Cover Letter For Managing Director Jobs: An Example To Use
What I'm showing you here is a Managing Director jobs application letter example which is written in a direct and confident style and aims to stimulate interest and action from the reader, who will most probably be the Executive Search consultant or even the company Chairman.
In most cases at this senior or executive level, the person reviewing your director's cover letter will themselves be a senior executive and will understand the language you use.
To find good sources of appropriate executive jobs, use the MD Jobs links below to help you find the right level of jobs you're looking for.
The Group MD, Chairman, CEO or other executive who eventually reads your application cover letter will appreciate brevity and succinctness rather than a long self-justifying letter that lacks real substance, so keep it short and to the point; don't waste words or anybody's time. Your MD CV should also be tightly focused, see example MD CV.
This is a good example of the style of application letter to adopt:
