To Whom It May Concern: Holder of a bachelor’s degree in Modern Languages and Letters (general concentration) and currently a student in a master’s program (modern languages with a focus on business), I am writing to submit my application for the student job opening in the Center of English Corpus Linguistics.

I am willing to work for ten to fifteen hours a week during this term and/or during August.

If the job does not enable homeworking, I will not be able to work during this term, as I will be studying in Spain from now through June.

I believe to have acquired the required skills in the knowledge of English for this job.

I have always had a particular interest in the English language.

When I was eighteen, I had the opportunity to go live abroad in an English-speaking country for ten months.

This experience allowed me to improve my understanding of the language as well as my communication skills.

I then decided to go study the language (along with others) at the UCL, as I wanted to practice the language in different areas such as linguistics and literature.

As my transcript of records shows, I have always managed to keep up with good grades in classes given in English.

I now believe to have acquired the necessary skills for this job.

I also have a particular interest in the study of English linguistics.

I have been studying English Linguistics for three and a half years now and I would be honored to participate in the constitution of a corpus of research.

I already had the opportunity to work with existing corpora on a grammar-related aspect within the frame of my bachelor research paper with Professor Sylviane Granger.

I then decided to go one step further and I chose to do my master’s thesis in English linguistics as well.

I am highly motivated in working for the CECL.

I am convinced that this working experience to be extremely fulfilling and enriching, especially as it would provide me with a concrete experience in the field of linguistics, which would definitely be helpful for my master’s thesis and my professional future.

Thank you for your consideration and for your time.

Please accept, Sir, Madam, the assurance of my highest consideration.

Do not hesitate to contact me at your earliest convenience to discuss student job opportunities.
