Dear Jason, 

My name is Eric and after reviewing your letter of application, I would like to ask you to become a team member on a collective writing team.

As a coder myself, I understand the difficulties of writing efficient and concise code that is easily understandable to other coders. Tesla is also an extremely difficult company to qualify for and the fact that you were able to get a summer internship at such a prestige company shows how hard of a worker you must be.  Another quality that you possess which I believe will be extremely beneficial in a group environment is the ability to work under pressure as there are going to be many deadlines we have to complete throughout this course.

I have attached my application at the bottom of this email for your reference. If you have any more questions or concerns for me please contact me here at eric.c1997@hotmail.com and I will be happy to answer any questions that you have.

Sincerely,

Eric Chang

Dear Cheryl, 

My name is Eric and after reviewing your letter of application, I would like to ask you to become a team member on a collective writing team.

As a person who has also worked with special needs children before, I understand both the difficulties and the level of dedication needed to take care of kids with special needs. As the level of patience as well as creativity you acquire when learning to teach special needs children are all attributes that I believe will be a valuable asset to any writing team. In addition to that, the technical writing skills you gained when creating presentations, email, and proposals during your summer camp job  are also skills that will massively benefit any writing team. 

I have attached my application at the bottom of this email for your reference. If you have any more questions or concerns for me please contact me here at eric.c1997@hotmail.com and I will be happy to answer any questions that you have.

Sincerely,

Eric Chang

From reading your letter of application I was extremely impressed with the amount of work experience you have especially at a corporate level as you stated that you have worked with both PepsiCo and Sherwin-Williams. I believe that these technical writing skills you acquired at these large corporations will be a huge asset to any writing team. I also agree with your philosophy in group work and believe that communication and collaboration are the most essential qualities to have during group work.

ENGL 301: Technical Writing

University of British Columbia

2329 West Mall

Vancouver, BC V6T 1Z3

Dear Technical writing class 301:

I am here to apply for a position as a member of the Enligsh 301 writing team. As a potential member of your team, I aim to create an inclusive environment that promotes teamwork and encourages feedback as we each continue to develop our technical writing abilities.

I am currently a fourth year Mathematical student at UBC who has acquired a bit of technical writing skills through numerous extracurricular activities. Despite mathematics being a field that requires little to no technical writing skills, I was able to develop my technical writing skills during my temporary position as head lifeguard of Richmond Aquatics. During my time as head lifeguard, I was tasked to write daily reports that concisely summarizes the events that occurred during my shift in a professional matter. The second task I was assigned was then to write formal email request to our supervisors whenever we ran low on supplies such as gloves, bandaids, and ointments. 

My strengths in regards to technical writing is my ability to be a direct and concise. A lot of this stems from the fact that all of the formal documents I have written have required me to summarize a large amount of information in order for the reader to read the report quickly. My biggest weakness would then be my lack of consistency in writing as mathematics is not a field that requires much if any writing skills.  

My learning philosophy is that everyone learns differently and at their own pace. As a person who has taught both swimming and mathematics for several years now I have discovered that a majority of people learn things differently. Personally I thrive in an environment that is acceptive of constructive feedback, as I personally believe that the best way for people to grow is to take and be acceptive of the advice given by others.

If you need any further information from me please contact me at eric.c1997@hotmail.com thank you.
