Changing the wording is ok, just not the info.
I am Brazilian, but for the past 12 consecutive years I have been living in the United States. All of my studies (from 7th grade up
to college) were completed here. I graduated from Kennesaw State University in July of 2007 with a Bachelors in Business
Administration double majoring in Management and Marketing. The course duration stipulated by Kennesaw State University specializing in one major is supposed to last 4 years, but with hard work and determination I was able to complete 2 majors in 2
years and 11 months. Besides fluent English, I also speak fluent Spanish, and have studied French for 4 years. As far as work
experience goes, I have done numerous translation/interpretation volunteer work for all of the above mentioned languages for a
long period of time. In March of 2007 I had participation in the organization of the National Collegiate Sales Competition which
had the involvement of 50 universities and 49 companies such as Hewlett Packard, Johnson & Johnson, and AT&T. At National
Construction Law Center, my responsibilities included but were not limited to: database entry/management, generating leads,
and translation/interpretation services. At Mag’s Upholstery, I was in charge of all client relations, supply chain management,
schedules, and marketing efforts such as the company’s website. As the office assistant of Marietta Middle School, I was in
charge of activities such as translation and interpretation, management of student files, registration, etc.

Hi,

This is overall very good, but I hope it is not a cover letter. A cover letter should not be a restatement of your resume. I think your first paragraph is very good for a cover letter, but your second paragraph needs to be consolidated. Instead of being a narrative of your resume, you should focus on the skills you have picked up, and not necessarily name where you used them. (Except I would include the organization of the conference because the number of parties involved is impressive.) Instead keep the letter short and sweet and give more of a summary overview of how many years experience in management and coordination you have and some of your top skills and abilities. Also include why you want to work for company X! This is CRUCIAL.



Regardless, here are my edits:

couple notes:



"I am Brazilian..." -- we need something in here about your right to work in the US. How is it that you're here and able to stay? If this is a cover letter for a job application, this doesn't go in the first sentence. Move it down to where you refer to your multilingualism.



Bachelor's in Business -- note the possessive apostrophe. However, that's not the proper name of a degree. This should be something like 'Bachelor of Science in Business Administration' or 'Bachelor of Arts in Business' or "Bachelor of Business Administration" -- whatever it says on the diploma. Notice we have "a bachelor's degree" (possessive) but "a Bachelor of Arts" (singular)



Spell out numbers such as 4 (four), 12 (twelve), 2 (two), etc... except dates.



While it's very likely that your accomplishment of completing that degree in 2 years 11 months was significant and required a lot of hard work -- many people reading this will assume "oh, it must have been one of those fake degrees" or that you somehow got around the system. Not everyone will have heard of Kennesaw State University and you don't want to imply any substandard program.



Don't end with "etc." - just put a period there after registration. You've already said "such as" in that sentence.



just a few thoughts...

For this passage, I could make handiest moderate alterations, if my target have been to hold it just about your wording: "Even if the proof to your guide can aid your declare of the mystical, you stay aware of the day-to-day skeptics who discredit your ideals through capitalizing on their perspective during your textual content, where you say..." I could recollect rewording the passage into no less than 2 shorter sentences, if viable. What you've written here's fairly a mouthful, and the sentence is not even completed. Is this supposed to be addressed immediately to the writer of the guide at the paranormal, or are you scripting this as a guide assessment? If you're writing it as a guide assessment, I could transfer from moment-character (you) to 3rd-character (he). That sounds extra official. Good success with it!
