Covering letter for a job application?

Covering Letter UK - please help?

  • I wrote a covering letter for a job application (UK). However everything seems so wrong to me somehow... I'd be happy if someone could review it and tell me some things i should change. (Maybe a native speaker.) Thank you very much! Here it is: Dear Sir or Madam Application for the position of 2D Artist/ Animator I have seen your job offer in Edge magazine and would like to apply for the position of 2D Artist and Animator with your company. On October 7th 2010 I successfully graduated from full-time vocational school specialising in Computer Science for Media- and Game Development. During my course I have gained an adequate knowledge of creating the conceptual design, designing and programming games - especially using Adobe Flash and Action Script. Drawing and designing have always been my passion and I love to work on projects with lots of creativity. Through various group projects I am experienced in working in a team and have developed strong communication skills. I am very motivated and always eager to learn and gain new experience. Due to having studied English for nine years now and a three months work experience in the UK I have acquired solid knowledge of written as well as spoken English. I would welcome the chance to work as a part of your dynamic team. Thank you for considering my application. I am looking forward to hearing from you. Yours faithfully Schmitt Lydia

  • Answer:

    Lydia I'd take the word adequate out of the 6th line of your letter. It makes it sound like you do not have enough. You could put in the word good instead. Other than that it looks ok to me

Its not bad actually. Just re-write each paragraph again, and speak it out loud a few times to get the flow working nicely. Swap things around to try and get the most graceful flow for each point you are making. The studying english bit is clumsy. Say you are moving to london soon, have studied english for 9 years, and your 3 months UK work experience has made you feel more at home in the UK. And you written and spoken english is excellent. Add something about the specific work their company does (online?) and how you find it interesting/exciting, and also add your course details after you name: Schmitt Lydia (Bsc CGDes) or what ever it is.
