Some suggestions. Good luck.

Thank you very much billmcd for this answer. I'm working on it

[billmcd]

In my previious response I mistakenly crossed out the word "section" (in "reception section"). Also, the words "in group" should have been "in a group" or "with others". Sorry for overlooking my errors.

Looks good. A few more changes.

[caro44]

Thank you very much for your help billmcd. I really appreciate it

I have one question about the sentence "I realized earned a dossier"
I thought I could use "earn" when meaning "earn money" only, am I wrong?

When I wrote "I realized earned a dossier to my education about tourism and new technology.", I meant "I wrote a document about tourism and new technology." Is it the same meaning?

Have a nice Sunday

First, I didn't understand your use of "dossier". It would be better if you said that you "authored a paper on tourism". Second, the term "earn" is typically used in reference to money, but it can also be used to indicate that a person earns a degree from a university, earns a certificate for some activity or accomplishment etc. So, disregard my original use in your statement.

Thank you very much billmcd.
Now I understand better and I'll correct my letter.
Have a nice day

Carole,

First off, make sure you actually address the letter to someone by name. Make a phone call to find out who will be reading your resume. Do this for each cover letter!

Remember, you are writing this letter to a real person. No matter how many applications a hiring manager has to go through, a personal address is always appreciated.
