Dear Hiring Manager,

I have recently completed the Event Management Diploma Course at CDI College, graduating with honours while

working part time at a flooring company doing administrative work. Since taking this program, I have worked at different

events doing various tasks, these include putting together and distributing marketing materials; greeting and registering

exhibitors, speaker/MC’s and attendees; arranging displays, décor, room set ups and take downs; making appointments;

assisting load in/out; creating menus, gift certificates and name tags; collecting donations for prize draws; and purchasing

all necessary items on a budget.

I have organized end of season sports parties, community social gatherings, milestone birthday/anniversary parties over

ten years, I was part of the CDI College Mississauga Graduation Ceremony planning team and fundraising team for Big

Brothers Big Sisters, as well I worked as a hairdresser for five years.

Over the years I have come to understand that interpersonal skills, open communications and customer service are fuel for

this extremely fast paced industry. My passion is paying attention to what the clients need/want, going the extra mile to

make the clients happy, and creating something spectacular that they will remember for the rest of their lives.

I would like to offer my skills, experience, passion and creative ideas to maximize the success of your events. My resume

is enclosed, which will provide you with more information on my skills and accomplishments. As an enthusiastic event
