Re: Sentence structure is back bone in business writing, how much effective it is?

Its very true and I totally agree with you. 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 âBusiness 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. Thatâs why it is very true sentence structure is the backbone of business writing.

Hi,

Below is the template of cover letter for job applications. Let me know if it sounds right to you. Correct any grammar errors and sentence structure.

I'm very interested in this position and please find attached resume for my working history. Also I am a very detail oriented individual with a passion for challenges. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions and I look forward to hearing from you.

If you'll permit me, I'd like to add a comment about politeness. Ways of expressing politeness in words vary between cultures. Perhaps what you wrote would be polite in your culture. However, it doesn't seem polite in mine.

In your first paragraph, it sounds like you are giving orders to us on the Forum. You need to say 'Please let me know . . . Please correct . . . '

In your second paragraph, the words 'Feel free to contact me if you have any questions . . .' make it sound like you are doing the reader a favour. It sounds rather arrogant, and I'm sure that is not your intention. You need to say 'Please feel free to . . .' or to use some other expression of politeness.

Best wishes, Clive

I apologize for not being able to break free today to edit your letter. If this is a cover letter to be sent with your resume, I am afraid your autobiography itâs a lot longer than most recruiter want to read. If this is an actual resume, the tone and fluency need to be improved. In my experience, a resume should only contain the highlights of your academic and work experience, concise; yet to the point. Use active sentence structure as much as possible and use passive only when needed. I sort of redid the first paragraph as a reference. I hope this may help you, some, at least.

Dear Sir /Madam:

I am very excited to have found the position in your company for a marcomm executive. I feel my advertising experience and academic background will nicely complement the innovative and creative quality you are looking for in a candidate. I am truly grateful for a few minutes of your time with my attached resume......

This is going to sound a little unkind but as writing skills are such a vital part of marketing and marcomms, I think that we should let the company see your own work without too much of our interference or assistance.

I will say that 'Dear Sir/Madam' is a better salutation, assuming that you do not know the name of the person you are writing to.

'To whom it may concern' (never Dear with this salutation) is only used when you have no idea who will be reading the message - you do know that this will be read by their HR department, or marketing department, or someone connected with the recruitment. It's too vague and could come across as quite rude.

I feel the same sentiments with Nonaâs as I read it. The tone came across as conceited and know-it-all, aside from the awkward use of phrasing and rough sentence structure. Itâs rather long-winded which makes editing or revising it time consuming. If this is not urgent, I will try to see what I can come up with later. It needs some rewording and cleaning up. I wouldnât send it out as a job application related correspondence as is .

Ah. Resumes can take a particular form, and comlete sentence structure isn't always necessary. If it were in the cover letter, then you should use formal construction. But for a resume, perhaps:

As Public Relations Executive, responsibilities encompassed a wide range of customer-oriented activities, from receiving customers' complaints to resolving complaints as much as possible, and ultimately strengthening the relationship with customers.

Gammar and sentence structures issue, please help!

This is my rencent cover letter.

Dear Recruiter / hiring maneger
I would like to sincerely ask you to provide me an opportunity in your company where my skills and knowledge can be use and expend. I was born in China and grown up in China. I came here when I was 15 years old without speaking a single world of English. I have been walked thou many difficulties and coves to finish the final line. My first computer 486 was gifted from my parents leaded me to the road of technical. I have decided to choose computer related major in the University of San Francisco. , I learned many great theories of technologies in SFSU while I have also worked as a technical support for school part time. I have also 3 years of experiences working with the companies, âCTS, incâ and âACI, incâ. I have adopted great relationships with the employers. All reference letters are available upon requests.

I have spent thousands of time in front the computer day by day. My interests in computer are much wised. I like to create webpage, I like windows programming in visual c++. I like to play around with the networking, and also I like to manage and configs windows servers. I also like to teach people as I have 3 individual students from age 10-65.

Although certification is a must for the IT personals, however, I donât really believe certifications since I have met people who holds numbers of them but working as a person who had never done IT before. I have been go thru both MCSE and A+ tests before and I passed. I am now certified as a System Engineer from Microsoft. But I feel like I didnât learn much from the Certifications tests. What I have real learned from was the hand on experiences the hours I spent in front of the computers.

I have much confidence to apply this job you have offering now, because I believe nothing is impossible if you know what are you doing and I believe that this is what I want to do for tomorrow in the future in your company.
