INTRODUCTION
I.T proposal letter is a one-page document that highlights your qualifications and often
accompanies your resume when you apply for jobs. In this article, we discuss everything you
need to know about creating a winning proposal letter, including an outline and examples for you
to follow.

WHAT IS I.T PROPOSAL LETTER


A proposal letter for industrial training placement is a formal letter written by a university
student to a company or organization, requesting an opportunity to undergo training. The letter
should highlight the student’s academic background, relevant skills, and career aspirations. It is
important to convey enthusiasm and professionalism to make a strong impression on the
potential employer. While some employers require a proposal letter to apply, others make it
optional. As an undergraduate searching for I.T placement, it is best to also prepare your
proposal letter alongside other documents. Although, the school already provided you with a
placement request letter that could serve as your proposal letter, but, the drawback is that the
placement request letter provided by your school isn’t personified and doesn’t highlight any
information about you or your skills and qualifications. Nevertheless, it’s very much important
for verification purpose, and to proof that you are actually a student of that school eligible for
I.T. some companies you would apply for might want to have a brief personal details about you,
your skills, qualifications, work experience and values, especially those companies that pays I.T
students. So, make sure it’s always available at request. Your proposal letter shouldn’t be
elaborate but brief, as the company wouldn’t be expecting so much from an I.T student. Your
proposal letter will give you an edge to qualify for payment by the company and also to enable
them know the specific department or role you would be involved in.

PROPOSAL LETTER OUTLINE


Here is an outline of an I.T proposal letter, section by section, so you can see how to write an I.T
proposal letter yourself.

DATE AND CONTACT INFORMATION


There are two ways to list contact information on your I.T proposal letter, depending on whether
you’re providing a digital or hard copy.
If you’re submitting a digital copy online, include your city and state, phone number and email:
Date
Your name
City, state
Phone number
Email address
Although it’s becoming less common, there may be a time when you’re required to submit a
paper copy of your I.T proposal letter. In this case, the top side of your letter should include the
following:
Date
Your name
Your address
Your city, state, ZIP
code
Your phone number
Your email address
Hiring manager’s name
Company name
Company address
Company city, state, ZIP code

SALUTATION / GREETING
Start your I.T proposal letter by addressing the hiring manager. If you can, find out the name of
the hiring manager. Reread the job description to see if it’s listed there or check the company
website. Do not use “Mr.,” ”Mrs.” or “Ms.,” and instead use the hiring manager’s first and last
name.
If you can’t find the hiring manager’s name, stick with “Dear Hiring Manager.” Avoid outdated
greetings, such as “Dear Sir/Madam” or “To Whom It May Concern.”
OPENING PARAGRAPH
The opening paragraph is your chance to catch the hiring manager’s attention, introduce
yourself and express your enthusiasm to a potential employer. Include why you’re excited about
the job and the company and how it lines up with your career goals. Include keywords from the
job posting and match your skills to the employer’s requirements.

If you were referred to the place by someone who knows the hiring manager or already works at
this company, you may want to mention this referral in your opening paragraph.

MIDDLE PARAGRAPHS
Use the middle paragraph to discuss your most relevant experience, highlighting specific
qualifications and skills that make you the perfect candidate. In one or two paragraphs, make the
connection between your previous accomplishments and your suitability for the role you are
applying for. Think of these paragraphs as a way to pitch yourself as the ideal match for the role.

CLOSING PARAGRAPH
Use the final paragraph to thank the employer for their time and consideration and clarify any
details from your resume. For example, if you have employment gaps because you were caring
for a sick loved one, you can briefly mention this here. You can also use this space to sum up
your qualifications for the role and express an interest in continuing to the next stage in the
hiring process.

COMPLIMENTARY CLOSE AND SIGNATURE


Choose a complimentary closing that is friendly yet formal, followed by your first and last name.
Closings you might consider include:
Sincerely
Regards
Best
Respectfully
Thank you

Thank you for your consideration


Avoid closings like “Cheers,” ”Warm Regards” or “Yours Truly” as these may be considered too
casual or affectionate.
If you’re providing a hard copy of your cover letter, handwrite your signature and also include
your full typed name.
