Dear Sirs,

I am an undergraduate at Altai State University, Rubtsovsk Branch.

With reference to your advertisement in “Barnaul Daily Post” of May 10, I would like to apply for the position of hardware engineer at Barnaul department of your company. I hear that you are having preference for young specialists who could contribute their creativity, enable the company to launch new projects and thus win new markets in highly competitive environment.

I hope that my educational background and professional experience will meet your expectations. In particular, my work as an engineer assistant gave me all required technical skills in maintaining and servicing hardware of different types and creating operating programs. Moreover, it taught me how to be flexible and make decisions quickly and independently. The course at school of economics gave me good knowledge of theory and latest world trends relevant to the job. The course of English enabled me to study technical literature, catalogues and specifications, and use innovations in my work. I believe that my knowledge and skills could be beneficial for the company.

I have enclosed a copy of my resume and a list of references. I am willing to be interviewed. If my background and qualifications are of interest to you, please phone me on 12 345.

Thank you for your consideration and look forward to hearing from you soon.

Yours faithfully,

Ivan Ivanov.

Тексты для чтения:

Manager

Not every man can be a good manager. A good manager needs have certain personal traits of character. A manager has subordinates. He has to be authoritative and strong-willed – he must convince people to do things. A good manager is competent – he knows his job and the job of his subordinates well. A good manager is efficient – he never leaves tasks unfinished, and does his best to achieve the goals. A manager must be intelligent – a business cannot be successful with a stupid manager. In most businesses, a manager needn’t be beautiful, friendly or stylish. But he must be able to see the good ideas, innovations and to use them in his business. A real manager can make right decisions quickly.

Accountant

The modern accountant plays an important role in business activity. His tasks are wider than a dozen years ago. He acts as an adviser to management and helps them in decision making.

Good knowledge of mathematics does not make a good accountant. A very important quality is the ability to think clearly and see a general financial picture made up of separate figures. (By the way, a liking of crosswords and other puzzles is an indication of good analytical skills).

A good accountant can explain his ideas and conclusions simply and clearly. His ideas must be understood not only by other accountants, but also clients and management. Figures alone are of no use, the conclusion must be communicated properly.

Traditions die hard in most professions. Accountancy is no exception. People expect you to wear a suit at work rather than jeans and a T-shirt or pink hair. But paradoxically, good accountants should not be too conformist in their thinking. They know their own mind and have confidence in their professional judgment.

It is not easy to put the qualities of a good accountant in a nutshell. Some of them are inborn, others are acquired by education and experience: a good knowledge of accounting and the ability to apply it in practical life; a broad general outlook and understanding of economic trends and events; responsibility, decision-making ability, punctuality; the ability to get on with colleagues, personnel and people in general.
