I need to write a letter of intention for a new position which I am applying for. I have never been asked to write one before and all of the online templates won't even allow you to look at it without paying a hefty fee. I am looking to see what details to include.

What is a Letter of Intent?

A letter of intent is a very brief letter to a training director expressing your interest in their practicum placement
The letter should contain:
Something brief about you (especially any unique characteristics about you)
Your experiences - concisely summarized
What the program will offer you (relevant to your goals)
What you might offer their program

All this in 2-3 paragraphs!
Think carefully about each program that you are applying to
Why this placement?
The population you’d work with?
Particular psychopathology
Age, diversity, etc?
Didactics of interest?
The therapeutic orientation?
The quality of the supervision?

The Letter of Intent
Remember your reader reads dozens of these
This is probably an ‘extra’ part of their job
Wants you to excite them about you
Good writing requires good editing
Do not write a lengthy letter
Editing does NOT include:
Changing the font size, margin or spacing (12pt TNR!)
If it is ‘a little long,’ something needs to be cut

Important Things to Know About Good Letters of Intent

Balance is the key to good letters
Excitement but professionalism
Be specific: vagueness kills
Highlight what is unique about you (if you are unsure – ask your supervisor)
Be ‘humbly boastful’ (don’t minimize or overstate experiences)
Excitement … not hyperbole. In the end these placements are often with tough populations; your readers know this

I by no capacity had to jot down a letter for my aim of coming lower back to artwork. Your HR will fill out workplace work on your depart ( i gave them my predicted return date) and FMLA protects your activity so that's going to be there once you come back.
