 How to apply for job when there is no advertisement

Do you know that you can actually apply for a job when there is no advertisement? This can be done with the aid of a letter inquiry.  A letter of inquiry is really another type of a cover letter but with a different functionality. Like its name implies it is a letter that could be sent to a company to inquire if there is vacancy. In other words you can apply for a job in any company or establishment even when there is no advert instead of waiting for vacancy advert before you apply, with the aid of letter of inquiry. I recommend this letter strongly for IT (industrial Training application). Nevertheless, this letter is equally useful to other type of applicant that is graduates and other job seekers. This is a result of the fact that a process will increase your chances of landing your dream job. It can only cost you a few bucks buying a lot of envelopes and paper, but it definitely worth it.

How to write a letter of inquiry

Writing a letter of inquiry demand the same rule and similar pattern as the cover letter which is usually 3-4 paragraphs, concise introduction, elaborate, explanatory body and a very strong conclusion; In addition make sure to address the letter to the name of the recruiter as addressing it to “to whom it may concern” is usually perceived to be weak. Below is an example of letter of inquiry.
