Dear Sir,
APPLICATION FOR THE POST OF MANAGEMENT TRAINEE
I wish to apply for the position of management trainee as advertised in the JobStreet.com homepage on 1 Dec 2005.
I am currently enrolled in the final year of the business administration course at the University Science Malaysia and I will graduate in April 2006.
Your company’s unique involvement and leading position in online recruitment has prompted me to apply for the management trainee position in your organization. I am very interested in pursuing a career in the field of business administration. I have completed a wide range of subjects that provide me with a firm base of knowledge and skills relevant to the requirements of the management trainee position.
I notice that the position you advertised requires two years of work experience. Although I do not have any work experience pertaining to the recruitment industry, I have gone through a five-month industrial training during my final year of studies where I was given tasks equivalent to a management executive.
I believe that my knowledge and skills will help me contribute a great deal to your company. Above all, I possess the interest and determination to perform well in the position you are offering.
I look forward to meeting with you to discuss the position further. I can be contacted at (04) 699-1234 and the following email address: johnlee@email.com
Thank you for your consideration.
Yours Sincerely,
(JOHN LEE)

Dear Ms Mirda,
Re: Financial Services Manager
The Financial Services Manager position, advertised in the Kompas on 23/02/07, caught my attention as it involves the challenge of improving financial reporting procedures company wide and the application of specialist management and taxation accounting knowledge. I have been seeking just such an opportunity as this, and I think my background in Financial Services would complement your requirements very well.
Of particular interest for you and the members of your team are my strong accomplishments in:
· reorganising accounting and invoicing functions to achieve improved operating efficiency.
· improving cash flow for the institution as a whole.
· reducing outstanding invoices.
Examples of specific achievements are:
· reduced the average turnaround time for invoices from 32 to 24 days.
· reduced casual staff hours from 56 to 41 per month with concurrent decrease in training hours required.
· reduced client complaints with simultaneous increase in revenue collected.
· improved cash flow by Rp12 million per month.
My contributions to the department in my current role have been achieved by improving information flow, increasing the efficiency of our internal processes and procedures, and improving cooperation between our department and the departments with which we interact. After five years in my current role, I have a thorough understanding of every aspect of this function. Although my current employer is very happy with my performance, I am seeking new challenges and the opportunity to develop my skills in a management role.
If you are seeking a Financial Manager who stays abreast of her field, who understands a range of financial systems, who is an enthusiastic team member and who is committed to achieving organisation-wide success, then please consider what I have to offer. My C.V. is enclosed for your review. I would be happy to have a preliminary discussion with you or members of your committee to discuss the requirements of the position. I will call you within the week to answer any initial questions you may have and to provide any further documentation you may require.
Thank you for your consideration of my application. I look forward to exploring this opportunity further.
Yours sincerely,
Heru Setiawan

Tips Membuat Surat Lamaran Kerja
Tips Membuat Lamaran Kerja Agar Tampak Professional
1. Sesuaikan lamaran Anda dengan iklan yang Anda tanggapi. Gunakan kata-kata yang telah disesuaikan dengan iklan.
2. Gunakanlah lamaran berbahasa Inggris, karena lamaran berbahasa Inggris meningkatkan persepsi kualitas dua kali lebih baik dari lamaran berbahasa Indonesia.
3. Gunakan kertas sejenis conqueror untuk mencetak lamaran Anda. Jangan gunakan
kertas HVS biasa.
4. Gunakan amplop khusus untuk lamaran Anda. Lamaran dengan amplop coklat membuat Anda sama saja dengan pelamar lain. Buatlah amplop sendiri menggunakan kertas conqueror yang sama dengan kertas lamaran Anda.
5. Buatlah riwayat hidup Anda dengan versi resume, bukan dengan versi CV.
6. Masukkanlah hanya data yang penting dan menjual saja pada lamaran Anda. Setiap data tidak penting dan menjual hanya akan menurunkan kualitas lamaran Anda.
7. Berfotolah dengan pakaian jas dan dasi untuk pria, atau three-pieces suite untuk wanita. Gunakan foto berwarna dan ukuran 4X6
8. Ceritakan dengan baik pengalaman Anda dalam bentuk action word. Beri gambaran pada perekrut kompetensi apa yang Anda kuasai.
9. Tulislah riwayat hidup Anda dengan versi kronologis terbalik. Perekrut menganggap bahwa pelamar yang menulis resume secara kronologis terbalik adalah kandidat professional dan memiliki kompetensi.
10. Pertimbangkan dokumen yang Anda masukkan ke dalam amplop lamaran dengan seksama. Semakin sedikit lembar dokumen yang Anda masukkan, asalkan benar-benar penting dan membangun persepsi kompetensi, makin membuat perekrut menaruh respek dan penghargaan pada Anda.
11. Kirimkan lamaran Anda pada hari iklan dimuat. Amplop awal yang datang pasti akan dibuka oleh perekrut. Amplop ke-4000 yang datang mungkin sekali tak akan pernah sempat dibuka perekrut.

They should not have high hope in getting the 'right' job at their first attempt, but should aim to gain worthwhile experience from their first job. Indeed, the chances of finding the 'right' job at the first time are small, unless for graduates whose qualifications decide specifically what kind of job they are going to do after graduation.
