                       Dear Mr Tar Tar,

 I would like to respond to your advertisement for English teacher that I am looking forward to applying                 for this year. I am Hnin Eain Phyu and I am a freelance English teacher who has been working for more                  than 9 years. I have some teaching experience not only for young learners but also for preschoolers.                     I believe I am the one you need for your new role.

 The bulk of my work involves designing preschool curriculum, counselling with parents and new                               teachers and teaching English with fun and activeness. I am always ready to learn new things and alert                   to share my colleagues every time they need my help so I can say I am very good at communication                       and collaboration. I enjoy working together with every member because I have worked as a team leader                 in some schools.

  As I am a forever learner, I keep learning to become a professional teacher. Now I can hold TKT                             certificate and TESOL certificate as well. But I will never stop my learning and I will do the best for all                       skills what a professional teacher needs. Then, I have had some opportunities to give 2 months trainings                 to young learner teachers in villages that is a kind of research for my role and quite meaningful for my                     life. Moreover I would very much like the opportunity to both bring my experience and enthusiasm to this                 role while continuing to develop professionally and personally.

  Finally, thanks a lot reading my e-mail with patience. If I have got opportunities, I would like to discuss                     the position with you in person because I very much feel we would be a good fit for each other.

                     I am looking forward to hearing from you.

                    Honestly, 

                    Hnin Eain Phyu

As far as I can tell, when you want to apply for a job, you should describe your actual skills and how you have used them to resolve challenges using the START strategy.

Additional tips from me:

1. If you have any protfolio it is good to include it with CV as well, especially when you are applying for the creative job.
2. Sometimes your clients or previous employers are giving the reverences. It is nice to show them as well, because it is an evidence for your good work.
3.  Any client name is more than appriciated, because the potential employer can imagine the scale of a project that you are working at e.x. The Wallmart with a lot of communication campaigns will be different than the small local e-commerce.
