Usage Note
Demande is a false friend for English speakers: it usually means a polite request, not an aggressive demand (for which French uses exigence). Une demande d'emploi is a job application, and la demande in economics means demand (market demand). The verb demander means to ask for or request.
Examples
"Il a fait une demande de congé."
Natural Translation
He made a leave request.
