Dear Mr Lim,
I heard of this job vacancy for the post of executive for the Life Sciences Undergraduate program through the website at the DBS recruitment website, which caught my attention.
I think that I would be suitable for this job as having graduated from NUS with a Life Sciences major, I would have gone through the undergraduate Life Sciences system. I have some degree of experience with administrative and management tasks as I have performed them(such as writer recruitment and coordinating to publish a student journal) for my CCA. My qualifications and my experience are detailed in my CV which is enclosed here.
I would like very much to meet with you to discuss my prospective employment. If you wish to arrange an interview, please contact me at the above address or by phone at 93559549 or by email at siasinwei1988@hotmail.com
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely yours,
Sia Sin Wei
hello sinwei, first of all thanks for your comment. As usual i've got nothing to comment about your command of English language. However, I think that there are several other areas that you can improve on.
ReplyDelete1. i thought you could have made your personal contacts and name more obvious, for example bolding them or put them in the header
2. maybe you could have elaborate more about how you can satisfy all the following needs and requirements: "excellent communication skills, apititude for administrative and management jobs, and the ability to work with faculty members, fellow administrators and students, all from diverse backgrounds."
3. where did you upload your resume? hard to comment further without referencing your application letter with your resume
yup tts all:)
