&lt;P&gt;Muchas gracias.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;EM&gt;Dear Sir/Madam&lt;/EM&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;EM&gt;In response to the advertised position in wwwgumtree.co.uk &lt;/EM&gt;&lt;EM&gt;on January 16&lt;SUP&gt;th&lt;/SUP&gt;, please consider my CV in your search for waiting Staff. This is an ideal job for me given my enthusiasm for &lt;/EM&gt;&lt;EM&gt;working, my related experience and qualifications.&lt;/EM&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;EM&gt;I worked as a waitress in a CafÃ© and I know the importance of providing&amp;nbsp; good service for the customers. With regard to your requirements, I am convinced I meet all of them. I am able to carrying out several different tasks simultaneously while being friendly, patient and charming. I am good at team work and can also work under pressure. &lt;/EM&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;EM&gt;I am a highly motivated person, very hard working and organized, always willing to undertake new challenges. With my sociable personality and the skills gained with my previous experience, I believe that I would be able to make an important contribution to your company's team.&lt;/EM&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;EM&gt;I believe when a waiter or waitress is good, the customers eat happily, and they come back for more. When a waiter or waitress is bad, most likely they will never set foot into that particular restaurant again.&lt;/EM&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;EM&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/EM&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;EM&gt;Therefore, based upon the aforementioned, I would be thrilled to accept this position. I am available for interview at anytime convenient for your company.&lt;/EM&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;EM&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/EM&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;EM&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/EM&gt;&lt;/P&gt;

I will appreciate any suggestions and comments to improve it. Thanks in advance!&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;*************************************************&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Dear Sir or Madam,&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;I would like to apply for a position of&amp;nbsp;Project Manager&amp;nbsp;/ Multimedia Developer&amp;nbsp;(reference no. 00000) as advertised on XYZâs on-line vacancy bulletin.&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P class=Default&gt;I first became interested in multimedia development and web-based applications twelve years ago. Since 2001, I am working as a project manager and developer in a leading internet agency in my country. As of March 2004, I am in charge for communication, management and execution of all online activities of&amp;nbsp;ABC_CORPORATION in COUNTRY_NAME. The list of my responsibilities includes communication with the HQ office and local companies, website design, content development and update, adaptation of various online/ offline campaigns and presentations, research and invention of new channels for communication with target audience. During my practice I have developed a vast range of skills, for example: analysing complex numerical and verbal information, clear, concise writing for different contexts, working enthusiastically and productively under pressure, dealing professionally with a wide range of people, working in a variety of teams and on my own initiative, overcoming obstacles. I am comfortable in sourcing and handling data electronically. Making movies like the Flash presentation I've attached as a sample of my work is such an enjoyable experience, because I know how to turn content requirements into a multimedia concept by selecting the most appropriate choice of multimedia. I have a knack of the latest technologies which help me to evaluate rapidly project essentials, determine terms and deadlines, execute in full the project. &lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;As you can see on my CV I lead a busy life through my daily responsibilities and various business activities, which has meant that I have very quickly learnt the importance of time management. I have always handed my work in on time and never missed a deadline. My communication skills have greatly developed through my work experience with ABC_CORPORATION and its markets in Central and Eastern Europe. &lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT color=#000000&gt;For the period of my management and fulfillment of the ABC_CORPORATION on-line activities&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;FONT color=#000000&gt;, the ABC_CORPORATION&lt;/FONT&gt; recognizes COUNTRY_NAME as the fastest growing market in terms of Internet presence. My dedication to work and pursuit for perfection convinced ABC_CORPORATION to choose COUNTRY_NAME as a pilot market for several web-based projects and desktop applications. As of 2007 I am the person responsible for terms negotiation, concept development, execution and language adaptation of ABC_CORPORATION websites in COUNTRY_1, COUNTRY_2, COUNTRY_3, and&amp;nbsp;COUNTRY_4.&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;XYZ&amp;nbsp;position as a leading organization attracts me and I feel&amp;nbsp;XYZ offers the opportunity to work with the type of people and projects that I am seeking. I feel I perform to a high standard and have a range of relevant skills that I can bring to XYZ. &lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;I would be very keen to find out more about&amp;nbsp;XYZ aims and would welcome the opportunity to discuss my application further at an interview. I hope you will consider my application favourably and I look forward to hearing from you.&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Yours faithfully,&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I am currently job hunting and found a few interesting companies that I would like to apply to. I am not very confident with my CV though. Would you please be so kind to check it for me? I am very much open to constructive criticism and would greatly appreciate it. &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;My address&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Date&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Name and proper title of the person receiving the letter&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Dear Sir/Madam:&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;From your companyâs website, I found your company to be the one that I am looking for that will help me improve my professional as well as my personal skills. With my background in nutrition and dietetics, I am very interested to apply as a Junior Researcher or any health related position in your company.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Having been involved in two national dietary surveys, first as a household dietary researcher in the Philippines and as a designer and assistant in pilot testing of survey questionnaire in Norway gave me a practical experience in formulating survey questions, data gathering and analysis. Nothing brings me much pleasure than in finding answers for my research questions.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I also have enough exposure to clinical nutrition and in fact, it is one of my special interest, because I have worked as a dietitian for one and a half year. These work experience of mine has developed me to be a team player, accurate, patient, systematic and result-oriented worker.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Now that Iâve finished my Masters in Nutrition and Health specializing in Dietary Behavior and Disease Prevention, I am eager to consider new challenges. I would like to put into practice what Iâve learned and to gain more knowledge through research. &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;You will find my resume enclosed. I would be happy to answer any initial questions you may have, and to hear about your hiring process. Thank you for your attention to these materials. I certainly look forward to exploring this further.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Yours faithfully,&lt;/P&gt;

My name is ina, and I am almost new in this forum. I wrote first in 2004 and&amp;nbsp;I was very surprised and happy to receive so&amp;nbsp;quicly the help I needed. Now I have wtitten already two times for the last three days and I have not received even a simple answer. I do not understand. I saw that there are many ather people who have not received the help thy asked for in this forum, and still others who got more than five replys. I really need somebody to read and tell me my mistakes or to give me some ideas so I can improve my letter. This should be a short application letter, because afterwards I have to add two pages of explanation&amp;nbsp;on my motivation. I really hope that there is somebofdy to help and I thank him/her a lot!&lt;/P&gt;


&lt;P&gt;Dear Sirs,&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I am exciting to be applying for the Master program â¦.. and joining Your academic team.&amp;nbsp; I have first heard about this program from a college and friend of mine, â¦â¦, who is now completing it. I have got interested and informed myself further from Your Internet site. &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I am very enthusiastic about the opportunity which Your program gives to young specialists from different fields to join, learn, and work together for the solving of Economical, Social and Ecological problems. I especially like the international background of this study, the practical training, the team work, and the great variety of areas in which I can in future apply the combined knowledge of science, technology and resource management. &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;During my years of study in Bulgaria, USA, and Germany I have showed myself as a motivated and curious person who can easily adapt to any situation. I thrive on overcoming challenges. I enjoy learning from others and helping others where I can.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;I am excited by the opportunity to join an academic group where I can apply my skills, talents, and enthusiasm. &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;/P&gt;

The CV is a bit 'blah' just not very interesting - there is nothing here to make you stand out. Instead of just listing duties try to think about the qualities an employer wants and how you can prove that you have them. Think about selling your abilities. Advertising/marketing is very difficult to get into with a great deal of competition for entry level jobs - you have to make your CV sit up and bite them so it stands out from the other hundreds they will receive. Make sure you tailor it more for advertising. At the moment your only mention of advertising is a couple of words under interests. It needs to shine through as your future career. Talk about your career intentions - why advertising, what can you offer an advertising company. How can your photography and design experience help? Make the most of any work or college experience that is relevant to advertising and minimise any detail about the rest.&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P class=MsoSubtitle&gt;2002-present&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Working as an amateur photographer. - you can't work as an amateur. Why not say working as a freelance photographer or 'building my portolio'&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;Dear Sir or Madam,&lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;BR&gt;I enclose my curriculum vitae in response to your advertisement in jobs.pl, ref. 1-12-4321. I would like to apply for the position &lt;STRONG&gt;of &lt;/STRONG&gt;advertising assistant&amp;nbsp;&lt;STRONG&gt;at&lt;/STRONG&gt; your company. &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;If your company &lt;STRONG&gt;would&lt;/STRONG&gt; benefit from an enthusiastic person, with more than one year of &lt;STRONG&gt;experience&lt;/STRONG&gt; in accounting,&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;manage staff problems and understanding company structures. If so, we should talk. - I don't think any of those are that important to advertising assistant positions.&amp;nbsp;You should be concentrating on your creative skills. Your financial skills are an added extra that could help you stand out - but you still need to prove that you have all the essential 'advertising' skills. Have another go at this letter, I've started making some corrections so you can see where your language problems are, but I don't think it'll get very far as it is. You just aren't applying for an 'advertising' job here.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;The position interests me for several reasons. I have been interested in advertising since the beginning of my studies and would like to work in this field in future. While working on my bachelor of Administration (bachelor title: âPhotography in advertisingâ), I gained a valuable knowledge of &lt;STRONG&gt;the&lt;/STRONG&gt; technical and law&amp;nbsp;&lt;STRONG&gt;aspect&lt;/STRONG&gt;s of &lt;STRONG&gt;advertising&lt;/STRONG&gt;, &lt;STRONG&gt;and also&lt;/STRONG&gt; &lt;STRIKE&gt;during studies&lt;/STRIKE&gt; &lt;STRIKE&gt;I managed&lt;/STRIKE&gt; to finish&lt;STRONG&gt;ed&lt;/STRONG&gt; Photographic Academy. &lt;STRONG&gt;Currently&lt;/STRONG&gt; I am studying International Business Economics issued by the University of Wales in Warsaw.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I have &lt;STRONG&gt;one year's&lt;/STRONG&gt; experience in the finance of the companies Resorts Casino and &lt;STRIKE&gt;London&lt;/STRIKE&gt; Tesco, where I had a chance to put into practice the knowledge I learned at university. As an accountant I was responsible for keeping accounting records correct and on time, &lt;STRONG&gt;analyzing&lt;/STRONG&gt; financial statements, produc&lt;STRONG&gt;ing&lt;/STRONG&gt; reports and input data on a computer system, so I became familiar with using any kind of Software. I also posted to a general ledger and generated monthly reports.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;My knowledge and my skills however are not limited only to accounting area. I have proven ability to manage international training in management and organization skills. &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I easily learn new things and I am open to new challenges. I am precise, dependable, hardworking and full of good attitude person, which in my opinion is very important in advertising. I enjoy working pressed for time. I am good at handling stress situations, where one has to act quickly and calmly. I am a creative, articulate person who finds it easy to communicate with others. I can work efficiently both in a team and individually. &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I am strongly convinced that my background is in perfect line with you current needs and that I can apply my knowledge and skills to the position. My enclosed CV provides additional details about my background. Thank you for your consideration.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I look forward to hearing from you.&lt;/P&gt;Yours faithfully</description></item></channel></rss>
