Life is full of so many happenings. Like eating and sleeping is important, so is doing a job. The modern-day systems are designed to focus on jobs. Starting from our school years, we are trained to work one day. Even when choosing a career, we keep in mind that is the job we will end up doing someday.

Jobs have become so important these days that they have become a part of our everyday life. We cannot imagine a life without a job. Our job becomes our identity. How proud we feel telling someone if we are a doctor or an accountant and we want people to know us by our jobs.

Some people take jobs as jobs only, while others take it a lot more serious. For some people, a job is a toll to earn money but for others, it is about making a life-changing career.

Our college and universities teach us a lot. But, our real learning starts when we do a job. Jobs are not just working an eight-hour shift every day. It is about creating a difference every day, it is about meeting people and learning to work with them.

With the ever-changing world, the ways of job hunting have also changed. The most effective way of finding a job these days is by googling. Yes, you heard that right. You must create a network of people who are in good companies or know influential people in good companies. We all know that these days reference has taken a lot of importance in the employer’s eyes.

We know that various mediums can be used to find a job. We can find jobs in the newspaper or even the job portals available online. Once we have found the job of our dreams, we need to send the employer the necessary documents. What are these necessary documents? The most common documents we know are the CV and the employment seeking letter.

CVs/resume is common and we know what it is. But an employment seeking letter is a document which is not stressed upon.

Employment seeking letter is also known as the cover letter.

What do we write in an employment seeking letter? We mention all our academic details. A person writing the employment seeking letter might not be very experienced. We can mention all or any little work experience that we have.

Employment seeking letter is a summary of our resume. It helps the recruiter to read through the summary and if he finds any potential, then he will move to the resume.

Following are given few sample for your help.
