Cover Letter

(Liezel Pretorius)

DETERMINED, DETERMINED, DETERMINED!

The harder the challenge, the greater the reward

A bit about myself:

• I have a bubbly personality

• Super hard working

• Very punctual

• I love interacting with people

• Not afraid to take any risks

• I take initiative when it comes to butting heads with a “roadblock”

• Try to solve problems on my own before asking for assistance

• Always eager to learn new things

• Hate wasting time

• Well organized – bit of a neat freak

• Always get straight to the point

• Fun to be around with

• Do take the feelings of others into consideration

• Always respectful towards my co-workers

• Fast and accurate typing skills

I have gained a lot of experience along the way working in different types of work environments. Worked along a few exceedingly difficult people, very easy-going people and very shy people.

As a Personal Assistant I have found myself in all kinds of situations. Always ending up on top of my game. I am not a push over and can stand my ground with whomever I need to work with. The main reason of me assisting is because I like to be the right hand “man”. I like to take charge of someone else’s issues and be the second pair of eyes and ears - the one to turn to for loyalty and trust. Not afraid to get my hands dirty.

To add me to your payroll will be a huge benefit for not only you but your company. I am the “go to” girl not only in assisting the main members of the company but also anyone who needs a bit of help.

I do thank you for taking the time in reading my cover letter and reviewing my CV. Personal Information
