Re: Shall I write my name and address at the top right side of my Motivation Letter..?

Hi,

Send an application letter, for a job I presume, that begins with 'To whom it may concern'? Surely you jest! [:D]

For reasons that escape me, many of our learners here on the Forum seem endlessly fascinated with the idea of writing letters that start with 'To whom it may concern'.

A search will find a great deal of discussion about this, with many people telling them again and again about how rarely and in what special and uncommon circumstances this phrase is used.

Best wishes, Clive

Beware the dangers of verbosity. I am unfamiliar with the phrase 'fair-traded' but presume it is a word familiar to those in the import-export business..

I am writing about the possibility of obtaining work experience within the ***. Currently, I am studying International Business Administration and International Development. I will begin my diploma thesis for my economic studies next semester and complete the first part of my studies of International Development at the end of this semester. At university, I have gained insight into business affairs and questions of development and gained a clearer understanding of the complex interrelations of globalisation and its consequences.

I am proficient in Word, Excel, Access, PowerPoint, Outlook and the two operating systems, Windows and Linux. I speak English fluently and have also mastered French and Russian.

I can offer considerable relevant work experience. In July 2006, I completed an internship at *** (an organisation for fair-traded carpets) and helped hold the ** event. I also updated their internal database. In August 2007, I volunteered at *** (an organisation for counselling, education and support for migrant women), where I did office work and vocational counselling of some clients. Please find enclosed the two letters of recommendation.

As studies of International Development concentrate on scientific research and practice, I can be a great support for your team. An internship would provide me with the ideal opportunity to enhance my knowledge in the field of development cooperation and may even provide me with a thesis topic for my diploma.

I enclose my CV, which provides further personal details. If you have any questions, please contact me by phone or email. I am looking forward to hearing from you.

Yours sincerely,

Re: Should I put my Letter of motivation in a separate envelope?

Feebs11 — Mon, 28 Jan 2008 15:55:34 GMT

Send all the documents in the same envelope. No separate envelope required.

You do not need to put anything in the letter - it should be clear to the recipient that it is the covering/motivation letter accompanying your application and resume.

Motivation letter - Feedback highly appreciated!

Hi

Its a little bit a technical motivation letter, but I would be thankful for any useful feedback that I could get!

It will be sent with a resume. Many thanks!

Dear Sir or Madame,

Following an informative e-mail correspondence with Ms. Jennie Mustermann, I am writing to apply
for an internship in your CPU Design Group (Ref: ***). Since I have
been working in the field of computer science, *** has always been known to me for
its wide range of excellent RISC microprocessors. Not surprisingly, we have in our
research group at the University of *** two *** development boards which we plan
to use for future projects. I am excited about the possibility of being an intern
with such a company.

During my first year as a PhD student at the university of ***, I have acquired
skills and experiences highly relevant to the intership position in your CPU group. I
designed a first prototype of a 32-bit RISC microprocessor using the LISA machine
description language. The architecture is tailored towards efficient execution of
cryptographic workloads. The design has been sythesised with the Xilinx Sythesis
Technology for a Virtex-II FPGA and I used Xilinx's Chipscope for in-circuit
verification.

In addition, your work requires experience with a hardware description language. For
my master thesis project, I implemented a coprocessor in VHDL that performs high
speed elliptic curve cryptography. The results of this work were presented at the
Workshop on ***.

To further acquaint you with the specifies of my background I am enclosing
my curriculum vitae. If you have any questions or require any additional information,
please feel free to contact me at 000-00000 or by e-mail ***@gmx.at
I look forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely,

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.

Hey guys thanks in advance!

pls check the grammar and the overall appropriateness?

what do u think is it a good cover letter or needs tuning?

Dear Sir / Madam,

I would like to apply for ...

My motivation for applying this programme is because of the unmatched value X places upon itâs people and the excellent self development opportunities X provides. I was immediately convinced, when I read the X careers web page that starting a career at X is the chance of a lifetime to fulfill my objective of developing myself as a prospective business leader.

I have studied Economics at X University in X. The university itself is the best internationally renowned university in X Only those students in the top five hundred where there are one million and a half applicants taking the university entrance exams are admitted to the university. Admission to such a university where students are highly competent equipped me with a constant awareness to be disciplined and an enthusiasm for change in order to ( necessary?) be ahead of others.

In terms of interpersonal communication, I am responsive to my colleagues and am eager to help whenever possible. I am good at team work, able to consider and analyse different opinions, and take the lead when necessary. I am good at persuading others by creating relationships based on mutual trust and understanding.

I had an internship with Banca X. There I had the chance to serve as a marketing analyst for one and a half month during my 3 months internship period which was decisive in choosing my career path. Besides work experience I participated in a great range of social activities and held roles as supervisor, executive board member and president. During those activities I sometimes lead teams and sometimes was part of a team. Taking part in extra-curricular activities provided me with invaluable organizational, public communication and leadership skills.

I know X seeks only the brightest and most creative applicants for the graduate development programme. I also know that I have the ability it takes to perform the job effectively, and that I am excited about the idea of working for a dynamic, internationally recognised IT company,

You can find my qualifications and skills in the enclosed resume. If you would like to have more information about my qualifications and skills, please contact me by e-mail or phone.

Of course Elfsleepy: www.thechatpage.com no cams, just people who want to meet friends from all over the world and learn English

I myself didn't find it a good one, Francesca! Last time I visisted there, there was a girl flirting a guy, and she kept talking all the time like "Hey, where r u? Do you hate me?", etc. Noone could chat there! It's hard to find a good chatroom! Native speakers are not interested in learning English, of course. They wanna talk, not teach. Unless they are very kind, they won't help you anything with your poor language. If you cannot understand them, they simply say bye (if they are polite) or stop chatting without saying anything (if they are not).

But if you simply go to a chatroom to learn English with people have the same purpose. They are (all) non-native speakers. Their English, even good, is not really natural. And you find that you don't want learn their English, anyway. Non-native speakers wanna seek native ones to practise English but sometimes, native speakers find that non-native ones seem to take advantages from them. And of course, they stop chatting! I've got several emails with resume/motivation letters attached from many non-speaking English countries, they ask me to correct them (even I'm not a native speaker!). Of course I don't have time to do that, unless they are from people I already had some chats with and I consider as friends. I can help if they ask me when chatting with me, but not a couple of long letters to check, even spelling mistakes. I get sick of them! I want to make friends, have some chit-chat, cultural exchanges... but NOT teaching English! My English is not that good!

So if you wanna talk with native speakers, try to improve your English by yourself first, so at least you can understand them in most of situations. They are willing to tell you what some slangs mean but not most of the time. I myself don't like the question "What does it mean?" all the time when I just use very simple English. When we go to a chatroom, just simply we want to have some gossips, to have fun. That's it! None wanna be an English teacher, neither do I. Teaching is some thing quite stressful, not that fun to do in free time. Anyway, best of luck for your English study! ^^

Could you be so kind as to assist me in checking this new Motivation Letter

Anonymous — Tue, 27 Mar 2007 22:25:49 GMT

Hello everyone :-)

I am about to apply for International Law at Utrecht University in Holland. I am really late in submitting my application and it is the first time I'm writing a motivation letter, therefore I kindly ask you to help me in checking it. I appreciate your time and kindness. . Below is my FIRST Motivation Letter.

Motivation letter for Utrecht University (Holland)

Dear Members of the Board of Admission of Utrecht University,

My name is *** and I am an YYY high school student to be graduated in June this year interested in applying for a Bachelorâs Degree in International Law program at your University. My apperception advices me that the first important decision in life, guiding towards ones future, refers to accurately decide on the right academic institution to provide with the proper academic background which will certainly help me with my professional life. After a thorough examination of your BA Program in International Law, I understood that UCU is the academic institution that may adequately provide me with the best alternative for high-level studying. I am interested in this program as deeper knowledge of law, in particular its international insights, will certainly help me in better assessing the jurisprudence sphere. I undoubtedly aspire to gain a solid background in the science of rights.

During my high school years of experience, I have acquired a broad knowledge of natural and social sciences, where, my performance has been considered pleasing and honored all the times by my instructors. At the same time, I have experienced working in groups running simulation projects such as school administration, business management for one day or election campaigns. Furthermore, I have accomplished many assignments in social sciences mainly focusing on daily life problems such as law, family, state administration, society and many more. In order to show my overall performance, I have taken the liberty to attach to this motivation letter a list of grades acquired along my high school years for your viewing.

I enjoy communicating with people and I believe that I am capable of influencing and convincing them by pursuing my ideas following the logical ways of reasoning. I am intrigued by humanâs nature, society and the ways these two govern each other and I presume there exist ways to adjust and harmonize what goes wrong between them, something law may succeed to accomplish. It is for those reasons I have chosen to attend a law school concluding it is the one it fits best my aspirations and prospects.

I am confident that my determination to transform my interests and ambitions into academic excellence and intellectual independence are qualities that will promote me in my planned professional life. I am ready for a new challenge and I believe your University offers all of these and will assist me in taking this vital step towards attaining my goal.

Looking forward to hearing from you, I thank you all for considering my application

Sincerely,

***

Re: Difference btwn Cover & Motivation letter?

Grammar Geek — Fri, 16 Mar 2007 21:31:52 GMT

Hi Baborchy, and welcome to the forums.

In my experience, a cover letters goes with a resume to apply for a job. It says why your knowledge, skills, aptitudes, and experience make you a good fit for the company and the job.

I've never had to write a motivation letter, but it seems to be part of applying for an academic program. Because such programs don't expect you to have already done the same program (the way a job might expect you to have similar experience to the job you are applying to), instead you need to show how your background and experience have motivated you to study hard and succeed in this program.

Please help me revising my Motivation Letter

Dear all,

Please help me revising my motivation letter to a Master's Program in Economics and Management.

Best Regards,

Marco.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dear Prof. Dr. NAME X,

I am writing to apply for the Masterâs Program in Economics and Management Science at the UNIVERSITY X for the upcoming autumn semester.

My higher education started in 1994 when I enrolled the UNIVERSITY Y, one of the best and most prestigious engineering colleges of Brazil. I completed the Engineering Program by 1999, majoring in Industrial Electrical Engineering with very good grades. My engineering studies included a few subjects about economics and management and since then I decided to pursue my education in these two areas.

During my engineering course I worked as an internal in four companies to earn work experience. And as soon as I completed the program I was hired as a Systems Engineer by COMPANY X, a multinational company of telecommunication industry. I worked as an Engineer for two and a half years and then I was offered a Project Manager position. Thru this new assignment I could develop my management skills and also learn a lot about business strategies.

After almost seven years working in Brazil I left the company last April and then I worked for four more months in Singaporeâs subsidiary of COMPANY X, also as a Project Manager. During this period I had a great experience living in Asia and I could enhance both my management and my interpersonal skills as my team had people from all over the world. I think my work experience gave me a good background in management.

In order to prepare myself for the Masterâs Program I have been studying Economics at the UNIVERSITY Z since 2005. Thru these studies I could develop a strong background in economic concepts. And also in 2005 I joined the Goethe-Institutâs language course in my city so I could learn some basic Deutsch.

I chose the Masterâs Program in Economics and Management Science because it is perfectly aligned with my long-term plans. After I complete the program I intend to return to my country and resume working, and I am sure my degree and my experience abroad will help me finding a good job. Maybe in one of the many German companies we have in Brazil as Siemens, Bosch and Volkswagen. Some years later I want to pursue my education starting a Ph.D. in Economics and then teach in one of Brazilian Universities.

Another reason for choosing this program is because I think my country has much to learn from Germany. Last yearâs strong growth of German economy is a result of policies that should be studied and followed by countries like Brazil. Thru the Masters Program I expect to increase my understanding about Germanyâs capacity to overcome difficulties and to always move ahead. Moreover in 2004 I spend one week of my vacation in CITY X and I loved the city. It is for sure one of the best cities I have ever been to.

I hope my background and qualifications are enough so I can be among the fortunate applicants selected to join the Masterâs Program at UNIVERSITY X.

Sincerely yours,

Marco.
