Motivation letter v. 2

gorodman — Thu, 30 Oct 2008 19:24:14 GMT

Hi there! I will appreciate it a lot, if you read my motivation letter and leave any comments on it. Thank you very much!

Dear Sir/Madam,

I am a * year student of the ****, Russia. I am writing to you because I have a strong desire to study at âMaster in Strategic Project Managementâ **** and I want to share my motivation with you.

After market economy takes the place of planning economy, a great number of enterprises in Russia stopped functioning because of absence of qualified managers who could work in new conditions. Nowadays, the production of goods and services is still on low level, because big business want to earn money quick and easy by selling oil and gas, and does not want to develop other spheres of production; and the defence industry is the only industry in Russia which is still well functioning. So, I have a dream to make a contribution into the diversification of Russian economy. I want to work as a strategic manager in a Russian enterprise which will produce goods and services for peaceful use.

I have an excellent background for applying for ****. Studying in **** gave me a thorough understanding of how the manufacturing and business processes are organized. The work in studentsâ union brought me an experience of how to communicate with people and how to organise and motivate them to work hard to fulfil a project in a rigid time frame. While sports activities have always charged me with positive energy and make my character strong.

I should also notice that it is very important for me to receive ** scholarship.

Obtaining a degree of Master in Strategic Project Management will help me to fulfil my dream to develop the production of goods and services for peaceful use in Russia.

I have enclosed all materials required for acceptance into the masterâs program. Thank you very much for considering my application. I am looking forward to a positive response.

Yours sincerely,

**

motivation letter confused :(

jfzaki — Wed, 02 Jul 2008 11:45:17 GMT

Hi everyone,
I'm new here and I want to apply for a job in consultancy or management. It is going to be sort of a career change but not really a complete career change. I'm writing a motivation letter but don't seem to get it right or don't know :( could you please correct this one and give me ideas and feedback about what i should write in? The reason i want to leave my current job is there is no career development for me there and i don't want to loose my skills with no development. same time i don't know how to put that down in the motivation letter

Dear Sir or Madam,

I am writing in regards to â¦â¦â¦â¦â¦position offered at your â¦â¦â¦â¦. I am a candidate worthy of consideration. I have an excellent engineering education. I have been on diverse engineering and IT courses that broaden my technical background in a number of fields. I have a track record that clearly demonstrates my qualifications. You will certainly find this clear from my application.

I have the traits required to be a successful ..(consultant or manager depend on job). I can bring along managerial experience from the time I owned my business. I can also bring technical expertise, initiative, hard working, team player, creative but realism thinking, methodological problem solving skills and above all can establish and maintain excellent client relationship.

I am not just looking for a job; I am looking for a company where I can flourish. A continuous mental challenge is a must to stretch my abilities and drives me to thrive. I have the attitude of âdo what it takesâ. I am looking for a place where career development is well defined. I believe that your company rewards these traits and values.

I would like to thank you in advance for your time and any consideration you may give me. I look forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely,

College Motivation Letter... MountainHiker, you still on here?

Anonymous — Tue, 13 May 2008 22:33:51 GMT

Hi all! I have written this to the best of my ability. I'm pretty secure about the language part, as I'm bilingual, but it's the culture part that I want to check works. Some stuff I need to put in there, like the reason for the GPA - it's part letter, part appeal. But, this is my question, does it come off as too smarmy, too corny, too vague, disorganized, paragraphs need switching around? I just really liked what Hiker said to some other people n here - I have tried to follow the question checklists s/he posted "(Introduction (very quick points) 1a) Who you are 1b) What you want to do 1c) Why do you want to do it 1d) What do you want from them 2) Detailed background 2a) Expand on who you are 3) Detailed background 3a) Expand on what you want to do and why you want to do it 4) Summary 4a) Summarize what you have told them 4b) Thank them for considering your application" and the list for another poster "1) You have a Communication Science degree 2) You want to obtain a Masters Degree in European Comparative Public Policy 3) You want to study at University of Essex 4) You have a passion for European Comparative Public Policy 5) You want to do what or influence what once you are done?" This is an online... ookay, off to edit *edits* *returns* ...online college offering a Liberal Arts MA. Fort Hays State University. And this is my letter: As an immigrant from Egypt with a BA in English literature, including comparative and cultural studies, a background in consciousness-raising work and gender activism, and a lifelong dream of a career conveying these concepts to others and inspiring them to make a difference, I respectfully seek acceptance at your Master of Arts in Liberal Studies program. Culture, critical thinking, history, and social analysis have been the most important fields of study (formal and otherwise) in my life for as long as I can remember. My mission since graduation has been to analyze and question accepted ways of doing things, including sexuality, the monolithic nature of official discourse, and the mainstreaming of the Arabic language and Islam while eroding indigenous tongues and other religions in my native Egypt. As an aficionado of historical narrative, especially that of my native region, the Middle East, and a keen observer of the unseen social currents of religious and gender politics, and cultural norms, mores and values, I have devoted myself to exploring what lies beneath the surface and is visible through the 'iceberg' model of culture. To this end, I have read over 150 books on history, culture, religion, politics and sexuality, among others, mostly about Arab culture. I already am teaching Middle Eastern culture and history at a small language school. The reaction I have received has made me eager to become qualified for a better teaching position in the field of culture/comparative studies. There is so much work to be done in this area to make people truly aware! However, I sense that before being qualified to do this, I am in need of a more thorough academic grounding in epistemology, anthropology and the science of critical thinking skills, as well as in the broader areas of culture and human knowledge, including cross-disciplinary studies and research on cultures outside the mainstream. I am confident that these fields are jut what I need to formalize the learning imparted by my sometimes tumultuous social-political personal experience. While the English Department of Cairo University, where I earned my BA, was a liberal oasis (my majors included Comparative Literature, Civilization and feminist criticism), I later found many of my fellow-Arabs were resistant to a liberal outlook. At that time, the newspapers were abuzz with news of the 'Satanist cult': trumped-up charges (later dismissed by judges as a total fabrication) brought by powerful police officials against American University boys and girls, arrested for wearing black and listening to heavy metal, tortured into confessing crimes they never committed. I became more and more frustrated as people kept telling me, "The newspapers say it; it must be true." For these people, the appearance of difference, and condemnation by the mainstream media, was enough to condemn these unfortunate young people whose only crime had been to assert some individuality and deviate from social norms. The issue became even more complicated and interesting when a number of Europeans I worked with, in a well-intentioned quest for 'cultural sensitivity', ended up with a prescriptive and restrictive definition of Middle Eastern culture: "No, no, boys shouldn't take Home Economics classes. We understand your culture." I preferred to view norms, mores, and values as separate entities and not succumb to the Orientalist view that, lumped together, unchanging and unchangeable, they constituted a monolithic 'culture'. Some of the other questions I asked myself were: What is collective memory? Can one find a descriptive, rather than prescriptive, model of culture? How far does respect for difference erode the rights of the dissenting individual in a collective culture? These are questions whose answers I hope to seek in your program. In 2001, my interest in sexual/religious difference took on a more overtly political nature with the Queen Boat case, where 52 gay men were arrested on trumped-up charges of, yes, Satanism. Unable to stand it any longer, I started a campaign to pressure legal organizations to give them representation in court ("But they're fags! Why represent them?") and alert international human rights organizations to the issue. This had some success; however, it became clear that I was next in line for arrest, and finally I sought political asylum in the U.S. Since coming here, I have studied cinema (earning an associate degree with a 3.8 GPA) made a film on the subject, and am currently preparing a documentary on the veil. In addition to your academic program, which seems to offer a roadmap to the answers for many of my questions, your university is ideal for me in that you offer a course to be taken completely online. This is beyond convenient for me, as I am busy with work and have found that commuting time cuts into my study hours; I would also find it impossible to relocate to Kansas at this time. Also, in an age where education can be, literally, a forbidding expense, my gratitude knows no bounds for your efforts to provide a quality education at a price I can actually afford. I feel it is pertinent here to mention that, just before the exams of my last year at university, I was among a group of students who were holding a peaceful demonstration against the interference of the secret police in student affairs, including sabotaging student union elections. The secret police pelted us with tear gas grenades and rubber bullets; I was unlucky, and had to be carried out of the university with a broken nose and upper respiratory inflammation. When exam time came round, I was not yet recovered (Egyptian universities base the entire grade on one final exam, not on coursework) but made an effort to come to exams and ultimately managed to pass all my tests. However, while my GPA in previous years was significantly higher, as you can see from my transcript, I was unable to make the minimum 2.5 GPA required for the last 60 hours of undergraduate study. This rather lengthy and tedious explanation precedes, as you may be expecting, an urgent and very heartfelt plea that you not allow this unfortunate occurrence to stand in the way of my chances for learning and the ultimate fulfillment of my life's dream. Thank you for taking the time to read this. Your university represents a dream to me, not least thanks to the convenience and cost, which means that the dream is finally within my grasp. It is my dearest hope to become a student at the Master of Arts in Liberal Studies Program, thereby gaining an invaluable academic grounding and ideological framework and positively influencing others thereby. If accepted, I pledge to apply myself to my studies diligently, and never give you cause to doubt the wisdom if your decision. Allow me to thank you, again, for considering my application. Yours sincerely

Re: Could You please to check my motivation letter!!! please!!!

Clive — Mon, 28 Apr 2008 23:10:03 GMT

Hi,

You need to organize what you want to say into a number of shorter paragraphs, each dealing with a particular point that you want to make.

Try that, and repost if you want to, OK?

Best wishes, Clive

Please!!! It is urgent! Can I send this draft of Motivation Letter to the University I am applying?

marian4eto — Thu, 24 Apr 2008 20:03:06 GMT

Hello!

I am applying for a Master program and this is my Motivation Letter. I have to send it already and is it OK to send it like that?

Please!! I need your help!! I would be very thankful if you read it! I would like to hear your opinions and comments.

Thank you in advance!

Dear Madam or Sir,

I am hereby applying for the Master of Science in Y program at the X University for the 2008 fall term.

Being a daughter of an entrepreneur who is running an export company for the past 15 years, my inclination towards business began from an early age. As a child I often went with my father to his office and spent hours watching how he was working, talking with colleagues and negotiating. At the age of sixteen, I began to assist him to deal with family business and accompanied him in business meetings. These experiences instilled in me the desire to own and manage my own business someday and from then on I was determined to place the education and my future career in the center of my life.

Taking my interest further in my secondary education, I obtained a qualification in the profession of Organizer of Small and Medium Business. There have been a number of Management and Economic Exercises where I have been able to share knowledge, experience, responsibilities and to gain entrepreneurial and practical business skills. One example would be my participation in the National Online Competition Virtual Enterprise of the economic education organization Junior Achievement. It was a computer-simulated program in which I was a part of a team and we had to make production and marketing decisions for an imaginary product, considering a simulated economic situation. During the simulation, we decided on pricing, the amount to produce, the marketing budget, capital investment, and research and development spending. Although we did not win the competition, this program helped me to understand business, value free enterprise and be workforce ready for the challenges of the market in Bulgaria as a member of the European Union. I was also fascinated of how business and commerce work and I developed a sound interest in economics.

Hence, the prospect of intensifying my knowledge of these fields let me to the second step â enrollment in a Bachelorâs degree program in Economics with specialization in Trade in the Z University. Throughout my bachelor years I had plenty of opportunities and experiences that helped me hone my qualities and open my mind to new horizons. Having participated in many assignments, both independently and as a part of a team, I feel confident about tackling unfamiliar problems. The project I worked on, about the bankruptcy of the *** company is one of the assignments I have applied my quantitative and conceptual skills to analyze business problems and gave innovative solution ideas. I had to make an independent research about the cause of the failure, to analyze the information and to give assumptions about the possible outcomes of the situation. This project helped me understand the necessity of good organisation structures, and appreciate the significance of systems that work well. Due to the project I developed, also the presentation I made, I was awarded with an excellent mark an exemption from the final exam. Essentially or Generally, my education thus far has given me valuable insights into the environment in which companies operate - how they affect this environment and are affected by it. It also has given me a certain set of skills, confidence and desire to succeed in my further education.

I have a work experience, that further enhance my qualifications for this program. In my work as an administrative assistant in the Association of Advertising Agencies (AAA) , I participated in the organisation of six in total National Advertising Forums and Festivals as a project manager. My work entailed allocating the duties in the team, coordinating the tasks and controlling the whole event, with guest, reaching total number from 500 people at the Forums, to 1200 at the Festival. The running of these events, (handling with a wide range of problems), has strengthened my organisation and problem-solving skills. The work at AAA has taught me to communicate effectively, to be a good team-player and to work accurately under pressure.

My travelings throughout Europe and my participation in the Work and Travel Program in USA, have enhanced my self-confidence and independence. My ability to integrate easily in foreign communities has provided me with the confidence to anticipate and even enjoy challenges abroad â a capability that could only benefit my future endeavors.

Pursuing a Masterâs degree in YY I will be able to fulfill my career ambitions. My immediate goal after completing my Master program is to work in the company, established by my father, and help him developing it further by reaching much greater heights in scope, expanse and technology. This will allow me to gain enough exposure to the business and to apply my skills and knowledge in a real working environment. It will be also a valuable experience, needed to achieve my long-term career goal - building my own market-leading export company. To accomplish this goals, however, I must further enhance my learning of the necessary strategic management issues, which will provide me with a global perspective, that every manager and entrepreneur mush have. My education will be a valuable necessity in my plans of moving the company to the next level.

Moreover, Bulgaria became a member of the European Union and as an EU country, there is a need of knowledgeable professionals who will assist the country in handling the requirements of the Union. I would like to be a part of that process as future entrepreneur and manager of own company. (Therefore, as a future entrepreneur and manager of my own export-oriented company, a priority for me is to support to the national efforts of my country to integrate our economy into the European and global one. â shall I remove this sentence)

With the graduate degree and the knowledge from your institution I will be able to fully realize my professional goals.

I am confident that I have the necessary combination of self-motivation, background, personality and academic knowledge to succeed in the Masterâs degree program.

Help me in my Motivation letter

Hi all.I really delighted to see ll peoples helping each other.This thing encouraged me to ask help and suggestion for my motivation letter for graduate program.I thank to all in advance..

Letter of Intent

Power Electronics is an enabling technology, with vast applications in various fields. Some of the more familiar arenas include Utility Power Conditioning, Electrical Power Conversion, Motor Control and Servo Actuation. These technologies and inventions have always fascinated me. When I was child I would satisfy my curiosity by using batteries, motors and machines from my electronic toys. For example I used to remove motors from my cars and robots. I would then put the ice cream stick on the motor shaft and supply power with battery to make a fan. I used to light the bulb with battery by using gold leaf instead of using wires. Therefore I was delighted when I gained admission into my undergraduate degree which allowed me to build on my talents.

The purpose of the forthcoming statement is to introduce myself and my achievements, more importantly, why I want to pursue my further studies in Electrical Power Engineering. I did my Bachelorâs of Engineering in Industrial Electronics at the Institute of Industrial Electronics Engineering (IIEE), NED University of Engineering and Technology, Karachi. I also joined the SUPARCO (Space and Upper Atmosphere Research Commission of Pakistan) as a Design Engineer. The work that I am involved in is the design and development of various power systems which include DC Power Distribution System, DC to DC conversion and motor drives for different systems. My involvement in these projects has carved my skills and heightened my understanding of the field of Electrical Engineering. Despite this I feel the need to build upon my accumulated knowledge for the betterment of the projects.

My main motivation for applying to this program is to develop advanced understanding of Power Systems, operation of interrelated power systems, high voltage technology and Motor Drives. The vision of research work and jobs in Germany is an attractive prospect to young engineers and professionals. Where technology is concerned, the country is very advanced. Many multinational companies that are behind inventing the most highly intensive technologies in the world are German. That is my main reason for choosing Germany as my place of research.

Furthermore, I have learned from my friends and the universityâs published research activities that RWTH Aachen University is the largest university of technology in Germany. Not only that, I believe it is one of the most renowned institutions in Europe. To me, your department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences seems to be one of the best in carrying out research in my chosen field Design and development of high efficiency, reliable and fault tolerant power systems and motor drives designs are what I aim to learn about at Aachen University. Study in this area will help me to flourish both academically and practically, as the nature of my job requires me to know the nuances of the field â the field which I have strong affinity to.

Also, I have a good understanding of AC/DC Power Conversion, AC/AC Power Conversion, DC/AC Power Conversion and DC Motor Drives. I intend to continue exploring these fields, specifically the field of Motor Drives. I would like to pursue work on high power motor drives, implementing various advanced power control schemes through efficient utilization of hardware and software. In particular I would like to concentrate on the design of power converter topology and the control switching scheme.

With regard to my preparation for the MS program, I have a solid base in Power Electronics, Control Engineering, Microprocessor Implementation and Electrical Machines. I have taken courses in mathematics, electronic instrumentation, digital design and circuit theory to enhance my skills. I have also completed number of real projects in the relevant fields.

Finally, I have been involved in many relevant extra-curricular involvements. I was selected to represent my university in a National Level Project Competition held at NED in October 2003. Consequently I won 3^rd prize. I was also an active IEEE student member and organised a number of successful seminars, presentations and symposiums.

Completing an MS with your institution will give me many opportunities in my chosen industry. I hope you will allow me the opportunity of joining this university. It will definitely enhance my capabilities through the enjoyable experience of research work. As well as this, completion of my chosen program will give me many opportunities in Siemens.
