1. Inquiry Letter
Most jobs are not advertised in the press. Meaning that if you contact a company asking if they have any jobs and they happen to be recruiting at that time then you have a major advantage over other candidates.
A letter of inquiry is a excellent way of uncovering hidden jobs. Other advantages of writing these letters are:
You will make contact with and come to the notice of hiring managers and can build relationships with them.
Discover leads for possible new jobs in the near future.
Be kept on file by the company for any future vacancies.
Writing a letter of inquiry:
Give a brief statement of how you can benefit their company.
At the end of the letter request an opportunity for a phone call or meeting.
In case you are invited for a interview, always retain a copy of the letter you have sent. These can be useful to refer to.
Always end the letter on a high note.
Remember to follow up any correspondence with a respectful phone call to confirm they have received your letter of inquiry.

Dear Sirs,
We regret to have to cormplain about late delivery of the
filing cabinets ordered on 2nd April 2010 We did not receive
them until this morning though you had guaranteed delivery within
a week. It was on this undirstanding that we placed the other.
unfortunately, there have been similar delays on several previous
occasions and their increasing frequency in recent months compels
us to say that business between us cannot be continued in
conditions such as these.
We have felt it is necessary to make our feelings khown
Since we cannot give reliable delivery dates to our customers
unless we count on undertaking given by our suppliers We hope
you will understand how we are placed that from now on we can
rely upon punctual completion of our orders.
Yours faithfully,

5. Memo
Engineering Physics
University of Wisconsin September 23, 1997
To: From: Subject:
Professor Michael Alley Cindy Reese CTR
Request to Research How Credit Was Awarded for the Discovery of Nuclear Fission
For my EPD 397 project, please grant me permission to study the way in which credit has been awarded for the discovery of nuclear fission. Although Otto Hahn received the 1946 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for the discovery, several people assert that Lise Meitner and Fritz Strassman should have also received credit. In my research, I will attempt to discern how credit should have been bestowed.
This topic meets the criteria for a successful topic in this course. First, I am interested in the topic. As a nuclear engineering student, I realize that the discovery of nuclear fission was perhaps the single most important discovery this century in my field. As a woman scientist, I am also deeply interested in the successes and challenges faced by other women scientists. A second way in which this topic meets the criteria is that it can be quickly researched. A computer search in the library has revealed many sources available on this topic. Attached to this memo is a summary of one such source, Lise Meitner: A Life in Physics by Ruth Sime.
This topic also meets the third criterion for a successful topic in this course, namely, that it be technical. The fission of a uranium nuclear involves an understanding of both chemistry and physics principles. By focussing on this single discovery, I believe that I can achieve the fourth crierion for a successful topic: the achievement of depth. Finally, because the library system at the University of Wisconsin offers such a wide array of possible sources, including papers in German, and because many of these sources have been written for audiences more technical than my intended audience, I believe that I can create a project that is unique.
If you have any suggestions for modifying this topic, please let me know. With your permission, I will continue researching.
Attachment.
