I'm still working on the letter of motivation. I've got all my main points down and now I am just trying to structure it. I will post it in that thread when its done and will welcome feedback!!
I've nearly finished this letter of recommendation too - I will post it shortly before I put it on my boss's desk!
I'm aiming to get the whole lot in the mail by Friday or Monday - so stressed out!!!
OK here is the letter. I would really welcome any changes or suggestions!!!
To Whom It May Concern,
It is my pleasure to recommend Amy ****** as a candidate for the Undergraduate Arts program at ******* University. Amy commenced employment at ********** in 2006 as a receptionist and was quickly promoted to the position of Executive Assistant.
Amy brings to all of her activities energy, enthusiasm, and commitment. As the Executive Assistant of ***********, Amy is responsible for providing secretarial services to the CEO and Board. In her role, Amy is required to have excellent interpersonal, organisational and communication skills, comprehensive computing skills, the ability to work under pressure and meet deadlines, be self motivated and have a high standard of written and verbal communication skills. This speaks to her overall competence and ability to learn, attributes that will serve her well in undergraduate study.
Amy is a valued member of our organisation. The characteristics that Amy shows in her work make it easy for me to give her an unqualified endorsement for undergraduate study. Her combination of commitment, integrity, creativity, and compassionate character will certainly make her a valuable member of any academic program. I encourage you to look favourably upon her application.
I wrote a letter of motivation for mature aged entry to Murdoch Uni (my 2nd preference) and it was a pain. But at least you don't have to sit a STAT test!
Good luck, amysarah. I'm sure you'll do just fine.
OK here is my final version which I have just put on his desk:
