COVERING LETTER
To Whom It May Concern:
I, Rosa Santos would like to take this opportunity to give you a synopsis of myself. I’m passionate about what I do, and I strive for excellence and accuracy. I enjoy working under pressure and am particularly satisfied once I have attained my goals. I am deadline driven and a team player. I have an analytical mind. Being exposed to the corporate world has armed me with the necessary skills and knowledge to tackle any task on hand. It has also given me the opportunity to communicate with different people at different levels.
I hold a diploma in Purchasing & Supply Management, a diploma in Executive Secretarial & Business Administration, a diploma in Wordperfect 5.1, a diploma in Lotus 1-2-3 & Macros and more than 10 years of experience in the buying field. I have obtained a distinction in Wordperfect 5.1.
I held a buyer position at SABEX (an export division of SAB Miller). That position gave me extensive exposure in the field of Import & Export of raw materials and engineering equipment to various breweries around the world. My position as a Buyer at Impala Warehousing and Logistics (Trafigura), gave me an in depth knowledge of Copper and mining supplies.
I believe that I would be an asset to any company/group. Your consideration will be highly appreciated.
Yours truly,
Rosa Santos
