Dear Hiring Manager,
I was very excited to see a career opportunity from your company. I made the research about the
role and its requirements. With my qualifications and skills, I think I am a considerable candidate
for this role.
I don't have work experiences in the companies before because I was struggling with depression
and anxiety since I was in my second year in the University. However, I did pass every semester
and graduated with an Honours Degree. After graduating in June of 2019, I tried to apply for the
jobs in the UK. Unfortunately, I didn’t get any job before my visa expired. Therefore, I had to come
back to Myanmar and move back in with my family in October of 2019.
Since then, I did freelance design projects for a number of clients, hoping to support myself
financially. However, the pay rates in Myanmar is very low that it’s impossible for most of the
people to live independently. Living in a household with domestic violence and a country with no
protection against it, I have decided to apply for jobs abroad. Even though I have a degree in
Architecture, I have a year of work experience in Design and illustration and working freelance
had taught me time management, working with deadlines and communicating with the clients.
Thave considered myself as a victim, I thought I was weak and I thought I would need someone to
save me from my miserable life. At 22 years old, I realised that I could just walk out of the
situation and be strong. That’s why I have decided to take responsibility for myself and trying my
best to be financially independent.
With the Covid-19 case happening, it’s a lot more difficult to achieve my goals. But I'm not giving
up. Ihave been through so much for someone my age, giving up now would be silly.
Even though my reason for applying the job is personal, I can guarantee that your company will
get a hundred percent of my professional capabilities. I can also move/ travel for work if needed.
Since I am a Generation Z, I can not only bring a new perspective to your company but also learn
from the traditional way of working.
If it is difficult for you to consider me due to my location, I can prove my skills by working on a
project you assign me on a deadline.
‘Thank you for considering me as a candidate.
With Regards,
Em Mon
