To whom it may concern,
I hope this letter finds you well.
I am a recent BA Psychology Honours graduate from the University of Johannesburg. It was with great enthusiasm that I viewed your post for the advertised job position. This is mainly because the advertised post lies within my area of interest. I am a fast learner and although my working experience is limited my learning potential makes up for what I lack in terms of experience. I am inspired by the way the organization serves its clients and I believe that I can add value to the organization by continuing to uphold the organizations standards and bringing about new ideas on how to improve the organization’s service to the clients. I am a young, African female who is passionate about providing the best service to clients because I believe that people always remember how others treat them. I am a keen learner and with the fourth industrial revolution upon us I am eager to learn and expand my technological knowledge to help the organization continue to provide the best service to its clients. Furthermore, I believe that I can use the skills that I already possess to meet the advertised role objectives and if they are not sufficient, I am willing to learn from senior staff members and colleagues. It is also worth mentioning that I am a team player and I truly believe that together we can do more. I am able to step up and take the lead when it is required that I do so, and I can take a step back and allow others to teach me and give me directives. Over the years I have dedicated my time to serving others and I have learnt that not all clients are the same, thus I try my best to give each client a tailored experience. My earliest experience, volunteering as a peer counsellor in high school has taught me the value of having good communications skills My experience working with students at the school has taught me patience whilst my experience working as a promoter has motivated to become a fast, innovative thinker. Volunteering at meals on wheels and working with the elderly has taught me humility and resilience. Being a member of the UJenius club and Golden Key Members Society has taught me that hard work pays off. Therefore, I can say that my academic qualifications, my achievements, skills and passion to learn make me the best suited candidate for the advertised role. I look forward to hearing from you soon. Sincerely,
Nosipho Khumalo.
