Letter of Intent for a Teacher Aide Position

Updated on: May 3, 2019

Letters of intent are written in different ways, depending on the situation that they are being written for.

For instance, a letter of intent for a property deal will include legal jargon, a subject matter, and probably many bullet points, outlining the terms and conditions of the deal.

 

A teaching aide letter of intent is also written to apply for a job. In such a case, it is used as a cover letter that has not been advertised publicly.

So basically, a letter of intent (or letter of interest as it is sometimes called) is an applicant’s way of finding out if a possible opportunity can arise within an organization.

The content of a letter of intent, in this case, is not much different from that of a standard teacher aide cover letter. In most standard cover letters, you mention where you heard about the open position – job advertisements, online job portals, and referrals are common avenues.

In a letter of intent, there is no source for this information, so you are basically hitting an arrow in the dark.

What is the efficacy of looking for a job like this? It is a brilliant idea to write a letter of intent!

The company might not want to advertise an opening publically but may still need to hire someone. And you can hit that jackpot!

Here is a sample letter of intent for a teacher aide position:
