Placement Application Tips
Just as there is a tremendous number of placements abroad, there is a huge variety of application processes. Each organization has a unique deadline, requirements and expectations. For example, while most internships will require a CV and an application letter, others will request writing samples, transcripts or recommendations.
The placement application letter accompanies your CV. Although the two documents overlap slightly, they differ in several ways:
The CV summarizes all your qualifications. The letter shows how your qualifications can help the organization meet its needs, how you differ from other applicants, and that you have some knowledge of the organization.
The CV uses short, parallel phrases and sentence fragments, the letter uses complete sentences in well-written paragraphs.
Here you can find usefull tips and examples in order to write a good application letter. You can also find recommendations to prepare for your application interview.
