Cover Letter
I am a young, vibrant and energetic young individual. I have my goals set and I know what I would
like to achieve in my personal life and career.
Since I left school I went on studying a National Diploma in Event management, however I did not
complete the course at the time, it is still one of my goals to complete this. Being a student I have
learnt a lot of things about life and it has pretty much opened my eyes to what is truly out there.
I would never let an opportunity slip through my hands. I am also not a lazy worker as I believe that
success will only be achieved through hard work.
I have work at two restaurants in the past four years and I truly enjoyed the industry so much. I am a
peoples person and it pleasures me to be around different kind of people on a daily bases. I have also
worked at an events company for a year and believe that these two industries fit hand in hand, hence
why I have got such a big passion for both these industries.
I don’t let any negative conflict get me under, as I am a very positive person and believe that one does
not have to judge. I always deliver my best even right down to the clothes I wear.
I am a great team player and leader as I always get along with everyone in a group. Just as much as I
enjoy group work I have the ability to work on my own with no supervision needed because once I
know where I’m off too Ill execute my given task to the best of my capabilities, with that said, I’m not
scared to take on any advice and constructive criticism as I know it can only benefit me.
I have the ability to adapt quickly to my surroundings. I’m also not a person who likes to lag or
struggle with anything as I can get a bit impatient when it comes to that, so if a situation like that
happens I’ll be the first one to try simplify or find a solution to the problem.
To others I’m an inspiration, I’m humble and I acknowledge what been done. I also pick up on change
whether it’s a rule, décor or emotion toward me. I always try to resolve conflict first as I don’t believe
in holding a grudge on anything.
I manage my stress levels pretty well, enough so that the stress never influences my project or job. I
eliminate the cause of stress by identifying and resolving it. I believe that one is unable to work with
unnecessary stress. I also try preventing stress by planning out a specific task or project.
Further a more I’m career driven and a motivated person who wants to see growth and success in
everything I do.
