Re: Please check my cover letter!

Hi,

I'm sorry, but I only have time for one comment.

Never start such a letter with To Whom It May Concern.

Do your best to find out the person's name. eg Is there an office you can call, to ask who is in charge of hiring?

If you can't do that, then start with Dear Sir or Madam.

Never begin a cover letter with "Dear Sir or Madam" or "To Whom it May Concern." Correspondence with generic salutations often signal to potential employers that you lack the initiative to locate the appropriate contact. If a job listing does not include the name of the hiring manager, call the company's receptionist and explain the position you are applying for to see if he or she can help you fill in the blank.After just send her your CV and cover letter in one file.

letter of motivation, help and suggestions wanted

Anonymous — Wed, 10 Jan 2007 20:17:13 GMT

Hi!
I'm applying for a volunteer work in few of the EVS projects (I don't know is it familiar to you - it's a kind of an exchange of students in purpose of learning a language and working on yourself by doing a job like an engagement in youth rights, or preparing a film festival or doing some cultural work, etc. - it's domaine of works is pretty various, but al of them require working with people) and I have to write a cover letter, but it has to be pretty general because I have to write only one letter wich will be used in all my applys. Also, people reading this kind of letter pretty much are students, young people, so I figured it would be better not to write so formal as usally. Or I'm I wrong?
I'd be very grateful if you'd give me any suggestions how to improve my letter writen below this text and if you could point out my gramatical mistakes, I'm sure there are a lot of them.
Thanks a lot, lots of kisses from Croatia!

Salut!

My name is ---, I'm a 22 years old student at 3rd year of french and philosophy at ---. When finding out of this kind of volunteering I immediately knew I want to be a part of it. With this letter I would like to apply for the participation as a volunteer in your EVS project and through it I'd like to bring you closer how deeply I would like to become a part of your team and why I think you'd make a great decision choosing me.
You're probably asking yourself why I'm so sure of myself and what is that what I can offer more than someone else? Well...

As I already mentioned, being a student of french language and it's literature and also being an admirer of it's country's great history and rich culture, I'm really eager to develop my language skills and to improve my speaking french whilst gaining valuable experience and knowledge. As well, I'd like to learn about other cultures and various people.

I started to learn french not before my first year of college so this kind of opportunity would mean a great deal for my professional as well for my personal improvement. I'm an highly motivated, hard-working, tolerante and dynamic individual with expressed comunicating and organisation skills. During my time as a student I gathered a big amount of experinece in working with people in wide range of jobs (being a promotor, hostese, waitresse) that I did as a member of the Student Service in my city. I also volunteered at animal shelter for two years (Noina arka) and I have participated in our Society of francophone students in Croatia for two years now. In year 2005. I went through a training curse to be an animator at seaside resorts.

Like you see, I have kept myself busy.

Well, doing all that I learned I enjoy working with people and that it fullfills me. And I'm really good at it. I easily adopt in any work enviroment and in working as a part of a group. Although neither an individual work that requires an initiative and responsable person with a sens of personal organisation doesn't represent any problem to me; I act equally good in both surroundings and I cope effectively with all kinds of demands put in front of me.

I'm a computer literate and I speak, read and use both english and french. But I also think that there's a lot more work in front of me to achieve a level of a perfectly spoken french. Passively I use slovenian and I also learned deaf-mute language for a year.

Privatly, I like sports and dancing. Depending of my free time and my mood I ride my bike, I swimm, I run. But for the past year I put myself mostly in ballet dancing lessons which I really enjoy. Also I adore to read. Everything. Wether(?) it's a daily or weekly press, all sorts of magazines, romans, Internet sites â from yellow pages to scientific articles, arts to love themes â I swallow it all in one breath. Any gatherings or activities of all kinds including people spending time together always will drow my attention. I'm a big filmophile and I enjoy music. And if you add a good cup of coffee with a fresh croissant accompanying it, plus my family and friends, with whom I share all my interests and free time, that's my winning choice.

I'm sure you have already got an idea of how much I'd like to come and become a player in your team, but all the same, I'll use one more opportunity to express how strongly I desire to volounteer in your EVS project and how I'm convicted I have a lot to contribute with my experience and personality as your team member. The changes and all the adjustements that I would be confronted with do not frighten me, moreover, they challenge me. All potential shortfalls that will occure I'm willing to compensate with my maximum effort and doing my best. I'm very ambitious, prepaired to learn and ready to adopt new skills. I would be very gratefull if you'd give me a chance to represent all my qualities and ambitions in person, working for you. As I already said, this opportunity means to me a lot and represents a big possibility in enriching myself as a person as well as developing myself in professional sense.

I thank you for your time spent reading this letter and I hope for a positive response. If you have any questions, please contact me through --- or my perssonal e-mail address ---

I look forward to hearing from you.

Best regards,

I have to apply for this job, it's in the Hotel and Tourism branch and I had to write a cover letter. So, could you please check my letter for slips in the grammar and so forth!? I would be very thankful, cuz my english isn't as good as yours.

To Whom It May Concern

I am writing to ask if there might be a vacant position in your hotel business, which I would gladly consider during my Canada stay at your department.

Since the hotel and tourism branch arouse curiosity and interest in me, it would be one of my biggest purposes to realize these specific direction.

With the cooperation of the AYUSA Work&Travel program would I like to become acquainted to the international tourism, and also gain valuable experiences for my life career. And I am as well hoping through this external work to dedicate further knowledge and qualifications in terms of the hotel business. I expect also to extend my horizon and improve my English at the same time.

On the basis of my self-assessment, I feel myself as very motivated and purposeful, to be able to cope with a heavy workload and as well to work in a team.

I would like to work for your company a whole year beginning of January. I am flexible and willing to work in all relevant areas in your company.

One of my biggest goals would it be to find an apprenticeship in the hotel business.

At the moment I am doing an internship in an esteemed German luxury hotel, in order to prepare my practical abilities for the foreign stay.

Enclosed are resume and copies of my certificates. I would very much welcome the opportunity to function with your company and would appreciate your prompt reply. Thank you very much for your help.

Yours faithfully,

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 .

Hello everybody,

I want to ask you to read and check my cover letter. English is not my mother tongue so there might be some mistakes. What is more, this is my first try to write sth like that. Thank you very much for reading this.

To whom it may concern

I am writing to apply for the Bachelorâs Degree program in Media Practices at the University of ***.

I have always been interested in media and the way it affects different people. Thinking about my future career I see myself in a position which is related to mass communications and media productions. I want to be able to make decisions, to think and to use my theoretical knowledge practically. Problem solving is something that really excites me. I feel that I need a job where I can experience something new every day. After reading about the modules that Media Arts students take, I felt that I finally found something that really fits me.

Studying at the University of *** is a perfect choice for me both academically and experientially. As the university is well-known for its Media Arts courses, I expect to be able to start a successful career after I graduate. What is more, I have a passion for travel and understanding different cultures. So possibility to meet students from all over the world who are interested in media is of something that I put much value upon. I hope that diversity and academical excellence of the Bachelorâs program will bring out the best in me.

I believe that I am a suitable person to study Media Arts at your university. I like to communicate with people and I am very interested in what other people think. I know the values of teamwork and hard work as these are the cornerstones of success. What is more, I never give because the harder you try, the better you feel when you finally win. And success is something that makes my world turn around.

Thank you very much for considering my request. I am looking forward to the opportunity to study at your university and to making a great contribution to your community.

Yours faithfully,
