E stands for the experience or educational qualifications.

A have a stands for any achievement you have gained in your life so far.

T is the type of person you are and what you can bring to their company.

"Thank you for giving me this opportunity. I already have the skills and qualities to meet the expectations of the role. I have a completer-finisher; someone who could be relied upon to get a job done on time and to a great standard. I am reliable, flexible and adaptable and I will carry out tasks outside of my job description. My educational qualifications are a good match for this role and I have experience working in teams at dealing with customers which means I can really hit the ground running. I have a track record of achievement. Not only did I achieve excellent grades at College. I was often praised in my last role for my speed of work and how I would get more work done than the average person. If you hire me, I will be the type of employee who will embrace change positively, be a great role model for the company and take ownership of my ongoing development."
