Answer to Question 1

Answer: D
Explanation: D) Make sure your application letter is not highly focused on your own wants and needs in your job search. The opening paragraph of your application letter needs to convey the reason you're writing and give the recipient a compelling reason to keep reading. Try to anticipate your potential employer's needs.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: C
Explanation: C) You are trying to persuade the person reading your application to take you to the next step in the hiring process, so use the AIDA approach: get the reader's attention, build interest, increase desire, and motivate them to action.
