Applying for a job: resquesting info

Question

1) Suppose I'm not sure whether I'd fit in the job being advertised as the info given on what the task implies is not clear enough. How should I handle this in my application letter? Should I write a request for more info on the letter too? Are there any samples of "requesting information letters" (I don't actually knwo if that is the technical term).

2) Suppose also that they are specifically asking for a postition that is not exactly your study field but you know it has some points in common with your spertise (sp?), how would you handle that? Are there any samples of application letters conveying this situation?

Thanks.

Hi,

1) Suppose I'm not sure whether I'd fit in the job being advertised as the info given on what the task implies is not clear enough. How should I handle this in my application letter? Should I write a request for more info on the letter too? Are there any samples of "requesting information letters" (I don't actually knwo if that is the technical term). I suggest that the best approach is simply to apply for the job and then to try to obtain any information that you want in the course of an interview, if you get one. After all, you can always tell them later that you are no longer interested in the job.

2) Suppose also that they are specifically asking for a postition that is not exactly your study field but you know it has some points in common with your spertise (sp?), how would you handle that? Are there any samples of application letters conveying this situation? Just try to focus on the relevant parts of your expertise, in both your resume and your cover letter. It's a very normal situation. Just tell them why you think they should consider you for the job.

Best wishes, Clive
