Returning Mother To The Workforce

Investment Manager

Smb marketing manager.

This was a letter written by our team for a client who landed an interview with Facebook’s Small & Medium Business (SMB) Marketing team. It’s got the right amount of humour and professionalism for Facebook’s culture. It’s definitely one of our favourite letters written to date.

Dear Mr. Hans,

I’m thrilled to be applying for the role of SMB Marketing Manager. With 4 years of marketing experience across Hong Kong and Indonesia, both as at an SMB (ad buyer) and agency (ad seller), I’ve come to understand both buyers and sellers of Facebook Ads.

For the last 2 years, I’ve been head of digital marketing for a small handmade jewellery e-commerce store based in Hong Kong. Our craftsmen in Bali made the most beautiful bespoke bracelets and necklaces. Everyone who saw our designs loved them. There was just one problem – we needed more customers.With a tiny marketing budget of just 2’000 USD a month, we invested all our resources into the Facebook Ad platform. I’d glad to report that it paid off handsomely. The ability to zero in on our target customer (through the demographics tool) and test different marketing campaigns to see which one resonated the most (A/B testing tool) allowed us to gain a massive ROI on our shoestring budget. Our revenues are now over 10 times larger thanks for the clients we’ve acquired on Facebook.
Prior to the sparkling jewellery stint, I spent 3 years at Grey Advertising’s digital arm based in Jakarta. Here, I supported 15 different accounts across 6 industries, being responsible for all their online marketing spend. We were on every platform – Adwords, Facebook, Yahoo Ads, Twitter etc. While each platform had it strengths, I personally found Facebook to be most effective at driving sales conversions, which is the only metric that mattered to our customers.Working at such a large agency, I learnt so much about the scientific approach to advertising. Every decision we made was driven by data. It fundamentally changed my approach to advertising when I later ran marketing for the jewellery SMB.

Having been on both sides of the table – running ads for an SMB and selling ads to large companies, I’ve developed an insider’s understanding of both parties. I’ve understood what key factors drive their decision making.

Facebook’s mission is to connect the world. Most assume it means connecting friends, but to me, Facebook is the best way for brands to connect with their audiences. And this applies to brands of all sizes, from large Fortune 500 companies to tiny startups. Facebook has democratized advertising. Every company with any advertising budget can now compete.

I’ve spent hours looking at videos on your website and reading employee reviews on Glassdoor. Everything I read about your company matches my own personal values. Facebook feels like the home I’ve been looking for. I think we’ll be great together.

So, shall we add each other on Facebook?

Sincerely, Mike Hartono

Health and Safety, Security (HSSE) Cover Letter

This cover letter was written for a client who was interested at a role at Airbnb. Tech companies are often the most selective amongst employers hence the need for creative cover letters like these.

Security Role

Dear Mr. Royston,

I’m really excited to be applying for the Regional Safety & Security Officer position. With my prior work stints within the hospitality (Fullterton Hotel) and design (IKEA) industries, I feel I’ve garnered a good mix of experiences to make a great addition to the Airbnb Team.

Here are my top 5 reasons why I think I’d be the perfect next hire for your team:

#1 – A mission that resonates: While I’m happily employed as a Safety and Security manager for IKEA, seeing the job post for Airbnb stopped me in my tracks. It’s so exciting seeing what Airbnb is doing for the sharing economy – giving travelers a chance to live in real homes as opposed to sterile hotel rooms. It’s a mission I really want to be a part of.
#2 – Regional experience: Over the past 3 years, I’ve had the wonderful opportunity to craft safety policies for IKEA’s regional stores in Thailand, Hong Kong & Malaysia. It was a phenomenal learning experience, tailoring our safety protocols around the nuances of each local market. It required plenty of research and a deep empathy for differing cultures. It’s a skill set I’m eager to hone further in Airbnb’s regional role.
#3 – Strong safety record: While I’m not one to boast, I have had a perfect safety track record with no security infringements for the last few years. This includes leading IKEA Hong Kong to comply with all audit requirements in 2015, their first successful compliance in 7 years.
#4 – Crisis trained: As a former member of the elite Special Duties Unit (Hong Kong’s SWAT Team), I’m well trained in hostage incidents, bomb threats and close quarter battles. While I’ve never had to call upon these skills since I’ve left the police force, it does bring my colleagues comfort knowing I’m trained to remain calm in tense situations. (My firearm training also makes me a good candidate to have around in a zombie apocalypse)
#5 – Creative industry experience: The past 3 years at IKEA have thought me so much about being creative. It’s difficult to summarise in a paragraph, but there is a distinct difference in a creative organisation’s culture. It’s opened my eyes to thinking more empathetically and always placing the user first. Skills which I believe will be useful at Airbnb given that both of your firm’s founders are design trained.

Funnily, I’ve noticed plenty of Airbnb homes use furniture from my current employer, IKEA. It always puts a smile on my face when I recognise a particular desk of drawers in a picture on an Airbnb listing.

With my wide range of experiences and strong safety track record, I’m sure I can keep a tight ship running at Airbnb. I’ve spent hours reading employee reviews online and on your website. Airbnb really feels like a great place to work. It’s a place I want to work.

I’m looking forward to hearing more about how we can work together to make Airbnb more awesome!

Best regards, Kelvin

Regulatory Risk & Compliance Cover Letter

This was a letter written by Linda Xie when she was applying to a role at Coinbase, a leading Bitcoin startup. Despite the role being way out of her league, Linda managed to snag a job offer which led to 2 happy years at one of Silicon Valley’s fastest growing unicorns.

Regulatory Risk & Compliance

Dear Ms Niejadlik

I am currently an Analyst at AIG in New York where I have worked in the risk management department since 2012. While I have not actively been seeking new employment, I cannot pass up the opportunity to apply for the Regulatory Compliance Analyst position at Coinbase. I am extremely optimistic about the future of Bitcoin and I see Coinbase as playing a central role in it’s widespread adoption. The recent Mt. Gox bankruptcy filing not only made me realise that my background in risk and regulatory compliance is highly relevant to Bitcoin markets as they become more mainstream, but motivated me to look into opportunities at Coinbase. I am eager to switch industries and join Coinbase for a few reasons:

I philosophically support Bitcoin as a decentralised, alternative currency and have been closely following cryptocurrencies since 2011
Coinbase provides the single most convenient method for Bitcoin adoption
The Coinbase operation is run by highly experienced people who are experts in their respective fields.

I support one Managing Director and three Directors at AIG with risk analytics and presentations. As a result, I am highly proficient with Microsoft Excel, PowerPoint, Word and Matlab. I have also worked closely with AIG’s internal databases as well as Microsoft Access. With only two years at AIG, my work representing our $400 billion portfolio are trusted to be sent directly to AIG’s senior management. I hope you agree that my background is a strong match with the Regulatory Compliance Analyst Position and I welcome the opportunity to discuss my qualifications in more detail. Thank you for your consideration and I look forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely, Linda Xie

For personnel in sales, it’s all about the sales targets you’ve hit. Be sure to emphasise that repeatedly and quantify it with clear, substantiated numbers. Here’s a sample I’ve written for an imaginary client.

Dear Mr. XXX,

Re: Application for Position of XXXXX

My name is Joseph Tan and I’m a veteran sales director within the IT industry. Over the past 15 years, I’ve consistently exceeded my sales targets at bluechip firms such as HP, Microsoft and most recently, Salesforce.

As a senior sales director, my role is more strategic in nature. I focus on identifying macro trends within the software industry, identifying key customer pain points, our unique product selling points and generating suitable marketing materials and sales scripts to empower my sales teams.

Besides empowering my staff, I’ve also honed my skills in hiring the right talents to build high performance sales teams. My years of hiring have enabled me to create unique rubrics for identifying talent which are a right fit for the organisation. Due to the high paced nature of the IT industry, I value quick learners who can adapt to ever shortening product cycles.

Here is a brief history of my work experiences:

In my current role as APAC Director with Salesforce, I’m charge of growing our CRM solution sales for Medium and Large clients within the retail space, across APAC. Over the past 3 years, my team and I have increased our revenues from this segment by 400%. We’ve captured a monthly recurring revenue of over 40 million USD thereby cementing our position as the market leader.
In my previous role as Regional Director (MS Dynamics) for Microsoft, I once again specialised in leading teams to penetrate the CRM market focusing on Enterprise clients within South East Asia. After building a team of 20 from scratch, we exceeded our sales targets by 140% consecutively for 7 quarters.

I’m deeply passionate about the IT segment in Asia and believe the wave is just starting. I bring years of experience, honed from best practices at the of biggest tech companies in the region.

Attached is my resume with several customer referees. These are all excellent executives who I’ve had the pleasure of working with. Do feel free to contact them.

I’ve spent some time studying your market segment and your positioning. I see two untapped opportunities currently not being exploited by your firm. Firstly, around inbound content marketing. By crafting solution case studies and posting it online, we can foster more user trust and generate inbound leads from prospects searching online. The second area of opportunity lies in strategically placing advertising in business trade journals. I’ve previously achieved excellent ROI by using this method to penetrate new markets including Indonesia and Thailand, where our products had no brand awareness. I have detailed execution roadmaps which we can discuss in person should you select me for this interview.

I look forward for an opportunity to meet and discuss further. Thank you for your time in considering my application.

Yours faithfully, Joseph Tan

Finance Manager Cover Letter Sample (For Mothers Returning To The Workforce)

If you’re a mother returning to the workforce , a cover letter will make a huge difference in assisting you to secure an interview. Employers have consistently found that mothers make better employees. Be proud of the family you’ve started and use it to your advantage.

I’m writing to apply to the Finance Manager position open at your firm. With over 8 years of experience both as finance manager at GE Capital and an auditor at KPMG, I’m confident of excelling at the role open at your organisation.

Having come from an audit background, I posses a unique ability in seeing both sides of the (accounting) table. This enables me to better spot control weaknesses, implement new best practices and install processes for continued smooth operations.

In my last role as Finance Manager with GE Capital, I oversaw accounts for the leading commercial loans, leases and middle market finance solutions provider. Along with a team of 4, we managed over 2 billion USD in accounts. A key facet of my job was ensuring all reporting were as per US GAAP and SOX 404 requirements.
In my previous role as Senior Auditor for KPMG, I worked with a broad range of clients in the finance industry. Here, I analysed accounts, identified regulatory violations and worked with client management teams to devise strategies to ensure compliance moving forward.

Since 2012, I’ve been on sabbatical attending to my newly born twins. I felt it was necessary to be there for them during their formative years. Now that they’re all grown up, I feel rejuvenated and eager to re-enter the job market. I’m aware that I’ve been away for a long period of time, hence my desire to enter at a more junior role, to ease myself back into the workforce. Rest assured, I’m not looking for an easy ride, I’m keen to maximise my talents and apply myself fully at your organisation.

Yours faithfully, Diana Chan

The finance sector remains one of the highest paid, and most sought after industries to work in within Hong Kong. That means that competition is incredibly stiff. You’ll be up against some of the best.

The finance industry is a little more upright than the tech industry. As such, your cover letter needs to come across as being more measured.

Dear Mr. Yong,

Re: Application for Position of Vice President (Investments)

It is with great enthusiasm that I submit my application for the position of Vice President of Investments at Dymon Asia. Through my 5-year career, I’ve come to specialise in mergers and acquisitions, and have led a wide range of M&A projects across multiple industries. Indeed, I’m highly familiar with the entire M&A process from pre-deal due diligence to negotiation through to post-deal operations. I’ve been able to leverage on my experience, generating close to USD500M in total revenue throughout my tenure in various MNCs and boutique funds alike, and I am confident that I will be able to continue securing and leading lucrative deals for Dymon Asia.

Presently, I am a Senior Manager of Investments with JP Morgan Chase, where I am responsible for managing all financial-related matters within the Group, with an emphasis on the analysis and monitoring of our financial results. In addition, I led the development and implementation of our corporate business strategy, advising the Managing Director on long-term strategic plans for the development of the Group.

Amongst my various achievements during my tenure, I am most proud of having spearheaded negotiations for the acquisition of several key companies (which are now our subsidiaries) and securing marine asset financing worth a combined total of USD 370M amidst a regional financial downturn.

Dymon Asia is regionally known for its Asia Macro Fund, which has consistently ranked amongst the top macro funds globally. My background in finance, trading, and portfolio management, coupled with my practical experience in macroeconomic analysis and strategic development will allow me to contribute effectively to Dymon’s continued growth and performance, particularly by designing new investment strategies and generating new investment theses that will thrive amidst the rapidly changing investment climate we are facing today.

I am thrilled at the possibility of being part of such a renowned firm, and would love the opportunity to meet with you and discuss the value that I can bring to the Dymon Asia Group. I appreciate your time and consideration, and I look forward to hearing from you. Please feel free to contact me at any time via mobile at +852 9999 9999 or by email at [email protected].

Yours sincerely, Phil, CFA

Writing & Preparation: Cover Letter

Writing & preparation: cover lett er.

Always accompany the CV with a short and well-written cover letter when making your application. It should highlight the most important parts of your CV and demonstrate your suitability for the vacancy.

Address carefully to the correct company and contact person (name and position title). If no contact person is disclosed, use: Dear Human Resources Manager.

Introduction:

Briefly explain why you are writing and where and when you were notified of the job advertisement: I write to apply for the position of XX advertised on YY (date) at ZZ (newspaper / website).

Self-selling:

Explain why you are interested (or eager) to join this company and what competencies you possess that the employer should consider you. You may highlight some specific examples to support why you are suitable for the position, rather than talking about skills and qualities in isolation. Do not just repeat phrases from your CV.

Finish your letter in a polite and positive way: I hope I meet your requirements and am available for an interview at your convenience. Use 'Yours sincerely' or, if you don't know the name, 'Yours faithfully' followed by your signature to end your letter.

Tips for writing cover letter

Restrict to one page of A4 paper in length
Use a (common) font and font size that are easy to read
Don’t use more than 2 font types at a time
Add space between paragraphs
Allow space for signature at the bottom
Make sure you put the correct company name and position if you send it for different applications - of course you have to edit the contents as well
Use simple sentences
Use industry commonly used words to enhance the chance of being selected, e.g. IT:
Java, programming, C++, Linux, SQL
system analysis / design / implementation / support
user-friendly system, reliability / stability
Proofread your application. Make sure that there is no typo or grammatical mistake.
Check the accuracy of your contact details

I am interested in applying for the position of Bank Executive at Citibank (Hong Kong) Limited.

As Regional Manager, I have organized a new construction lending department and established a US$40 million industrial and commercial loan portfolio that achieved consistent returns . I have also assisted a major Japanese bank in opening operations in Singapore.

As I am resettling in Hong Kong, I am now actively seeking a new banking position as a Regional Manager. I have read about the innovative lending practices of your bank in Hong Kong and have been intrigued with your imaginative solutions to common lending problems.

I believe I can make a valuable contribution to the continued development of the Citibank (Hong Kong) Limited.

Email cover letter

We often use email as an informal means of correspondence, but when a job advertisement asks for a cover letter and resume to be forwarded via email, it’s time to ramp things up a notch.

Your cover letter email will create a hiring manager’s first impression of you, so it’s important to make it a good one.

Emails may be quick to write and easy to send but there’s a lot riding on a cover letter email. If it’s not well written or professionally presented your resume may not even be downloaded. Take a look at our top tips to create a strong first impression with an email cover letter.

1. Know what’s required

Check the job posting carefully to know whether your email cover letter and resume should be sent as an attachment or if the lot should be included in the body of the email. If only your resume is to be included as an attachment, use a clear and descriptive file name such as “Cecilia Wang Resume – Web Designer Position” so the recipient can easily identify your document. Save attachments as a PDF file or Word document – files types that are commonly used.

2. Treat your cover letter email like a formal letter

Draft your email cover letter in much the same way as a hard copy cover letter. Maintain a professional yet warm tone, write words in full without abbreviations, and aim for no more than a single page, breaking up your letter into paragraphs rather than sending a solid chunk of text. It is physically more difficult to read online compared to hard copy so use sub-headers if necessary to break up your letter into user-friendly grabs of information.

3. Keep it simple

Fancy formatting can be lost on different systems so stick to a simple, crisp font like Arial, using a size 10 -12 font for body copy and 14 for headers. Avoid using images, tables, shading or graphics, which can easily be corrupted, to ensure a hiring manager sees your message in the way you intended.

4. Make good use of the subject line

The email subject line should include your name as well as identifying the position you are applying for. A subject line like “Andrew Tan, Junior Accountant Position” will work. Keep this line short and to the point, and if a reference number is included in the job advertisement include this in your subject line (refer to our cover letter sample email below).

5. Customise an email signature

Having an email signature in place makes it very easy for a hiring manager to find your contact details at a moment’s notice. Be sure to include your name, phone number and address in the email cover letter signature line.

6. Tailor each email cover letter to individual roles

If you’re applying for a variety of roles, fine tune your cover letter email (and resume) to reflect the requirements of each role emphasising the suitability of your skills and experience for the job in question.

7. Proof read your email cover letter

A simple typo or spelling mistake can see your job application get an instant thumbs down. Spell check your cover letter (and of course, your resume) taking particular care that you have correctly spelt the name of the company, the position and the recipient. Read the cover letter out loud as it’s easy to mentally anticipate key words even if they’re missing from the text. If in doubt, have a friend cast a second set of eyes over your email cover letter, and correct any mistakes before pressing ‘Send’.

8. Send a test message

Cover Letter Sample and writing tips for Teacher

A cover letter is often the first impression you will make on a prospective employer. Therefore, it is an opportunity for you to make yourself stand out from the other teachers applying for the position. A cover letter that demonstrates how you are uniquely suited to the position can help you get ahead of the competition.

Tailor your cover letter to align your work experience with the job requirements, irrespective of whether you are a fresh graduate or an experienced teacher, to convince the school’s hiring committee that you are the best fit for the job. Highlight your work experience and achievements that match with the job description while ensuring that you are not copying and pasting the information from your resume.

There is a constant demand for dedicated and enthusiastic teachers with a passion for teaching. If you are applying for different jobs, make sure you customise your cover letter targeting each job to appear genuinely interested in that particular job. With an intriguing introduction, focus on what skills and expertise you have to offer to school, its teaching faculty, and pupils.

Below are some tips to write an effective cover letter for a teacher:

Keep your cover letter concise and highlight your teacher education and certifications. Emphasize why you are a good match for the job by matching the skills you bring to the table with the skills required in the job description. If the job description has specific language and terms, use them in your cover letter.
Research the school and its culture thoroughly to be able to tailor each cover letter to match the specific school requirements for the job. Demonstrate that you possess the requisite training, education, and certification for the job, as well as any special skills mentioned in the job listing.
Ensure that your cover letter shows you in the best light. Include examples of your accomplishments in past jobs as a teacher and highlight your successes with students. For example, if you received a teaching award or your students earned high test scores etc.
Highlight some of your skills and strengths that match with the job description, such as an Engaging Personality and Teaching Style; Clear Objectives for Lessons, Effective Discipline Skills; Good Classroom Management Skills; Knowledge of Curriculum and Standards; Knowledge of Subject Matter; Passion for Children and Teaching; Strong Rapport with Students and parents etc., in addition to emphasizing on strong communication skills, organisation skills and critical thinking as well as any specific experience that will help distinguish you from other applicants.
If you are a new teacher with limited experience, it will be helpful to mention any relevant work experience outside the classroom including any volunteer or non-teaching work experience that involves working with children.
Address your cover letter to a specific person. Do your research and attempt to address the cover letter to an individual instead of “To whom it may concern”. Call the school to find out the name of the hiring manager/ Administrator/ Superintendent if it is not already listed, unless the job description specifically mentions not to call. Never use “To Whom It May Concern.” If a name is not available, use a title instead e.g., Dear Superintendent.
Format your cover letter correctly and always spellcheck for any typos or spelling mistakes. Keep it short and crisp, no longer than one page. Remember that you have been focusing on your teacher education and certifications in your cover letter, so back your claim with copies of any certificates you have mentioned.

In conclusion, when writing a cover letter, you should introduce yourself; mention the job you are applying for; show that your skills and experience match the job description; encourage the reader to read your resume; and finish with a call to action by asking for either an interview or a meeting.
