Think for a while that why resumes and cover letter writing is considered very effective for getting a job. What do you think why in all institutions all over the world teach their business level students subject of âBusiness communicationâ? The reason is that even to get a business deal you must known how to impress the other party through your expression and that usually includes both writing and speaking skills. Now suppose if you write an application letter to a multinational company and you do not take care of the exclamatory marks or the grammar rules or any lingual rule, do you think that you will be able to give string impression? No not at all. Thatâs why it is very true sentence structure is the backbone of business writing.&lt;/span&gt;</description></item><item><title>Need Your Helps about a Traning Program..</title><link>http://www.englishforums.com/English/HelpsAboutTraningProgram/gcmkl/post.htm</link><pubDate>Fri, 16 May 2008 23:15:23 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="true">946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:514601</guid><dc:creator>Harem</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Hi all...First of all i wanna thanks to every1 who read this post and try to help me...Now this summer i would like to go Usa for a training program.I work with a company in my country for this program and they told me that i ve to write a employe application letter which will send to the company in Usa to find me a training job...Anyway so they gave me a cover letter but i found that very simple so i d like to write a more impressive one..Therefore i m looking your helps..&lt;/p&gt;

to study, my experience also includes working part-time as a
programmer in a small company. I got a job in a same sphere firm,

Managing Director. I have been working for 10 years deeply involved

&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT color=#0000ff&gt;1) Suppose I'm not sure whether I'd fit in the job being advertised as the info given on what the task implies is not clear enough. How should I handle this in my application letter? Should I write a request for more info on the letter too? Are there any samples of&amp;nbsp;"requesting information&amp;nbsp;letters" (I don't actually knwo if that is the technical term).&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;FONT color=#000000&gt; I suggest&amp;nbsp; that the best approach is simply to apply for the job and then to try to obtain any information that you want in the course of an interview, if you get one. After all, you can always tell them later that you are no longer interested in the job.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT color=#0000ff&gt;2) Suppose also that they are specifically asking for a&amp;nbsp;postition that is not exactly your study field but you know it has some points in common with your spertise (sp?), how would you handle that?&amp;nbsp;Are there any samples&amp;nbsp;of application letters&amp;nbsp;conveying this situation? &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;FONT color=#000000&gt;Just try to focus on the relevant parts of your expertise, in both your resume and your cover letter. It's a very normal situation.&amp;nbsp;Just tell them why you think they should consider you for the job.&lt;img src="/emoticons/emotion-1.gif" alt="Smile [:)]" /&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT color=#000000&gt;Best wishes, Clive&amp;nbsp;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;</description></item><item><title>Re: Can you please proofread my self evaulation memo please</title><link>http://www.englishforums.com/English/ProofreadSelfEvaulationMemo/drgnw/post.htm#252526</link><pubDate>Sat, 05 Aug 2006 00:36:18 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="true">946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:252526</guid><dc:creator>pieanne</dc:creator><description>&lt;P&gt;In the presentation, i am teaching people how to write an effective application letter(cover letter).&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Can you please check my grammar?

In the presentation, I provided three easy steps, the ABC method, to compose an application letter such as addressing and opening, body, and closing. In addition, I also provided some convenient methods for writing an effective application letter such as the online tools of hotjobs.com and monster.com.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Self-Evaluation&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Having a smile on my face, dressing formally, &lt;FONT color=#ff1493&gt;a happy smile on my face, dressed formally/formally dressed, &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;FONT color=#000000&gt;I&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;did a great job on my presentation. My visual aids were catchy and comprehensible &lt;FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ff1493"&gt;, &lt;/FONT&gt;since the presentation included art, graphics, photos and a fancy template to illustrate ideas. I also organized my presentation very well, giving a lot of good examples on how to write an effective application letter, categorizing three steps to write an application letter, including all the detailed information of how to compose an application letter. However, I was a bit nervous in the beginning when I was delivering the presentation. I felt butterflies in my stomach. I must admit that I had a stomachache problem. For some reason, I suffer from stomachache every time when I present.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Class Feedback&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;The class&lt;FONT color=#ff1493&gt;âs &lt;/FONT&gt;feedback was very helpful to me because they actually pointed out my weakness&lt;FONT color=#800080&gt;es&lt;/FONT&gt;.

They suggested to me that I need to relax, talk slower, and keep eye contact with the audience because I seemed like I was reciting. Most of the groups also said that I had good visual aids and well-organized presentation, and I agree with them because I have devoted a lot of time to organization and visual aids.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Communication principles&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;I expect to learn some guidelines for delivering a client-focused presentation and elements that I can use within my presentation to effectively support the messages and ideas. Needing to learn how to keep good eye contact with the audience, I expect to learn how to use body language and other delivery techniques to deliver an effective presentation and the techniques for reducing nervousness, as well as pitfalls to avoid during presentations. Pronunciation is another thing that I need to improve because I often swallow words when nervousness strikes me. Like the word âapplication,â I will pronounce as âapp-tion.â I want to be able to manage my nervousness during my presentation, so I can deliver it effectively to people.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
