Yes, it is time to apply for some spring-break jobs. And I have one I'm trying to apply for, in the industrial industry, and they of course require a personal letter and a CV.
Now, the CV is just about done, but the Personal Letter is a lot trickier.
I basically want/need to keep it really short, and cover some basics. To note is that in Sweden it is rather frowned upon to inflate ones abilities or brag overtly much when seeking a job.
I would be rather greatfull for any help or advice.

I'm applying in the last hour, that's for sure. I still have some small hope tho. It's just in my nature I guess.
I have been rather insecure and hesitant about applying for anything before today, it's the same every year.
I did a few calls and actually sent an e-mail to a company within the latest hour tho. I'm also going to have a word with a friend of mine if there's any open jobs at the printing-house that he works at tonight.

Introduce yourself, say why you'd like the job and why you think you're suited to it. Keep it brief but enthusiastic.Predabot wrote:

Thanks for the advice Spidey. I think I may have been a bit too dry in the letter that I sent, but otherwise I think it was on cue.spiderfrommars wrote:Introduce yourself, say why you'd like the job and why you think you're suited to it. Keep it brief but enthusiastic.Predabot wrote:

PS: Could you please check your PM-inbox? I sent one that is kinda important.
