&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;Respected Sir&amp;quot; sounds kind of old-fashioned to me.&amp;nbsp;I think&amp;nbsp;&amp;quot;Dear Sir&amp;quot; is sufficient.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; I am Safeer Hamza. P. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The punctuation here looks odd. Is this your full name as you usually write it?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;I am hearing &lt;strong&gt;i&lt;/strong&gt;mpaired. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I wouldn&amp;#39;t lead with this. I would put it somewhere later, along with where you mention &amp;quot;Enable India&amp;quot;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;I have got 15 years qualifications and one year experience with AutoCAD Map. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;15 years qualifications&amp;quot; doesn&amp;#39;t&amp;nbsp;make a lot of sense to me. It took you 15 years to accumulate them?!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;I would like to apply for&amp;nbsp;a job in your organisation in Bangalore.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;Apply for a job&amp;quot; is vague. Are you applying for a specific job that&amp;#39;s been advertised? If so, you should state what it is. If you&amp;#39;re just writing in the hope that they might have a vacancy then I think you should explain that, and explain what sort of job you&amp;#39;re looking for (even if you think it&amp;#39;s implied by your experience).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;I need minimum salary Rs 10,000. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;I need minimum salary...&amp;quot; sounds too abrupt to me. Personally, I would not mention this at this stage.&amp;nbsp;If they were thinking of offering you more, then&amp;nbsp;they&amp;#39;re not going to after reading this! If they&amp;#39;re interested in you and respond to your letter, then you can negotiate on the subject of salary. If you feel you want to mention it, then the wording needs to be softened in my view.&lt;em&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Please find attached my Curriculum Vitae and Enable India and do the needful. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I understand that &amp;quot;Enable India&amp;quot; is an organisation that helps people with disabilities (incidentally, on their website it is written &amp;quot;EnAble India&amp;quot;). But &amp;quot;Please find attached my ... Enable India&amp;quot; doesn&amp;#39;t make any sense to me. What actually are you attaching?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;do the needful&amp;quot; isn&amp;#39;t right. What is it that&amp;nbsp;you&amp;#39;re asking them to do?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;If any news there please inform me by&amp;nbsp;message.&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This doesn&amp;#39;t read too&amp;nbsp;well. I would just say &amp;quot;I look forward to hearing from you&amp;quot;.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Kindly Reveiw  Resume/CV for MD post</title><link>http://www.englishforums.com/English/KindlyReveiwResumePost/vxhhz/post.htm</link><pubDate>Wed, 15 Aug 2007 17:05:32 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="true">946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:405013</guid><dc:creator>Anonymous</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;I

&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;b&gt;SUMMARY&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;A highly motivated, determined, and dedicated 29 year old
general practitioner (GP) with practical work experience in conducting evidence
based medicine during my 16th month compulsory national service, when I was
working as a GP in a health clinic handling most aspects of a GP
responsibilities. My appreciation for importance of â evidence based medicineâ
has led me to propose surveys and researches to gather appropriate data
concerning most daily encountered medical problems. My commitment to
humanitarian activities and my professional obligations led to a two-week
voluntary work for&amp;nbsp; Red Crescent during the very first days of
catastrophic *** earthquake ( date), when I experienced working with the least
equipment and facilities during a natural disaster of massive number of
casualties and lots of emergencies. I spent two month of my internship and one
month of my clerkship in a rural health clinic where I became familiar with the
the country health system and policies in rural area while under supervision I
was responsible for daily patient care and visits, handling and updating
patients records, doing patients follow-ups, vaccination, pregnancy and
pediatric routine cares, birth control, consultation, monitoring community
health and addressing any health problem in the community. I proposed a survey
during this invaluable experience of my internship to find out the results of failure
of patient for following up their routing visits especially for pregnant women
and juvenileâs which resulted in 23 percent increase in their attendance. The
rest of my internship was in a large medical center in *** city during which we
were trained for conducting a wide array of medical skills in all medical
disciplines. I understand the value of research in medicine and have always
been keen to conduct practical researches to solve some problems of community
or bring new treatment to practice, which could be noticed from my research
background. I have always been eager to connect my current knowledge to
perpetual stream of new medical breakthroughs and practices through reading
reputable medical journals, however my research background makes me to be
critical to new article and research papers form content and methodology
perspective. Playing Basketball has taught me the value of teamwork and to be
more proficient in indispensable art of time management. I studied medicine in
and graduated from a medical school listed in both WHO and IMED directory of
medical schools.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;b&gt;WORK EXPERIENCE&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;*** Health Clinic, city, country ( 2006 - Jun, 2007)&lt;b&gt;&lt;br&gt;
General Practitioner (GP)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;
As a result of post graduation compulsory National Service, I served in the
above health clinic having the full responsibility of a GP, handling primary
health care issues , emergency settings, psychiatric cases, and being
responsible for executing comprehensive patient workout, providing full medical
and psychiatric consultation, figuring out patients diagnostic and therapeutic
plan including: drug prescription, requesting x-rays and labs, referring to
higher centers and appropriate specialties. My simultaneous enthusiasm for
conducting evidence-based medicine in all aspects of my practice and medical
research resulted to my proposition of carrying out problem-oriented surveys
and local researches to promote comprehensive health care and patient
management. As the result we decided to undertake some preventive and
educational measures to reduce the number of patients with low back pain, knee
pain, depression, peptic ulcer, headache altogether by 19 percent within an
eight-month follow-up of the targeted population. I worked with three other
doctors, seven nurses, and ten physician assistances, also being responsible
for monitoring nurses and assistances work, coordinating personnel, and
scheduling night shifts.&lt;br&gt;

In reading many posts on this (neat)&amp;nbsp; forum, I noticed that there are many differences in the format of CVs for each country and I would like to make sure that what I read seems appropriate. I'd appreciate benefiting from any input the "experts" may have in this exercise.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;CV:&lt;br&gt;It seems like it is common to enter personal information at the beginning of the CV, such as date of birth, nationality, marital status etc. Is this correct?&lt;br&gt;I read that contact information (email, address, phone number) should always be at the end of the CV. True/False?&lt;br&gt;If anyone has experience in the redaction of CVs in both countries I would greatly appreciate any input.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Letter of motivation:&lt;br&gt;Again there seems to be minor differences which ..... can make a difference. As an example we (US) punctuate "Dear Sir;" and it seems UK correct typing would be "Dear Sir,". The content itselfl is pretty much "universal" and very well detailed in many other posts.&lt;br&gt;Are there any specifics in regards to punctuation, paragraph spacing, ending formulas (instead of the brief "Sincerely," we use here) that should be used to taylor both of these documents so it sort of proves that, at least, an effort has been made to customize the letter to the recipient?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Thanks in advance to all readers and ... advisers.&lt;br&gt;</description></item><item><title>Please help with checking of my English in CV</title><link>http://www.englishforums.com/English/CheckingEnglish/bwcqw/post.htm</link><pubDate>Wed, 03 Aug 2005 19:11:59 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="true">946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:123683</guid><dc:creator>Apvit</dc:creator><description>&lt;P&gt;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.&lt;BR&gt;Al&lt;BR&gt;----------------&lt;BR&gt;Covering letter&lt;BR&gt;---------------- &lt;BR&gt;Dear Sir or Madam!&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;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.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;My aim is full-time position at Specialist Registrar post in rheumatology in the UK. &lt;BR&gt;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.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;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).&amp;nbsp; &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;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.&lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;BR&gt;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.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;My CV is attached to this email as PDF-file. If you need any additional information, please contact me.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Thank you for your time and consideration, I appreciate your help!&lt;/P&gt;
