************@*****.***
Dear Sir/Ma’am,
After completing my MBA from Symbiosis in Bengaluru, India, I worked in client servicing roles in advertising agencies for almost 4 years. In April 2015, I landed a job at a digital advertising agency in Bahrain called 4SPOTS which deals with website and app development and social media management. As a Project Manager, the roles within my job include:
● Being the middle man between the client and the agency from the beginning to the rollout of the project
● Understanding of wireframes and design in relation to UX/UI
● Requirements analysis
● Documentation of progress within a project
● Tracking and ensuring on time project delivery
● Client interaction, review and follow up on a regular basis
● Quality assurance and sanity checks on ongoing or finished products
● Understanding of Wordpress and Drupal CMSs
● Hand-holding clients that are new to website and app development I believe my strengths and competencies lie in:
● Strategizing alternate action plans to diffuse tense and challenging situations that are beneficial to both the client and the agency
● Keeping my work organized and quality oriented
● Working in tandem with my creative and development team to deliver a crisp product to my clients within the agreed deadline
● Taking on projects midway and successfully bringing them to completion I’m sure my experience will allow me to work alongside your team and be an asset to your company.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Yours sincerely
Sandeep David Rao

Over 8 weeks, I interviewed 200 Bahrainis, from villages all over the country to find out which Citrus-flavoured drink they preferred and why. The reasons for their preference of Mirinda Citrus were due to reasons such as taste, packaging and ready availability in the market. 2. BBA Summer Internship (2006)
