Hi Peiling!
ReplyDeleteIt's good that you mentioned and specify the different kinds of laboratory techniques that you had learnt in school. You've made sure that you covered some of the more important points of the job requirements in your letter, for eg the fact that you have knowledge of GMP. =).
Perhaps you can elaborate more on the various projects that you were inolved during you internship in OMG Electronic Chemicals?
Overall, I found it well-written. =).
Thanks for sharing!

Hi peipei~
ReplyDeleteThe tone of your letter sounds courteous and confident. It is great that you mentioned you are able to multi-task and provide service. But there are a few points that you may need to emphasize.
In your 2nd paragraph, you mentioned that you are familiarized with analytical equpiment and GMP, but you did not mention where you learnt to operate the machines and protocols. Perhaps you can elaborate during your internship experience?
You missed out 2 job requirements though, Organized and Responsible. You could relate it with one of your part-time job experience.
Overall, your letter is very concise and relevant to the job requirement.
=D

Hey Peiling,
ReplyDeleteI like how you phrase your first sentence in the 2nd paragraph.It shows how passionate you are in contributing to the healthcare industry.=)
However, there are slight grammatical errors, like in this sentence 'These have equipped me with good interpersonal...' perhaps you might want to change it to 'It has...' to specify the past time jobs.
It is good that you mention what you did as an intern.i think it can be improved by giving 1 liner examples to show how you can meet the requirements you've missed out.
on the whole, your letter is well written!I have learnt much from your letter too=)
Hi Peiling,
ReplyDeleteI notice a minor error in the the last sentence of the 1st paragraph. Do take note of it and make the necessary changes.
Do take note of what Brad mentioned on the last tutorial- the weird expressions which many of us made.
On the whole, the letter is well-written. Maybe you can make it better by saying "the skills I acquired are transferable to the job and I'm confident that I'll make a suitable candidate".
Love,
Shiny
Pei Ling,
ReplyDeleteYour letter is clear and concise. Apart from this, it is quite relevant to the employer's requirement too.
However, I think you may elaborate on your working experience to make your statement more convincing. For example, " In this position, I have received compliments on my excellent customer service. These have equipped me with good interpersonal and communication skills which will enable me to deliver my work with greater efficiency. " We know that you received compliment, but what exactly was it about?
In addition, you may add in some information of your CCA because CCA can serve as a good example of your problem-solving skills and multi-task ability.
On the whole, the letter satisfy what the employer needs and indeed it is an impressive one. =)
Cheers,
Zhi Peng
