APPLICATION FOR VACANCY: ADMINISTRATION
Motivational Letter
I am Shannique Michaels, 25 years of age and am writing to you as I am searching employment to start my career and also to finance the final year of my studies.
I am doing a National diploma in Human Resource Management..
Between 2015 and 2019, I have been employed on a temporary basis in between studies in administrative positions. I believe that I am a very good candidate, as I am hard working, a fast learner and I am very energetic. I do not believe in leaving work for the next day, as far as possible.
I believe in working hard for the things I want in life. I also believe that I can be a great asset to your company, even though I don’t have many years’ experience.
I have good customer and telephonic skills. I am goal orientated and driven, and am able to perform well under pressure and without supervision. I believe in work ethics, taking responsibility for my work and doing it to the best of my ability.
I really hope that you will consider my CV and the skills I have. I believe that your company is the right company to help me grow professionally and administratively and add where I lack certain skills.
Thank you for taking the time to read this letter and look at my CV.
Yours Sincerely,
S. Michaels.
