Dear Sir,

My name is XYZ, a graduate of Electrical Electronic Engineering  from University of Benin,a dynamic and result driven enthusiast with business management related engagement seeking for an opening as a warehouse manager and I believe my experience, academic skills and training in engineering field will make me a better candidate for this job.
 
‎I have over the years acquired proven key skills with vast experience as a project engineer preparing technical and commercial tender document for potential contract/project while managing key operational facilities within challenging and changing oil and gas sector and I know this requisite experience will complement my application for this job role in your organization. 

My career within the oil and gas sector demonstrates comprehensive understanding of Facility Management with Business Development skills which was built over seven(7) years working experience supervising and coordinating product receipt and trucking out of product on a continual basis, taking inventory of stock records considering quantity received, loss and tank product was received into, training of staff on relevant courses and daily personal interactions that help reduce conflict amongst workers.

As a project engineer and currently a depot supervisor, my work schedule include but not limited to day to day supervision of operation within the depot, preparation of tender documents from RFQ, planning a robust schedule for maintenance and repair of faulty equipment both fixed and mobile that ensures reduced operational breakdown and downtime, managing limited operational float while achieving set targets, preparation of dayend sales report, taking stock record and carrying out stock reconciliation, representing company in pre-bid meeting, preparation of MoM and site visit.

My work ethics, training and experience has enabled me manage and deliver team training to multi-cultured and multi-disciplined teams through control  of internal process, focus on targeted KPIs, reporting structure and managing human and material resources available to achieve company objectives and goals.

I also have good interpretation of Piping and Instrumentation design drawing, knowledge of the use of Primavera software and Microsoft Project Management software for scheduling and monitoring of project to ensure timely completion of cost effective projects.

I look forward to an opportunity for interview to discuss more about my experience, expertise and skills as they relate to this job opening in your organization .‎

An job application-letter should be written with care. Do mention why you are fit for this role. Highlight you strengths ,skills.Don't forget to include your related experience needed for the the job.At last do include a cover letter as managers are very busy people. Keep your application letter short and simple! If you dont know the format how to write an application letter then here is the format-

Jonwesley:


Really, what is this fashionista saying? Yes that I didn't have all that time to correct the errors, doesn't mean I can't say the obvious noticeable errors there. It's funny that people like the poster of that application, even though it was posted 10 years ago who to me has a lot of inadequacies in writing essay and particularly an Application letter could boldly come on a forum like this to display his writing prowess which is far below average.

It would have been humble enough to ask for help or be guided rather than putting a half baked or a poorly written application as a model for others, and in the process attracting all manner of responses from people that includes those ignorant than him and who woul have thought they have gotten a model to follow. A blind man leading a blind man, will they not both fall into a ditch?

There is so much to correct in that application and please permit me to let it go for now, just as Jarus (whom i have so much respect for) also has responded to. The total presentation is wrong, apart from the spelling errors. The usage of the word, "extreme" is uncalled for, in his attempt to show his likeness for the position. Again, there are so many 'I this or that' in that application which shows arrogance or too much to self and an unnecessary glorification. Imagine claiming 'rapid promotion' by his previous employees, too boastful and full of pride. For crying out loud he attached a curriculum vitae to the application which ordinarily has the details of his past and other things. He demanded the company to call his phone line, uhuhhh, No!, Nevertheless that he used 'Kindly'.

Having titled the application for the post, why stating it again in the first line of the first paragraph,.....

A normal first paragraph of an application ought to be direct and formal, an example could be:

With reference to the advert placement (or replace with "advertisement) of 19th April, 2016 in the Guardian Newspaper regarding the above subject, I hereby apply for the position. This is very formal, this removes all the likes of 'extreme', 'interest', etc.

You don't decide for yourself that your qualifications, skills, etc are perfect fit for the position, you are meant to submit for them to make that consideration. Again it shows a person who is full of pride.

Please, note that my correction is not only on the original poster, but also on others "I too know" contributions that are also full of blunders. I have taken all together in this piece. I beg you, let me rest here for now.


could you please share your email address?
