Re: Team Members

Dear Gary,

I would be pleased to accept the invitation to join our writing team.

Reviewing your application letter, you have great professional backgrounds with influential interpersonal and coordinational skills. I believe that these set of skills would play a predominant role when interacting with students in various fields of study. I also believe your time management skills would be valuable, especially because this course requires specific due dates for each assignment. We do also share some weakness in writing so it would be great to help each other out during the process of working together as a team.

Hope to hear from you soon.

Sincerely,

Diana

Re: Team Members

Dear Jocelyn,

I have recently heard from Shervin that you would like to join our writing team. I would be pleased to accept you as our team member.

I have examined your letter of application, you have great set of writing skills in the fields of academic and business. It has been stated in your application letter that you have some background in editing academic CVs and resumes. I have a similar background but more towards business aspects. I believe we could exchange knowledge in that matter and benefit from each other by working together.

I will be delighted to receive your reply email.

Sincerely,

Diana

Re: Team Members

Dear Shervin,

I have joined ENG301 class later than everybody else and if you are still looking for team members, then I would gladly accept your invitation. We could also try and look for one student each to join our writing team.

I have also reviewed your application letter and seems like we have similar goals to achieve within this course. I would like to develop stronger communications skills to further aid me in pursuing professional career as well.  Your application letter states that you have some experience of writing proposals with strong arguments. I believe that would be an advantageous tool so would like to learn some strategies from you. Hopefully I can join your team and can help you find other potential members to join ours.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely,

Diana

To my fellow ENG301 Technical Writing students:

I am writing in hopes of finding a position within a professional writing team for the duration of 2016 Winter semester. I am currently a fourth-year student completing Bachelor of Arts in Sociology at the University of British Colombia. Having to take several positions both in and out of school, my teamwork skills gained at Alpha Kappa Psi and working at Hausie firm as a social and digital marketing intern make myself a potential candidate for this position.

As briefly mentioned in the introduction, I am a marketing member of Alpha Kappa Psi, which is a professional business fraternity. My predominant role is to work with other team members and analyze the weakness of the incomplete business cases. This job requires each member to work cooperatively to come up with a new marketing plan each week. I believe being able to communicate with team members and meeting punctual deadlines would be great instruments when working for a professional writing team.

I recently worked as a social and digital marketing intern at Hausie, which enhanced my ability to write at a professional and personal level. Hausie is an e-commerce fashion platform and my main role was to create articles, stories and other content that are appropriate to Hausie’s editorial page. This practice has allowed myself to write in a professional manner with a specific style of writing. I have also handled five different social media accounts such as Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and Linkedln. I believe writing at a personal level that invites conversation and interaction could potentially lead to a significant asset as a professional writing team member.

One of my weakness would be sentence structure. I tend to struggle when transitioning sentences, which weakens my style of writing. I hope that peer reviews from other team members could provide me some feedbacks to improve my writing structure.

My learning philosophy is that students learn better when they are provided with a comfortable learning space where they are able to voice their educational processes and share with others. Creating a sense of community stimulate students to engage better beyond classroom settings.

Overall, I am prepared to devote significant amount of time to this course as a professional writing team member and hope to truly gain as much out of the experience by interacting with other team members. Thank you for taking your time and effort to review my application and please contact me at: diana.choi708@gmail.com if this application aligns with your ideal team member/candidate.

Best regards,

Diana (Da Yeon) Choi
