Dear Mr Jacobs
I am writing to apply for the position of Sales Adviser for the North East Region which was advertised in the Herald International yesterday.
Although I am currently working in the Marketing Department of a large multinational, I would appreciate the opportunity to work for a rapidly expanding young company such as yours.
As you can see from my enclosed CV, I obtained an honours degree in Sales and Marketing from Nottingham University in 1994. I thoroughly enjoyed the six months I spent working in Sales at Boots plc as part of the course. During this time I gained invaluable insights into the nature of sales. After leaving university I initially spent time working for a small local firm before finding my current job and I feel that I am more suited to the dynamics and varied demands of a smaller firm.
Not only has my work experience familiarised me with the challenges faced by the industry today but, having been brought up in the north east, I know the region, its problems and its undoubted potential. As a result, I feel that I would be able to relate to your customers on both a professional and a personal level.
I am available for interview from 15 September and would be pleased to discuss my CV with you in more detail then.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Yours sincerely

Companies should retain the talented staff by various means including regular training. Therefore, there should be some measures to evaluate the effectiveness of training programmes to satisfy staff’s real needs and motivate them.
First, companies can organise formal ways of evaluation.
Second, regular dialogues should be held to know their progress and their complaints.
That’s the ways of evaluation of training programmes.
