Letter of Motivation?

Mr X
Street … … …
77 777 P. ..
P. .. on 19/10/00
Madame, Monsieur,
I wish to apply for site engineering business, you have posted on the site ……com.
Why this job interests me there? I think it would operate all the skills I have acquired in the past. If my studies (OTC Industrial Computing) gave me the knowledge and technical know-how, my first professional experiences successively Dell and Microsoft, have given me extra knowledge in marketing. In both companies, I have indeed worked in the post-sales and consultancy. I think today that a fairly versatile, capable of mastering both the technical aspects, with my engineering degree and business strategies. On the other hand, two long stays abroad (6 months in the United States, and 4 months in England) I was familiar with a language and culture different from ours. I think it would be a plus in an international company like yours. Besides, I developed a great capacity to adapt to a foreign environment.
My salary requirements amount to 230 KF per year, which seems reasonable given my background.
Hoping to have more from you soon.
Best regards.
Form Tips
The letter is direct and short, two advantages to this type of communication. It exudes a feeling of youth and vitality that can, given the type of position referred to, constitute a real advantage.
However, the general style is not appropriate to approach the company. Examples: The word up in business engineering indicates a cultural shift with the demands we are entitled to expect a candidate for such a function. He should have used the word function or mission.
I think he exploited all, this formulation betrays a poor command of French, we should say in this case I think this feature would allow me to use the skills acquired in the past.
It is the same formula for the conclusion of the paragraph on security: Replace claims and demands by the light of my journey through: what seems to be the value of my professional experience.
Tips background
We would have liked better understand what lies behind the evocation of technical knowledge, additional knowledge, post sales services. Without giving an exhaustive analysis of his career, Mr. X should have given some specific and tangible insights of what he says.
Despite the reservations mentioned below, one can appreciate the section devoted to visits made by the candidate abroad. This letter is part of concrete, specific, and is, therefore, proof of his ability to speak the language and adapt to different contexts.
The major error:
The letter is not specific enough, resulting in a feeling of soft focus on the professional background of the candidate.
Tips and motivation for woman
Posted by admin in Carson Tips on February 8, 2009
To succeed in life as a woman, there are a few rules to follow … here’s why.
Although a successful life means to be happy, feel good, grow, have a good job, have friends, be in harmony with people around us, be proud of his children achieve their dreams, be the right place at right time. Does this seem impossible?
Although a successful life is possible and I can tell you how. First, make a list of everything that bothers you, you done wrong. This list should be detailed and carefully prepared. It must contain everything that prevents you from feeling good and happy. Remember, nothing! From your dog dirty floor through the journey that you never think to do.
Once this list is prepared, choose the 10 most destructive entry for you at this time. This may be the lack of money or the loss of a loved one. Separate the 10 items on a separate sheet. Once the 10 worst destructive identified, plan one or several possible solutions for each of 10 sections.
Although successful life requires action! Your healing work to not end here … It must now take action and to initiate all necessary efforts to eliminate the 10 problems mentioned above. Even the worst problems have a solution! Go ahead, one problem at a time. Start with the first on your list. So how can you solve it?
It is very important to remain realistic and achievable solutions with the means at our disposal. Nothing is to develop military strategies hell if the problem can be solved by a simple: “Well, you live with me, I do not want you here, you have 2 days to your luggage.”
Yes, for many successful life, he must leave his guilt aside and rush! Yes, to do well his life is about to hurt some people and think first of oneself. Yes, to do well his life is about being selfish. But never forget this, those who make you suffer now, are selfish, only think of themselves, do not feel guilty for hurting you …
You see … it’s important to think so well for a successful life.
Once you’ve begun to resolve your problems and to clean around you and in your life, you will already see a difference. Your morale will go better. Your smile will fill your face again.
Although successful life begins with finding solutions to their problems.
Good luck!
