Sir Stevens,

I am writing to apply suitable vacancies in your reputed organization.

I have gained my degree from university of Texas and completed Diploma in accounting. I also had an advance knowledge in D365.

As you will see from the enclosed resume, my work experience and education are clearly mentioned. I hope to transfer the skills that I have acquired over the past four years to the job in your alleged organization.

Be an asset to your respected organization by working as a team player with absolute confidence and commitment. I would welcome the opportunity to discuss, how my experience and educational background would qualify me to be a member of your reputed organization.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Thanks, and best regards

John Chanse

· Make corrections to both documents.

-Cover letter does not start with a proper salutation.

- Cover letter should close with a signature, here he closes with just his name; he should close with his name and business information.

- The document does not follow a professional format.

- The resume should contain a headline with the applicant's name.

- The competency section should be arranged properly in bullet points in a concise manner.

- The work experience section should be arranged in a chronological manner i.e. the latest work experience should be added first in the work experience section.

- At the end of the resume, there should be interest areas and any hobbies to be added

- Competencies should be expressed in greater detail.

- Typing speed should be shared under competencies, especially since the occupant has a profession in Accounting. 

- Manager/ Supervisors contact information should be listed under the occupant’s position in "Work Experience". 

- Should have provided more information regarding his educational achievements.

· Revised document to this discussion forum.
