Guest Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 Any thoughts on things to put into a letter of support on an application form. Someone said to have a punchy first few lines. Have never had to do one before having been appointed on completion of GTP at the school I was working in. Feeling very inadequate in one way and in another desperate to sell myself well as I'm sure I could do the job well! AOB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 Make sure you cover everything in the Job Spec. I usually get the job spec and write all over it, with examples of how I meet the criteria. My supporting statements are usually massive. Don't feel silly about selling yourself - that's what you have to do. My boyfriend read one for me years ago, and gave me a tip that I alway remember. I had frequently written things like "I think......" He said to be more convincing and put "I strongly believe......" or "This clearly demonstrates how I ...." Good luck with it all.

Guest Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 Thanks so much for those ideas Shelley. I have just edited out the 'I try to....' and made a more positive statement as a result. It's hard isn't it, when you read through the big PR push it sounds as though you are blowing your own trumpet so hard! Still there's no-one else to do it before an interview is there?! AOB oops PS How did you get on yesterday? Hope it all went well. AOB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
