Cover Letter (Part 6): Another Example


The idea behind sharing this cover letter with you is to show you  that when it comes to creativity:

Don't be sacred to stretch your limits!!!


Given below is the Job Advertisement that appeared on a job board here in New Zealand.

Here is the Cover Letter























Analysis:

  • The candidate has let loose his creativity in this cover letter
  • Advertisement specifically asked for someone who prides themselves with code writing; the candidate wrote a static & dynamic code on this cover letter
  • Observe the greeting message in the code, "I'm an expert software code writer"
  • Of course the text box contents used in the letter could have been better but all in all I would say that this cover letter ends up ticking most of the boxes as discussed in Part 3

Feel free to reach me if you have any questions.

New Zealand is Pathetic!!

Ya, we all know John F. Kennedy once said " Ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country ." I know as an international student coming to New Zealand, you might feel, “What’s there in it for me?” Or “I mean, why should I even consider what John said, I am not in the US…?” Or “John..??? Who is this John guy???” Or “Man… I have got so much to worry about in my life and here we are talking about John!!” Guys, I am not here to give you some lessons on patriotism using what John F. Kennedy said after winning his presidential elections in the US in the year 1961 but yes, I would like to use this famous quote from his speech as a backdrop to explain one common personality trait that has been observed in all those international students who struggle to get what they aspired for in their careers. They all know… and without doubt… they know what they WANT It’s a shame that none of them know wha...

NZ’s DIY VS India’s Jugaad – so close, yet so far!!

Image
Every Indian, when they hear the word “Jugaad” will have a smile on their face. Click on this link to see how jugaad is done but on a serious note click on this   link   to see how jugaad mentality can do wonders. Born and brought up in an environment where resources are limited with a cut-throat competition and socio-economic challenges at every step in our personal / professional life; we’ve unknowingly mastered the art of Jugaad!! We’ve grown knowing Jugaad is the trick of life. Let’s accept it guys… and let’s shout out loud; Indians are kings of Jugaad!!! As a consultant, I focus on migrants from various countries who are searching for jobs in New Zealand. However, if you asked a question, why jugaad? Why am I talking only India? The answer is simple…. Because, I am an Indian. That said, the idea called jugaad in India is known as “zizhu chuangxin” in China, “gambiarra” in Brazil and “jua kali” in Kenya. The English translation might be DIY o...

Just make some money and enjoy your life bro!!

Students, when they arrive at the Auckland International Airport; what do they have? A big smile on their face, spark in their eyes, enthusiasm and determination to achieve their goals, butterflies in their stomach and a commitment to themselves that they will try to get a job as soon as possible and make sure they are not a burden to their parents back home and friends, if any, in New Zealand. Their attitude is nothing less than that of a total innocence and sincerity. Once here, they don’t take much time to make friends with the groups they stay with or with the guys they move around or the ones who are in their college. Soon they get introduced to this very special group of students/immigrants who are the ‘been-there-done-that’ kinds. They are a respected lot having solutions and or opinion on almost everything and are often addressed as ‘Seniors’. These so-called seniors always feel the uncontainable sense of responsibility in sharing their pearls of wisdom with the...
