It is very common
to be asked for a motivation letter to be able to apply for an internship, a scholarship,
a non-paid position …
This motivation
letter is one of the key documents and can make a difference between you and
the others.
The motivation
letter gives you the opportunity to express how much you want a certain internship,
a certain job… with your own words which can make the one who is going to read
it feel how much you want it or not.
It lets you speak about yourself about
things that can affect the provider, to say things about yourself that differs
you from the others. Things you can’t write in a Resume or CV.
Also your
motivation letter can be the basic of the conversation that can happen during
the interview.
Make some research
So before you
write your motivation letter you should know all the information and details
about the opportunity and about the provider so you can have what you need to
know if your profile is a match or no and to know how to start writing and from
where to begin.
Make some plans
You should know
what you’re going to speak about, which topics, qualities… you’re going to
highlight them. Your letter should be personal and should be unique so you have
to know what to speak about exactly, why you’re interested in this opportunity,
what you are the perfect profile for it, mention too if you had some similar experience…
Some questions you
need to answer them in your letter :
- What is your goal?
- How this opportunity is going to help you to reach your goal?
- Why are you interested in this opportunity?
- Why are you the one they are searching for?
- What skills, qualities do you have that can prefer you on others?
- Do you have any experience?
- What will this opportunity give you?
NOTE : Don’t forget to be
professional, not to make errors while writing and to address the letter
formally.
