TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN
Letter of motivation
I would like to thank you for giving me the opportunity to apply for the advertised position at your establishment.
I am a mature and focused woman, and I am looking for better employment opportunities. I have experience in office administration, receptionist, and knowledge of the security sector. I have worked with Pastel, Pastel Payroll, Invoicing, Quotations, balancing of accounts, banking, data capturing, client liaison and interviewing of new staff/candidates.
I am a self-motivated, head strong, open minded and trustworthy individual. My greatest satisfaction is been confident that my work is up to standard of the Employer. I am passionate about team work, dedication and self-discipline. I thrive under pressure and meet my deadlines on time and without needing to be promoted.
Challenges in the work place are expected, and are merely stepping stones to success. I face problems and confrontations with a level head and handle them cool, calmly and professionally. I undertake queries one at a time and make thorough decisions before I present it to my co-workers or superiors. I accept correction and will always ask for an added opinion on a matter.
I take it upon myself to help strengthen and motivate my colleagues and team members for a more productive, healthy and happy working environment. Although there are standards in place, I like to take in my stride to improve.
I have the personality to lead, coach, develop and motivate teams to achieve goals/deadlines and get things done.
I am approachable yet stern and carry myself respectfully, so I will be confident when speaking to clients or work colleagues.
I hope this motivation meets with your satisfaction.
Yours Faithfully
Marianne Pillay
