Concentrating on your job while
living away from your family is difficult and sometimes your family needs you
while it may be facing problems. This is situation many young professionals
find themselves in. Your work takes you places but also keeps you away from
family. Often multinational organisations have an internal transfer policy to
allow you to move to an office in the city of your choice.
The reason for requesting a transfer
can be any of the following.
1. Your family is facing some problems
such as prolonged illness in the family
2. You are getting married and want to
settle in the city of your choice
3. Your spouse has got a new job in a
different city and you wish to shift your location
4. You are simply not happy with the
city you are living in or have become homesick
Its time you wrote your transfer
request letter. Before writing the letter make sure you find out about your
organisation’s transfer policies and would your transfer entail a change in job
profile or change in teams.
Following is a sample template for Location
Transfer request letter for personal reasons.

Transfer
Dear Ranjan
Hope you find this letter in good
health.
I am writing to you to request a
transfer to our Mumbai office after the completion of the ongoing phase of our
project by the end of September. As you know I am planning to get married by
the end of this year and my spouse and family are well settled in Mumbai. I
wish to initiate my personal transfer as per the company policy which allows
relocation upon marriage.
Since our team does not work out of
the Mumbai office I understand that I will have to join the new project team in
Mumbai. Please let me know to whom I should initiate the knowledge transfer sessions
to take over my responsibilities.
It was a wonderful experience working
with this team and I have cherished memories here. But it’s time to devote
quality time to my family.
Kindly accept my transfer request and
initiate my transfer formalities.
Thank you and wish you the very best.
Please let me know if any official information is required from my end to
initiate the transfer.
Warm Regards!

admission in university
Dear Sir,
I am applying for the “Master of Business Administration”
program at ISB Hyderabad starting in September 2015. My career ambition is to
become a successful operations manager.
In High School, I studied Math, Physics, chemistry and Computer Science as major subjects. I completed my B.Tech in Electrical and Electronics Engineering in Amity University in April 2011 with an average score of 92 percent. I scored the highest average score in our department. Then I joined DLF as Project Engineer, where I work currently.

I completed my B.Tech in Electrical and Electronics Engineering in Amity University in April 2011 with an average score of 92 percent. I scored the highest average score in our department. Then I joined DLF as Project Engineer, where I work currently.
As my first exposure to Management studies, I took the course "Principles of Management" (P.O.M.) in my studies. I was especially surprised that despite having mastered technology, technology-wizards faltered at business and ran into bankruptcy. After attending your Open Day, I became acquainted with the fascinating study of Management. I want to study at your university and focus on Management studies since it gives me an opportunity to combine my technical knowledge and skills with the guidelines of management to become a superior leader.
Complementing my strong academic performance are my advanced skills in communication. In several of the projects during my job, I was responsible for building and leading our project team. As the team leader, I was responsible for not only my performance, but also the output of the workmen and supervisors under me.
I want to study at ISB because of your outstanding educational system, focus on gathering relevant work experience, and your excellent facilities. From speaking with students and professors from your university and other universities, I am confident of my decision. With many distinguished Industry Managers as professors, I know that I will gain expert knowledge at the forefront of Management.
Given my past history of commitment to excellence, I am confident that I will bring a high level of energy and enthusiasm to your program. I am sure to exceed your expectations, because of both my academic and interpersonal skills as well as the experience gained from my internship. I will enrich the program by enabling fellow students and professors to benefit from my ambitious and open nature.
Thank you for considering my application, and I look forward
to your acceptance.
Sincerely yours,
Sincerely yours,
Uday Chopra

5 MUST HAVES & MUST DOS IN ANY RESUME!
13:10 |
5 Comments |
It is no secret that a sure shot way to get an interview
for that much coveted dream job is a strong resume. If one cannot nail the
resume, whose sole purpose is to get you an interview, the said dream job is
almost impossible to get! And thus I am
sure many of you have wondered, as have I, about what it is that one definitely
needs to have on their resumes to ensure a solid chance at an interview. As we
all know, when it comes to anything related to careers or jobs, there is never
enough advice and people are ever ready to get tips and tricks to help get that
dream job. While the internet is full of a billion advice for you to nail the
resume, here I am with just five simple pointers for an efficient resume.
1. Keep it Easy
on the eyes
In a job market where there are so many applicants for
one job vacancy, it is extremely critical that your resume is read and a resume
that is difficult to read almost always remains unread. Thus it is extremely
important that a resume is easy on the eyes. Here are a few tips to make sure
your resume is easy to read.
- Your resume should have an easy-to-read font and a font size between 10 and 12 pt
- While there is no page limit for resumes these days, it is best if you avoid too many long paragraphs and make bullet points – too much text tends to leave the reader dazed
- There should be ample space between sections to demarcate them
- Use underlining and bold formatting of words and phrases to let the reader know what you want them to read
It is generally advised to use a block format for writing most applications.

2.
Make sure it is relevant
An efficient resume is one that can clearly communicate
the position towards which it is targeted. Lack of focus in a resume results in
the hiring manager not seeing the connection between your skills and
qualifications and the requirement of the job. Thus a resume that has focus
with clear indication of the experiences and accomplishments relevant to the
position is a powerful one.
It is advisable to remove anything that is not in line with one’s career goals or job requirement. Its best to support your resume with a targeted cover letter. Click here to find relevant cover letters for your application.

3. Use the right keywords
Be it manually by hiring managers or through online
applicant tracking software, resumes are often scanned quickly to select good,
relevant resumes from a pile of many! So it’s always advisable to have a resume
that is keyword rich. Keywords are small words which communicate important
information about your resume. They help in ensuring your resume reflects both
– skills required for the position and the skill you possess. Keywords are the
best the way to ensure you survive the scanning process.
4. Select the Best Resume Format
A resume has a lot of information and so it is important
that all this information is laid out in a way where experiences and skills
relevant to the position are noticed first. Typically a hiring manager scans
the resume for 8 to 10 seconds and so it is advisable to prioritize and
highlight relevant skills and experience so that they can see that your
accomplishments support the job requirements. It is also a good idea to start bullet
points describing your accomplishments by describing the result achieved
followed by how.
5.
Seek other’s
Opinions
Last but not the least, always get a second or third
(preferably professional) opinion about the resume. Other opinions are often
unbiased and can point out issues in the resume that would otherwise go
unnoticed by you. Professional opinions are the best since they know exactly
what hiring managers look for in a resume and give direction and tips to make
sure your resume gives you the maximum possible benefits and bags you that
interview!
I hope that helped. Stay tuned to this spot for more tips
and tricks for an awesome resume!
