Jobs/Vacancies / Re: Can This Be A Nice Way To Sell Myself, Hope This Pays!!! Fingers Crossed by Zschief: 5:51pm On Apr 15, 2017 |
Mustay:
It is a nice way to sell yourself, this is more like a cover letter in the body of the email but general tips for you here:
1. Make it brief. Particularly for an unsolicited application, people generally scan through the first few paragraphs and the last sentences.
2. Grandioseness: Inasmuch as you are trying to impress the recipient, remember the golden rule, KISS. KEEP IT STRAIGHTFORWARD & SIMPLE. Don't use unnecessary grammar or jargons.
Your introduction could have been more concise than it is. You do not want the reader to lose interest in the first few sentences.
Another example is this:
"I am a graduate with strong interest and succession in acquiring bachelors in engineering ( Water Resources Engineering)"
Which one is it Have you 'acquired' or not? In the process, you have left the reader confused as to whether you're a graduate or an undergraduate.
3. Punctuation: Your first paragraph is so long that seeing the period was like achieving eureka state of mind. Breakdown your sentences to be readable and understandable. A lot of your sentences are too complex. Use commas, periods and semicolons appropriately.
4. Tautology: Nigerians like to emphasise and in this process, we repeat words unnecessarily. Some words we make use of in our sentences are redundant and add up to the word count.
5. Getting Personal: Whether it's business or employment, avoid the "we vs them" syndrome; adopt "us" instead. I see you using 'The Company', 'this organisation' or 'the firm'. Use the name of the firm, adopt their language and make it look like you're part of the team. In fact, you ought to be making use of the firm's values etc and tweak it towards your own strengths etc.
6. Salutation: Since you're using Dear Sir/Ma, it should be 'Yours Faithfully'. Use 'Yours Sincerely' when you know the name of the addresses which you should or can actually find out. Nigeria will be a better place if every other person becomes responsible.lnstead of insensitive comments,u fancy helping a brother...All observations towards pinpointing relevance and importance to areas of emphasis,the young man need to thank you.

For instance Say na me be one wey dey give chance Say na me be one wey dey make plans For all man to benefit Abi to make we disagree Abi na to create chance But now am not of importance Cos now I am looking from a distance That's why you give them the chance To turns us ...to turns to victim of circumstance Them just dey ignore our existence Them just dey use excuse buy chance Like them no know say we dey Them dey use us dey play ... When we stand for resistance All in the act of exploitance Abi we just be living in a trance Ayi oh! my God! Ala Oyi e!

This thing is affecting your thing And is killing your soul... Ala Oyi e! See this type of thing we we dey feel They make me dey want to dey... Ala Oyi e! Even if I want to dey cheat I go still dey want to dey... Ala Oyi e! Stand look around you I bet you go dey want to dey... Ala Oyi e! Ala Oyi e! for the thing wey u see wey make you Ala Oyi e!
For instance Say na me be Baale of Nigerians Say na me be one wey dey make plan Say I go create a scenery where better go plenty Make we dey give chance Instead to dey pack the money go France To make suffer to full in abundance To make me run run away To a place where ebi say I go feel like Europeans Where them go respect my skills for instance Where them no go dey play pranks Ontop people wey work the way Wey give them the key To chop substance As them know say we be freelance Their looting no dey give us assurance Repentance no dey their plane E dey create annoyance for my heart So Ala Oyi e!
