Dear ***,

With reference to the job advertised in Guardian for Junior CAD Designer, I would like to apply for this position.
I am very interested in this opportunity, and feel I have all the qualifications you are looking for.

Despite my skills and artistic background having been dominated by 2D Graphic Design
I would like to expand my inspiration into three-dimensional design, looking for the similarities or connections between the two approaches.
Unfortunately I don't have an experience working in CAD, but during my employment as a lecturer, I have had a chance to provide professional introduction for Graphic Design for Architecture specification.

Please find enclosed a copy of my CV.
If you have any questions relating to my CV, please do not hesitate to contact me.
I am available for interview at any time, and shall look forward to hearing from you.

Yours sincerely,

In application procedure it is stated that a Letter of Motivation is required, but I have started it with "I would like to apply for a position...". Is it wrong? Somewhere here I've read that Letter of Motivation and Cover Letter are identhical in content. Or maybe I'm wrong?

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.

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.

very short for a motivation letter - or is this just a cover letter with your application. Try reading our 'Motivation Letters' advice sticky at the top of this thread.

Dear Sir or Madam,

I hereby wish to state my interest in a place on your Medical and Pharmaceutical Biotechnology course.

I have chosen to study Biotechnology because I want to work in an international, innovative and modern business after completing my degree. I have a particular interest in the functionality of biological and medical processes, and this course would give me the opportunity to study these in depth.

I am eager for knowledge and I am looking forward to learning about newly developed technologies for the investigation of important and innovative pharmaceuticals. My main interest is in the research and production and of new pharmaceuticals, and I imagine working with a focus on research after completing my studies.

I am aware of the vast possibilities an academic qualification in Biomedics could offer for an above-average student. Moreover, studying at an institute of international repute would enable me to enhance my academic record before I step out into today's ever-increasing competitive job market.

Yours sincerely

Re: Letter of Motivation for Eventmanagement

Hi,

gosh, I have seen many samples of covering letter/cover letter/letter of motivation in German and English and not a single one included a quote, which means it is very risky to put something like that in a formal letter and a hard test for the HR department. In my opinion it is a too creative step but this is only my opinion. There are other ways to show who you are.

Maybe you should look for samples of formal letter on the net, then pick everything you like and prepare your letter. My covering letters are full with phrases, which I like, taken from ads/samples etc. I have my mini database with such phrases for every situation If I try to invent something completely new, usually it isn't so good

Best wishes!

Hi,

here are some generel remarks:

1) Are you sure they are only men? Dear Sir is right, if there isn't a single woman, otherwise the woman wouldn't like it. If you are not sure Dear Sir or Madam is better.

2) In Germany, we are not used to find a quote in a cover letter and I have doubt it make a good impression. I would be better to drop the whole sentence.

3) creative appetite? It doesn't seem correct in this context. Do you mean your desire for creative work? Creative appetite doesn't fit within a letter of motivation. By and large you shouldn't write as if you are speaking to your best friends

4) pressures? The correct term is pressure without s.

5) Regards? You don't know the people who would read it. In my opinion, regards is more informal. Yours sincerely is better if the whole letter is in English.

Please have a look at my LoM, I really need help with the structure...

Jorgy — Sun, 08 Apr 2007 07:18:22 GMT

Hi all,

I'm another person that needs help with a Letter of Motivation... It would be great if you had a look at it. I would be very thankful for any comment on the structure, grammar..., also I'm interested in the expression you would have of me after reading the lom.

The institution I apply at gave the following information for the lom: Please write (on a separate sheet of paper) a statement explaining your current goals, career plans and reasons for being interested in a doctoral program at the University of X. Discuss your study plans and your intended fields of interest. Your statement should be in English and not exceed two pages (not more than 700 words). (Btw, this lom is not meant as a cover letter.)

OK, here's the first version of me lom (I x marked the local information to avoid that the selection panel could find it in the www, I know, it's a little paranoid... ;-))

cheers, jorgy

Dear Prof. Dr. X,

I am a 25 year old German Sociologist currently working at the X at X. I am writing to you to apply for the Doctoral Program in Sociology at the Graduate School for X at the University X starting in December 2007.

To attend your Doctoral Program (both in capital letters?) on empirical and quantitative methods is of high interest for me because during my studies of Sociology and Political Sciences at the University of X from 2001 till 2006 I have developed a great interest in empirical social research. While I gained work experience as a student assistant at X from 2001 to 2005 I became awake that I want to start a career as a researcher in the field of empirical social sciences. A first important step towards that goal was obtaining an award from the âXâ in November 2005. They funded me for 13 month to work on an expertise about the âEfficiency of the Measurement of Further Educationâ wherein I compared and evaluated the measurement of further education in four different German surveys. Since this was a part time project I was able to spend three month (May to July 2006) at the Marketing Department at University X, working as a research assistant on the X Survey Programme. This gave me the opportunity to gather more work experience with a large data set and to improve my English as well in written and spoken in an international environment. Throughout my task on the funded project and on the X data I recognised once more that methodology and quantitative methods are substantial for any social research.

Since January 2007 I am now working as a researcher at X on a project which aims to enhance the quality of the X Survey. Within that project it comes apparent to me again that the use of appropriate methods is crucial to get reliable and valid results exceedingly in the cross-national comparison. Therefore I intend to do my doctoral studies on empirical and quantitative methods whereas my main interest lies in survey methodology for cross-national studies. Thus the topic of my doctoral thesis should be related to a topic dealing with establishment of comparability of data in cross-national surveys. Hence I need a solid education in the fields of empirical and quantitative methods which I expect to obtain in your Doctoral Program.

Additionally I want to mention two more reasons why I have a great interest to gain a doctorâs degree in your program. The first is that the training in empirical and quantitative methods at your Graduate School is combined with their application to business, economics, and the social sciences. Moreover, notwithstanding the decision for one study field, in my case i.e. Sociology, the exchange across the different disciplines is fostered amongst other things through attending to a seminar in a neighbouring field and through the contact to other Graduate School students who specialise in these other disciplines. A second reason why I appreciate your Graduate School is the excellent and international orientated research environment. Both the Social Sciences faculty and the cooperating centres are internationally well renowned and house experts in their fields. This and to study in an English speaking environment would provide me with skills which are necessary to compete internationally successful as a researcher.

I honestly feel confident that the Doctor in Sociology with a focus on empirical and quantitative methods would be the best choice for me. Furthermore it would be an honor for me to be a doctoral student at the Graduate School funded under the âXâ as the first of its kind in Germany. Therefore I would be glad of receiving the opportunity to attend the Graduate School of X.

Thank you very much for considering my application. Iâm looking forward hearing from you.

Sincerely yours

letter of motivation, help and suggestions wanted

Anonymous — Wed, 10 Jan 2007 20:17:13 GMT

Hi!
I'm applying for a volunteer work in few of the EVS projects (I don't know is it familiar to you - it's a kind of an exchange of students in purpose of learning a language and working on yourself by doing a job like an engagement in youth rights, or preparing a film festival or doing some cultural work, etc. - it's domaine of works is pretty various, but al of them require working with people) and I have to write a cover letter, but it has to be pretty general because I have to write only one letter wich will be used in all my applys. Also, people reading this kind of letter pretty much are students, young people, so I figured it would be better not to write so formal as usally. Or I'm I wrong?
I'd be very grateful if you'd give me any suggestions how to improve my letter writen below this text and if you could point out my gramatical mistakes, I'm sure there are a lot of them.
Thanks a lot, lots of kisses from Croatia!

Salut!

My name is ---, I'm a 22 years old student at 3rd year of french and philosophy at ---. When finding out of this kind of volunteering I immediately knew I want to be a part of it. With this letter I would like to apply for the participation as a volunteer in your EVS project and through it I'd like to bring you closer how deeply I would like to become a part of your team and why I think you'd make a great decision choosing me.
You're probably asking yourself why I'm so sure of myself and what is that what I can offer more than someone else? Well...

As I already mentioned, being a student of french language and it's literature and also being an admirer of it's country's great history and rich culture, I'm really eager to develop my language skills and to improve my speaking french whilst gaining valuable experience and knowledge. As well, I'd like to learn about other cultures and various people.

I started to learn french not before my first year of college so this kind of opportunity would mean a great deal for my professional as well for my personal improvement. I'm an highly motivated, hard-working, tolerante and dynamic individual with expressed comunicating and organisation skills. During my time as a student I gathered a big amount of experinece in working with people in wide range of jobs (being a promotor, hostese, waitresse) that I did as a member of the Student Service in my city. I also volunteered at animal shelter for two years (Noina arka) and I have participated in our Society of francophone students in Croatia for two years now. In year 2005. I went through a training curse to be an animator at seaside resorts.

Like you see, I have kept myself busy.

Well, doing all that I learned I enjoy working with people and that it fullfills me. And I'm really good at it. I easily adopt in any work enviroment and in working as a part of a group. Although neither an individual work that requires an initiative and responsable person with a sens of personal organisation doesn't represent any problem to me; I act equally good in both surroundings and I cope effectively with all kinds of demands put in front of me.

I'm a computer literate and I speak, read and use both english and french. But I also think that there's a lot more work in front of me to achieve a level of a perfectly spoken french. Passively I use slovenian and I also learned deaf-mute language for a year.

Privatly, I like sports and dancing. Depending of my free time and my mood I ride my bike, I swimm, I run. But for the past year I put myself mostly in ballet dancing lessons which I really enjoy. Also I adore to read. Everything. Wether(?) it's a daily or weekly press, all sorts of magazines, romans, Internet sites â from yellow pages to scientific articles, arts to love themes â I swallow it all in one breath. Any gatherings or activities of all kinds including people spending time together always will drow my attention. I'm a big filmophile and I enjoy music. And if you add a good cup of coffee with a fresh croissant accompanying it, plus my family and friends, with whom I share all my interests and free time, that's my winning choice.

I'm sure you have already got an idea of how much I'd like to come and become a player in your team, but all the same, I'll use one more opportunity to express how strongly I desire to volounteer in your EVS project and how I'm convicted I have a lot to contribute with my experience and personality as your team member. The changes and all the adjustements that I would be confronted with do not frighten me, moreover, they challenge me. All potential shortfalls that will occure I'm willing to compensate with my maximum effort and doing my best. I'm very ambitious, prepaired to learn and ready to adopt new skills. I would be very gratefull if you'd give me a chance to represent all my qualities and ambitions in person, working for you. As I already said, this opportunity means to me a lot and represents a big possibility in enriching myself as a person as well as developing myself in professional sense.

I thank you for your time spent reading this letter and I hope for a positive response. If you have any questions, please contact me through --- or my perssonal e-mail address ---

I look forward to hearing from you.

Best regards,

----
