need help from sr members, moderators --reg reference letter

Post by sssm » Sat Sep 16, 2006 6:35 pm

I am writing from India.. few queries

1. In one of the PSU companies where i worked for 3 years 7 months as systems engineer in EDP ( meaning: software mainetance and development department)..job which requires it to be an Engineering graduate, the reference letter looks like this

Certified that Mr. XXXX , staff number xxxxx served this organization as systems engineer from 1-apr-1997 to 30-nov-2000.

During his service Mr.XXXX worked in Material Management Systems group of Management Services Department. He was responsible for Maintenance of Material procurement related applications like Purchase enquiry,Purchase Order etc. He has guided a group of junior programmers team in migration of main frames systems to Oracle based based systems?

Des this look good enough? It doesnot tell anywhere that this job requires a graduation in Engineering. Do I need to add a photocopy of job advt. ( i don't have original news paper cutting) for which I applied in 1996 and got selected in it to prove that job requires guys to be engg graduates? or the above description itself is sufficient?

2. Name on the reference letter doesnot have my surname expanded.. for ex: say my name is Dotha Ram Kumar( as in Passport.. this letter has it showing as D. Ram Kumar. Is it fine? Also other variants like Dotha Ram ( lastname and firstname) have been used in other company reference letters..is it fine?

3. Which courier in India is safe to send Original certificates, application by ? DHL or Fedex.

4. My post graduation certificate shows Dotta Ram Kumar(say) wrongly written by hand by the person instead of Dotha. Now its too late to get it corrected( i passed out in 1996). So can I attach my provisional certificate too which has my student roll number mentioned..which can link these both certificates as proof.

5. Can someone please post a reasonably good cover letter or format f cover letter?

6. Can we download application and print it on a normal printer and use it or do we need a color printed form and fill the details?

7. Finally, I had a workpermit which expired in Jan 2003. Can I use it as additional supporting document and put it in miscellaneous section?

8. In the form, question 9 asks to provide necessary relevant qualifications to work in your chosen field..my answer is yes and i am claiming points under employment section( showing proof as reference letters from past employers). What additional documents are needed for this question 9?

-Thanks a lot..
Satish.

If you are lucky you may obtain points for work experience.

This is from guidance:

System programmers
Most systems programmers hold a degree in computer science. Employers
using computers for scientific or engineering applications usually prefer
graduates who have degrees in computer or information science,
mathematics, engineering, or the physical sciences. System programmers
are usually graduate level

I dont know system engineer and system programmer are the same.
So I understand that all system engineers. programmers, administrator ...
are graduate level.
