Cover Letter in General

Montreal, March 12, 2011

Att.: Mr. Xyz

Company Name

(Title of the person, if available)

Dear Mr. Xyz,

I have the pleasure to enclose herewith my CV for a candidature to the internship posting # 0123 (Supply Chain Management), which was advertised at McGill Career Planning Services.

In May, I will complete my second year in McGill majoring in mechanical engineering. The aerospace field has been my passion for a long time. My previous internships accomplished at renowned banking & retail organizations helped me develop strong time management and organizational skills required in an office. Furthermore, my internship in a regionally recognized mechanic workshop helped me understand and acquire the foundations of physical work.

Not only have I been introduced to the internal working systems/procedures and daily tasks within a dynamic environment, but I also have been acquainted with team working principles and key success factors.

Accordingly, I truly reiterate my interest in an internship opportunity at ‘Company Name’, and would be delighted to discuss it further at your convenience.

I would like to thank you, Mr. Xyz, for your kind consideration,

Sincerely,

Jonathan H. Edwards

This an application letter that I recently submitted. The name of the company/person to whom this letter was written to has been omitted. The post concerned is a 'Supply Chain Manager' in an aeronautics company.


This company is a multinational company that has both offices and factories in Montreal. This is why I talk about my work at offices and at a mechanic workshop. In the case where I do not get the job as a supply chain manager, I show them that I have office experience. This would hopefully not make the HR representative reviewing my application throw my CV away seeing the possibility that I could fit in somewhere else in the company.

Interpersonal Communication Conflicts

It is a beautiful day; the sun is at its zenith while a distant rainbow is clearly visible in the sky. The landscape is filled with trees and flowers. A beautiful church can be distinguished because of its high bell tower. Next to that church, there is a playground where children are running around, playing hide and seek. Their mothers are chatting between each other, discussing their daily lives while keeping a watchful eye over their children. It is a perfect day and everybody is enjoying it. 

Suddenly, the sounds of birds are silenced by a shrieking scream. Everybody is confused and surprised. Kids stop running and mothers instinctively rush towards their children. A man can be seen pointing at the top of the tower bell, he is shouting "She is on top! She is going to jump!". Each person turns his attention to the unknown young girl standing on the edge of the tower, waiting to fall. 

She is blankly staring at the sky and ignoring the world under her feet. Her makeup is damaged because of dry tears. Her stunning black dress is stained with mud and dirt. She has been on top of the church all morning and just decided to climb the bell tower, which attracted the attention of the crowd. Sadness is filling her soul, blinding her of the environment around her. Unlike everybody else, she could not see the shining sun and the bright blue sky; somehow, this image is replaced by darkness. She is standing still, as if she were a statue. The only sign of life she projected is a cry in a deep sad voice "Why?...".

Her thoughts are surrounding her tightly. It makes her disconnected from her surroundings to the point that the notion of space and time are lost. She is lonely and confused; convinced that the future will not bring any good. She is lost within her mind, questioning the root of her problems; is it because she is a failure or because she is misunderstood? The only thing she is sure of is that she must make a hard decision: should she jump to end her misery or give herself another chance in life?  

Suddenly, before reaching her decision, her foot slips from the edge of the bell tower. She looks around and gets back in touch with the world around her. The rainbow has disappeared; the melody of singing birds was replaced by the sound of sirens and chatting noises by loud screams. People are begging her, they are asking her, "Please, do not jump, we are here to help." But, it is too late.

What are the different interpersonal conflicts in this post? (Hint there are two)

Is there any way that the flow of events could have happened differently?
