Subject: Peer Review of Nicholas Jang’s Application Package Draft
Hi Nicholas,
Thank you for submitting the draft application package for review. Your package seems to include all key information required by the recruiter and presented in a professional manner. A review of each section and thematic considerations follows.
First Impression
The report is generally well organized and follows a logical progression. Your resume and cover letter are perfectly tailored for the job you are applying for.
Job Posting
The job posting is included in the application and meets the requirement for submission.
Cover Letter
- The cover letter is well written and matches with the content of the attached resume.
- You have displayed your experience working within the industry which is good to capture the recruiter’s attention
- Consider mentioning one of your specific skills in the cover letter and using a specific event to support your claim.
Resume
- Sections are clearly identified with relevant items listed in chronological order
- You may specify the types of properties you have prepared for the appraisal report in the work experience section.
- Consider using more precise language instead of vague language such as “a variety events”
Reference Letter Requests
- The reference letter requests are well organized and follow the requirements specified in the textbook.
- Try phrasing the request in a way that does not make the person feel put on the spot. Rather than simply saying, “Please let me know if you are willing to provide a reference letter for this position” ask them whether they feel qualified or comfortable providing you with a reference.
Overall, your Application Package is nicely done and I enjoyed reading it. Please feel free to let me know should you have any questions.
Barton Lui,
