Dear Sir/Mdm,
Re: Application for the position of Product Specialist
I am writing in response to the Product Specialist position advertised online at www.jobstreet.com.sg on August 19, 2009. Here, I have enclosed my resume and certificates.
As a fresh graduate with a Bachelor of Science in Life Science from National University of Singapore (NUS), I would like to use my relevant knowledge to create more revenue opportunities for your company. My specialization in Biomedical Science also enhances my experience in the laboratory environment during my course of study. Next, I would like to be able to tap on the knowledge I have gained working with the sales and marketing team during my internship to contribute to better business development for ITS Science & Medical Pte Ltd. With my experience in the service line, I am confident that I would be able to meet up the high service standards provided by your company with all that I had learnt.
Well-equipped in Microsoft Office, I am able to not only use these programs (Microsoft Words, Microsoft Powerpoint and Microsoft Excel) for administrative work, but to provide substantial presentations as well. I possessed a Class 3 driving license and my own transport which will be useful to the job. With good interpersonal skills, I aimed to build and maintain good relationships with all customers.
I love interacting with people and I believe that that would help me to adapt to the job position without much difficulty. I strived for excellence which I believed would be one of the key strength for success in this position.
I can be reached anytime at 96908888. Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to hearing from you about this employment opportunity.
Kind regards,
Hazel Lee

Hi Hazel,
ReplyDeleteYou have the relevant experience in sales and marketing to the job requirements. However, I think it would be an even better idea for you to put down the name of the company which you had your internship previously. In addition, it would be great if you include one to two sentences to briefly describe your role in the sales and marketing team.
It is a great idea that you have included your personality trait in the second last paragraph and how its relevance to the position.
Thank you for your post and I have learned much!
Hi Hazel,
ReplyDeleteThe overall format of this letter is fantastic. I think you just forgot your enclosure.
As a whole, this letter is very concise, clear.The part where you mentioned having relevant skills such as using MS office and even driving are thoughtful as I believe most of you will overlook this part and I agree with Xiu Ling that your inclusion about you personality is well thought.
I'm not sure if you mention that you possess your own transport is necessary. It reflect you family background is quite well to do since you can afford a car (in Singapore) when you are fresh graduate. Feel free to correct my perception if I am wrong
Thank you for your efforts =)
Hello Hazel =)
ReplyDeleteI think your application letter is well-done with clear points. For the interpersonal skills you mentioned in the third paragraph, it would be more impressive if it could be backed up with some evidences or events.
In addition, from the job description, the requirement of teamwork was highlighted. It would be good to emphasize this point more in your application letter.
I like the friendly yet polite tone in your application letter. Good job! Thanks for sharing =)

Hi Hazel,
ReplyDeletethe content of your application letter is well thought of. You managed to show your employer that you have met all the requirements needed to take up the job by mentioning your past job experience and personality traits.
However, you may want to elaborate more on your internship - the 'Who' (The organization) and 'what' (Your job scope).
There is a small language error in your third paragraph. It should be 'well-equipped with Microsoft Office skills,...' instead of 'Well-equipped in Microsoft Office,...'. Correct me if I am wrong :)
In contrary to Patrick's comments, mentioning that you have a Class 3A license is relevant as it is one of the requirements as stated. Sales-related jobs usually require employees to travel around and meet clients. Hence, possessing a license will give you an edge over the rest who do not have one.:)
Cheers,

Hi Hazel,
ReplyDeleteI feel that you can improve on linking the requirements and responsibilities into the points in your letter. For example, "my specialization in Biomedical Science provided me with suitable background knowledge of the scientific equipments". Hope it is correct. :p
In addition, maybe you can elaborate on your experience in the service line and how it taught you to build good relationships with customers?
Nice application letter as a whole. See you on Thursday! :)

Hey everyone,
ReplyDeleteThank you for your suggestive comments. It helps me to improve on my application letter =).
Cheers,

Hello Hazel,
ReplyDeleteLooks like many of our classmates have already commented on your post! Hope you don’t mind if I still have a couple of things to add.
From the job advertisement, it seems that one of the key requirements for working at this company is to be able to work well with others. It is emphasized twice that they want team players. I feel that it would be beneficial for you to list out more ways in which you have demonstrated your ability to work well in a team. In addition, you wrote “With good interpersonal skills, I aimed to build and maintain good relationships with all customers.” I think that you should list out the type of interpersonal skills you have instead of just saying you have good interpersonal skills without any evidences to back up your claim.
Lastly, there are some minor errors in terms of language. For example, you wrote, “I possessed a Class 3 driving license” and “I strived for excellence” etc. All these should be written in the present tense since you still possess a Class 3 driving license and you still strive for excellence.
Hope you will find my comments useful! :)
Cheers
Russell
Hi Patrick and Kesleen,
ReplyDeleteIn relation to your opinions if I should have wrote "I possessed a Class 3 driving license and my own transport which will be useful to the job", I think I would edit the statement to simply "I possessed a Class 3 driving license".
In this case, I agree with Patrick that I shouldn't talk about having own transport and at the same time, I agree withe Kesleen that I should mention about my possession of a driving license since it is stated as one of the job requirements.
Thank you for all your editing! =).
