Dear Sir/Madam,
HR Consultant(no job reference?)
I am enclosing my resume in response to your advertisement on monster job search dated 14th Dec 2009.
I am currently undergoing my undergraduate studies at NUS in physics. In physics, students learn to grasp concepts quickly and to apply them to various problems. Physics has a few fundamental equations which can be used to derive many other equations. Hence this process trains my ability to analyse links between various topics and applying the necessary mathematical manipulations. Additionally, I am often require to be independent in my learning because of the fast paced lectures, fellow coursemates are either equally clueless or they do not have time to help me out all the time.
On top of my studies in school, I joined the Science Club Dinner and Dance(DND) commitee as the pageant manager. In this role, I was required to take charge of the welfare of my contestants as well as ensure the smooth running of training sessions as well as the event itself. This demonstrates my ability to work with people as well as the resourcefulness in solving problems to ensure that everything goes according to plan. I would like to emphasise that the bash organised by the DND commitee received favorable review on funkgrad.com. Also, I received a special mention award for my contributions outside the scope of my responsibilities. This emphasises my willingness to go beyond doing my fair bit.
I am interested in this job because I find that constantly strategising and developing new recruitment plans is something very challenging and also something quite different from what I am currently doing. Also, doing mass interviews is something I would enjoy doing because I like to speak and interact with people face to face. I am extremely interested in this job because it is engaging and challenging.
I can take either a full time or a part time job. Since I am still schooling, I do not mind an internship as well. Alternatively, I could take up unpaid work experience. I am really keen to work for your company and I hope you will look favorably at my application. I look forward to hearing from you.
Yours Sincerely,
Mr Jude Too
Soon Yee,
ReplyDeleteYou might want to change the heading to " position application letter" and the spacing and format of the letter.You copied from microsoft right? haha, just click " delete format" at blogger edit post.
haha thanks for the comment. I solved the problem at last haha.
ReplyDeleteHi Soon Yee!
ReplyDeleteI think the second paragraph could be more concise. Instead of writing
"In physics, students learn to grasp concepts quickly and to apply them to various problems. Physics has a few fundamental equations which can be used to derive many other equations. Hence this process trains my ability to analyse links....",
you can write "Since Physics is a subject which requires deriving equations and learning of concepts quickly, it trains my ability to analyse links..."
I think the main point will still be conveyed, in a simple manner. =) Besides, it will not sound as if you are telling the reader what Physics is all about.
I find your fourth paragraph very interesting and appealing because you highlighted your interest and passion for the job applied.
That's all from me. Hope it helps! Good luck!
Cheers,
Steph
