I still remember the day of 2 years ago, when I was looking for a job in Marketing field. Based on my background and working experience, I could only apply for a position as an executive or a trainee. For that position, I had successfully find a job in Unilever – the leading company in FMCG field. That job exactly suited me well, so I made up my mind to write a letter on the purpose of applying for the vacancy in that company. According to the information provided in the recruitment post, I contacted HR Department to sent my CV as well as cover letter, letting them know more about me.

In the letter, I wrote a lot about myself, including my introduction, academic performance, related working experience. Besides, I also included my strength, weakness and my expectation for the job I applied for in the letter. The most important content, I think, was my willingness to work and contribute to the whole company. By including those contents in my letter, I hope that they can get to know more about me, thus, choose me for that position. Finally, I thanked them and expressed my hope to receive their reply and being able to meet them in person so that they can judge my potential for the position they were recruiting.

Fortunately, I got the position I had applied for as soon as I sent the email. Now, I’ve been promoted to a senior position already, but I still remember the letter which marks a turning point in my career.
