Purposive Communications 2 Notes 6
I served for six and half years as an instruction with your department and, in the four
years since I have left, I have grown in experience as an educator and a scholar. I am close to
completing my PhD in Literary studies from NUS, my dissertation of Charles Dicken’s “a
Christmas carol” is currently pending examination. At NUS, I serve as a teaching assistant for 4
sems at the Department of English Language and Literature (DELL), teaching Introduction to
Literature (EN1101) and Film and other cultural texts (EN2102). I concurrently took modules in
areas such as literary theory, cultural studies, the analysis of discourses and lots of other stuff. I
also have a background in creative writing, my undergraduate major; and in English language
studies, which was the focus of my work for a master’s degree. And I am trained in professional
education and have received favorable evaluations from my students both in UP and NUS.
Given my teaching experience, academic advancement, and excellent capabilities, I believe I am
suited for a position with the DECL.
Attached in this application are supporting documents which includes my resume,
undergraduate and graduate transcripts, evaluation of students, and sample syllabuses for
subjects I have taught. I am very much willing to come in for an interview. Hoping for your kind
consideration. Thank you very much.
Thanks

It is best to find out ahead of time which type of interview to expect and to
prepare appropriately for this kind of interview. It is normal to be nervous, but
there are ways of reducing this interview fear. The best way is to fight
nervousness is to be well-prepared for the interview. The following are some
general tips for preparing for an interview.
Have the right mindset. Remember that the primary goal of the interviewer
is to learn whether you have the skills, training, experience and interest necessary
to fulfill the requirements of the position. Answer their questions honestly so that
you may both find out if you can meet the company’s needs.
Research
Getting information about the company you are applying to so you can
adjust your responses to fit that company. Find out specifically about the
company’s leaders, its mission and vision or business philosophy, its products,
services, or customers, and its competition. Based on this, think about your goals,
strengths and weaknesses. Think about why the company would be interested in
you. Finally, think about what the job involves in terms of duties, hours, wages,
and opportunities for advancement.
Below are questions collated from various sources but mainly based on
those from The Professional Development Seminar Junior and Senior Course
Workbook. You should practice preparing responses for these general types of
questions.
Interviews typically ask the applicant if he/she has any questions. Take the
opportunity to ask about your duties, what it is like to work in the company, what
training programs are available and if there are possibilities for promotion from
this position, etc.
