Example

Subject: Application for the adult trainer position

Dear Mr Gendre,

Your institution is looking for a trainer for its employment programmes. I have taught job-search courses for five years and want to join a team that supports participants all the way to a job.

With a federal certificate as an adult trainer, I work at Tremplin Formation, running groups of twelve jobseekers referred by the regional employment offices. I help them build their application, prepare for interviews and target employers. Six months after the course, 58% are back in work.

Your close ties with local employers and your individual follow-up match the way I work.

I am available from 1 February and would be glad to meet you.

Kind regards,
Isabelle Pidoux
