Re: Please help me with my motivatin letter

Mister Micawber — Wed, 12 Dec 2007 13:19:34 GMT

I have corrected what you have posted. I feel that your letter needs one more paragraph (in the position marked 'P' below) to provide more specific detail of why this MA is important for you and why the Leiden MA is specifically appropriate to your needs.

Dear Sir or Madam,

I am writing to you in connection with your Master's [?Please check Leiden's website] Program in International Relations and Diplomacy starting 2008, for which I would like to apply.

I graduated with a bachelor's degree in International Relations in 2005 from Padjadjaran University, Bandung, Indonesia. Since my goal is to become a diplomat and to deal with issues associated with international relations, I intend to pursue a master's degree in that field.

The emphasis of my studies to date has been the fundamental principles of international relations. I have also studied diplomacy and negotiation, foreign policy analysis, and issues of international relations, such as gender studies in world politics. All these have enhanced my understanding of world events, their impacts (especially on my own country) and how to approach them.

I am eager to participate in your program, and I believe that my education and working experience offer sufficient background for matriculation towards your masterâs degree. Please find enclosed a copy of my curriculum vitae with additional information about my qualifications.

Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to hearing from you.

Yours faithfully,

Franky C. L. Silalahi

Hey, sorry to repost, but the other came out really difficult to read so i have delete tables etc. Could someone please proof-read my work. I am dyslexia and find proof-checking my work near impossible. It is long but will probably only be stupid mistakes.

Introduction

Due to social and media pressures the ideal body shape is becoming thinner and this contributes to eating disorders in both males and females Harrison & Cantor (1997).

Anorexia nervosa is defined by the DSM-IV (American Psychiatric Association, 1994) as being 15% under recommended weight for height, age and gender. The patient also has to have a distorted body view and a drive to become thin.

Gordon, (2000) states the ratio of females suffering from an eating disorder compared to males at 9-1. He recognises a gender difference in eating disorders but urges people to acknowledge the existence of the male sufferers. He describes a male patient had visiting a doctor, who had replied to the patients anorexia as âa problem that only happens to girlsâ. He claims that being labelled as suffering with a âfemaleâ disorder can lead to the male feeling ashamed and emasculated and therefore more hesitant to get help, and for this reason some believe that male anorexia is largely unreported. Gordon claims this feeling of shame is enhanced when even female anorexics are judgemental at group therapy.

This negative attitude towards male anorexia causes health risks. It may result in professionals and the males themselves not recognising their early symptoms and therefore may develop chronic anorexia nervosa before they are diagnosed. (Margo, 1987, cited in BMA publication 2000)

Whitney et al (2005) studies individual experiences of people who carers of anorexic people. The femalesâ reports were more emotional than the males who appeared to be less attached with a less sympathetic viewpoint, suggesting males have a more negative attitude towards anorexia nervosa than females do.

Support that males have unhealthy eating patterns in addition to females comes from Forman-Hoffman (2004) who conducted a study involving 9,118 adolescents, 7.3% of females and 3.1% of males reported unhealthy eating patterns over the previous week.

However, theory correlates with the attitudes as many eating disorder theories are specific to women. For example some psychoanalysists argue that anorexia nervosa is developed during whilst females experience separation anxiety from their mothers. (Darvell, BMA, 2000)

Literature on male anorexia nervosa is limited and there does not appear to be any prior research into the difference between attitudes towards male anorexia nervosa and gender. Furthermore, there appears to be a fair amount of ignorance when it comes to male anorexia nervosa, present in medical professionals as well as psychological theories not even accepting its existence might be suggesting that additional education about male anorexia needs to be put into place.

To clarify an attitude is a negative, positive or neural feeling towards an âattitude objectâ, which does not have to be a physical object; it could be an event for example. Attitudes are formed by affective and cognitive responses and behavioural intentions. The following study only examines explicit attitudes, which are attitudes which are self-reported, which can be easily measured on a likert scale.

The aim of this study is to investigate the different attitudes towards male anorexia nervosa between males and females by use of a questionnaire will remain reliable over time.

The hypothesis for this study is gender will affect attitudes towards males suffering from anorexia nervosa.

Method

50 male and 50 female students were selected by opportunity sampling to be participants for the study. Each participant was asked to fill out two questionnaires a week apart. The males were either part of a university football club or an engineering society, while the females were psychology students.

A 5-point likert scale was used.. The questionnaire used 18 affective, 18 behavioural and 14 cognitive. 25 of the questions were testing for a negative attitude, and 25 for a positive attitude.

The first questionnaire conducted had 50 questions but after the analysis had been carried out questions were removed from the questionnaire. Below is a table showing the removed items and why they were removed.

The overall design was a survey. The independent variables (IVs) of this study were gender of the participant and which questionnaire was completed. Gender is a between subjects IV, which has two levels; male and female. Which questionnaire completed is within subject IV, as each participant completed both questionnaires. This IV has two levels, the first questionnaire and the second questionnaire. The dependent variable (DV) is the scores on the questionnaire. The predictor variable (PV) in this study was the scores of the first questionnaire, while the criterion variable (CV) in this study was the scores of the second questionnaire.

The participantsâ details were anonymous and were only identified by their mothersâ maiden name and consent was gained from all participants involved who were briefed beforehand and understood that they could withdraw at any time.

First a questionnaire was constructed by brainstorming statements indicated positive and negative attitudes towards male anorexia nervosa and a mixture of affective, behavioural and cognitive, (18,18,14 respectively) with 25 negative attitude questions and 25 positive attitude was deliberately used. Then the questionnaire was typed up with a 5-point likert scale, with the options of â1. Strongly Disagreeâ, â2. Disagreeâ, â3. Neither Agree Nor Disagreeâ â4. Agreeâ â5. Strongly Agreeâ beneath each question. A brief and a form of keeping the participants details anonymous by using their motherâs maiden name, was also constructed and then potential participants were approached and asked to partake in the study. Once 50 male students and 50 female students had completed the questionnaire the results were coded into numbers as shown above. Then the negative attitude questions were recoded so that 5=1, 4=2, 3=3, 2=4 and 1=5, and then the questionnaires were both qualitatively and quantitatively analysed.

Qualitative analysis was done by looking at the questionnairesâ results and seeing if there was any reason why any particular question shouldnât be there. For example, if most people selected âneither agree nor disagreeâ then the question clearly did not serve its purpose. Quantitative analysis involved looking at the mean, and deleting any items which lay considerably outside 2.5-3.5 margins. Any items with a significantly larger standard deviation or lower correlation figures were also deleted. Then with the questions deleted new quantitative analysis was conducted to check that the results were significant. Then the questionnaire was handed out to the same participants to complete. The second set of data was then reanalysed and a t-test was carried out to compare the totals of each participant for either questionnaire to check the questionnaire was reliable over time, and Leveneâs test was perform to check for a homogeneity of variance. None of the participants where told we were comparing male and female attitudes until after the questionnaires were completed at which point they could disagree for their data to be used.

Results

The item means statistics are as would be expected when testing two opposing attitudes on a 5-point likert scale. From table 2 it is clear that all the means and standard deviations are similar. With the standard deviation being around 1. The item means are as they should be, with the mean around 3, (M = 3.137) with a few deviations, (Range = 1.290, Variance = 0.124,) no items having a mean of much less than 2.5, (Min = 2.470), or much higher than three point five, (Max = 3.760). The item variance is fairly low (M=1.011) and deviates little (Range = 0.634, Variance = 0.33)

These show similar results to those found in the 1^st questionnaire. Standard deviation are around 1. Means are around 3, (M = 3.128) with a few deviations, (Range = 1.320, Variance = 0.136,) These very similar results would suggest that the questionnaire had consistency over time; however this is tested for and discussed further later.

Reliability analysis of 1^st and 2^nd questionnaires

A reliability analysis of the items of the first questionnaire was performed to explore to what extent the scale was internally consistent. The results showed strong internal consistency in both questionnaires (Cronbach's Alpha = 0.891). The result suggest that the scale is not unidimensional (Inter-Item Correlation = 0.289) Similar findings were found with the reliability analysis of the second questionnaire, there was a similar strong internal consistency (Cronbrachâs Alpha = 0.882) and the scale still appeared to be multidimensional (Inter-Item Correlation = 0.270)

Test-Retest Reliability

The results above show that both tests are internally consistent but to discover if the test was consistent over time a test-retest correlational analysis was conducted, scores from the same individuals, on the same items on both questionnaires should be similar to indicate reliability over time. Each participantsâ total score was calculated for questionnaire one and questionnaire two and then the relationship between the two variables was examined. A significant strong correlation between scores on the two questionnaires was found (R = 0.949, p = 0.001). These results indicate that the test was reliable over time. The strong correlation between the two tests is illustrated below in a scatter-graph.

The hypothesis for this study was 1-tailed. The females scored a mean of 70.04 while males scored a mean of 55.06. An independent t-test was conducted to explore the influence gender had on attitudes towards male anorexia. A Leveneâs test of homogeneity of variance was carried out and found to be non-significant (p = 0.183) and therefore it can be assumed that there are no significant differences between variances. Gender was shown to have a significant effect on attitudes towards male anorexia, (df = 98, t = 8.045, p = 0.001).

Discussion

To summarize the results, internal consistency and consistency over time were present in the questionnaires; homogeneity of variance was assumed an independent t-test yielded significant results indicating that there is a difference between male and female attitudes towards male anorexia with males holding the negative viewpoint, while the average female has a more positive attitude towards male anorexics. This is supports the hypothesis that gender affects attitudes towards male anorexic.

Although these findings are highly significant it would be beneficial to conduct research where the scale was unidimensional as opposed to multidimensional.

These results support that Gordonâs viewpoint (2000) was correct that males suffering with anorexia nervosa are stigmatised, however Gordon also expected females to have negative attitudes towards anorexic males which this study does not find supportive evidence for. To ensure that it is not just female anorexics that stigmatise male anorexics a study could be conducted to investigate the difference between female who are suffering with anorexia nervosa and females who are not.

Negative attitudes towards male anorexia may be due to males being undereducated about anorexia as the condition is mainly associated with females. These results could be the consequence of a lack of media coverage. Female bias in academic publications about male anorexia may also contribute (Darvell, 2000). According to Margo, (1987) this will indirectly cause anorexic males health to become worse.

All the participants where students, with no mature students included, which served as a control, however further research to see if the results can be generalised would be worthwhile.

All the participants completed the questionnaires in similar conditions and the use of a questionnaire meant all the questions were standardised. Opportunity sampling was a suitable method for this study due to limitations on time, and the results were highly significant, but if a random sampling method was used for similar research in the future it would reduce possible criticisms. Because none of the participants where told we were comparing male and female attitudes until after the questionnaires were completed, the likelihood of demand characteristics was minimised.

To conclude, the results show a significant difference between male and female attitudes towards anorexia. Males showed a more negative attitude. The questionnaires internal consistency and reliability over time, along with homogeneity of variance of the results can all be assumed. The negative attitudes theorists suggest could be affecting the sufferersâ physical and mental health (Margo, 1980; Gordon, 2000) so it is a vitally important area of study to as evidence will in itself raise awareness and encourage other means of doing so

I am dyslexic and find proof-reading really hard. Please proof-read my work. I know that its kind of long, but its all in 3rd person and under the right headings etc. its only the prose and silly spelling mistakes I am conserned with which would be obvious to others. Thankyou so much. Obviously the stats arent relevent at all but thought that it might be really annoying reading something so out of context.

Exclusion Method

I would not find it odd if a straight male told me he longed to have the body shape of another male.

I believe any man with an eating disorder is not a âreal manâ.

3,4

It would not affect me if I heard a close male friend had dealt with anorexia alone

If a male told me he desired to be a underweight body size it would be fine with me.

1,3

I would be more worried about a female who was not eating than I would a male.

1,3

I would feel more uncomfortable discussing a maleâs body shape with himself than I would a femaleâs body shape with herself.

I would be equally worried about a male who wasnât eating just as much as I would a female.

1,3

I would feel unsympathetic to a male with anorexia.

1,3

The gender of a person would not affect how much I would intervene if they were suffering with anorexia.

I believe males who suffer from anorexia are effeminate.

I believe all males with anorexia are attention seeking.

I would actively try to discourage a male friend that I was worried was anorexic.

I would be equally likely to assume a male had an eating disorder than a female.

1,3

I would be just as likely call a female friend âfatâ as I would a male friend.

1,3

I would try to be supportive to any friend or family member with anorexia.

I would reassure a female friend that she is not overweight just as much as I would a male.

I would feel ill at ease if a male told me he desired to be a worryingly underweight weight.

1,3

I believe only homosexual males suffer from anorexia.

I would not be supportive to any friend or family member with anorexia.

1,3

I believe it is unlikely that a male that suffers with anorexia would be good at football.

1,3

I would spend as much time with a clinically underweight male as I would with a male of normal weight.

I would feel upset if I felt a close male friend or family member had suffered from anorexia alone.

I believe anorexic males should be treated differently than anorexic females.

I would reassure an insecure average/ underweight male that he is not overweight as much as I would a female.

2,3

I do not believe male anorexic is related to testosterone levels.

I would be more likely to call a male friend âfatâ in a jokey manner.

I would be faster to assume an underweight female has an eating disorder than I would a male.

1,2,3

I believe anorexic males should be treated the same as anorexic females.

It is just as normal for a male to suffer with anorexia as it is a female.

I believe it is weirder for a male to suffer from anorexia than it is for a female.

RE: ***

Dear Mister ***,

Your advertisement on the *** website (26/07/2007) for the position of *** has sparked my interest. Please accept this letter and the enclosed curriculum vitae as my application for the position. Let me briefly explain how I can contribute to the organisation.

In my formal as informal education youth has always played a role. During my education to become a social worker there was a clear focus on youth and international social work, policy. This translated for both in the attending of extra study opportunities. In regards for international and European social work and policy I made the choice of taking a module in European social work and policy. I finished of my education for a BA in social work with a dissertation on Gender in international perspective. This and my foreign internships in Finland and South Africa made the transfer to a MA *** (***) a logical step.

During the *** course I took the opportunity to acquire deeper knowledge on the European (EU and Council of Europe) institutions and policy. In modules as comparative social policy and European welfare law I further explored the EU policy in areas as gender and migration. In continuing of my internships I gained practical skills and attitudes to work and work together in a multicultural environment. During my first employment as a drug councillor I received first hand, grassroots knowledge of youth and the usage of legal and illegal drugs, health in general.

In my leisure time I was active as member and monitor in a youth movement, in the youth council of the municipality of ***, in *** an organisation for the starting up of youth movements in Eastern Europe. During these activities I was involved in the organisation of different events.

From previous internships and employment I have learned that I am flexible in working hours and workload. I have been described as a team player that is not afraid of taking own initiative and responsibility.

Realizing the limitations of the written page, I would welcome the opportunity to participate in a personal interview to answer any of your questions and better present my qualifications. Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to speaking with you soon.

Sincerely yours,

Can anyone with English as mothertongue, preferrably working in medicine, make a professional check of my CV and covering letter? I am from non-English speaking country, want to work as a doctor in Great Britain. Although I tried to make the best I can, I am not sure that all mistakes in grammar, spelling and punctuation were found and corrected. I would appreciate your help greatly, even can pay a reasonable amount of money via paypal for example, if your help will be really of high quality.

Dear Sir or Madam!

My name is Dr Aliaksei Papou, I am a Clinical Lecturer in Vitebsk State Medical University, Vitebsk, Belarus. I would like to ask your advise on medical training in the UK. If my request is not within your responsibilities, please let me know where I should send it.

My aim is full-time position at Specialist Registrar post in rheumatology in the UK.
I have 6 years of postgraduate experience in Medicine, including 4 years of work in the Department of Rheumatology. In June 2004 after defending thesis I have been given the scientific degree Candidate of Medical Sciences (PhD equivalent in Belarus). The detailed list of qualifications is given in my CV which is attached to this email.

Currently I do not have General Medical Council registration. I would like to consult with you do I have chances to be exempted from PLAB on the basis of completion of Basic Specialist Training. After graduating from university instead of 12-months internship I had 2 years of medical residency in Belarus (training course called clinical ordinature, 'klinicheskaya ordinatura' in Russian language, it is developed in our country for the best postgraduates). I would like to know can it be accepted as Basic Specialist Training (according to the data I found on your site, it fits the criteria - 2 years, admission and early follow up of acute emergencies, exposure to acute unselected medical take).

In June 2005 I took IELTS test with total band score 8, Listening/Reading/Writing/Speaking Modules 9/9/6/7, respectively. Unfortunately, IELTS writing module result was not so good as I thought, so, if my training can be accepted as General Professional Training, I want to take IELTS once again and receive minimum 7.0 in each band. If the training cannot be accepted, I will probably take PLAB test without retaking IELTS.

And one more question. Probably I must seek only Senior House Officer position in the UK, not Specialist Registrar. In this case, which I do not prefer and may be I will not follow, I ask your advise whether there are any other routes for Higher Specialist Training in the UK (via sponsorship, ISS, Training in Academic Medicine, or other routes). Although I have heard that to get job in a university is very hard, I am interested in Academic Medicine route also because I would like not only to have medical training but to continue research work.

My CV is attached to this email as PDF-file. If you need any additional information, please contact me.

Thank you for your time and consideration, I appreciate your help!
