Here is my cover letter:

RE: Project Officer

Dear [FONT=&#26032]Dr. XX:[/FONT]


I would like to apply[FONT=&#26032] for the above position as I believe my work experience and educational background meet the job requirements. I graduated from the University of XXX with a Bachelor of Arts degree and I got [FONT=&#26032]my[/FONT] Master of Arts degree in Social Science from the University of XXX. I am now working as a senior research assistant at the Institute of ABC. [/FONT]
[FONT=&#26032] [/FONT]
[FONT=&#26032]Having worked as a research assistant for nearly three years, I have gained significant experience in research. I am able to analyze a large scale survey data set. I also have solid experience in conducting individual and focus group interview, and coding and analyzing qualitative data such as transcripts and school reports. I am also familiar with social research computer applications such as SPSS and NVivo. Besides, I got the chance to write research report and present it in public seminars. [/FONT]
[FONT=&#26032] [/FONT]
Since I have worked at the institute for nearly three years, I am familiar with its organization and administrative procedures. For example, I know how to hire student helper and part-time research assistant, how to book venues and equipments for seminar and conference, and where and whom to seek help from when I encounter administrative matters. Through conducting the research projects, I have also gained valuable experience in liaising with external parties such as schools, non-governmental organizations and government departments.

[FONT=&#26032]Moreover, I am [FONT=&#26032]self-motivated and[/FONT] able to work independently. In most of the time, I [FONT=&#26032]work[/FONT] with minimal supervision. But I am also able to work as a good team player, which is demonstrated [FONT=&#26032]through[/FONT] my active participation in student [FONT=&#26032]society [/FONT]and alumni association. [/FONT]

Attached is my resume and I would be very pleased to have opportunity to interview with you and I hope you will give my candidacy favorable consideration. Thank you.[FONT=&#26032][/FONT]

Sincerely,


[FONT=&#26032] [/FONT]
