&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#0000ff"&gt;Fist of all it is a great opportunity working for BAT for the past 2 years and thank you for considering my transition from the project team to support. There are few important points that I need to emphasize for your understanding. Actually, it isnât important for BAT to review my current rate because RM6300 was an outdated 2 years ago charges and this rate was agreed to only within a specific job requirement however I have work way above these requirements. I would like to confer in order for both parties to reach a win-win agreement based on a conclusive justification.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#0000ff"&gt;From my investigation, I have approached people who work in this particular industry (from a BW Project Manager, other BW Consultants and a headhunter) commenting my current rate as a contractor for BW Consultant specializing in Front End is really not at par with&amp;nbsp;industry standard. On top of that from what I am working now is beyond the agreed job scope, providing services not only for &lt;b&gt;Programming&lt;/b&gt; but also &lt;b&gt;&lt;span&gt;BW Support&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span&gt;, &lt;b&gt;BW R&amp;amp;D Development&lt;/b&gt;, &lt;b&gt;Graphics, Multimedia and also Training Management to all Asia Pacific regions.&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;I have contributed beyond the previous agreed job requirements for all BAT Projects yet my current employer dosen&amp;#39;t know about this issue. These values contributing to the organization will determine that I am worth more than I should.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#0000ff"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#0000ff"&gt;I have fought for all project completion with success and met all datelines, sometimes till midnight yet no overtime charges being paid. Therefore, if the company were to bond my service for another one year or two, if the organization gives nothing but just low remuneration (a net pay) to the individual, what motivation is there to encourage the individual to give back to the organization more than the simple completion of allotted work?&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#0000ff"&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#0000ff"&gt;With all the justification mentioned above, I am looking for mutual benefits for both, BAT and myself. What BAT concern, is to pay my rate according to my skill set, 7 years of experience in IT sector and appropriate rate based industry standards for contractors and I will do my best to contribute my experience, talents, skills and abilities to the organization and the team. An appropriate market rate will be RM400 to RM500 per day or RM8,500 per month.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;P&gt;Dear Recruiting Coordinator,&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I am writing to express my interest in the position of&amp;nbsp; sales assistant. During the last seven years music slowly has become my biggest passion. Being interested in all modern music history and having certain knowledge about it, I want to develop these interests in the nearest future as wide as possile. In my opinion, London is the heart and the capital of worldâs music, thatâs why I want to work there. HMV with his Nipper the dog, is one of the most recognizable and appreciated marks of music retail. With its over 85-year-old tradition and experience, it seems to be the best place for me and Iâd like to become part of it. &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;During last years Iâve had different jobs and experiences which required from me responsibility, patience, effort and involvement, cooperation in group as well as individual work with people who needed my help and knowledge. My enclosed resume will show you all the details concerning my past experience. I am sure that my skills, my potential and passion for music are a perfect match for this position. I appreciate that I have no retail experience, but Iâm highly motivated, ambitious and determined to direct the nearest years of my life where music takes the first place.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Thank you for your time and consideration. Looking forward to hearing from you soon.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Yours sincerely, &lt;/P&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
