My high school English teacher (English is my first language, so this was a writing course, not a foreign language course) gave the advice "show, don't tell", and this applies in this situation.ĭon't tell them "My profile matches the requirements." or "My experience matches the requirements." Instead pull a couple highlights from your resume that you feel give you the necessary background, and say something like "I look forward to applying my experience taking notes in class to making sure your medical records are clear and concise and don't miss any important details." Of course, you should talk about your actual experience and the tasks that you will do in the position you are applying for. Bigger issue: why would they trust your assessment, since you're obviously biased (you want them to offer you the job). For one thing, it implies that the recruiter or HR department is redundant, which is going to make a bad impression on the first person to see your resume, even if it were true. ![]() The primary problem is that you're trying to evaluate your own suitability for the position. Worse, it still gives the distinct impression that you're sending the same cover letter to dozens of companies, and probably didn't even read the requirements that you say you meet. The awkward word choice and sentence construction is gone, although it still is passive and overly wordy. But it's not going to get you the job in a competitive market. ![]() The primary point any reader is going to take away is "English is not my first language and I have difficulty communicating." Your original statement doesn't convey what it literally says. About the only thing good I can say about your cover letter is that you knew to ask for help.
