What is an expression of interest letter?

An expression of interest letter is a type of cover letter that’s used by applicants to show their interest in a job or aspiration to work for a company. It’s usually the first step in the job application process, and can be sent as a response to a job advertisement or just to let a company know you’re keen to work with them.

An expression of interest letter is typically quite general, focusing on the abilities, skills and qualities that make you the ideal candidate for the role, and highlighting the value you could bring to the position. As is the case with a cover letter, you can send a letter of interest for a job as a supplement to a CV.

Here’s an example of how to write an expression of interest letter for an internal job.

Dear Rachel,

I’m writing to apply for the position of account manager that’s currently available. I’ve worked within the company for almost five years now, and I believe I would be a great fit for the role.

During my time here as a client services representative, I’ve liaised and consulted with key clients and built excellent relationships with them – I now think it’s time for a step up that allows me to work on my own client accounts.

My current role, along with the extra leadership and communications qualifications I’ve achieved, has provided me with the skills I need to perform this role to a high standard. When I saw that you were looking for an account manager for the company, I immediately discussed the opportunity with Alex Mckenzie, my line manager.

He agreed that it would be an excellent opportunity for me and believes that I will excel in this role. We’re both confident that I will help the company achieve its goals for the future. I’ve attached a referral letter from Alex, along with my CV.

Thank you for considering my application, and I look forward to discussing the role further with you at your convenience.

Best Regards,

Amanda Riley
