Dear
all,
I
am applying for an event called “My first job
abroad” 2007. The event will offer 50 job positions around Europe.
One of the requests is a motivation letter. Can anyone please, take a
look at it and help me to get it better? It is as it follows:
The
event “My first job abroad” 2007 is an excellent opportunity to
carry out a project I have keeping in mind for a few years. To work
abroad is a challenge I want to embrace for long time. The
possibility of develop a professional experience and learn new ways
of living, new cultures, and new languages, isn't, to my mind, an
opportunity to miss.
Even
I have not participated in academic exchange programmes, as I am a
daughter of emigrants, I always was in touch with many European
countries. To be exposed to new cultures interests me and pleases me.
Beyond the obvious professional reasons, also social and cultural
reasons have promoted with regularity some trips. I have been,
without any specific order, in many European, such as: Spain, France,
England, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Denmark, Sweden, Norway,
Estonia, Latvia and Finland. Since from some years that an experience
of international work defines itself with stronger contours each day.
I
was focus on improve my curriculum through professional training and
increasing the experience onto my professional area. Learning and
improving my language skills was also a constant concern mainly
devoted to English and French. As I have been unemployed, I was some
periods in Finland and also in Norway. In both countries I
established professional contacts that had disclosed unfruitful due
to lack of domain of the local languages. Even though I have been
seduced by the Nordic countries. Therefore, the next issue will be to
learn a Nordic language. A chance in one of these countries had to
advocate this new step.
Since
from some months that I remain myself intent and I regularly visit
the site of the EURES expecting to find a chance. I established
contact with EURES's council members, both in Portugal and in
Finland.
Once
I appreciate challenges and I consider myself able and, as much as
capable, extremely motivated, this initiative will be an excellent
ground “to live” the experience. For the accomplishment of this
international chance, I believe to possess the essential adjectives:
professional, dynamic, autonomous, independent, social and dedicated.
I
wait with expectation the announcement of the results and I deeply
desire to reach the professional and cultural enrichment that this
initiative provides.
Thank
you very much for your help.
