Receivable Accountant position application



Dear HR Department,
I am applying for the position of Receivable Accountant which was currently advertised on vietnamworks website. I believe that my education, skill-set, and experience will make me a suitable candidate for this vacancy.

As you will see from my attached curriculum vitae, I am a 24-year-old graduate in Accounting and Auditing from Banking University of Ho Chi Minh City, with up to two years of experience in Accounts Receivable and Payable. I am currently studying ACCA at Fundamental Skills level. I passed F5, F7 exams and sat for F6, F9 exams in December. These papers have provided me a range of useful theoretical and applicable knowledge of accounting and also contributed a move higher up the career ladder. My current objective is to advance my knowledge and strengthen my background in this area by successfully completing the professional exams and becoming an ACCA professional accountant.

During up to two years of relevant work experience in a large high volume service-type business, I acquired a set of key skills such as analytical, problem-solving, communication, time management, and software (Excel, SAP, FAST) skills which help me to demonstrate my ability to accomplish all the tasks assigned to me effectively. My ability to prioritize and handle multiple tasks under tight deadlines is a quality which I have achieved through experience and learned to apply it in many different areas. I take any task I am given with a serious attitude because I am always responsible for whatever I do. I am also a quick learner and flexible person when placed in a fast-paced and challenging work environment.

I would like to express my interest in the position because it seems to me to represent the type of favorable opportunity I wish to enhance my experiences in another industry and as part of a larger organization. Being a member of your company would mark the start of the latest chapter in my career.

Thank you for considering my application and I look forward to the opportunity to discuss it further. Please contact me via my phone or email to arrange a convenient date and time for us to meet.

Yours sincerely,

Khan, are you writing this letter for an actual job application or for an IELTS letter writing test? Those are 2 different types of letters with two different contents and presentation slants. An IELTS letter has specific prompt requirements that need to be represented so I would need a list of those requirements in order to judge your letter. As an actual job application letter though, this is not a very effective introduction. It sounds too academic, rather than professional in nature. It is so academic in presentation that I thought at first, that I was reading a statement of purpose which was written in the wrong format.

The cover letter should only ask the reader to take note of certain highlights in your CV by presenting a bullet form presentation of your academic achievements and work accomplishments, along with some notable employee traits. By using the bullet form presentation, you make the letter easier to read and allow the HR person to scan for highlights that may be of interest to him and push him to read your actual CV so you can be seriously considered for the position.

By the way, you don't address the letter to the HR Department. The proper format for this block letter is as follows:

Date

Your name
Your Contact information

Name of person in charge of HR
his position in the HR
The company name

or

Human Resources Department
Company Name
Company Company contact information

To Whom It May Concern;

I came across you job opening advertisement in...
