Re: Application for market researcher job I am writing to apply for the job of market researcher, as advertised in Jobsnews on 5 January. I have a bachelor’s degree in business studies and I have worked in an advertising agency for two years. I speak Spanish as my first language and I am proficient in French and English. I would like to have the job of market researcher because it is the most important job in any business. If we make products and services but we don’t understand who will buy them, our work is useless. I enjoy meeting people and I am a good listener, too. This is the perfect combination for talking with customers in the marketplace and learning about their likes and dislikes. I look forward to hearing from you. Yours faithfully, Speaking ( 10 marks) See Examiner’s guidelines.
