Hello. I have written a job application in English. English is my second language and I may make grammatical mistakes. I have removed my own name the name of the company. This should not show up on Google. How does this application appear to you? Please rate it in the poll above. Thank you very much for your help.

I think this subforum is indexed on Google, so you might want to edit your post and move the content to a Google doc you can remove when you're done soliciting feedback. Your application is compelling, especially the opening. It would be considered too long though in the U.S., based on lots of workshops I've attended and career articles I've read. Their general guideline is usually three concise paragraphs. Good luck. :)

Thanks for the input. It's now a top secret Google document.

It may be a bit long, yes. I'm trying to stick with a guideline I got from a Danish job application expert.

I like this a lot! Very well written. While job apps are typically shorter (at least in the US), I like this the way it is, because it is very well written, and that by itself supports your claims of quality work and strong communication skills.
