Dear …………,
With the utmost enthusiasm I would like to put my name forward for your position of Immigration Officer, which I saw advertised on the …………… website.
I come to you as someone who not only has an extensive knowledge of current immigration laws and policies, but also a proven ability to enforce them.
What really sets me apart from other contenders for this job is my ability to make decisions on immigration cases based on legal requirements and policies. This combined with a deep understanding of eligibility requirements to enter the country, makes me a perfect candidate for your vacancy.
I come to you as someone who can make sure that people who arrive from abroad obey the rules for living and working in this country. Additionally, I’m from a team player background and possess extensive experience of working on joint operations with police and Border Force officials.
I would also like to mention my track record of managing and maintaining immigration caseloads in accordance with departmental policy and procedures.
As per your requirements I can board aircraft and ships to search for undeclared or illegal imports, such as alcohol, tobacco, firearms and drugs. Furthermore, you can rely on me to ensure the accurate and timely completion of all immigration-related tasks.
At the moment I am employed by ……………… where I make informed decisions on who is allowed to visit or stay in the UK. As part of my duties, I check on people returning home from travels, reuniting with family, coming for a holiday, pursuing a work opportunity or seeking refuge. I have been commended by my senior managers for coming up with recommendations for improvements to the immigration system.
As an emotionally strong person I am not afraid to refuse entry to the UK when appropriate and required. This is something I do in a tactful and diplomatic manner.
Through my career I have learnt how to visit and interview people who are suspected of not having the right to remain in the UK. This is a trait that really helps when disrupting the organised criminal groups that exploit the vulnerable for their personal gain. After over 3 years of working in this field, I have learnt about counter terrorism, tackling organised crime, modern slavery and human trafficking.
Aside from the above, I have an enquiring mind and possess the communications skills needed to build strong bonds with colleagues, so that we can support each other and solve problems together.
Right now, I would like to join an organisation that has an exciting, dynamic, and fast paced environment where I will face new challenges every day.
I invite you to review my attached CV which will show you that I am a capable and professional individual who is able to perform to the highest standards in all the areas you seek in a candidate. If you see potential in my application, then please do not hesitate to invite me to an interview.
Yours sincerely,
