Hello all,

I really appreciate if somenone would help me correcting my letter for a job application. Thank you very much.

Dear Sir(s),

I am writing to apply for the position of Supply Manager as I find the position interesting and appropriate to my ambitions.

I appreciate challenges and I consider myself able and extremely motivated. I am a results-orientated marketer with proven success in the planning and delivery of effective marketing strategies and activities. My strong professional background is a result of eight years work experience, both as an employee and as a free-lancer consultant. As free-lancer I worked with companies from a wide scope of activity sectors. Hence, I had amplified considerably my experience and empower my professional vision. I believe to possess the essential adjectives towards success: professional, dynamic, autonomous, social and dedicated. I have excellent organisational and technical skills and I truly believe in teamwork. I easily adapt to new environments and I am proud of my flexibility and easiness to learn despite being a woman of strong moral and firm principles.

I would be grateful if you would consider my application. I am available for an interview any weekday to better expose my arguments. I look forward to hearing from you.


Best Regards,

JP

Hello, JP.

It is very well-written grammatically, but also very boring-- it uses all the cliches and stock phrases that cover letters are prey to.  All the self-praise will count for nothing with the potential employer until an interview is held.  I would suggest that, while keeping it brief, you eliminate the self-description and supply instead more details about why the company/position interests you and what specific experiences in your background most make your abilities appropriate to what is needed.

Hello,

Thank you very much for your suggestions. As you pointed it seems to me that you are right about the cliches. I will consider that and re-write it.

Kind regards,

JP
