Dear Addressee:
My experience working in the World Art Museum's public programming department makes me an ideal
candidate for the museum educator position you listed with Best University's career office.
You indicate that you seek someone with leadership, communication, and teaching skills. Last year I had
the opportunity to intern with the World Art Museum in the public programming department. There, I
worked behind the scenes alongside museum curators and employees designing programs for school groups
and the public. When the programs were completed and put into motion, I traveled to schools and
presented the programs to students, guided tours of museum exhibits on-site, and led groups of museum
visitors in interactive discussions and art projects.
These experiences involved application of the theoretical and practical coursework I completed for my
Education major, as well as coursework for my Art History and Creative Arts minors. My ability to work
effectively as a team member helped me successfully create and present the programs. In addition, I relied
on my strengths in written communication while creating the programs, and public speaking skills when
engaging with students and museum visitors.
Consequently, I believe that I can apply the same skills I used in my internship last year to a position at
your museum. I look forward to discussing the job opportunity with you in more detail. I will call next
week to see if you agree that my experiences match the qualifications you seek in your ideal candidate. If
so, I would like to schedule an interview at a mutually convenient time. I look forward to speaking with
you, and thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Signature

Dear Mr. Lee
Re: Computer Graphic Designer
With reference to the advertisement in the SCMP on January 11, 1998, I am writing to apply for the
position of Computer Graphic Designer.
I am currently a full-time student studying a degree course in Information Technology at the Hong Kong
Polytechnic University and I am due to graduate in June1998. As you can see from the enclosed CV, I have
extensive experience in computer graphic design. Apart from the formal training I have obtained from my
three-year course and summer programmes, I have had a number of part-time and summer jobs which have
helped me to gain experience in designing computer graphics. Frequent participation in workshops,
competitions and extra-curricular activities involving the subject has also allowed me to develop insight
into the area.
My professional training at the university requires adaptability and creative use of the resources available to
produce graphics for real customers in the business world. Working as a student researcher during the last
semester has further expanded my skills in data processing and graphic design, and more importantly, my
ability to work independently. I feel, therefore, that I have not only the experience that you are looking for,
but a number of other invaluable skills which would benefit me in this position.
I would like to have the opportunity to discuss this position with you further. I can be contacted at 2777
7777 or 9922 0000 between 8.30am and 6.30pm. Thank you for your consideration and I await your reply.
Yours sincerely,
Kwong Chi-ming , Tommy
