Dear Human Resources Department / the Recruitment Officer I am a confident and hard working woman that has a vibrant energy. I have good interpersonal skills and I am open to continuous learning. I have a natural ability to plan, organize, lead and control. I take pride my work and aim to achieve excellence in all I do. I have built up a broad work experience base and excel at cultivating and maintaining positive work relationships within various levels of hierarchy. I have adapted to many changes in careers due to the difficulty of finding a job, thus I enjoy attaining new skills and knowledge.

I have had extensive laboratory and admin work experience in office environments, the retail sector and service industries, giving me varied skills and the ability to work with many different types of people and products. I believe I could fit easily into your team. While working, Coen Bezuidenhout Seed testing centre, Ocean Agriculture I successfully applied my research skills and worked closely with the samples being studied. I supported the research in completing assigned experiments, and recorded and analyzed massive amounts of data. This experience gave me the opportunity to work closely with a team of researchers, and helped me to understand the importance of good lab practice. I am a conscientious person who works hard and pays attention to detail. I'm flexible, quick to pick up new skills and eager to learn from others. I also have lots of ideas and enthusiasm. I'm keen to work for a company with a great reputation and have worked for high profile companies like Pricewaterhouse Coopers (PWC) and Shell Chemicals. Thank you for taking the time to consider this application and I look forward to hearing from you in the near future.

Yours sincerely,

Samantha Saran
