Points to remember
1 Don’t write more and don’t leave it empty. Make sure it’s professional. This is not the only format you can use. Try to make your point and give a brief description of yourself. Why they should give you sponsorship.
2 Your email address should be professional. Don’t use emails like coolboy@gmail.com etc find the mail address as humble as possible. anandsingh2017@gmail.com etc
3 Attach your CV in word format and clear scan copies from a scanner not from mobile phone pictures with proper name if it’s your 10th marksheet it should be named so.
4 The file of your CV with your name added in it example “CV Akshay Singh.”
5 Check double time for any grammatical or spelling mistakes. Don’t use short spelling. Example Hi for hello,dnt for don’t or do not,
6 If you receive a phone call make sure it’s the best time you can talk or better if you make time when you get it.
7 If you are attaching documents specify what documents. Birth certificate, 10th marksheet, address proof, photo ID proof etc.
I have tried my best to make it simple and easy. Don’t stop yourself to use your own ideas just make sure it’s the what you could do using polite and straight words to step on the first platform in the journey of becoming a Merchant Navy Officer.
Good luck.
Until next time.
