    Correction/cover letter
    Message de eireso3 posté le 30-11-2012 à 11:43:32 (S | E | F)
    Hello !

    Can I ask you for help ?!
    I would like to surprise a potential employer with an English cover letter even if it is for a job in France...
    But I think I did made mistakes and I'm not always sure that the sentences are correct..
    It could be really nice if someone could give me some advice, it is for a position as receptionist for the ski season.
    Thanks a lot !
    Re: job application

    Dear Ms xxxxx,

    Following your add n°xxxx on the website Pole Emploi, I would like to apply as a receptionist.

    First I chose to write my cover letter in English because I know that a good English level is required to work during the ski season in France, as customers are mostly foreign people.

    In fact, I have work experience in all kind of accommodations and places, in France and abroad. That proves you of how easily I can join a new team and work environment.

    Then, I think that responsibilities are what make a job more challenging.
    Which ones can be well assumed with organization and energy.
    Besides I also have good computer and communication skills. And I sincerely care about people having a nice stay and that’s probably what makes the difference in delivering effective services.

    Finally, my definition of a good receptionist is to be discreet but efficient.
    That is how I would like to represent your establishment, so please consider me a serious candidate for the position.
    I look forward to a personal meeting so that I can provide you with additional information to supplement what appears on my enclosure resume.

    Yours sincerely,

    xxxxx

    Bonjour,

    j'ai déjà noté quelques points à revoir que je vous ai repérés en bleu ci-dessous.
    Bon courage.

    Dear Ms xxxxx,

    Following your add n°xxxx on the website Pole Emploi, I would like to apply as (non: il faut une autre préposition) a receptionist.

    First I chose to write my cover letter in English because I know that a good English level is required to work during the ski season in France, as customers (ne peut-on pas trouver un autre mot?) are mostly foreign people.

    In fact, I have work experience in all kind of accommodations and places, in France and abroad. That proves you of how (à changer) easily I can (temps trop "direct") join a new team and work environment.

    Then, I think that responsibilities are what make a job more challenging.
    Which ones can be well assumed with organization (une lettre à changer dans ce mot si vous vous adressez à un interlocuteur qui s'exprime en anglais/britannique) and energy.
    Besides I also have good computer and communication skills. And I sincerely care about people having a nice stay and that’s probably what makes the difference in delivering effective services.

    Finally, my definition of a good receptionist is to be discreet but efficient.
    That is how I would like to represent your establishment, so please consider me a (il manque quelque chose) serious candidate for the position (autre nom, non?).
    I look forward to a personal meeting (meeting convient plutôt pour une assemblée, je ne crois pas que ce soit le cas ici!) so that I can provide you with additional information to supplement (autre verbe) what appears on my enclosure resume.

    Yours sincerely,

    Hello -

    Following your add n°xxxx on the website Pole Emploi, I would like to apply as a receptionist ('as' is OK, but then you need something else. It's better to say 'I would like to apply for the position of 'Receptionist' in your company).

    First I chose to write my cover letter in English because I know that a good English level is required to work during the ski season in France, as customers are mostly foreigners.

    In fact, I have work experience in all kinds of accommodations and places, in France and abroad. That proves to you of (inutile) how easily I can join a new team and work environment.

    Secondly, I think that responsibilities are what make a job more challenging.
    Which ones can be well assumed (extrait à revoir) with organization and energy.
    Additionally, I also have good computer and communication skills. And I sincerely care about people having a nice stay and that’s probably what makes the difference in delivering effective services.

    Finally, my definition of a good receptionist is to be discreet but efficient.
    That is how I would like to represent your establishment, so please consider me a serious candidate for the position.
    I look forward to a personal meeting so that I can provide you with additional information to supplement what appears on my enclosed resume.
