Application Letter
Hi Jun Lin,
ReplyDeleteYour application letter looks very professional! You make it very clear that you are an attractive candidate. You mention that you have participated in organizations and a specific committee, but you don’t write anything about why this makes you a better candidate for the job. Maybe you could add something about what skills this has given you or that is witnesses about some of the skills that you have.
In general the language is very good. But you have a couple of declarative sentences, maybe you could try to change these.
The overall impression is very good. Besides the fact that you don’t have the required work experienced I am very convinced that you are fit for the job. Good luck with the further process.
Best regards,
Annika
Hey Annika,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the compliment. Anyway, can you give me some examples of declarative sentences in my letter? Your comment and feedback will be one of my references for final editing of this application letter =)
Hey Jun Lin!
ReplyDeleteYour application letter is well structured and concised. However, there are a few things to take note of:
1) Job requirements: At least 1 year experience in related working field. I think with no experience working yet, you might not secure the interview.
2)Format: The date can replace where the line is. Instead of the right hand side of the letter.
3)The opening paragraph is very important! As it tells the reader a lot about the applicant. Hence, the grammatical errors may affect the reader from reading on. For eg, instead of saying " I read in the 30th August Straits Times classfied section..." you can phrase it " I came across the job application for a Research Officer in Computer Graphics and Interface on 30th August 2010 in The Straits Times."
4)Also, I think using the right words to express ourselves is important too. As this may reflect on our level of maturity. Personally, I wouldnt say I passed the modules with flying colours cause it does sound very primary-school-ish. Perhaps you can say, you received excellent credits for those subjects. Just my personal preference :PP
5) You can talk more about your 6month industrial attachment. To which company? What did you do?
6) "Participating in some organizations" What organisations? What did you do? Its better to explain abit more to substantiate your claims.
7)There are grammatical errors and wrong sentence structures too.. Better to get it proofread before sending it to the company okay???
Overall, I think the flow and organisation of thoughts is good.
Jia you!
The format of the application letter looks good. And you have taken good effort too.
ReplyDeleteThe first paragraph should be catchy. But here it looks kind of vague because of the sentence framing. Be careful while writing the first paragraph because you should have this in mind “The first impression is the best impression”.
Passing on to the technical skills, you have mentioned that you have experience in C, C++ and JAVA. As a Computer Engineering student, I can tell you that OpenCV, OpenGL and GPU are all related to graphic designing and here you have not mentioned any skills relevant to this field. Note that they have asked for a solid experience in it. Even in your first paragraph you have described your job as Officer in Computer Graphics and Interface. If you are sure about doing graphic designing you should have at least included the relevant courses that you have taken in University.
You have discussed about the industrial attachment twice in your letter which shows repetition. In the industrial attachment part you could probably mention the actual field in which you worked.
Overall I can say that this application letter is more suitable for software programming rather than graphics designer. So try to write the application letter such that it fulfills all the job requirements. That is the basic thing in writing an application letter.
Anyways I wish you all the best for your dream job.
Hi Jun Lin,
ReplyDeleteI think that you've increased the attractiveness of your letter with lots of relevant experiences and knowledge in relation to the job.
In addition to Gen's point about the 1-year work experience, perhaps a solution would be to use your 6 months industrial attachment experience to prove your capability. :)
Just another suggestion, instead of writing about the 6 months attachment in paragraph 2, you could actually state it in paragraph 3 since you're elaborating on the attachment in that paragraph. It makes it look more complete?
Other than that, I think you've put in lots of effort in writing the application letter. Keep it up! ^^
