Dear Hiring Manager,
I am a fresh graduate from the National University of Singapore and would like to apply for the job position of an Analytical Development Chemist in your company. I came across your advertisement online and wish to write in a personal letter to apply for this job.
The opportunity presented in this listing is very interesting, and I believe that my strong internship experience and education will make me a very competitive candidate for this position. While working in L’Oreal Singapore Pte Ltd, I had to work closely with my colleagues on a major project that required us to re-notify a large amount of products within a limited amount of time. However, I was focused and detailed and managed to efficiently complete the task before the deadline.
In addition, I have collaborated with other international supervisors during my internship in UC Berkeley Lab and interacted well with them. On top of this, during this short time span, I worked on a project independently and produced excellent results for the lab.
Please see my resume for additional information on my experience.
Thank you for considering me as a suitable applicant. I can be reached anytime at the contact information provided above.
Sincerely,
Katie Lim

  1. Dear Yi Bei,

    a have already commented on your post yesterday but somehow it didn't work.. thats why I'm giving my feedback again..

    - Your application letter is very standardized. You only mention the name of the company you are applying in the address part and you don't really refer to the the details of the job advertisement. You could specify more why you are interested in working in this particular company and in this particular position. Otherwise they may think that you have just sent out the same letter to a lot of different companies..

    - Furthermore I think it would be good if you give more detailed examples of your previous work experience. Maybe you could just write out some of the bullet points in your CV in full.

    Good luck with your application :)

    Regards,
    Tobi
