How do I write a professional letter of interest to a sorority?

We Answered:

First tell them about yourself what your career goals are and why you want to join the soroity, if you have done community services.. I am looking to pledge myself I have been away from school for 8 years. I am 28 and i can't wait to pledge. your paper should be about 2 pages.

Donna Said:

How do I write a letter of interest for a job that hasn't been advertised, but that I know will be needed?

We Answered:

You should write your letter explaining your observations that this position would perfectly fit your experience and your objectives. You don't need to say you know it will be open, just that if it ever is, you would like to be a candidate, and yes, submit your resume as well. The key, though, isn't the resume as much as a carefully worded letter explaining why you want the position.
Good Luck

Dear Coach Trudell :


My name is Audrey Hickman, and I am currently a high school sophomore. I have recently started researching colleges to further my education and the opportunity to take my skills to the collegiate level. I am very interested in Ripon College Women’s Soccer program. I am writing to introduce myself and express my interest in the program. I have enclosed an outline of my personal, academic and soccer information.


For my first two years of varsity soccer, as goalkeeper, I have received many honors including All-District 2nd team and MVP for my high school. I look forward to seeing what my Junior and Senior years as my expectations are high.


I have a profile on berecruited.com: http://profiles.berecruited.com/athletes/460246 . You will find my upcoming events, camps, and tournaments that I will be attending over the course of the year.


I am very interested about playing soccer at Ripon College. It is one of my top choices. I hope to hear from you soon to discuss how I could be an asset to your team.


Yours in Goal,


Audrey Hickman

Victor Said:

How do you write a letter of interest to get in to graduate school?

We Answered:

I can't offer you any examples (that would be a violation of policy and ethics), but I can tell you what you should include.

Who am I (education, experience, awards, skills, distinctions, etc.)?
Why am I interested in this field of study?
Why am I particularly qualified for graduate study in this area? How have I prepared for study in this field?
Why am I interested in this particular program?
What is my potential specific area of interest? Why?
What are my interests or influences in terms of theory?
What are my long-term goals?

And for goodness sake, PROOFREAD for grammar and spelling errors!

If there are any blemishes on your undergraduate transcript, or gaps in your preparation, explain them.

Also, it's always a good practice to show familiarity with current literature in the field, *especially* if you are not submitting a current writing sample.

One other piece of advice: Tailor each statement of intent for each program. Speak with your current professors before you apply, and ask about the strengths of various programs. You should already know which scholars are of greatest interest to you as mentors, but it is always wise to ask current professors if they know these scholars. (You may learn that Professor XX, while brilliant, is a lousy mentor for grad students.)

Discuss It!
