دلوقتي نقدر نطلع على 3 different applications
1) Master’s degree in industrial biotechnology:
Motivation Letter: ……During my academic studies, I have been building a solid background on biotechnology applications. I have been learning how to implement the biological knowledge into potential applications.
Furthermore, I was interested in the major consideration while developing antimicrobials, therefore, I have published (The role of antibiotics resistance mutations in regulating the microbial vireluence) review article to address how to understand and implement the concept of antimicrobial resistance during the scaling of a novel antimicrobial for industry scale.
I believe that besides my medical biotechnology concentration, I was able to extend my knowledge to further biotechnology fields. I have learned more about the industrial biotechnology and trained to work with different microbiological analysis. In addition, I practiced what I learned during my internship in a food processing company.
In addition to my focus on the application of biotechnology into the community, I have been working as a junior research assistant in the field of microbiology to advance my academic knowledge and skills. Furthermore, our abstract submitted in XYZ conference awarded the second best abstract in the conference.
As a result, I believe that I would be a good candidate for this position…….
2) Scholarship:
Motivation Letter: ……..As a graduate of (….) university, I am seeking to expand my horizons in the field of industrial biotechnology by proceeding my Masters degree in the university of (…).
I believe that this opportunity will help me to transform the international recent advances in the field of industrial biotechnology from such a powerful research institute into a community application that influence the social economics.
Furthermore, I used to use my academic studies in the favor of my community. I have been communicating the recent advances in the biological research to the community with the biology club. In addition, as a project management specialist, we managed to develop new techniques for waste management with Enactus.
I have also served as a junior research assistant in the National Research Centre to participate in the national research that focuses on the challenges of microbial resistance.
I believe that this scholarship will enable me to extend my knowledge of industrial biotechnology where I could apply this knowledge in my community……..
3) QC specialist:
Motivation Letter: …..I believe that I fit for this vacancy since I have the required knowledge and skills. I had an internship as a QC specialist in food-processing company where I learned most of the recent techniques in QC. In addition, I worked as a junior research assistant to practice the major techniques in the microbiology such as ZYX that will enable me to process the samples efficiently
In addition, I am seeking to expand my knowledge and skills with all the required recent advances in the field of QC…….
و من هنا نلاحظ أن كل application بيتطلب خطاب الحافز بشكل مختلف، فعلى سبيل المثال الطلبات الأكاديمية بتسعى لرؤية خبرة أكاديمية و بحثية عند المتقدم في حين بعض المنح بتسعى للتأكد من أن المنحة ستعود بالنفع على المجتمع سواء للبلد الأم للطالب أو لبلد الجامعة و أخيراً و ليس أخراً في طلبات التوظيف، المؤسسات تسعى للتأكد من أن المتقدم عنده من الخبرة و المهارة الكافية لتأدية المهام المطلوبة في الوظيفة و السعي الدائم للتقدم.
و من المهم جداً تعرف خصائص الخطاب المطلوبة زي عدد الكلمات و الأسئلة المطلوب إجابتها من الجامعة. و أن خطاب التوصية بيختلف محتواه من مكان للآخر و لا يفضل أن يكون فيه كل المعلومات لكل ال applications.
