Motivation letter for Head of Finance

Anonymous — Sat, 15 Sep 2007 00:59:48 GMT

I will be greatful if someone can help me to review the spelling of this motivation letter. It is for a job application purpose. The ad askes for a Letter of Motivation which I think it is the corresponding Cover Letter in Europe, since the ad was published by an Austrian Company.

So please be so kind and check my writing and grammar making the corresponding changes in order it works in the European market.

Dear Mrs. Reynier:

I am very interested in working with a multinational company within an international environment.

In Addition, I have developed my professional skills by accomplishing several training courses provided by professional institutions, which helped fine-tune my ability to work hard and with sincerity, persistence, motivation, and resilience.

My experience in finance and internal controlling spans 10 years, with the last four as General Accountant in multinational companies, gathering knowledge in financial reports submissions to the headquarters prepared in compliance with US-GAAP and more recently under IFRS regulations. Furthermore, I have several experience in budgeting process, variance analysis, inventory management and ERP system implementation.

I believe working in a reputed company like (name of the company) will provide me an excellent opportunity for my career growth. I am confident that if provided the open position to serve at your company, I will prove myself to be an important asset through my dedication, sincerity and highest level of professionalism. Also, I hope my strong analytical ability, interpersonal relationship, theoretical and practical knowledge will help me to meet the selection criterion.

Japanese music

Lately Iâve been quite addicted to Japanese culture. Not that I havenât always been, but itâs getting worse and worse.

My most recent discovery is Japanese music. Iâd been listening to it for some months and then in October I decided to order a magazine about Visual Kei (a genre of Japanese music). Every time I looked in the magazine I got more and more fascinated - it was like a completely new world unfolding before my eyes. At that time, I was only keen on Miyavi and a couple other artists, so I started searching for the names in the magazine on the Internet.

The first band I found was An Cafe (ã¢ã³ãã£ãã¯-çç²åº-) - they consist of Miku, the vocalist, Bou, the guitarist, Kanon, the bassist, and Teruki, the drummer. I liked their music right away - their genre is more Oshare Kei, which is happier and a lot more upbeat than Visual Kei.

At the moment, my biggest obsession is undeniably Gackt Camui. Heâs a songwriter, vocalist, multi-instrumentalist, actor, author, model and voice actor - all at the same time!

He made his big debut with the band Malice Mizer, but he then decided to go solo in 1999 due to unknown reasons. After he left the band, he became widely popular and he still is.

In 2003, he co-wrote and co-starred in the movie Moon Child, which made him even more popular. The movie is a bit peculiar, but it really gives you an idea about how Gackt thinks, which is great!

Nevertheless, I donât like him just because of what he has achieved in his career - I also love his personality. Many people would most likely describe him as odd, and I guess theyâre somewhat right.

He began to see himself as an outsider at age seven. One day while he was swimming off the coast of Okinawa, he nearly died. He has claimed that he actually drowned, but thatâs a little hard to believe. After his near-death experience (or death experience as he states), he has had the ability to see the dead. His family didnât believe him, though. When he was ten, however, he suddenly collapsed and was hospitalized at a hospital for extremely sick children. This was a very difficult time for him, and his friends in his ward died one after the other.

But even though he has been through so much hardship he has still been able to carry on, and thatâs really a thing to admire.

He has also always been very competitive, and itâs certainly not enough for him to be next best - thatâs why heâs so skilful at everything! Heâs not only a terrific musician, but heâs also an athlete and very intelligent. He enjoys studying language and can speak about five languages fluently.

In his interviews and on TV-shows he always tells bizarre stuff about himself. He believes that he was born in year 1540 and is a vampire. He also thinks that electric light can injure his eyes and therefore he wears sunglasses most of the time. He was once asked in an interview, what he was going to say to a person, who was nearly drowning in the ocean, and he simply answered: âThe ocean is beautiful, isnât it?â

Overall, heâs just a person you can nothing but idolize!

I donât really know what got me into J-rock (term for most Japanese music, even though itâs not rock) in the first place, but I think I was attracted by the J-rockersâ weird appearances. Compared to European/American band theyâre just so unique. Itâs not just their music, but itâs their whole culture - everything from how they act in public to their marvellous scene shows.

One stage they usually wear striking make-up, unusual hairstyles and elaborate costumes. Most J-rockers are men, but they like dressing in female clothing. This is NOT because theyâre gay nor transvestites, but because they like to please their fans.

In the J-rock world fans feel much attached to their favourite bands and to one another - especially in the west, where fans of J-rock are rare to come across. Itâs important to work together to help J-rock gain more popularity in our end of the world, and one day we might get lucky enough to have our favourite band come to our country to throw a concert!

Re: can u guys help me to check on my errors? story on "Abused"

nona the brit — Sun, 17 Sep 2006 18:56:06 GMT

Well done, I knew you could do it .

Two errors crop up throughout your essay; you need to capitalise 'I' and you need a space after commas and full stops (periods). You have quite a few errors with mixed tenses and ungrammatical constructions but I'd hate to do your teacher out of a job. I have pointed out a few of the more easily fixed errors for you. Those in red are an inappropriate choice of word. Those in blue are spelling mistakes.

The sky turned grey,thick layers of clouds covered the rays of the majestic sun. It was going to rain. Tony and I decided to loiter around the nearby shopping centre,till the rain stops.

The shopping centre was three stories in height,half a football field in size.The wide variety of products sold,would keep us accompanied for hours,even when we are window shopping.Tony had been eyeing for this two hundred bucks for a month! I was planning to buy him as a surprise birthday gift this year end,to keep a memory of our 5 years friendship.

While Tony requested to hang a little longer in the bicycle store,I sat outside,thinking about the collection of the class fund for the Chinese New Year class decoration,which was about to come in two weeks time.A class of fourty students,each was expected to pay five bucks to the class chairperson,which destressingly turned out to be me.Shockingly,i looked at my watch,it was about six o'clock in the afternoon and it was still raining cats and dogs! I immediately informed Tony that I had to return home to wash the clothes,and then left Tony alone in the bicycle store.

Without the umbrella was a despondency,worst off all was the clothes my sister urged me to wash and dry,as she needs it for her job interview tomorrow.I stayed overnight in my drenched school uniform,still trying to dry my sister's clothes.Eventually,i fall sick on the next day,which I was supposed to collect the class fund in school.I dialled Tony and requested him to take over my duty of collecting the class fund,two hundred bucks. I placed all my trust in him,but things turned out to me wrong after being absent for two days in school.

Tony did not hand the money to our form teacher, or to me. Disappointed to found out that he had misused the class fund for his new bike. A few classmates and I apporached him ,we boycott him until he is willing to return the two hundred bucks.

# Detective Job. Three men were applying for the same job as a detective. One was a Sardarji, one was Jewish, and one was Italian. The chief decided to ask each applicant just one question and base his decision upon that answer. When the Jewish man arrived for his interview, the chief asked him, "Who killed Jesus Christ?" The Jewish man answered without hesitation. "The Romans killed him." The chief thanked him and he left. When the Italian man arrived for his interview, the chief asked the Same question. He replied "Jesus was killed by the Jews." Again, the chief thanked the man who then left. Finally the Sardarji arrived for his interview, he was asked the same question. He thought for a long time, before saying,"Could I have some time to think about it?" The chief said,"OK, but get back to me tomorrow." When the Sardarji arrived home, his wife asked "How was the interview ?". Sardarji replied, "Great, I got the job, and I'm already investigating a murder.

# Green TV Sardarji is buying a TV. "Do you have colour TVs?" "Sure." "Give me a green one, please."

# Just a second Sardarji calls Air India. "How long does it take to fly to Amritsar?" "Just a sec," says the receptionist. "Thank you." says the Sardar and hangs up.

# Salary Expected Sardarji is filling up a job application. He promptly fills in the lines on NAME, AGE, ADDRESS, etc. Then came the column SALARY EXPECTED. After much thought he writes: Yes.

# Crocodile Boots Sardarji proposes to a woman. She says yes, if you bring me a pair of crocodile boots. He sets off to Africa and disappears. Finally they find him hunting crocodiles and watch him killing a huge one. He walks over the reptile, checks its legs, angrily exclaims: "71st and *again* barefoot!"

# Thermos Flask Sardarji goes into a store and sees a shiny object. He asks the clerk, "What is that shiny object?" The clerk replies, "That is a Thermos flask." The Sardar asks, "What does it do?" The clerk responds, "Keeps hot things hot and cold things cold." The Sardar says, "I'll take it!" The next day, he walks into work with his new Thermos. His Sardar boss sees him and asks, "What is that shiny object with you?" He said, "It's a Thermos flask." The boss asks, "What does it do?" He replies, "Keeps hot things hot and cold things cold." The boss said, "Wow, what do you have in it?" The Sardar replies, "Two cups of coffee and a coke."

# Photocopies What does Sardarji do after taking photocopies? He compares it with the original for spelling mistakes.

Re: Learning and teaching English in Vietnam

Lady Caroline — Thu, 11 Aug 2005 11:01:31 GMT

Hello/Xinjaou,

Please correct me on my Viet spelling ;o)

I returned to England last week, having spent a wonderful month in Vietnam. In fact, I enjoyed the experience so much that I am now making plans to return to teach English. So what is so good about Vietnam? The folk there are eager to learn and academically show alot of potential. On a pesonal note, it is also one of the few places you can actually escape from the West, no McDonalds, Burger King, Starbucks and Benetton and truly immerse yourself in the culutral delights of Vietnamese coffee (the best in the world), the fresh produce used in cooking and the truly outstanding taylors who will cater to your every request-nothing is impossible in the eyes of the Vietnamese, you might get same same but different, but you still get it - I didn't hear the word "can't" spoken once whilst I was out there.

I am seriously looking into a TEFL course, that will take me back to Vietnam, hopefully for a year. I'm looking for a school or college in Hoi An or Nha Trang, rather than Ho Chi Minh or Hanoi. If anyone has any advice, please post it up. I have had an interview at the AUA in Thailand, their course starts in November and lasts four weeks. Does this conincide with the Vietnamise term dates? I would hate to qualify and then find I have to wait a further six months before the next term begins - in England our terms generally run from September to July (a month either side for Colleges and Universities).

Any comments welcomed.

Caroline.

Hi
Here is the last bit of my supporting letter Hope you have the time to look at this so I can avoid my grammer spelling mistakes.

HARD WORKING AND ENTHUSIASTIC-I always develop a passion and commitment for the area I work in. As a psychology student I became actively involved in the ***, and contributed greatly to its success as outlined earlier. I also demonstrated great commitment to *** when working as a volunteer befriender. I entered a contract for one year but continued for another five months.

â¢ Sociable
I have been an active student and been socializing/ networking with students from all backgrounds. While working for the SMG I was offered to attend an international student conference in Madrid arranged by EFPSA. I enjoyed both the academic and social side of the arrangement. In addition, I also have also developed the ability to interact with people with mental health problems having worked as a NAS befriender. In this role I found great use of my active listening skills, patience and humour.

â¢ Mature, responsible, sensitive to ethical issues arising from mental health work
I appreciate the paramount importance of client confidentiality having worked for the *** as a befriender for a young person with Aspergerâs Syndrome. I also understand the importance of ethical guidelines for researchers and I have during my academic studies familiarised myself with the Ethical Principles for Conducting Research with Human Participants by the BPS (1992). Moreover, I received training in the âEthical Guidelines in market researchâ during my time as a market researcher and therefore have professional experience of working as a researcher adhering to ethical guidelines.

â¢ Experience of interviewing
I have extensive experience in interviewing having worked as a market researcher. The projects concerned chocolate, airlines and computer game branding. The interviews involved Likert scales as well as closed and open questions. During my dissertation I developed my interviewing skills further; I constructed an interview protocol, conducted and transcribed six one-hour semi-structured interviews and analysed this textual data in accordance with Grounded Theory (Glaser and Strauss, 1967).

If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me. I am available for an interview at any time except 3rd and 4th of August. I am looking forward to hearing from you.

Hi
This this supporting letter as part of an application form. If you have any grammar/ spelling suggestions, please let me know. Any other comments are welcome

*** has been awarded the maximum of three stars by the *** Commission for 2004/2005. In particular, its clinical services are highly rated. I would therefore be honoured to work for ***, which would bring me closer to my goal of a career in clinical psychology.

I have just graduated with a First Class Honours BSc Psychology degree from the University of *** (and thus am eligible for Graduate Membership of the British Psychological Society, BPS) and I believe that this together with my work experience has equipped me with valuable skills and abilities relevant to the role of assistant psychologist. In particular, I would like to highlight the following aspects of this experience.

â¢ Experience of working with databases
â¢ AND Experience of data collection
I have throughout my degree had experience in qualitative and quantitative data collection in particular using SPSS. While working as a market researcher I gained professional experience in working with databases. I worked for various research agencies such as *** and ***. In this role I conducted telephone interviews with the *** public and coded the response in CATI (a frequently used computer system for Market research). In this role I developed an accurate and efficient approach to data-collection. During my time as an office assistant for *** I was in charge of updating their large candidate database. Moreover, when working as a Member Liaison Officer of the *** I managed the national list of *** university student reps, which required frequent updating and active recruitment of new reps.

â¢ Knowledge of research methods
Throughout my degree I have gained knowledge about quantitative and qualitative research methods through the modules Research Methods, Advanced Research Methods and my final dissertation. In these modules I carried out different types of research project including controlled experiments, observational studies and surveys. I also developed my ability to perform literature searches, summarise results in a clear and coherent manner and produce research reports. My skills were regularly assessed and resulted in a First (74%) in Advanced Research Methods. I also gained extensive experience in qualitative research during my dissertation where I investigated the experience of white middle class fathers in intact families.

â¢ Basic knowledge of statistical packages (e.g. SPSS)
â¢ AND experience with statistical analysis
Throughout my academic studies I used the statistical package SPSS for Analysis of Variance (ANOVA), multiple regression and tests of association (Chi-square, Pearsonâs R, Spearmanâs Rho). I also used it for t-tests such as single sample, independent and paired t-tests. My ability to use SPSS and conduct statistical analysis was also assessed in Advanced Research Methods and as outlined above I gained an excellent mark in this module. I have a thorough understanding of the analysis due to my strong mathematical background having studied the âMathematical Lineâ at âGymnasiumâ (upper-secondary school in ***).

I want to talk to you about important things for me and especially for you and I want you to answer me honestly: First, how are you? Are you fine? I would like to know if you have any complaining about anything I done in my life. Do I need correction of my way? What is the right path do you think?

I am losing something in this life ? and I do not know when I will die? So I decided to interview you today firstly, I would like to know myself:
â¢ Who I am? In addition, what I want exactly from this life?
â¢ Why do think I am living in this world? Do I am here vainly?
â¢ What is the message for world that I have to give them?
Finally, I found that I have to ask myself for one time, what do I need from this world?
From now, I realize that I have to ask myself couple of questions every day before I go to sleep, which are:
â¢ Did I do something good today?
â¢ Do I need to do better tomorrow?
â¢ Did I heart someone? On the other hand, did I make anybody happy?

Dear Ms/Mr [find his or her nameâ¦also if it is a âsheâ use Ms. unless she prefers Mrs.]1]

I am exciting to be applying for an internship to laboratory and joining your team. [there is no English word âpracticantâ, I think you meant âinternâ].

As part of my training, I am required to complete a practical course in a laboratory for least three months. I would great appreciate the opportunity to be a member of your working group. That would complete my practical experience requirement and more importantly would provide me with invaluable experience and contacts, both of which are highly valued.

During my five semesters of study I have acquired a strong [or superior] knowledge of human and cell biology, microbiology and physiology as well as biochemistry and molecular genetics. During my training I have obtained basic practical experience as a scientist as well as a team worker. [no exclamation marks] [2]

I am motivated and curious person who can easily adapt to any situation. I thrive on overcoming challenges. My coworkers know me to be a very effective and helpful team player. I enjoy learning from others and helping others where I can. I am excited by the opportunity to join a group of professional where I can apply my skills, talents, and enthusiasm.

[I hope You will help me cover this step of my education and personal experience. âdelete this sentence. You want to show them why and how you will help them. Donât ask for their pity so that they hire you. Show them your enthusiasm and knowledge.]

I will call you in two weeks to arrange an interview. I look forward to meeting you.[3]

Sincerely,
Yanakieva

Watch your spelling and capitalizations. No exclamation marks, smiley faces, or anything else.

I have made some changes and put in some words for you. See if my words capture your intent.

I love your enthusiasm and passion. If I am hiring someone, I want to see that they have a passion for their chosen career. I want to know that they are excited by what they are doing. Your letter has that. I think thatâs great.

1) In North America, we place a colon after the name. Dear Mr. Jones: , but the European practice might be/is different. Nona the brit and I have had discussions on this topic. So you need to check to see how the formatting is handled in your location. If you were in North America, youâd use a colon.
2) I think you can delete the last sentence in this paragraph as we capture the team player stuff in the next paragraph. Part of me wants you expand your background more. Tell them more about you. But other part of me says no, because you just want to get their attention so that you can get an interview with them. You can think about it.
3) You definitely want to contact them. You have all this enthusiasm, excitement, and initiative. Now follow it up with a real live example. Show them that you are willing to pick up the ball and run with it.

I like your letter. Itâs short, to the point, focused, and shows lots of enthusiasm. Now you just got follow that up.
