An impressive cover letter which follows closely to all the 7Cs. Your strong interest in the company was clearly highlighted through the whole letter and I see no reason why the company to reject you.
ReplyDeleteHowever, I felt that the part on your past experience wasn't clear enough. You mention that you had an opportunity to deal with trade bill settlements but you did not include why and where you had a chance to do so. Since you had such experience, I felt that you should emphasis on it and use it to your advantage.
I would say that this is a remarkable cover letter. The flow of the letter felt good and each paragraph was clear and concise. You certainly did adhere to the 7Cs in writing. An additional positive of this letter is that I can feel your sincerity. From your letter it is easy to tell that you have strong interest in the job and joining the company.
ReplyDeleteIf you could elaborate and emphasize more on your past experiences that would make your cover letter even better.
