Hi all,
I hope this is in the right subforum. It's funny that I, being a Dominican and theoretically knowing better than most of you how things work here, am asking for your advice on this subject. Maybe it is because even though one has to treat this from the viewpoint that we're in the DR and things are interpreted in a particular way, this is a matter that could well be adaptable to a similar situation in another country.
Cover letters are not of common usage in the DR. In fact, you could say empirically that 90% of job applicants don't use this resource regardless of their qualifications, competencies and academic background. However, as I'm thinking about applying at Cervecer?a Nacional Dominicana I'm going to make the most of my possiblities to get an interview and seizing the reality mentioned above that cover letters are not common here, this would be an element that can allow me to stand out from the myriad of prospective employees at CND.
I got the names and positions of the HR Director, Marketing Manager and Advertising Manager. My interest is in the fields of Advertising and Marketing.
My questions are:
1) To whom should I send my cover letter and r?sum?? All these three or just the HR Director?
2) Am I aiming to high in the hierarchy of Cerveceria? Should I send my CV to a person at a lower rank?
3) Grupo Leon Jimenes receives r?sum?s on Wednesdays, but I'm afraid that if I content myself with that my r?sum? can get lost in the bulk of all. Not only that, but that the writing of the cover letter would be useless since it won't get to the incumbent persons. Is there a way that I can leave my r?sum? through that official medium and that in fact my cover letter gets to the persons that should review my file?
4) Perhaps if I follow the path of submitting my papers as a correspondence to the persons I mentioned, someone from reception or something is going to ask me "who's that for?" or things like that. What can you say about that?
5) This is something not related to the topic I started now. How do I stop using the personal pronoun "I" in English? I find I use it to much! It sickens me!
Thanks guys and I'm waiting for your replie :tired: s
