Currently seeking new employment to alleviate boredom.

Most of the adverts I have seen have been for companies requiring a number of different positions in the Construction industry. Has anyone got any great application letters. I can never think of what to write.

Any application letter needs to refer to each and every aspect of the person specification / job description (if possible). If you meet these then you are all but assured an interview and your sparkling persona does the rest. Best way I reckon is to address each large issue in a paragraph, and no more than 2 sides for the whole thing. At least one sentence per item, exampling (is that a word?) how you meet the spec.

Not like I've just sent off for a job or owt...

Bon chance

LIE, nowt wrong with a few little white lies, dont go OTT though. Hence dont make them think it's too good to be true, unless of course it is too good, and is true.

Survival is about survival.
