy X, I was involved in helping to drive better reporting and data management culture
with one of our big Retail Banking clients. One of my achievements was to develop a data cleansing
tool (Excel/Access/SQL) which also reports on areas that provide poor quality data; this resulted in a
significant improvement of the data quality for which I was praised by senior management. My strong
technical skills and consulting manner put me in the unique position of helping clients by developing
several huge value automated tools to improve their delivery capability. This unexpected value-add
work created goodwill with the clients and resulted in numerous extensions for my team at the client
site.
I am currently winding down from my present contract so am actively pursuing, I would welcome a
call to discuss this further with you

Dear Gordon,
Re: Head of Reporting Vacancy
I called you earlier to introduce myself and apply for the Head of Reporting vacancy you advertised
on Indeed.co.uk. To give you a quick background, I have managed reporting for several Banks on
some high-profile transformation programmes over the last five years and have developed a strong
reputation in the city as a Programme, reporting specialist.
My understanding of what is required to develop excellent value-add reporting frameworks are
second to none, I have very strong technical skills (Excel VBA) which allow me to deploy solutions
at a fraction of the cost myself and I have very strong stakeholder management. I have very unique
and specific experiences to excel in this role and am positive that a meeting with your client will yield
an offer.
As mentioned I will follow up with a call a little later today to discuss in more detail but in the

6. RESEARCH ANALYST ROLE
DR. CLEM CALLY
68 Riverside Close, London, UK EW 2LH| +44 7384958639│ ccally@gmail.com
20th May 2018
For the attention of R T Kelly, MAXAD Recruitment Ltd, London (www.maxad.co.uk)
Dear Mr Kelly
APPLICATION FOR A RESEARCH ANALYST ROLE
My name is Clem Cally, an experienced researcher, who is committed to a career in Market & Business Research
Analyses. I’ve always had a passion and enthusiasm for investigating and researching for new ideas and solutions,
and my doctoral research training at Oxford University has facilitated this, and I’m now dedicated toward this
career path.
GlobeScan has a heritage and respected reputation for applying rigorous research evidence and ideas to business
and society’s solutions. I believe they do this with three important fundamentals to their work: “…progressive in
outlook, independent in spirit, and collaborative in approach”. These attributes are essential for any research
organisation whose work is a world class. I was impressed to learn that many international organisations are
collaborating with GlobeScan in the various impactful studies you are conducting or conducted; this shows how
well these organisations value and trust the expertise of GlobeScan in research circles. Current projects such as
“Survey of the poor”, “Hope Index”, and “Lord Holme Memorial Bursary” are fantastic because of their global
impacts. I was also more than impressed to learn that the bursary project has helped candidates in developing
countries to fulfil their study dreams. I believe that giving to the community is essential for today’s company
reputation and acceptance.
I want to be part of your organisation because GlobeScan is in the forefront at helping businesses to redefine
themselves toward their stakeholders and the community, manage their reputation, and maintain a purpose. Also,
she is committed toward her community and sustainable development: she provides valuable opportunities for staff
personal development and training in applied research, analysis, and sharpening of consulting skills. These are
values that great companies champion, which I deeply align with; these opportunities would help me in my lifelong
vision for understanding and attempts at contributing to research on how businesses and economies could be more
sustainable and equitable
The following examples from my CV represent the value I can deliver in this new role:
▪ Importantly, I can assist GlobeScan with my entrepreneurial ideas (i.e., whenever she intends to
expand her research frontiers) to benefit also from the huge and untapped research and consultancy
jobs in the different areas and subsectors that exist in developing countries’ markets in African
including Nigeria, my home country.
▪ I am highly knowledgeable in statistical analysis including quantitative as well as qualitative
methodologies of primary and secondary data. I have a strong Econometric Modelling & Economic
Theory background.
I would very much like the opportunity to discuss, in person, how I can meet the demands of this role to advance
the overall mission of your company. Thank you for reviewing this letter and the accompanying material.
Yours sincerely,
DR. Clem Cally

Dear Mr Willy,
SALES MANAGEMENT VACANCIES
Having seen the article in The Grocer mentioning the impressive new warehousing facility you are
constructing in Guildford, I am writing to outline my extensive experience and successful track record
as a Sales Manager. I believe I possess the skills, qualifications and vital experience necessary to
make a very significant contribution to your sales operation.
I am an extremely commercially astute and highly motivated salesman. As you will note from my
enclosed CV, in my current role I have delivered a substantial increase in weekly sales levels, from
£45,000 to £85,000 – very nearly double. This has resulted in a major impact on the company’s
bottom line.
Also, as a consequence of my excellent interpersonal and networking skills, I have a natural talent for
PR. Recently, I organised a thoroughly successful product launch, gaining local and national press
coverage – which included my featuring in the programme ‘Business Lunch’ on XYZ TV, providing
invaluable exposure for the business.
Having just graduated with a BA (Hons.) in Marketing and Advertising, I am now looking for a
challenging new position. Your company does, of course, work closely with suppliers in France, and
this would be an ideal opportunity for me to make the very most of my language skills; my degree
course included 2 months of valuable work experience in Marseille.

application in greater depth.
Yours sincerely,

Dear Mrs Willy,
SITE MANAGEMENT VACANCIES
Having read the piece in Building magazine which detailed the major new housing contract
you have just secured, I am writing to outline my experience as a Site Manager. I believe I
possess the skills, qualifications and vital experience necessary to ensure the successful
and profitable completion of this important new contract.
As you will see from my enclosed CV, in my current role, I have had full responsibility for the
end-to-end management of a variety of high-value projects such as the recent new build of
four luxury houses with a resale value of £8 million. As well as my general responsibility for
all site personnel, I was also tasked with controlling costs, contributing directly to the
completion of the project with a 14% cost saving. This clearly added significantly to the profit
margin on resale.
Now nearing the completion of my NHBC NVQ in Site Manager Development Level IV, I am
keen to further broaden my experience with a suitably challenging new project. Your
company has an excellent reputation for the quality of your work and, whilst keeping costs
in check is clearly vital, I have demonstrated that, with careful management, this need not
be at the expense of quality standards.
Please do not hesitate to call me on 07700 900 532 so we can arrange an interview to
discuss my application in greater depth.
