Do you want to get replies to your letters of application? Well, if you are like me, I guess you do.

Just take the following steps.

1. State clearly where and when you saw the vacancy. If it is a published opening, mention the name of the publication and date.

2. List your specific skills e.g, let's say you are web designer, then list your skills as follows:

*Can set up new sites using dreamweaver or Frontpage

* Can layout new webpages from scratch

* Can use templates and design new templates

* Can batch process images

* Can program dynamic sites using PHP, AJAX and ASP, and so on.

You get the idea. Just make sure these are skills the job you are applying for needs.

I sent 15 apps using this method, and I got a reply to 13 of them!

Well, your own result may not be be this high but you are sure to get more responses.

Note that you should put this in the letter of application, not the CV plss.

Try it!
