Dear Ms Wong,
In response to your ad on the JobStreet website, I would like to apply for the position of Recruitment cum Human Resource Officer. I have just graduated from the National University of Singapore with a Bachelors Degree (First Class Honours) in Lifescience and believe that I possess the necessary credentials for the job. This job appealed to me as I am very much interested in Human Resource and I enjoy working with healthcare professionals.
The biomedical curriculum I have undergone as well as the undergraduate research project I was involved in have given me ample opportunities to work with representatives from Pharmaceutical companies and healthcare workers. This puts me in a good position to be recruiting healthcare workers as I will be able to spot talent in the specific science fields.
Serving as the Secretary for the Red Cross NUS Chapter AY09/10 has allowed me to come into close contact with various professionals in the healthcare department. These contacts I have formed over the years will allow me to network with them, understand the current market trend and actively source out for potential candidates.
I also held the position of Human Resource Director for Project RICE, one of the major Red Cross projects. As the HR Director I had to source out and recruit over 300 committed volunteers. Conducting volunteer briefings and entertaining their queries has honed my communication and interpersonal skills. Working on numerous projects as part of a team has made me a good team player. However, the added individual responsibilities has allowed me to develop as a confident, independent worker.
In addition to these practical experiences, the business modules I have completed in NUS accord me the knowledge needed in developing business models or plans for your company.
My qualifications are well suited to the goals and expectations of your company. I welcome an opportunity to discuss how my experience and skills can be of service to your company. I thank you for your consideration and look forward to meeting with you.
Yours Sincerely,
Divya Dharshini Harikrishan

Hi guys,
ReplyDeleteSorry about the spacing in the post. Somehow, the spacing just does not agree with me. It keeps running. I promise it looks perfect on Word.
Divya:)
Hi Div,
ReplyDeleteI can totally understand the spacing problem. I found out a "trick" to get around this by copying from MS Word to Notepad first before copying to Blogger. This should solve the problem.
Anyway, back to your post. You mentioned about possessing the necessary credentials for the job in the first paragraph. I was thinking maybe it will be better if you can be clearer here and state those key characteristics of yours which are fitting for this position.
Then, I also realise that you have mentioned about almost similar "takeaway" skill of spotting potential employees in both the second and third paragraphs. Do you think it would be better to talk about a different skill set for your undergraduate research project?
Then, in the fourth paragraph, in this sentence, "Conducting volunteer briefings...", I guess it would be more appropriate to change the "has" to "have".

Hi Divya,
ReplyDeleteThis is really a good application letter as you have related all your past experiences and your qualifications well to the job requirements. Besides that it is concise and clear.
However you seem to have missed 1 points which is about the sport.

Hi Divya,
ReplyDeleteI would like to suggest some minor corrections:
In your first paragraph, you wrote "This job appealed to me as I am very much interested in...". Maybe you should change "appealed" to "appeals"? Using the past tense seems to me like it no longer appeals to you.
In your second last paragraph, you wrote "However, the added personal responsibilites has...". Perhaps you could change "However" to "At the same time", and "has" to "have".
Other than that, you did a good job in matching your experiences with the skills required for the position. All the best for your job application!

Hey divs, your draft is great. I have no corrections to make apart from what the others have pointed out.
ReplyDeleteHowever, I do want to point out something very minor. I think you should use words like "I believe" or "In my opinion" right before making statements like "My qualifications are well suited to the goals and expectations of your company". Because, when you mention it straight, it seems as though you are stating it very matter-of-factly. This may come across wrongly to the receiver if he/she reads into the minutest nuance. However, by putting words like "I believe" (albeit redundant if you really think about it), it sounds laden with some humility. Once again, it boils down to impressions so it is better to play safe and use such words.
All the best!

Hi Divya,
ReplyDeleteSome points I would like to highlight:
1) In the second paragraph, ‘The biomedical curriculum I have undergone as well as the undergraduate research project I was involved in…’ could possibly be made more concise. You could replace it with ‘The biomedical curriculum and undergraduate research project I had undertaken…’
2) At the end of the third paragraph, ‘..and actively source out for potential candidates.’ I think dropping the word ‘for’ would be better.
3) Would it be better to showcase some other activities that you did in order to portray yourself as having persistency and team spirit?
4) I also agree with Xian Rui that you have missed out mentioning anything about sports which is one of the criteria stated.
Overall I think your letter is written well and focused. I am sure you will get your first interview with this letter.
