Quick question about handwriting when sending applications away.

[celticbhoy]

Hey folks.
I am sending letters away to many plumbing companies asking about any apprenticeships that may be available.
However, my handwriting is not the best and i am worried that when writing on the envelope it may put them off? As it is their first impression of me.
I have tried using a printer but had no luck.
My handwriting is really bad, should i be worrying? And if so then what do you recommend?
Thanks i just want to make sure everything is perfect before i send them away.

Anybody? Need to send these out today.
Does it matter if my handwriting is not the best?
Please reply

Just sent some away there, with my own handwriting on the envelope.
But i will go to the post office with the next bunch that i send. Thanks 😉

just write it yourself, worrying about the wording on the envolope is going too far

I was told on a CV writing course using a caligraphy pen can help smarten up your writing, bought a pen haven't done any practice yet though.

Don't know if they use the pen all the time or just to tidy up their writing and then use a normal pen at all other times.

Best of luck.

Hi celticbhoy sometimes it helps if you place a straight edge like a ruler on to the envelope and write your letters down to this line practice on some scrap paper first but dont worry to much good luck🙂regards turnpin

Think ill have a wee practise with the ruler see if it looks any better haha.
Just want it to look as good as it can 😎
