In addition to my extensive years of experience my Curriculum Vitae typically accompanies this letter, to express my interest in discussing, the opportunity presented which is very appealing. I hope that my strong experience with Student Governance & Development as well as my knowledge within the Higher education sector will make me a very competitive candidate for this position. I consider myself as an honest, responsible, and caring individual with excellent people skills, aiming to perfect modern education, training and
development and any challengers that the youth would experience whilst learning, constantly researching ways to innovate, inspire train and develop students, for the betterment of society.
I am a first year PHD- Management Sciences - specializing in Business Administration with a published article for Research in Social Sciences and Technology- Exploring Service Accessibility and Quality for Differently-Abled Students: A Qualitative Analysis at a South African University of Technology, having additional sixteen years of uninterrupted record of service at the Durban University of Technology, My creative skills which is currently being used internationally to raise awareness on
(Poverty) in Africa “Street Children” - was published by a Dr. Neela Dabir Tata Institute of Social Sciences Mumbai India. I have gained many years of experience in project
management, training and development, operational
planning of student’s events which is all within the lines of the mission and visions of the higher education system as per public laws and legislations, and its prescribed applications. My passion for teaching, training and development coupled with my excellent administrative skills has opened me up to various methods to minimize social barriers of communication between various cultures by learning to speak as many languages as possible namely: - Conversational Afrikaans, Basic Hindi, Beginner Turkish, Basic Zulu, Beginner French, Basic sign language for Deaf students, Level 1 Mandarin including, teaching English (TEFL/TESOL 120 HOURS) allowing me to better my communicational, planning and organizational skills. My ability to work independently as well as function optimally as part of a dynamic team is what adds to my diverse people skills. I have some mentoring, monitoring, judging and evaluating skills for youth projects, as i volunteer as part of the Eskom Young Science Projects Initiative Drive, using my free time to research methods to be creative by using PowerPoint Presentations, charts etc. to make learning and understanding easier for the students.
I sincerely hope that my information suffices. However, should you require any other documentation. Please feel free to contact me on 082-*******.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Yours sincerely
