  1. Hi jun yuan,

    I take it that you are providing “fake” personal information so as to protect your privacy on the internet. You should note that the real/”real sounding” details will have to be provided in your final draft of your cover letter to make it look and sound realistic.

    As your teammates have pointed out , your letter is too short. You should try to elaborate on the details, like what kind of basic knowledge you have gained that is relevant to the position you are applying for. You should have tried to address the requirements of the position briefly by writing about the type of skills you have picked up throughout your studies and how it is relevant to the job.

    I believe that it should be fine should you choose to address yourself and the person reading your letter appropriately, like putting “miss Clara Wong” (I’am assuming that this is a female…) and addressing yourself as “Mr” since certain mandarin names may be misleading (gender wise).

    Regards,
    Jie Yang

  2. Thanks for the reminder Jie Yang about the "fake" private information. It is indeed done this way for privacy. I will change it to a more appropriate form in the actual cover letter.
