It’s a personalized and well though-out piece of work and not just a rehashing of the resume. A motivation letter must be structured around 3 paragraphs on 15-20 lines no more :
- You and the company: for what reasons are you selecting this company, why you would like to work there…
- I: experiences and qualities. It’s the most important part.
- Us: we can collaborate.
Finish with a formal greeting. Think of tabulation. Proof read—there should be no mistakes.
You can send it directly by email along with your resume. Attachments must be downloaded in PDF format. The name of the file should mention your name.
