How do I write to the council concerning a job?


Question Posted Wednesday July 23 2008, 6:23 am

Hello, I'm from the UK and have finished 2 years of Construction at college, I got my results yesterday which were excellent! I have been told to write to the council to find a job with them however I don't know what to write exactly. My college course consisted of around 15 constructional subjects so there is a wide variety of jobs for me to go into, however I favour the position of Building Surveying. Thanks in advance

Firstly, I suggest that you do a little research into which council you want to work for. Then establish which department would be suitable to write to. Finally, find out the name of the head of that department and write to them directly.

The letter should go along the lines of who you are and what qualifications you have. Then a little background information into what it is you want to do and ask for their advice as to where you go from there.

Alternatively, go back to the college you studied at and ask them if they have a system in place which would help you look for a job.

Make sure you have a CV ready for printing that includes your previous jobs, qualifications and aspirations. The best way to do this is to follow a CV written out by someone else. You can get CV writers in the UK but they will cost you money.

I hope that it all works out well for you. Good luck.
