[Closed] Yet another grammar question

of the two the latter, but the pedants will be out in force shortly no doubt.

Neither. Don't say that you feel that you have the quals just state that you have them.

I feel strongly that I have all the qualifications you are looking for in a successful candidate, so I would like to apply for this position.

Should I change for:
I have all the qualifications you are looking for...
?

Looks like there's no grammatical problem with either of them to me, just really a preference in writing style.

More important question though: Do you really want to use that sentence?

Yes.

Plus, why do you want to apply?

or should it be all [b]of[/b] the qualifications ?

Plus, why do you want to apply?

EDIT
Better like that?
I have seen on the CCL website that you are offering a post-doctoral position in molecular modelling funded by the aeropath research programme.\\

I have all the of qualifications you are looking for in a successful candidate, so I would like to apply for this position and have the opportunity to work with your team.\\

"I feel strongly that" would be correct, if you were writing about feelings.

You either know that you have the qualifications (ie, they list a person spec) so you state that, or you suspect / believe you have the qualifications. In which case you try and make it sound as strong as possible, avoiding using words like "believe" and "feel".

"My heart knows that it is my destiny to fill this position"

OR

"I am applying for this position because my qualifications are perfectly suited to it".

🙂

I have the qualifications you are looking for in a successful candidate, and [this is where you can engage in a bit of supposition] believe I would be a good fit with your organisation.

If you google, there are a few lists of words that are good for this sort of thing - you don't have qualifications, you achieved them, and so on.

ok guys you've made a point. Back to drawing board.

Both would be OK, as above regarding the application.

Dear Fascist Bully Boy...

Juan, I liked the edited version you came up with.

Sentance 1 - I would like to apply for the position of blah blah blah.
Sentance 2 - I have all the relevant qualifications (or whatever from above) and wish to apply for the position because...

Sentance 3 - spell sentence correctly.

😉

Grammatically, the latter is correct.

"My heart knows that it is my destiny to fill this position"

I proofread a friend's Chinese housemate's application for an MSc (or something) at Cambridge and it had stuff like that in it.

Job applications would be so much more fun if you had to maybe sing them, in the style of a light operetta, or Thrash Metal... 😀

be more direct and positive and say:

I would like to apply for this position because I know I have the qualifications, skills, and experience necessary to succeed in this role.

... or hardcore punk at 225bpm

It's not "I would like to apply"... by sending in this letter, you [i]are[/i] applying.

Try "I would like to be considered for this position....."

Jozzer Hughes ,go on giz a job I can do that! Would that work for you?

Dear Sir / Madam.
