Dear Mr. Tan,

First Paragraph

The first paragraph of your letter should include: What position you are applying for. Where you found the job listing.

Example: I was referred to you by Mr. Peter Jan, a Partner with your organization, who informed me that General Electric job at NY office is currently available.

Middle Paragraph(s)

In these paragraphs, you should describe in details what you have to offer the company.

You always should note that you make strong connections between your competencies and their job specification.

You should pay attention to: Do not repeat resume. Try to write this letter just in an A4. Just show key elements of your competencies that match to job specs.

These paragraphs can include contents as follows:

  • Knowledge and education: Degrees. All certificates related to this job. Licenses.
  • Experience: you also mention some task that match with job specification, for example
  • Do list tasks of this position here.
  • Skills: Professional skills. Soft skills. Management skills
  • Abilities
  • Final Paragraph

    You should thank the employer for the position. Of course it will include information on how you will follow-up.

    Sincerely,

    John Tan
