Job Ads: Examples and Response Templates

Example 1

Subject: Your ad ref. [RefAnnonce]
Your ad caught my attention, why?
Your ad in today's Dépêche du Midi for the position of Luxury Travel Tele-counselor caught my attention because I immediately identified with it.

I understood what you want: your requirements / my background
At 22, with a BTS in Tourism, I had the chance to work one day a week for the ANYLONG Travel Agency during my two years of study. I gained a great ability to listen and advise by phone, as well as mastering computer reservation techniques on Erasmus and Resa2000. This first experience gave me a taste for the challenge of selling travel by phone.

Other information to convince
I complete the above approach by addressing other points mentioned in the ad, (market knowledge, motivations, etc.).
Furthermore, my three-month end-of-studies internship as an assistant-receptionist at the Hôtel de l'Opéra (4 stars) allowed me to adapt to the needs of a high-end clientele.

Let's meet + polite closing
Motivated, autonomous and wishing to join a dynamic team like yours, I hope to meet you very soon.
In this spirit, please accept, Sir, the expression of my distinguished sentiments.

Example 2

Subject: Your ad ref. [RefAnnonce]

Introduction
Your ad caught my attention because I meet the job requirements.
After carefully reading your ad on Monster, I immediately wanted to respond for three essential reasons:

Development
I prove with 2-3 examples of successful achievements that I meet the job requirements. First of all, my application is based on ten years of experience in management control within SMEs also specializing in luxury ready-to-wear. My background has allowed me to acquire solid expertise in analyzing balance sheet items and implementing actions truly adapted to budget achievement.
Next, my solid knowledge of your sector has allowed me to detect areas for savings without disrupting the company's rhythm.
Finally, my professional objective is to evolve within a headquarters management team to be a source of proposals for new strategic orientations of the management control function.

Conclusion
Let's meet + polite closing.
I remain available for any further information and to discuss my background and motivations in person during a future interview.
Please accept, Madam, the assurance of my distinguished consideration.
