Curriculum Vitae of Lerato Lekabe
To whom it may concern.
I hope this letter finds you well:
To express my avidity for long-term/short term employment at your company/organization, I’ve taken the time to personally prepare this resume which serves as a concise elucidation to what is probably one of the most important questions preceding any job interview. And here is the answer to:
Why should you hire me?
First, I believe that nothing great has ever been accomplished by any ’single’ person. Behind every great person, business, or organization is an extraordinary team of outstanding personalities with skills and attributes that complement one another for greater success.
I also believe that your company/organization was founded on the belief that it would one day stand for something great. To contribute and add value to the lives of many, by challenging the status quo while others succumb to it. Inspired by your vision, my goal (after securing this position at your company), is to work towards becoming one of the most valuable members of the team. An asset keen to add value of immense proportions.
It is also worth mentioning that my fascination about learning has kept me open-minded to new ideas and with a firm background in sales, I will engage your clients and customers in such a way that loyalty and repeat-business from all whom I come into contact with becomes inevitable. Afforded the opportunity, I will work and earn my stripes, by going the extra mile.
Personal affirmation:
“We are self-made, but only the successful will admit it” ̴ Earl Nightingale.
I will out work myself.
I will outsmart myself.
I will improve myself in any every way possible.
I will thrive with vigour if there’s room for growth.
