Dear Ms. XXXXXXXX,

 

I really like the way you teach in our class. I am happy that I got a teacher like you to get oriented myself with the Canadian Job market. In fact the Program is good enough for the new immigrant like me and I got the chance at the right place at the right time.  Your valuable teachings will help me a lot to reach me in my desired destiny with confidence.   I would like to thank you for the assistance and advice you are continuously pouring on us.

 

My short term goal is to get a job in Hotel and/or Restaurant sector as a front office assistant. Though I had 2 years work experience in reputed Travel agencies in India I want to switch over.   As far as I know in Travel Agencies the rate of salary is very low and low salaried income will be a big problem to sustain myself alone in Toronto city. 

 

In my long term goal I have plans to invest in real estate market and might start a business because I don’t like to spend and end my life as an employee and am compelled to pay a huge amount of  tax to Government when I work, when I earn and when I will die.   The employee is the one who get taxed highly on salaried income by the Government.  If we move to other sectors like Passive income, portfolio income, business and investing we have lot of loopholes to save tax and enjoy other facilities.  From this point of view I would like to congratulate you that you formed a company to serve people for which I really feel good and proud of you.

 

 

Wish you a good luck!!

 

Regards

Subject: Hello, how are you?

Dear Ms. XXXXXX;
I have been very confused at the beginning of this
 programme regarding the outcomes of the programme to me. 
But everyday I came to the class,
I learned a lot of different things about the work
expectations and the right way to find. So I am very
thankful for your patience and help to all of us in
the class.
I am much more confident what to do for looking for a
job, how to be successful in the interviews and what I
have to do in an organization? I really do believe
that all the certificates we get during the program
will have a positive impact to the employers.
Besides all these good things I have still some
concerns about myself related my resume. I know I have
to change something in it.But I am sometimes lost in
the dark about how to get a job in my field. Because
according to my past interview experiences in the GTA
area, I have sen that people find my resume over
qualified and did not want to give a mid-management
level. And when I apply for a management position they
are willing to hire a much more experienced person who
has got Canadian experience.
From the things I have noticed from the knowledges you
share with us, Canadian companies are looking for
people who has got the managerial skills to take the
initiative and accomplish the goals of the company
within their mission statement. This vision you have
given to us make me much more optimist than before for
my future in Canada.
 
Thank you very much for your cooperation with us and I
hope we will have the chance to come together from
time to time after we have find out the jobs we are
looking for and share our experience again.
 I will be appreciate to hear from you related your
observations about myself and I hope this is also a
nice experience for you too.
Sincerely Yours,
XXXXXXXX XXXXXXXX

Hello Ms XXXXXX,

 

I am, one of your students from the Hospitality class. My name is XXXX. I came from Turkey. I have been to Canada almost 6 months. I really happy to be here and to meet new people, to know new culture. Your hospitality course is very usefull for me  because I belive lifelong lerning. I really like to refresh my knowledge. I would like to acknowledge you about my backgroung.

 

I graduated from Tourism and Hotel Service Department In Bilkent University.During my summer trainning I worked for Turkish Airline as a ticket reservation clerck. I learned Troya system that is used for ticket reservation. Moreover, I also worked as a domestic ticket sales agent for Turkish Airlines. After my graduation, I started to work at the Ataturk International Airport as a FIDS ( fligth information display system) shift leader during 1,5 year. After my success my manager promoted me as a Assistant Operation Manager. I was working in this title during 3,5 year.

 

I would like to give some information about my hard skills,soft skills and language skills. I know Ms Office programs such as Word, Excell, Powerpoint, Outlook. Furthermore I have also some language skills. My native language is Turkish. English is my second language. I also know French and I have basic Spanish knowledge. I would like to explain my soft skills while giving an example. Before becomming to assistant operation manager I was working as a FIDS shift Leader. All of us were new and we were not familiar with the system. After a while, I recognize that my colleages were doing lots of mistakes while doing their jobs. I decided to retrained them during 1 week and finally our team became the most successful team of the month.

 

Canada is a Multinational Country, I belive that I am the right person to be hired.

 

Best Regards,

 

XXXXXXXXX
